Vale de Santa Maria Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Vale de Santa Maria, Albufeira

"Amazing hotel. Highly advise to get a room here. Got an ocean view. Everything is a 10 min drive away. We visited lagos, albufueria, faro, tivira all from home base here. Albufuera is a bit ti ratchet where as carverio is more laid back and so close to lagos"

"Everything was perfect! The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and always smelled fresh. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The room was spacious with a large balcony, which was a big plus. We had a small issue with the hot water, but it was fixed within an hour — very quick and efficient service. I truly enjoyed my stay here and will definitely be coming back!"

"Wonderful resort with all you could need within the apartment for self catering. Safe, clean and the staff were friendly and could not do enough. I enjoyed aqua yoga, a massage and my husband enjoyed a round of golf on the course. The kids enjoyed the many pools which were clean and very well maintained. A little train took you to the beach and back, and supermarkets are less than 20 minutes walk away. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. "

"Wonderful three night stay at this hotel! Friendly welcome at reception and we were shown around the main areas of the hotel. Breakfast was great, good selection of fresh and cooked food. It was a little walk down the hill to the main part of town where we found lots of nice restaurants & bars. We wouldn’t hesitate to return! "

"The guest services gentleman could not have been more helpful. He helped navigate us to wonderful destinations and travel shuttles with ease. Truly an asset to the resort."

"Second stay at the Epic Sana and would highly recommend. "

"We really enjoyed staying there. We ate the breakfast and it was good. I don't know what is technically eco friendly except maybe they don't wash your towels every day unless you ask. The location is excellent since it was a short walk to the beach and most of the walk was walking across the area of land to get to the beach. Tons of activities nearby that are extremely fun. And there is more beach to the town than the first glimpse from walking over that you see. Sure not a five star hotel, but reasonable in price and worth more than the price"

"Fantastic location and great staff."

"Perfect place for family three nights away with teenagers.We spent most of the days at the pool by the Casa Azul, lovely breeze, never busy, and handy snack bar for drinks and food right there. Its a little hilly so prob not the best for anyone with mobility issues. Ate breakfast both mornings at the Alfarroba restaurant. (Tip: ordering off the a la carte menu is better value than the buffet but that nay have been because we got the buffet one day as it seemed to be finishing up). Mini market on the site stocks anything you need. Kids played mini golf one evening. The resort is not really walking distance to anything in the heat…maybe had it been cooler and we were there longer, we would have attempted to walk to old town. Ubers were about 6-8 euro into the old town or the strip and were easy enough to get- no waiting. We booked a three bed apartment that was in great condition but had slight sign of wear and tear, mainly with the light in the bathroom not staying on and one plug socket that had come away from the wall. Apartment had everything you could possibly need (washer, ironing board, good kitchen with dishwasher). Bathrooms seemed pretty new and shower had great water pressure. It was advertised as having one bathroom but when we got there, there were two which was a pleasant surprise with 5 people! Tip 2: We ordered groceries and food via Uber eats since it was late when we got there. Overall I was delighted with our time here and the facilities- perfect for us! "
