The cleaning staff went above and beyond - the hotel was very clean! (they even cleaned the roofs!)
Good food, varied entertainment, clean pools, attentive staff - overall very good experience.
The room was ideal, however a walk in shower would have been better.
The bar were fine and the bar staff work very hard. One observation is when your sitting in the reception area you have to go down stairs to get a drink.

Extremely well run hotel
Found this hotel to be exceptionally well run. Although very busy, there was never a problem in finding a table for our group of 8 for meals.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the level of cleanliness was excellent.
The choice of food for every meal was really extensive and the quality very good.
Would definitely recommend for families.
The staff at 3HB Guarana are all to be complimented for the excellent care provided to their guests. The quality of the food and the cleanliness of the entire facility are noteworthy. Special thanks to the front desk staff for their assistance in navigating a concern with one of my excursions.
H, hotel is clean, our room was very clean too. Staff very polite & respectable & it works both ways.dinning area food well displayed ,good spread.Toilets exceptional, even with many people using them.
Food was unreal - especially non meat options which was surprising. Facilities are high standard ,staff friendly too. Thoroughly recommend if you're looking for a place to relax
Lovely hotel in good quiet location, the majority of the staff were all helpful and friendly. All staff work hard, the hotel and grounds are spotless. Food and drink was good for a all inclusive !!
Check in and check out was very smooth. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a lovely stay. Rooms and facilities were very clean. The beach was walkable down the cliff and that provide =d much needed exercise especially after the irresistible food which we was provided in all restaurants within the hotel. Wonderful stay and will definitely go back!
Amazing stay very clean very friendly, helpful, let us keep out luggage after check out, and ate still until we left.
The only dis appointing thing was my hotel massage 75 euro awful massage just felt like somebody rubbing the ha da o er and no water offered afterwards and miserablw face just wanted to go home as i was the last client. Hotel was impeccably. We would stay agsin.
The staff were extremely helpful and kind. They went out of their way to accommodate any of our requests. The food in the buffet was very good and had a lot of options. The Japanese restaurant was excellent. The entertainment staff were very approachable and humurous. We really had a wonderful stay! The only thing that you should know is that this is really a family oriented resort with many young children. As two adults, that part wasn't favourable, but for a family with small children, this is the place to go!
A bit overcrowd, some restaurants are not always available without an early reservation. Cleaning is excellent but more than once the staff forgot to replace all the towels.
Surroundings are safe and walkable but in a day or two you can easily visit everything there.
Apart from that, we really loved everything else, especially the warm staff.
We would like to come back one day.
+ The hotel room was really good, clean, good soundproofing and big enough.
Food: good for be an all inclusive hotel.
- ( Minus) The where extremely loud music in the pool area, and all the sun beads were taken early. It felt more like a party than a family trip. We ended up at the beach just because we couldn’t stand the all the drunk people and party music.
I don’t recommend this hotel, it’s not worth the money.
I glad i choice this hotel. Facilities and pool area very nice. Restaurant got so big selection of food, every day different and tasty. Always lots of fresh fruits and juices, also many options for kids. By pool area we had nice music and lots of activities for kids and adults. We booked pool view room and got amazing sea and pool view . Thank you all staff , everyone very friendly. There is in restaurant area lady who clean a table , she is amazing. And when you see her in the morning she cleaning table , smile and singing , your day definitely start with good mood . Unfortunately i not get her name. But wanna say to her Thank you very much .
Positives - very clean rooms, oriental and Mediterranean restaurants make a change from the main dining area and not limited to how many times you can use them. Safe in the room is great.
Negatives - loungers could be cleaned. The oriental restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. The pools are freezing cold. The lower ground spa pool and jacuzzi are also very cold. In my opinion for what we pay we should get heated pools. Entertainment in the M bar is good but repeated so much that it’s too much. I would expect the same stuff for each week but in two weeks I heard all of the same stuff at least 6 times, likely more. At every meal they take your room number and how many are dining and I can’t think of why. It’s all inclusive so this makes no sense to me, but maybe they have their own reasons.
Overall a nice place but wouldn’t go again. I’ve had much better experiences at other all inclusives.
There are two beaches, the smaller one about 5-8mins walk and 126 steps to the large one which is beautiful.
Vilamora Marina is lovely and a 10-15min walk to the beautiful beach which is stunning with bars and places to eat, amazing actually.
