Our verdict

Book 3HB Guaraná for the fullest All-Inclusive package in the 3HB Olhos de Água cluster - more restaurants, more pools, and a proper spa. Book 3HB Clube Humbria if you want the simpler, cheaper version of the same idea. Book PortoBay Falésia or PortoBay Blue Ocean next door if à la carte dining matters more than All-Inclusive.

One buffet gets old by Wednesday. If your group wants All-Inclusive and a real choice of restaurants, pools, and a spa without leaving the grounds, 3HB Guaraná is the fuller 3HB option in this area of Albufeira.

It sits in Quinta do Milharó, on the edge of Olhos de Água, and runs the biggest All-Inclusive package in the local 3HB cluster. Check-in from 16:00, check-out by 11:00.

Where Clube Humbria keeps things simple, Guaraná adds restaurants, pools, and a proper spa – useful across a full week when variety matters.

Who fits

Families and couples who want All-Inclusive convenience but also want to choose between four restaurants over seven nights. Anyone who’ll use a spa and gym without leaving the site. Groups travelling in spring or autumn who’ll actually need the heated indoor pool when the outdoor water isn’t warm yet.

Skip it if you want sand from your sunbed – you’re a walk or short drive from the beach here, not steps away. Or if a quieter, smaller resort suits you better than a busier four-restaurant property.

Pools and spa

Five pools in total: two main outdoor, two outdoor for children, and one heated indoor pool for cooler mornings or off-season weeks. The spa has a sauna, Turkish bath, and jacuzzi; massages and treatments cost extra on top of All-Inclusive. Gym and multisport court cover the active end of the day.

Ask what’s included before you book spa treatments. Massages, babysitting, and the garage are all extras here – not part of the base rate.

Dining and kids

Four restaurants and four bars give real variety across a week – helpful for families who tire of one buffet fast, and for couples who want at least one evening that feels like a proper dinner out without leaving. A Kids Club runs alongside the pools. Babysitting is on request at an extra charge if you want an evening to yourselves.

Location and getting around

Quinta do Milharó sits just inland of the Olhos de Água cliffs, within a short walk or drive of some of the better-known beaches on this stretch. Faro Airport is roughly 39 km. A transfer or hire car makes day trips into Albufeira Old Town or along the coast far easier than a week of taxis.

Compared with

3HB Clube Humbria for a simpler, cheaper All-Inclusive week in the same area – better if younger kids and a mini water park matter more than restaurant count. PortoBay Falésia and PortoBay Blue Ocean for the à la carte, spa-hotel version of the same neighbourhood. Where to stay in Albufeira for Olhos de Água versus Falésia versus the Strip.

Worth it?

Yes, if you want the most complete All-Inclusive package in this part of Olhos de Água – four restaurants, five pools, and a spa area under one rate. Confirm which extras apply before you pay, and book early if you care about heated indoor pool weeks in spring or autumn.
