Sani Beach

We stayed at Sani Porto during half term with friends, and it was hands down one of the best holidays we’ve ever had! The setting is absolutely stunning – from the beautifully kept grounds to the luxury feel throughout the resort, everything was flawless. The service was exceptional from start to finish – warm, friendly, and always willing to help. The food was outstanding too, with a brilliant range of restaurants that catered for both adults and kids. Travelling with children, we found it perfect for all ages. The facilities are top notch, the beach is pristine, and the whole place has such a calm, elegant atmosphere. It’s rare to find somewhere that ticks every box, but Sani Porto truly does. We made amazing memories with close friends and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxury escape with a personal touch!

Favourite holiday! Was everything and more we'd hoped for. Staff were so attentive and lovely, hotel was incredible and had everything you could ever need. Such a wonderful place for a family. Will definitely be coming back next year! Thank you so much Sani Beach.

Five star prices - 3 star standard The hotel Sani Beach charges very high prices for rooms that are merely a 3 star standard. Also the lobby and most of the common areas except for the beach and pool are pretty average in terms of design and materials. The main issue is that everything seems old and rather cheaply furnished. We stayed in a junior suite which was completely disappointing despite its high price. We had a queen bed and the TV was somewhere in the middle of the room due to lack of space. Plus the room was rather small for a suite. The bathroom was super old and smelly. The furnishings old and cheap. The pictures and impressions people get on the hotels website are therefore misleading. Also booking half broad is a waste of money. What the hotel does not explain on their website is that half board is tied to a so called „dine around“ menu which is of lesser quality than the a la carte menu that you get at the restaurants. Some restaurants don’t even participate in the half board system so there you pay full price anyway. Plus the food isn’t good in all the restaurants. Even though some of them look fancy the food they serve is pretty average. Anything buffet is even below average. Having said that the service was excellent and the staff extremely child friendly. No exceptions. The beach was beautiful including the sunbeds. Some restaurants like for example the beach house serve excellent food. All the above comments apply to Sani beach only. The other Sani hotels seem to be of a much higher quality and standard judging by the looks of the lobbies and common areas there. The reception manager apologized for the low standard of the room and seemed to be fully aware of the issue pointing out that the hotel would get renovated in a few years.
