3HB Guarana - All Inclusive

An amazing hotel, we had a wonderful week here with our boys aged 10 and 7. Great facilities - so much to keep us all entertained. The staff were lovely and worked SO hard - the entertainment team, restaurant staff and cleaning team did everything to make the hotel experience great and keep the hotel spotless. My son had his birthday when we were here and the management and staff were so kind to him, giving a card, a singsong at dinner and a bottle of bubbly for mum and dad :) The food was incredible!! A huge choice, delicious and always plenty. I really couldn’t fault this hotel - take me back please!

Baby friendly tips! This review is for anyone coming to the hotel with a baby and just my tips in my personal opinion. Firstly the staff are super friendly and always interacting with the babies. Babies make lots of mess and they aren’t annoyed or phased by it at all. Some other tips: - Bring food pouches to be on the safe side. Not a great deal of choice and no ‘children’s section’ so it was hard to tell if things had added salt etc. - Breakfast wise there’s toast, yogart (large pots not individual pots), hard boiled egg, milk, soy milk plus oat, almond and lactose free are available on request. - Not a huge amount of fruit available but there is lovely fresh melon but without the rind so we had brought a food dummy with us and filled this with melon in the morning. - I did see one microwave in the main restaurant tucked around the corner at the back if you need to heat things up. - Ask for a kettle at reception as there isn’t one in the room as standard. - If you’re a formula feeder (we are) then the bottled water provided at reception is safe to use for making the bottles. It even has it on the front (translated in the pic). - There are no children’s plates, they use the normal plates so if your baby likes to grab the plates I would say bring your own one as the plates will smash. Would also bring cutlery from home as there aren’t any plastic ones. - The cots the hotel provided are nice and big. Our baby didn’t mind sleeping in it and did spend the majority of the night in it. Was also great to use as a little playpen that we filled with her toys when we were getting ready. - We had a twin standard room which is 2 single beds however we requested before hand via email to have this made up as a double as she does sleep in our bed towards the end of the night and this was no problem for them. It actually made a HUGE bed so she slept very well in it. - The entertainment at night is loud! We were in room 506 which was perfect. Quite room and did have a partial sea view (in pic). I would recommend staying at high up as possible for a quieter room. - The parasols at the pool don’t block out the sun fully so if you have one bring a pram brolly as they were much better for keeping her in the shade. - The highchairs are the ikea ones so if you have one of the inflatable high chair cushion bring this. We did and this was a massive help. - Lastly the pool is FREEZING. She refused the outdoor pool (went in May) but the indoor pool was a great temperature. - The steps down to the big beach aren’t too bad but defo don’t do it with a pram, bring a baby carrier if you have one. - If you want a nice quiet area to have a drink out of the sun defo utilise the lovely seating in reception. It’s beautiful and has a great view of the pool. You can bring your drinks from the main bar. This was our first trip abroad with our 7 month old baby so I hope this helps a fellow parent feel confident with going abroad.

This was the first holiday me and my partner had been on since his two strokes, and it did not disappoint! From the minute we walked through the door we were blown away by this little piece of paradise. Everything was clean, rooms were comfy, staff were helpful, facilities were great. Entertainment was good and The Crazy Show was hilarious! We also loved how accessible the hotel was as it’s hard to find somewhere so good for this. There were ramps all around the hotel and lifts to the rooms and various floors. The best part was the ramp into the pool, meaning my partner was able to go in the water, which was wonderful! Couldn't have asked for a better holiday and can’t put into words how much we enjoyed staying at this hotel! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We enjoyed an incredible week here in October half term. The staff on reception were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were fortunate to have a room in the family block which was only 2 storeys high so no issue with waiting for lifts etc as could use stairs. Facilities were amazing. Pool bar, snack bar, sports bar, main bar and the restaurants. My son was in his element in the sports bar watching every football or rugby game showing in the evenings. As others have said the pool outside isn’t heated, so quite chilly. We did have a dip but didn’t stay in too long. Sun beds in the swimming pool were nice. Just a shame bit cold to sunbathe there. The indoor pool is nice (and heated!) but got very busy as people wanted to be warm and it’s only small. Sun beds were plentiful. Could always find one, no reserving at all. Which was great.Several self service drink stations for on tap wine, beer and soft drinks. The Portuguese cider was lovely. As were the cocktails and mocktails. Staff in bars were so friendly, attentive and pleasant. Thank you for introducing my husband to White Port - he loved it! Entertainment staff tried hard to put on things for the adults and parents but not pushy if you don’t want to join in. Enjoyed the water aerobics/ dancing. Good fun. The rooms were light, comfortable and airy. Small fridge in room - although ours didn’t work. No kettle in room but we had read this on reviews and took our own travel mugs and kettle so wasn’t a problem. Beds and sofa bed were comfortable and family room worked well for us and our 11 & 14 year old sons. Apartments clean and new towels provided daily. Free water also provided. Left in room and additional can be requested at reception. The food - main restaurant has a huge range of food available. Always a fresh pizza bar, pasta bar to keep the kids happy. But lots of lovely meats, fish, rice dishes, roast potatoes and vegetables. Lovely choice of desserts too, definitely best all inclusive food we have had. Piping hot plates means food warm too! We preferred opting to eat outside as found indoors too noisy and enjoyed hearing the outside musicians playing whilst eating. The snack bar throughout day provided wraps, sandwiches, toasties, burgers, fruit and cake if you feel peckish in between meals at all. We also ate in the Oriental restaurant- wow sushi heaven! Sushi is our kid’s favourite and their eyes lit up at the beautiful display. The oriental food was lovely, meats, fish dishes, spring rolls etc. Being a smaller restaurant was much quieter and more peaceful- do advise booking early as slots do fill up quickly. The Mediterranean restaurant was our favourite- grilled meats, fish, lovely sauces. Delicious! Whilst away it was my husbands birthday. The receptionist arranged for a chilled bottle of Prosecco to be in our room when we got back from day out. There was also a lovely hand written card. The hotel manager phoned him to wish him happy birthday. Then when we went to resta

