The kids entertainment throughout the day and the evening until a reasonable time was great to keep my children aged 5,10 and 12 busy. The older ones liked the pool games and the games room. The little one liked the mini water park and the disco/show. The food was good quality but it was very repetitive, though they always had veggie options.

The staff were very hands off. They would only point you in the direction of where things were and wouldn’t get anything for u ( condiments or cookery) and when I asked them to help me get some chairs so my family could sit down ( as there was a table free with no chairs) they looked at me like I asked for one of their kidneys. This is what makes this hotel 4 star, zero service.

Breakfast was fantastic, every choice available. The food in general was superb with a huge range and choice available, sometimes it was cold but given the amount of people being seved this is not surprising.

Cold food and crowded restaurants. This is a very busy hotel, surprisingly busy for May. I would not like to stay here in June or July since I think it would be unbearably crowded.

Loved our stay at this hotel. The pool area is large and there’s a good vibe with music on. The staff is lovely and always ready to help, they even helped me sort out a little surprise for my partners birthday. Food is great especially given that there are 4 restaurants available. If I had to be picky I’d say it would have been nice to include snacks such as crisps and peanuts in their snack bar. Drinks are available the whole day at different spots, a mix of self-service and served. Cocktails are okay but pre-mixed so very sweet. The hotel is out of Albufeiras center which was a plus for us given that we didn’t want to be in the mess of the strip.

The AC in the room is old style, doesn’t cool down as much. The hotel is very family friendly which I can imagine it’s a plus if you come with kids, but I have to say that as a couple we found it a bit much. The entertainment programs are mostly catering to kids and while there are kids pools available they were mostly in the main pool. It would have been nice to have at least one area in the hotel reserved for adults only (there’s a disco like bar like that but it’s in the basement, I’m referring mostly to a terrace or a restaurant) to take a break from it.

Facilities , Pool , entertainment, kid friendly , decent vegetarian options in the main buffet restaurant. Even got a free upgrade to pool view room. Oriental restaurant was ace which is a reservation only so do get a spot early.

The entire hotel lacked good air conditioning including the lobby areas (went in late May 25). We asked for a technician to come in to check if the air conditioning was working or not , the technician came in after repeated requests and he found out that the aircon was blasting at 29C . The technician spotted the problem immediately and fixed it . He even told that the temperature is controlled centrally, so the room wasn’t at the most comfortable temperature throughout the entire stay. There is a fan in the room which doesn’t go very fast citing safety reasons.

Wonderful Stay with an Exceptional Culinary Experience We had a fantastic stay at Hotel 3HB Guarana - all inclusive, with lot of activities for childrens and families, and one of the absolute highlights was the food experience. The dishes were not only delicious and beautifully presented, but what really stood out was the personal attention from the chef Diogo Sequeira. We had a special diet, He took the time to guide us through the menu, made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences, and even shared a bit about how the food was prepared and where the ingredients came from. Eventhough we could not eat the desserts because of our diet, the chef Diogo was VERY kind and made something special for us to eat. You could really tell that this is someone who’s passionate about their craft and cares about giving guests something special. It made the whole dining experience feel more personal and memorable – not just a meal, but something we’ll actually remember from our trip. This is a very amazing place to relax and enjoy the holidays with friends or families, and the hotel is something which is worth going again.

The hotel is absolutely fabulous, so so clean. When we arrived we were upgraded to a bigger room. Rooms cleaned every day. There are two different restaurants on site and main restaurant, a pool bar and sports bar where you be entertained by bar manager also a small night club at weekends. Music & entertainment in main bar every night. The selection of food is amazing and staff are so so pleasant. Such a relaxing hoilday & a beautiful area

Everything was perfect thanks

Hotel facilities are pretty good. Restaurants and bars are available throughout the day and access to variety of very good food. Its a very busy hotels due these inclusive deals but its clean and tidy and well maintained. I have 7 and 3 year old's and they had loads of activities, kids clubs and entertainment was excellent. Loved the options for cocktails and drinks and night time shows and pool parties on weekends are excellent! Also Its a quite nice walk (15 mins) to the Albufeira beach, which is very beautiful.

1. Outdoor pools open at 9:00 and sunbeds by the pool are pretty much occupied early hours so make sure to get down there and mark your beds early as possible.

The pool area was fabulous, especially the swim up pool. We were there in August so it was very hot and the pool was a welcome break from the heat. The food was very good also, we were all inclusive and it was definitely worth it. The lobby of the hotel is very nice, gives a fabulous feeling when you check in.

The rooms could do with updating, but they were very clean and comfortable. The deck chairs were also very close together and you had to be out early to get a spot. This is expected in August but it was very crowded.

The all inclusive deal, the friendliness of the staff, plethora of activities for the kids and the pool is awesome

The Air conditioning in the room was inadequate in the family room…. The ancillary bed was in a hot portion

love lots of things! perfect for families. love the fact it’s now branded spirits and better food. And JC, the entertainer was excellent! outstanding even!

the fire door on level 2, outside room 2001 kept slamming as the magnetic door hold was broken. didn’t like the evening entertainment apart from the show by the staff. the music was not for our generation (age 40’s) it was more like for age 70, when there’s hardly any 70 year olds. get a magic show, an Abba tribute, a Michael Jackson, a buble singer, Madonna singer. a dance show. the karaoke got a bit tedious alternate nights. glad they now do fish fingers but only saw them one night.
