8/10 Very good

The grounds of the hotel are beautiful with a direct access to the incredible praia de falesia, it’s located outside of Albufeira but we used Uber to get to restaurants in the evening and we ate twice in restaurants nearby the hotel. We had a really pleasant stay unfortunately the last 2 days were a little spoilt as there was a big group (20 people) staying and they took over one of the pools, playing music, drinking, smoking and being loud not exactly the vibe of the place which usually is more peaceful & relaxing. The view from our room of the gardens and the ocean in the background was beautiful.

3rd Visit - Says It All
Good choice of : Accommodation Restaurants (3) Bars (2) Pools (4) Easy access to Falesia Beach. All staff smart and friendly, providing good service. Minor comment : Shaving/ washing face difficult in wash hand basins - tap overhangs half of the basin and while the waste outlet is covered there is no way to retain water in the sink.

Amazing hotel
We are just back from an 8 day stay at the Epic Sana in the Algarve and we had a wonderful time. I have stayed in various different places but Acoteias is my favourite. At the Epic Sana we had a one bedroom suite as we were travelling with our two year old and this gave us plenty of space. The room was cleaned daily to a good standard and free bottled water provided. We also were able to use the lunch buffet restaurant for free due to our room type which was a welcome addition. The staff at breakfast and lunch were very friendly and the food choice was exceptional. Lots of standard dishes along with Portuguese specialities like chicken pies, octopus, custard tarts and almond cake. I enjoyed the yoga - so relaxing! Pools were great too. Falesia beach is simply one of the most amazing beaches in the world and we loved the easy access. Can’t wait to return
