From the minute we checked in, our experience at 3HB Faro was absolutely amazing. The hotel itself is spotless, modern, and welcoming, and the customer service genuinely stood out. A huge thank you to Kelyane Santos and Daniel Jesus at reception — they were absolutely amazing and surprised us with a free upgrade to a jacuzzi room, which honestly made our stay even more special. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail set the tone straight away. Customer service throughout the hotel was immaculate. As soon as we walked in, the hotel felt super clean, calm, and well looked after. When we got to the room, we were blown away — it was ridiculously spacious, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly laid out. The jacuzzi was the icing on the cake: spotless, relaxing, quiet, and luxurious. There was absolutely no noise from corridors or outside, which made it ideal for rest and relaxation. The room was exactly what you need — comfortable, pristine, and generously sized. Breakfast was another highlight. A big thank you to the kitchen and breakfast team, especially Paulo, Elizabeth, Gustavo and Tatiana, who went out of their way to accommodate me by making gluten-free pancakes, which was such a thoughtful personal touch. The breakfast itself was excellent — eggs cooked perfectly, food areas very clean and well organised, and again, a lovely calm and quiet atmosphere. We visited in the off-season, which made the experience even better for us. We also had a look at the spa, sauna, steam room, and pool, and everything was immaculately maintained — clean, quiet, and extremely well kept. The heated pool was a great bonus and added to the overall relaxing feel of the hotel. The location is another massive plus — right in the heart of Faro, within easy walking distance of everything. It couldn’t be more convenient. I’d also like to mention Joanna from customer relations. I emailed her before our stay, she replied promptly, and we also spoke during our visit. She was genuinely kind, friendly, and very considerate of our needs, which really made a difference. Honestly, I didn’t meet a single bad member of staff during our stay. Every single person was professional, welcoming, and attentive. After reading reviews online, I thought expectations were already high — but somehow, the hotel exceeded them. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in for years, especially for customer service, cleanliness, and room quality. I genuinely can’t think of any improvements to suggest. 10/10 — highly recommended.
