3HB Guarana - All Inclusive

This hotel is truly a fantastic hotel, we couldn’t fault it. Great food, the additional restaurants although still buffet offer a good option for different cuisine. Plenty of space and sunbeds available at the pool and and the rooms were really spacious. The hotel was very clean and well kept. The entertainment team are brilliant and there is plenty to do for all ages.

Long review - We’ve just returned from a week here as a family of 5 (4 adults & 1 two year old). This place is absolutely brilliant for families! Room - we selected interconnecting twin rooms which were separated by 2 doors (so either side could stay locked) equipped with 2 large singles which can be made up to make a bed of super king size. I emailed the hotel two weeks before our stay to ensure both rooms were made up as one bed, and requested the largest cot available for my toddler. The cot provided was fab, good mattress and bedding. We did take our own toddler quilt & pillow (vac bagged in our suitcase is a top tip). You can also request further pillows, which we did ask for. There are thicker blankets available in the wardrobes. The AC was great and easy to use, both rooms had ceiling fans as well and both rooms had mini fridges & safe. The rooms are TOTAL blackout with the curtains in there, great for any kids that need it dark. Plug sockets are near the bedside and we did take our own triple plug which was helpful. Bathroom is well equipped with products, towels, bidet, bath & shower and hairdryer. The only downside to the room is that there isn’t really anywhere to keep the suitcases & buggy. As we had two rooms we blocked the hallway in one to keep the bulkier stuff which worked well. Food - there is a main buffet open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 2 other restaurants that require booking (Mediterranean and oriental ) and a snack bar. Breakfast options are really good, plenty of choice for everyone. We didn’t tend to go the main buffet for lunch and instead used the snack bar which offered burgers, hot dogs, baguettes, wraps, ice cream and other items alongside drinks. They also provided takeaway packaging so you could eat at the pool or take to your room. Dinner was fine our at the main buffet, the adults could always find something they liked but we found that it didn’t offer any plain meat options. The oriental restaurant was absolutely amazing! The quality, selection and freshness was 5*. Had a range of hot dishes, sushi bar, sides and they even had a door to the main buffet for adults to use to go and get their children a plate of food if they didn’t want anything (great idea and we used it!) Mediterranean restaurant had the same door but to the snack bar. Again the food was brilliant here and we ate there twice as it was our favourite. Resort - it’s so incredibly clean! There are 3 swimming pools in the main area, one which is a small kids pool (0.5m deep) so perfect for toddlers as they can walk around in it. It’s nice that they allow guests to leave pool toys, so you can easily find ones for your kids without bringing/spending. There is another kids pool on the upper deck, a splash park (which although states 4yo, we saw a lot younger in there and took our 2.7yo as he was accompanied by 2 adults and was one of the older ones in there on our trip). There is a pirate play park at the top deck, kids club (4y min) and fu

We stayed as a family of 3 (2 adults and an almost 2 year old) and wow! This hotel is honestly amazing. If you wanted to stay in the hotel 100% of your trip and not venture out you honestly could. The entertainment team were the best I have ever come across, they worked so hard literally all day long to keep everyone entertained! The staff at this hotel are outstanding, we didn’t come across any negative experiences with any of them at all! It is 100% a family orientated hotel, the mini disco at 8pm was the highlight of my daughter’s day and she even managed to stay up most nights for the adult entertainment! Comedy show is a must see - so funny, performed by the animation team. The white party was also fantastic, couldn’t fault any of the entertainment and we stayed in every night to watch it! The pools and splash park options are fantastic, although we did find the pool quite cold even in the 29 degree heat 😂 Small pool for the children was fab and the hotel keep all the pool toys that people leave behind to be played with which was ideal. The all inclusive buffet was such good quality, no complaints at all but we particularly enjoyed the oriental restaurant which you have to book but I believe you aren’t limited to how many times you can visit during your stay. The hotel has a sports bar which we went to when England played in the Euros during our stay, that was great and the animation team came round and painted England flags on everyone’s faces and got involved! The hotel staff were also brilliant, one of the ladies remembered my daughter’s name from the first day we got there to when we checked out and she made her day every time she saw her! All inclusive drinks options were also brilliant, beer, wine, fizzy wine, soft drinks on tap and cocktails plus many other options available from the bars. The best part of this hotel definitely has to be the entertainment team, they are just amazing and never ever stop working from morning until late at night! 3HB Guarana is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in! Thank you so much for a great holiday! My only regret is not winning a 3HB cap or tshirt! 😂

We went for a family holiday with our children and grandchildren to celebrate a significant birthday. What a wonderful week we had. The facilities for under 4’s were wonderful, a shallow pool, small water park and playground. The restaurant had lots of high chairs and the staff were great with the little ones. The food is absolutely amazing with a wonderful selection. We also visited the Mediterranean Restaurant which was fabulous. The rooms were large, clean and had plenty of storage. It was also nice to have baths for the toddlers. The resort is a small fishing village with a fabulous beach and lovely cafes and shops. We had a wonderful holiday and made some fabulous memories.

