We loved our 5-night break at 3HB in Faro and highly recommend this hotel. Their ace card is their staff: welcoming, charming, hospitable, and going beyond what is required. They could not have been more helpful nor professionally discreet. The interior design is superb with all natural materials, warm colour schemes, and tremendous attention to detail. Our large room (120) was spotless and the bed very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious with a wide choice available and special mention of freshly cut fruits, real honey, my husband loved the omelettes and I the crepes, the little coconut cakes and of course the crispiest more-ish Pastel de Nata. The pool area feels very luxurious and again the design element came into play. It is not the largest space but there are nooks and crannies to discover, plus this is a city hotel so I would suggest that if you want to sunbathe all day, then choose a resort hotel which offers precisely that. We really enjoyed the City of Faro thanks to the expert guidance of their guest relations desk, which is always manned in the lobby, and in particular Ricardo who has prepared a list of suggested restaurants showing their specialities and walking distance from the hotel, although the hotel food is truly excellent if you don’t want to go out. Faro is a gorgeous little city and we managed to arrange to do/see something every day, and the friendly locals made it very enjoyable. Probably the first time we have left a hotel thinking that we really must return.
