01 · In a sentence

EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel in Albufeira.

EPIC SANA Algarve Hotel occupies a striking clifftop position above Praia da Falésia, originally developed in the 1990s as a resort property and extensively renovated to meet contemporary luxury standards.

The hotel's modernist architecture takes full advantage of its dramatic coastal location, with floor-to-ceiling windows and terraced layouts that frame the Atlantic Ocean.

Today it operates as a full-service destination wedding venue offering both ceremony and reception facilities with direct beach access.

I went to epic sana to celebrate my birthday. Everything about epic Sana was perfect. There were 3 swimming pools, one with a bar and mini restaurant, and the other right next to our room. Breakfast was wonderful, as there was a buffet 1 minutes walk away from our room in the hotel where they served pancakes, amazing salami and cheese. They also served a wide selection of drinks such as Coca Cola diet, normal and zero, many juice flavours and water. Beach was incredibly close by with amazing views of the mountain and cliffs near to it, with the beach being big and the ocean blue and clean.
