SANA Sesimbra Hotel

We spent four nights in this property ,having arrived from a well known and expensive five star hotel in the Algarve ,within moments of our rival it was obvious we had made a good choice . The property is located on the sea front a short walk from a variety of restaurants , attractions and beaches. The hotel is well presented in a modern deco style . The Check-in was very efficient and friendly with assistance given with parking and baggage .our room (103) was a similar deco style , was very clean and as throughout the property strict adherence was given to the coved 19restrictions with evidence of the room being sanitised and sealed prior to our occupation. Sleep quality was very good as was noise insulation . The bathroom was adequate with medium quality towels and toiletries .other facilities including connectivity T V etc were studs factory there is not however a tea or coffee station .The complement breakfast is not outstanding but is more than adequate. There is a roof top pool with removal roof depending on the weather , there is a small gym equipped by techno gym .Finally the staff are a pleasure to deal with being very friendly an professional as usual there are always some standouts in this case that is definitely all the reception staff who were far nicer than anyone we encountered in our previous five star hotel.

The picture shows the light on the balcony, which stayed on all night. So either closed curtains, or floodlight. ☹️ The reception couldn‘t help. I paid for seaview, yet the light made enjoyment impossible. Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the stars over the ocean - forget it, not at sana sesimbra. The pool is a glorified bathtub, 90cm, and warm. Recommendable for parents with small children - pnly. The food - overpriced, small portions, and poor quality. Only the prices are high quality. The ambience is more like a first class medical facility then a hotel. The staff was trying to help, yet it seems to me, that the working environment is very strict hierarchical. Everyone has his head down. Again - like in a hospital, if the leadership is working with pressure.

The best of the hotel is the location! The room furniture is old and the pillows are big, and the quality of the material is bad! We hadn’t receive any info about safety procedures. The breakfast room was crowded and people could touch in plates, cups, etc etc. the garage -2 level has an awful acess!

The room was clean and tidy and had a great view of the beach, however, there were no tea or coffee making facilities. I asked for an iron and ironing board and was told this wasn't available, however, laundry could iron my shirt for me but it would be double the cost because I needed it doing quickly.

The hotel is very well located directly at the beach in Sesimbra, it has a great swimming pool, a wonderful rooftop snack-bar and very friendly staff. The restaurant is has also good food and a nice terrace by the beach.
