The room is basically a one-bed apartment with a living room and kitchen. It’s huge. The balcony and sea view is stunning. The space itself is absolutely perfect. The hotel grounds also have pretty much everything - pools, gym, jacuzzi, deck, snack bars, etc. It’s just a few steps away from the beach. And the staff is so wonderful! Overall, it’s a great hotel and great space!

It’s a bit far from “downtown,” so it takes some effort to get to where the “action” is (if that’s your thing), or where the main beach is. Also, Albufeira as a whole was not impressive to me. That has nothing to do with the hotel, tho. For Albufeira, this is a great stay.

3 bedroom & 3 bathroom spacious Villa opposite hotel, tucked away in a busy location, close to beach. Very clean. Good AC. Wifi worked in living room. Nice terrace. Hot tub. Good showers. Good basic kitchen. Could use hotel pool. Near a couple of nice beach restaurants & basic supermarkets. Uber’s ready & waiting & cheap.

More shaders on terrace. The Villa can take 6 adults but just one shader. Couldn’t eat outside too hot and no shade near table. Could have added a few more items like dishwasher tablets, cooking oil, salt & pepper. We had to ask for an iron & ironing board and carry it across the road. Very close to The Strip - yes the 4am bars - my teens loved it but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!!

The apartment was spotless and the cleaners came daily to refresh towels and put fresh sheets on the beds. The pool was a lovely size and generally always somewhere to sit / lounge. The made such an effort with our little boy, the pool and bar staff were super attentive and always made an effort to interact. The shallow pool was also great for our little one, as the water was a lot warmer due to its shallow depth. There is also a small coffee machine in the room as well as receiving a welcome bag with some basic goodies on arrival ( milk, biscuits etc)

My only dislike really was the lack of enforcement around smoking rules. There are signs around the pool to state no smoking, which most adhere too. But the staff don’t seem to enforce it as much as they should and some guests are totally disrespectful towards the rules and others that are there to enjoy a smoke free area.

This is our second time visiting and we will be back next year. Perfect location to the beach and some beautiful restaurants and beach bars right on the doorstep. Still within short distance to new town and only a taxi away from old town. Facilities are excellent and spotless clean and the staff couldn't do enough for you ( Particular mention to Gina who always looks after us-Thank You Gina) Pool bar is the best for a snack and a drink and not over priced like some we've been to Thanks again Golden Beach we'll see you next year!

To be honest I don't want to say any negatives as we had such a good stay, but just for those with any mobility issues there are a lot of steps and its situated on a hill which will not suit everyone's needs

Lovely and charming apartment with all the amenities and 2 a/c situated only a few minutes walking distance from the beach. Small complex so you feel recognized by staff and consequently never too overcrowded by the pool area which is also lovely with its own snack bar and fun drinks and cocktails.

We loved everything however take note the walk from the beach is up hill as is the walk once at the complex , depending on your unit. Walk from pool is also up 1-4 flights of stairs depending on your unit. *Our unit’s ocean view was quite limited.

Apartments were very clean and spacious , Fresh towels were provided every day and cleaning staff turned down beds daily . Staff are all friendly and helpful. The food and drinks available poolside were tasty and the music vibe was chilled.There was live music on Saturday. You can leave luggage in luggage hold and there is a great facility to shower and change if your flight is after check out time.You are offered towels and full use of facilities while you wait. There is a lovely Italian- italian republic a two minute walk away. Clay oven is an excellent Indian restaurant if you fancy a walk and a really good meal. If you are booking taxi from the airport I would advise to do it through booking.com for a better price. ( 35 versus 65)

The “strip” was a little too close for my liking. It’s entertaining to go to through once or twice but tacky and overwhelming .Good bars either end of it though for live music. Apartments were quiet and safe despite the close proximity to nightlife and there was security at night.

Location was spot on, annoying little hill, but located half way up already, so was no drama. Always a sun lounger, although pictures can look deceiving, as if there isn’t many, but no issues. Big spacious and fully equipped rooms. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion included. No oven but microwave, hobs, fridge, small freezer inside. Pool bar had big range of drinks/food. Staff very accommodating and it made the trip feel like a home from home! Has luggage store and shower room for you to freshen up, for those on a later flight home. Use of facilities until night of the day you check out.

Just the little hill but cannot be helped and would revisit

Our hotel stay was great. We had a nice room with a decent view of the ocean and two patio areas. The pool and pool bar were lovely. Our room was thoroughly cleaned each day with fresh towels. The location was excellent, right next to the beach and close to the main strip but not too close so it was still quiet.

I wish they'd change the cocktail of the day, it remained the same for x3 days in a row. Also cocktail of the day happy hour price still seemed high.

This hotel was great for our family of three. Close to the beach and restaurants. Fully equipped kitchen. They give you plenty of towels. There is a pool and snack bar by the pool, but we didn't use it as we were more interested in the sea. But I would stay here again.

The walls are thin. You can hear babies crying and men talking next door or from above. I was woken up every morning by a crying baby. They could trim the bushes for a better view of the sea from the ground level unit.

What a beautiful place! I visited Albufeira for a short solo trip in March 2023 and stayed at 3HB Golden Beach. I stayed in one of the top floor apartments and the view of the ocean was absolutely incredible (see photos). The location is perfect - the hotel is 2 mins walk downhill to the beach, and 5 mins walk uphill to the 'strip' nightlife area. The apartment has everything you need - hairdryer in the bathroom, air conditioning throughout, fridge/freezer, kitchen essentials, plenty of seating, balcony in living room and in bedroom, shower gel / soap / conditioner in bathroom, free safety deposit box in wardrobe, daily cleaning, plenty of towels, and if you need an iron & ironing board you can collect them from the reception. There is also a gym, swimming pool, bar and plenty of sun loungers on site. This was my first trip to Albufeira and I will definitely be back, and when I do I'll be staying at 3HB Golden Beach without a doubt.

Nothing - could not have been better. The apartment was beautiful, the staff we're super friendly and helpful. Loved it!