This hotel is one of best we have stayed in. From booking in until you leave staff are extremely helpful and very professional - nothing is a problem to them. All Inclusive package is one of the best with great food and choice of drinks. The whole complex is kept spotless and no rubbish left lying about. The Animation Team are very enthusiastic but not pushy always making time for a conversation. All bars and restaurants are great and a credit to their staff. Have already booked a return visit

Detailed review coming up but first, Facebook group ‘3HB Guarana Guests’ will give you all the info & questions you need for this hotel. We stayed in June for 10 nights on a Jet2 package travelling with a 3 year old. -Arrival- We landed on a Sunday morning, Faro airport passport control was chaotic which we expected. Took us about 50mins to get through. Asked about the priority queue with having a small child, got told it’s for children under 2 only although the day before we had family who arrived that got told it was 7 and under so I guess it’s luck of the draw. We got the Jet2 transfer and were the 7th and last stop. It took 1hr 40mins. (An Uber is under €30 so would consider that next time. Or a private transfer) Check-in at hotel was smooth at 2pm with the room ready for us. Beach/Pool towels given to you at this point, you can exchange them for fresh ones each morning with the lifeguard down at the indoor pool. You must hand them back on check-out or you will incur a fine. -Room- We booked a Double Family Room with a pool view. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. There was plenty of storage space with a double wardrobe and 6 large drawers. Sofa bed was already set up for us and was the size of a double bed. The main bed was comfy but found the cushions to be so soft they became flat as pancakes. Reception provided with us some more straight away. Hair dryer in the bathroom is poor, bring your own. The hotel provides shower gel, shampoo and conditioner which all have a strong orange fragrance. Air con is provided, we had it on the coldest setting all the time but the room was never freezing. There’s a ceiling fan also but I never found the switch for that. The balcony isn’t huge, quite shallow but nice enough to sit out in the day/evening but no outside light for the night. Drying rack could be larger, you can only hang 4 items on there really. No tea/coffee facilities, but all available downstairs. No iron although theres a communal one provided in a room near the lifts on each floor. The safe is free, no deposit. Large TV, no English channels but you can take an Amazon Firestick. Definitely taken a plug extension as there aren’t many in the room. We were more than content with our room and spent very little time in there but I would say they only have a couple more years in them before they need a refurbishment. -All Inclusive Food & Drink- The standard of the food was superb. Breakfast was brilliant, so much to choose from. Omelettes, full English items, continental, cereals, fruits, porridge, waffles, churros etc. Even the pancake options were vast including Beetroot, Chocolate, white grain and normal pancakes. They had a juice bar area with freshly squeezed juices. The orange juice tasted amazing, so much better than the concentrate they had available as well. If you’re a late riser, they have a mid-morning breakfast option situated in the Oritental restaurant next door from 10:00-12:00. Lunches and evening meals

Absolutely brilliant hotel with many of opportunities available. All-inclusive food- 10/10, food was phenomenal and honestly couldn’t have been better! So much choice for even the fussiest of eaters. Bed- 7/10, could have been comfier however it did the job. Entertainment- 9/10, very out there and very different and it also got everyone included somehow. Air Conditioning- 3/10, we found that the air conditioning isn’t the best and overall doesn’t make the room cool at all. Pool- 10/10, very nice and clean and is suitable to all ages with a pool noodle/armbands. Members of staff- 10/10, so polite and kind aswell as being willing to help whenever. We found the male staff member with long hair and glasses absolutely hilarious! Thankyou 3HB!!

Amazing holiday. From rooms to staff to entertainment. After searching and searching and reading many reviews I decided to book 3HB Guaraná and I'm so glad we did!!! We had an amazing week. We stayed in a family room with sea view which was lovely! Food was great always a good variety. Staff were incredible especially Bethany, Barbara and Sara who always spent time playing with our children and their energy was brilliant. The evening entertainment was great, the shows they put on are a must see. There isn't one fault from me. Would recommend this hotel for couple and family's!!!!
