For a 5 star hotel the rooms are needing an update. Remote control for TV needed to be changed 3x to work, shower sliding door broken took them 1.5 hrs to repair. Worst part was on our last day, there was no water for shower. Front desk NuNo was very rude i n handling the situation.

Landscape around the hotel is nice. Food was not good and expensive. We were given a room next to staff room so struggled to sleep from the noise. I think the hotel was over priced

Consistent High Standard (third visit)

We were not happy with our room as this is the third time I have stayed at Epic Sana on the third floor with an ocean-facing room. The representative at reception immediately resolved the issue on the phone and offered us another room which was available for us to move into the next day. This displayed a high level of customer care because he did what he could to find a solution that worked for the customer rather than ignoring the fact that we were unhappy about what we had paid for. The only challenge was that the hand dryer in the men's bathrooms of the fine dining restaurant in Alquimia pushed our dirty air and needed to be replaced. This did not occur in any other bathroom at the resort and is not what you would expect from a fine-dining restaurant.

The hotel was comfortable with friendly staff. The room was spacious, and the breakfast was good. However, the hallway leading to the room had a very strong sewage smell, which was odd. While the room showed some signs of wear, it was still well-maintained. I was disappointed that no one informed me the beach facilities were unavailable. Despite these issues, I had an enjoyable stay overall.

We loved everything about this hotel. We had a 1 bedroom suite which was large, with 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette. It was quiet and had great black-out blinds. All of the staff we encountered were wonderful. There are multiple pools which were never crowded, and a beautiful beach. I would highly recommend this hotel!

This is simply an amazing hotel

This is simply an amazing hotel. We stayed for four days with our kids (10 and 6) and had an incredible time. Our garden suite was bigger than most apartments i have lived in and extremely comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was great, the bar was fantastic for snacks and casual dinner. Beach was beautiful. Local restaurants and ice cream shops were great for kids and reasonably priced. But most of all the service was incredible - extermely attentive but in a relaxed calm way. Special thanks to Renato in the bar who treated my family like royalty. All in all we had a great time and we highly recommend Epic Sana.
