Epic Sana Algarve
Portugal, Europe
Albufeira
This fabulous resort hotel is just a short walk from the sandy Falésia beach and fifteen minutes outside of Albufeira on Portugal's southern coast. The resort is surrounded by eight hectares of green countryside and features a light, contemporary décor designed to complement its beautiful natural surroundings, making it an ideal choice for nature lovers. The hotel's classic rooms, suites and apartments all come with plush, king-sized beds, private en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, large flat-screen televisions and free Wi-Fi. Guests can spend sunny days lounging by the five outdoor pools, golfing on a nearby course, or relaxing in the full service spa complete with sauna, Turkish bath, ice fountain, and gym. The three in-house restaurants serve delightful local and regional dishes in a chic and sophisticated atmosphere, while the two trendy bars offer light snacks and drinks or extravagant cocktails and lively music.

Amazing location.. right on one of the best beaches in algarve. Service and food outstanding especially the Italian restaurant at the hotel. Better than Italy with impeccable service

Five star standard let down by pool area
From the moment you arrive in reception you have the feeling this is proper five star (by Portugal and Spain standards). Service throughout the resort is excellent and the cleaners are in your room while at breakfast and there’s a turn down service in early evening - all great. Breakfasts were of a high standard but the queue for eggs was too long at busy times. Dining options were also good if a little pricey. We also enjoyed the day bed / cabana on the beach at a price of EUR120 per day.
The main reason for not giving five out of five is a really average main pool area that almost feels three star by comparison. The designers have sprayed cheap plastic decking all over the area and it just feels out of place versus the rest of the hotel. The pool itself is also average without any bells or whistles.
Would we return? Probably but at this price point we might try other five stars in the area first.

Luxurious resort with attentive staff.
The hotel was perfect. On checking in we were given an automatic upgrade on rooms. The room itself overlooked the pool and was modem, quiet , clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the TV and straight away were offered another upgrade free of charge to apologise. We declined as we were there for only one night so the hotel then offered us a free dinner at the buffet onsite, which itself is €50 pp. I cannot fault the customer service of the hotel. The staff are attentive and extremely welcoming.
There are little touches that make this hotel a five star, water given on arrival, fresh flowers given in arrival, valet parking so no need to worry about luggage.
The pool area was clean and again very pleasant. There is waiter service to your subbed using an app.
The buffer in the evening was very enjoyable, freshly cooked meat on request, a fabulous salad bar and a fine selection of deserts.
I recommend this hotel if you require a hotel of high standards in a quiet area away from hustle and bustle of the more popular resorts.

5 star experience all the way
I normally don’t write reviews but I can’t rave enough about this hotel. We have travelled with our family (two kids now aged 12 and 15) to many places and 5 star/luxury hotels and this is by far one of our favourites. The location is fantastic with the beautiful beach just next door, and since the beach was so nice we didn’t feel the need to visit other beaches but stayed at the hotel. The hotel itself manages to combine luxury but also coziness which makes for a very familiar and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were amazing, very attentive (remembering the room number after the first order) and kept all spaces spotless and fresh. Food was also great although we didn’t try the upper end restaurants but kept to the bar and buffet menus, but they very muck lived up to and exceeded our expectations. Will definitely come back!
Epic Sana is truly Epic!
We love coming to this hotel every year. Staff are amazing & nothing is too much trouble. They are all friendly & welcoming. Rooms are so comfortable & stylish. We were half board & found food fabulous. Always lots of choice but chefs on hand if you fancy something not on menu.
Tho location is also perfect for beach lovers like us. The most gorgeous beach just minutes away.
I would highly recommend Epic Sana Algarve 🥰
