"Nothing but excellent things to say. Incredible location, so clean and comfortable, staff are welcoming, warm and responsive. Especially if you are travelling with kids/family, if this place is available, highly recommend booking."

"After checking in and receiving directions to this apartment, the staff member admitted they had never been to this rental before and couldn’t give us better or more specific instructions. It took us a while to find and once we did, we couldn’t park at the building because the lot required a parking code we didn’t receive. No problem we were only passing through for one night so we parked at the lot behind it and carried our suitcases because rolling them wasn’t possible due to the streets...

"Schönes Haus mit mehreren Terrassen und weitem Ausblick. Die ganze Quinta ist ein herrlicher Garten mit vielen Pflanzen und Plätzen zum Entspannen. Sehr zu empfehlen, aber aufgrund der steilen Wege sollte man einigermaßen gut zu Fuß sein.
Idalecio ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
Schade dass wir nur drei Tage hier waren.

"Spacieuse maison, exactement comme sur les photos.
Propre, avec un rangement comme on en voit rarement. Garage et stationnement extérieur très pratiques. Je recommande fortement !
Petite suggestion : ajouter quelques crochets dans les salles de bain pour les serviettes, ainsi que des tablettes dans les douches.
Quand on regarde l’ensemble, la maison est presque parfaite, mais la table et les chaises de la cuisine mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement — les chaises ne sont pas très...

"Would definitely stay here again. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Live entertainment near beach every night. Great restaurants. View from rooftop was spectacular! Had issue with coffee machine & it was immediately replaced:) "

"When I read reviews about this resort someone said the photos don’t do it justice as it’s much nicer, and oh boy is that true! This is such a beautiful place, with attention to every little detail and a great resort to relax and enjoy the Portuguese sun. You can tell how much effort goes into maintaining the great variety of plants. I’d say the resort suits everyone like couples, a group of friends and families. We went with our 2yo toddler and she enjoyed the swings, trampoline, gardens, and...

"Hotel itself is very nice. Spa is pretty but did have a few jets in the pool not working. We stayed in the Villas which are nice but not nearly as nice as the hotel. If you like fresh towels every day, villas are not for you. Very strangely they only provide new towels every couple of days and are very strict in giving you more. Same thing with coffee creamer only one creamer per day per person. The hotel gets maid service every day with fresh towels but not the villas. I found this annoying as they were not particularly nice about it and it’s unnecessarily cheap. On the positive side, the property is in a great location. I would stay here again and would not have found the towel and creamer so irritating had I have known at the booking. "
"Lovely hotel, couldn't fault it. Small little things like pool water was baltic. Also, some days the queue for breakfast was a little long but moved quickly."
"This is a modern hotel with an interesting selection of artefacts and antiques scattered around the spacious cool marble spaces. Its very clean and well maintained. Breakfast from 8am to 11am is perfect timing for me as I like to take things slowly in the morning. Lots of choice at breakfast, all the standards - fruit, cereals , eggs cooked to order. Pool area was usually quite quiet when we stayed in mid-May.
The pool bar ( which is the only bar in the hotel ) served drinks and snacks from 12pm and dinner from a small menu from 6.30pm to 9pm. The bar closes quite early though - I think at 9.30pm. This was a little disappointing as there are no other bars nearby. The Eureka supermarket came in useful to stock our mini-bar ready for a late night drink on the balcony.
We did not have a car on this trip and walked almost everywhere.
The hotel is a 10 min downhill walk including steep steps, from the beautiful Porto de Mos beach where there are a couple of cafes and bars too but we did not wish to attempt the walk back uphill after dark. Walking to the old town is about a 4k distance with some inclines. Uber came in handy when the hilly streets seem like too much work. It's about 4 euro for an Uber from the hotel to the Dom Sebastião statue in the center.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel."
"Very good hotel but we were not able to use amenities right away once we checked in and needed reservations which is not good after paying about $540 per night"
"we were very disappointed in our room. Our "resort view" was a patch of dirt. When I asked of a different room I was told there were none available, despite have booked months in advance. The room itself, while nice and comfortable, had multiple maintenance issues - a lamp where the electric cord literally fell out, the bathroom sink was missing a diffuser causing water to splash all over us when turned on, a shower that would drip after turning it off, and a hair dryer that would not stay on.
Beyond the room, which most of the staff were delightful, we were frustrated when we went down to the beach late on a beautiful afternoon only to have the cushions on our chairs literally taken at 6:00. The next day when we went back we found we needed to pay 50 Euros for the chairs we sat in, something not mentioned in the literature or when we checked in.
We had stayed previously at the Epic Sana Lisboa hotel in Lisbon, and were delighted at every turn by how attentive and caring the staff were, and how well maintained the property was. So we had high expectations about the "5-Star" Epic Sana Algarve. Not to be. I think they rely on location and setting than actually providing 5-star service. That's too bad, because it is a beautiful place."
"Its tricky to be to harsh on this hotel.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
This is a 5 star hotel, which is a little generous.
THE BAD
The rooms are very dated
AC was switched off to all rooms. Maybe cost saving, however the hotel was busy, and no real reason for it being off when asked..
The safe did not work
The door to the balcony was damaged
The pool did not feel heated, and looked tired
The lifts would bounce and go to the wrong floors. The doors shut far to quickly
Corridors dimly lit and lifeless
Average room amenities, broken light switches dimly lit.
Queuing for a coffee at breakfast
THE GOOD
The Staff
Free local parking
Good location
Very clean
The rooms are large and the beds comfortable.
Lots of choice for breakfast and plenty of space (May)
Overall this hotel is in need of some TLC, and i would not rate it 5 star. 3/4 at a push.
It has enough charm and character, and i chose it on price an location.
Not a bad experience for my wife and I.
Would i stay there again......
Yes, due to the staff, and location and with adjusted expectations."
