Really good stay and would have all been five stars apart from, on our first night we didn’t realize the air conditioning wasn’t working correctly, woke up around 3am and the room had got up to 27 degrees. We reported it to reception around 8am in the morning, and they swiftly had an engineer look at the system and a damaged part needed replacing, it was replaced the same day.

Don’t waste your money

The hotel had 4 restaurants closed, they did not inform me of this before booking, the only meal was available was the buffet and at 48€ a head for Cole buffet was absurd, the spa was and extra €30 also, i booked this hotel for an special occasion for the spa and meal which was both compromised

Great hotel overall. We stayed a week in February in a room with ocean view. The room had a nice view and good size. Breakfast was delicious. Indoor pool was always warm and gym was well equipped. The spa is great too. The beach is one of the nicest in Portugal. While there are several restaurants nearby, there's not too much variation and food is relatively expensive. Would definitely stay again.

Epic Sana is a stunning hotel. Starting from the lobby right through to hotels grounds was all beautiful. The front desk was very helpful and friendly. Our room faced the ocean view and was set up beautifully. They made it extra special as it was our wedding anniversary. The breakfast was incredibly good and lots of food. This hotel is worth every penny spent. I can’t wait to return!
