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!

Attentive and friendly staff all over the hotel; from the kids club to the reception and dining area - the people really made our stay what it was. We had a small recurring issue with one of the lights in our room and were swiftly re-housed in a nearby, upgraded room which was great. The hotel was wonderfully clean and tidy, plenty to do between the beautiful beach/spa/pools/fitness classes and also very nearby padel courts. My partner and daughter are vegan - there was not an abundance of vegan options, but at breakfast the hotel were very helpful in making vegan alternatives where possible like pancakes in the morning; they had all the basics like plant based ‘dairy’ foods and they sourced vegan cheese for us, and had plenty of recommendations for restaurants in the area with good vegan options. There’s a small, quiet square with a small supermarket, shops, restaurants and bars just outside the grounds which was really handy for lunch and a few evenings to eat out, Pizzeria Falésia especially. We’d wholly recommend and would visit again; especially during a nearby vegan food festival in Loule in September!
