Bridget, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall value and experience only fair

Overall our stay was pleasant, the room was big enough but felt a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Outdoor space, including pool area and bars, the park and access to the beach, as well as access to other structures for dinner are beautiful. But…the property description was not clear about this hotel having a convention center attached which draws large groups. That plus a large wedding group from the UK caused a lot of commotion, inappropriate noise, resulting in the advertised ambience (think spa/wellness) to be compromised. We will not visit again and will search for better fitting accommodations with better value. Almost $600 lodging per night including breakfast deserves more.

Really Nice Resort

The Epic was just that, Epic. The customer service was great, the room spacious with a large comfy balcony and the meals delicious and varied. The pools were a good temperature and had plenty of chairs around them. The beach is a bit of a walk but very nice to have on property. However, the ocean water was only in the high 60’s in July so it was nice to have the pool options. We had a two bathroom suite which made getting ready for the day quicker. The room had a nice layout. Overall the hotel was quite impressive.

Well maintained hotel, great view, and excellent service

6/10 Good

Pros: housekeeping staff was excellent and overall the staff was kind. Cons: not for families with kids, especially toddlers. The park is for grown kids with no swing-set. Our child was not allowed into the kids club as it started over the age of 4, it is not advertised as this. Everything is an up-charge, beach umbrellas for example are not included in your stay, neither are bikes. The food is very costly here for what it is. The breakfast has very limited options for a resort.
Chifaa, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super clean hotel, friendly staff, great breakfast and lunch buffet food options, enough room at the pool lounges. Staff at the beach super friendly (for instance my phone died and one of the beach boys without asking gave me his phone and told me to return his phone once I'm done).
Vasko, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The Hotel is spotless but the poolside service is very poor and the service elsewhere was also slow. We booked this hotel for a long weekend break but on Sunday without notice we were told to leave as the hotel had been booked out by a party . No prior notice was given many guests were also shocked at this behaviour. This was not a cheap weekend break and it was ruined by the Hotel. I will be contacting Hotels.com for a refund!

Great hotel

The property is fantastic, can't say enough about the staff, friendly, helpful, and attentive to any request or needs. Location in Albufeira is amazing. Just don't know why a property of this caliber can't provide proper Wi-Fi because there is no encryption, so in my opinion it's essentially useless.
Glenn, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is paradise. The location, the amenities (gym!!), pools, staff, food, cleanliness (everything's spotless!) - everything was perfect. We cannot thank the staff enough.
Nicole, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
