This was by far the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Not only is this property, gorgeous, and well appointed. The view from the balcony to the ocean was amazing. The staff was fabulous and they give you welcome gifts when you arrive and make you just really feel at home.

This was an absolute gem of a hotel in the area. Close to the beach, quiet, clean, lovely property and accommodations. Exceptional staff. Easy walk up the hill to the more lively nightlife and restaurants, and a lovely pool with bar to relax by during the day. Would book again.

We had a great stay and loved Golden Beach. It’s very touristy area and can get crazy but we couldn’t hear it in our apartment. Pool was great and our apartment was perfect and more than we expected. Great staff who were very helpful.

A beautiful property with all the necessary amenities with pool, jacuzzi, bar and amazing staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The highlight of the property is the proximity to the beach and the strip. Lots of dining options on the strip.
5 stars to Gina & Katya who were not only friendly but also kind and thoughtful.

Property location is excellent and ocean views outstanding. The area is very noisy and it would be nice if the rooms were a bit more soundproofed. Parking is also a challenge as the hotel has very few spaces and on busy beach days it is difficult to find space. Overall a very good place to stay.

We had an amazing stay. From the beautiful property to the help at the frontt desk, everything was perfect. Beautiful property and plenty of room in the apartment. Loved the balcony. One of the best features was at the end....We were not scheduled to leave the city until late in the afternoon, but they held our luggage and provided towels for the pool. Most other places will kick you out at 11, but they welcomed the extra stay and made you feel at home.

Great stay at 3HB Golden Beach! Reception was very friendly and communicated everything we needed to know. The room was spotless and we enjoyed an early check in and welcome snacks. Although the area outside the property was somewhat rowdy, the property itself was safe and had a family vibe. One large group of rowdy young guests was immediately and respectfully asked by management to tone it down or risk being asked to leave. The bakery in the market next door was a daily favorite for coffee and breakfast. We avoided the strip and spent time at Praia Falésia, Praia Marinha (Seven Valleys Hike), and Old Town;

Nice stay. Spacious apartment (unit 12). Great view of ocean. Bathroom did not have extractor fan although the fittings suggested there was one. So lot of humidity after a shower. Sliding door to spacious balcony would not lock. Also I thought there would be more comfort if there was softer lighting in the lounge and bedroom

Good central location hotel
Good stay in a very good location. Everything you need for self catering. Many little supermarkets, restaurants and cafes nearby. However, I found the food quality poor anywhere near the property, but it’s obviously not the hotels responsibility.
Check in was fast and we even got to check in many hours earlier than expected, so this was so convenient and great as we travelled with kids and had many luggage’s.
Staff is always very welcoming and always willing to help.
Rooms are spacious and cleaned every day. Downside is that none of the pools were heated. This was really disappointment as my little one was looking forward to some splash in the pool. If I will travel again with the family then I would
Probably stay elsewhere due to freezing swimming pool. Please consider heating at least a baby pool!

Wonderful stay in a great place.
Short stay in apartment 17 before joining family in a villa.
Everything was wonderful - towels for the pool/ beach, washing up stuff. Shower stuff.
Little kitchen.
Very polite and helpful staff.
Only gripe is the fact that people put towels down on sun loungers by 9.00am so late comers are left sitting on chairs. We went to the beach so not bothered by this. Perhaps a new rule should be - no one on the sunbed after 1 hr, the towels are removed?
Life guard and bar pool were great also. Happy hr is helpful.
5 mins to the beach.
We’d stay here again.

This was a great location and small condo area with pool and day bar. Rooms are spacious and clean and minimalist. They are old so there were a few insects that got in and very minimal problems. We loved the location of our room and really can't complain. The desk staff and all staff were awsome. Didn't like that the grandpa was not allowed to throw a ball in the pool to his grandchild.
The comfort is the problem. Pillows were piecy, no comforter, old style blankets and microwave etc, like ,,,, old. But they work. Couches are practical for sleeping but not comfy for a couch, but it worked. Overall we would stay here again. Just not sure what else would be comparable, maybe they are all like this. Hard to say! We really did Like/Love it, in its own kind of way!
