3HB Clube Humbria surpassed our expectations and the highlight has to be the staff, this might be a 4 star hotel, but the staff here are first class worthy of 5 stars! From a warm welcome when checking in at reception, to an even warmer welcome going straight to lunch at the buffet restaurant, this extended to the kids club as well, everyone at this hotel prides themselves on providing a memorable experience. Special thanks go to Samar and Dina at the restaurant, who helped reassure us what was safe for our daughter who has a milk allergy, and who brought her food especially for her (banana pancakes, pasta and strawberry sorbet). Special thanks also go to Mariana and Giovanna at the kids club who provided excellent entertainment during the cloudy/wet days we had, they really made the experience special and inclusive for our children.
The food at the restaurant was brilliant, so much variety, each day there was something new to try for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a wide range of drinks available to cater for all ages. It’s difficult to go back to regular life and not have pancakes for breakfast everyday, not to mention pizza for lunch and dinner. The chicken, duck and pork knuckle were highlights, juicy, fresh and tender, the chefs were outstanding.
The pool bar is in a great location and provides a range of drinks (hot and cold), ice pops and ice cream and also has a food hatch with hot dogs, sandwiches, chips, pizza and other items in the afternoon and night, so if you have any room left after the restaurant, you can fill up there.
There’s also the Melody bar, opposite the restaurant and pool, where they have a kids disco, quiz and evening entertainment.
There are 3 pools (main, child and splash park), which are brilliant but they are not heated, we went in April and despite the sunshine the water was cold enough to take your breath away. This didn’t stop my wife swimming, but it did mean our kids were resistant and complained, I would recommend bringing body warmers if you don’t like cold water. Despite being cold, the pools are cleaned daily with a robot cleaner, you can see it going around at night.
On the subject of clean, this hotel clearly prides itself on being kept clean and keeping high standards.
This hotel is shaped like a resort, and it’s architecturally beautiful by design, with each of the apartment blocks surrounding the resort, giving it a lovely feeling, whilst ensuring that guests aren’t on top of one another.
The apartment, we had a pool view suite in block C on the first floor. It was a great location and provided everything we needed. It had 1 master bedroom with king size bed, built in wardrobe with 12 hangers, mirror and hairdryer, a lounge with kitchenette, dining table, sideboard and 2 sofa beds (which are quite high up, thankfully though we put both mattresses on the floor and they fit millimetre perfect, so our young children didn’t fall out on to the hard floor), and a bathroom with a shower over the bath, sink, toilet and bidet. They even provide hand soap, hand moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, which were actually quite nice (if you like citrus/orangey scents). The only negatives would be:
1. Comfort of the beds and pillows, mattress is firm and pillows are soft. But that’s personal preference.
2. Sink is really high and set back, so a stool would have helped our young children.
The hotel also offers a wide range of facilities for all ages:
1. Games room (pool, ice hockey, table football, pinball) (€1)
2. Kids Club
3. Park
4. Gym
5. Outdoor football and basketball court
6. Giant Chess & Checkers
7. Ping Pong/Table Tennis
8. Spa Treatment Shed
9. Mini Horse Merry-go-round/carousel (€1)
It’s also a short 10 minute walk to the beach, with shops on the way for buckets and spades.
I would happily recommend 3HB Clube Humbria to friends and family.
