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.

I had a great stay at Epic Sana, the staff were all friendly and helpful & the property was immaculately clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this hotel. Location wise, there are some decent restaurants, ice creams and a supermarket within 5 mins walk and you can access tennis and padel courts for a small fee.

The hotel is good but not a 5 starts resort at all. Don’t expect anything like 5 starts, the coffee is probably the worst I have ever had in my life. The breakfast is kind of decent but nothing special. The pool is ok.

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.
