Had a lovely stay for just over a week. Cleanliness was really good and all the staff were fairly friendly and happy to help. Breakfast was good quality and varied but didnt changed much day to day so got quite boring (beans, mushroom, scrambled and boiled eggs, bacon etc.).

Great hotel

After a small delay in check in we received our room. It was located by the boiler rooms and was quite noisy on the first night so we were switched to a different room with no hassle. The roof top terrace is perfect for sunbathing and great views of the beach. We had the set meal in the evening which was amazing quality and good value for money.

Good service, somewhat tired facility

Service is good, location fabulous. Breakfast has a wide variety and I very much enjoyed my stay. The hotel would benefit from a fresh up, especially the bathroom. On mine there was signs of mold in the grout between the tiles and the hairdryer fell off the wall when I tried to use it, but for off season rate, it was all in all ok.

Location is very unique. Hotel is clean, well-organized, rooms are nice. Views are amazing. And staff is very friendly and helpful! I was checking out at 3:15am for an early flight and had a friendly conversation. He looked and me and asked if I wanted coffee before driving at this early hour. He went, prepared an espress and we chatted some more. Haven't experienced such before and I do travel a lot. Kudos for Sana Sesimbra!

Poorly maintained. Weird hair dryer in the bathroom. Was unsafe as came off n was unhinged. The tub surroundings were unclean. City view no good. I dont know how they get these excellent ratings as the hotel was not as it has been described on the net.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Lovely room with sea view and balcony. Couldn’t be beaten on that account. Would have liked a bottle of water replaced daily in the room. Freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast would have been a nice touch. I didn’t like the bottled “fresh” juice available. The staff were all very obliging and the cleaner was excellent. The pool was lovely and warm but my husband found a number of bits of long hair floating in the pool suggesting perhaps that the filtration rate is not as good as it should be. Apart from these few things everything else was excellent and I would certainly come again but have been slightly put off going in the pool.

The Sana is one of the nicest hotels in this lovely town. The staff were very friendly, and the breakfast buffet was very good with many options. The room was a bit small and a bit dated, but the view from the balcony was beautiful. The cons (which are really nit picky) are that there is a bright light on the balcony that is on all night so you have to keep the blackout drapes closed, and the hair dryer is insufficient. We recommend bringing your own hair dryer if that is important to you. There are so many dining options in walking distance and the town and beach are just so beautiful. The rooftop pool is spectacular!! We highly recommend this hotel and would stay again!
