Epic Sana Algarve

We booked a 10 day holiday to the Algarve and we stayed in this fantastic hotel. From start to finish everything was near perfect. The check in was quick. We arrived early as our flights got us into Faro about 10 am so we didn't expect the room to be ready but it was. The bags were taken from us when our taxi arrived and were taken to our rooms. The hotel lobby is one of the most peaceful tranquil lobbies I've ever experienced. The room was beautiful. We chose a sea view room. There was a little garden outside on the 3rd floor. It was heaven. We were half board to ate breakfast and evening meal in the main dining room. The staff were so friendly and helpful.. They always had time and a smile. The food was excellent. I try to eat healthily and there was so much choice all served beautifully. We loved the pools and the walk down to the beach on the wooden steps. The beach was simply divine!! We walked along the beach to Vilamoura - it took around an hour and was about 5km but so worth it. The fantastic red cliffs on one side and the sea washing up against your feet on the fine yellow sand. Just beautiful. We had a couple of massages while we were there too. Very relaxing and professional with great advice to take home. I used the gym a few times and did Yoga and Ab classes which were great. I also ran while I was there. There is a running trail near the hotel that is about 2km long then to lengthen the run I ran from the trails, towards the cliff edges and back towards the hotel gardens. Around 5km. The hotel even supplied a map. We visited the local bars and restaurants which are about 5 minutes walk away and there was a well stocked supermarket in that area too. The staff in the hotel were second to none. Everybody we came across was friendly, helpful and pleasant. We would highly recommend this hotel so much so we have booked another visit in October 2019.

This hotel is really relaxing - out of season there is loads of space around the pools. Plenty to do if the weather isn’t warm - walking cliffs or beach, spa/gym/indoor pool. Fabulous buffet at breakfast and evening meal (you won’t need lunch!) Spacious rooms with nice balconies - we had a pool view which was very pleasant. Lovely walk down to the beach - amazing beach walks towards Olfas de Agua and Albufeira. This is our 2nd visit in 2 years, will come back

Stayed here for a business conference, and added on a couple of days for leisure, and so glad I did! The bed linens are very nice, room update and modern. There is night light and enough plugs for devices, except by the bedside. The service is friendly. Overall environment is very relaxing, with lots of comfortable seating areas: inside, shaded outdoors, and full outdoors, including poolside of course. There are at least three outdoor pools and one indoor. Access to the beach is available through paved trail going down the hill. The grounds are beautiful and fragrant with flowers and herbs. The breakfast is fulsome. The only imperfect is limited dining choices: at lunch, only the poolside restaurant is available; and dinner is only available in buffet form. There are a few casual eateries and pizzeria right outside the hotel as options.