Beautiful hotel Quite location Rooms clean Food good Snack bar amazing Facilities brilliant Pool cold.. Kids play area fantastic Town small but worth a visit Beach was a good walk.Drink selection brilliant Amazing stay staff friendly and helpful

Really pleasantly surprised by this hotel, check in was good, room was good, shame about the pillows! Most of the staff were great, some of the restaurant staff could have tried harder. The food was possibly the best all inclusive we have had. Oriental restaurant was poor in our eyes. The hotel was always very clean. Entertainment was a mixed bag. The shows put on by the entertainment teams were poor, the Abba tribute night was appalling. The fence on the walkway to the child's play area was falling down and dangerous. The biggest problem was the outside pools, far too cold even for our kids, for a family hotel, it should be heated to a certain level. Inside pool was ok but stuck in a dingy basement. Overall, great stay but we wouldn't return due to the pools, such a bit part of a holiday like this and when they cant be used, its a real shame.

This hotel is lovely, I stayed for a week with my little girl and we had the best time! The entertainment team were alot of fun and had a full programme! The hotel itself is lovely and clean, we had 1 issue where the flush on our toilet stopped working, but a call to reception and 10 minutes later maintenance were there fixing it. The food was good, lots of choice but did become a bit samey as the week went on. Location wise it's a short walk to the nearest town, which is small but has a handful of shops/restaurants and bars, so all you need! All in all a good stay, although pool was freezing, but you do get used to it, and it's actually quite nice in the heat of the sun haha

Superb hotel, very clean, great entertainment for the kids (always remembered our kids names). Mediterranean restaurant is a must but book early. Oriential is really good aswell but felt Mediterranean had more food for the kids. All the drinks and food were great but the cocktails we thought were Especially good. Kids loved the splash park and loved doing the games at the big pools (volley ball, water run, dancing) Staff are superb, cant do enough for you and always really happy. Will be back.

5 out of 5 for our Holiday at 3HB Guarana this May 31st-7th June! What a wonderful hotel. We stayed in room 1013, a seperate block from the main building with a lovely view of the pool. It was our first family holiday with my 10 year old son and 4 year old autistic daughter. My sister in law and family came also which included her daughter with many very severe food allergies. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. Absolutely delicious. So much variety. Absolutely stuffed our faces for the whole 7 days we were there. As I mentioned, my niece has severe food allergies and the staff were just superb. The chef came out to greet us at each meal and asked what she would like from what was on offer and they would cook fresh for her. Nothing was too much trouble. Hotel so clean! Staff absolutely on the ball. Tables cleared immediately. Staff so friendly and energetic. Love the touch of the free water. You just go to reception and get as many bottles as you need . Beach is a 5-7 minute walk away - a beautiful beach! My kids loved it…we all did! Ahhh, we loved our holiday so much we didn’t want to leave! A week later, we’ve booked again for next year! Love love love 3HB GUARANA! We will be coming back year after year!!! Cannot rate any more highly A* 10/10 Thank you all at 3HB our first family holiday was perfect!
