We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at 3HB. I would echo the reviews of others around cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. On earlier reviews I had read that some people found that some of the pool bar staff were a bit miserable, and unfortunately I witnessed this too, which is a shame. The hotel itself is beautiful, a maximum of 3 floors, meaning that you felt as though you were in a little village Oasis, such a lovely environment. Yes pool was cold, but that was a very welcome addition given the weather is warm! We stayed in block D (none pool facing) and our balcony offered lovely afternoon and evening warm sunshine, and looked over tennis courts. The apartments are really big with a fridge, kettle etc (not that we used it). Bathroom is huge too, only down side is that the doors do not have locks on, so you need to announce to the rest of the family that you are going to use it - we have a 14yr old, and she hated feeling that she had no secure privacy The animation team manager worked so hard, put 200% into everything that he did! I was exhausted just watching him, He had 2 other males in his team, both of which were fully invested too, the girls on the team, were a little reserved, but friendly. The only down side for us was the lack of teen engagement and activities - There is a teen room, but every time my daughter visited it, it was empty. My daughter found one of the female animation team to try and get involved in activities, but she ended up coming back to us and said she felt that the lady wasn't really sure what to do with her! We can only compare to other AI places we have been before, which would put lots of effort into engaging the teens, and as a result, all the teens made loads of friends and came away with the best memories! I would say this lovely hotel is really for families with under 10's, and they were amazing at engaging that age group :) Evening entertainment was fun. If the animation team were doing it, it was a little thrown together, but actually you couldn't help enjoying it, and having such a good time, They have a local band come in for a few evenings called 33LM and they were really good! My daughter absolutely loved them. A walk down to the beach is a must, it is stunning! I would recommend wearing trainers so that you can do the walk around the coast, it is up and down sandy tracks! We had sliders on, we tried our best, but ended up turning back we just didn't have appropriate footwear! Also would HIGHLY recommend booking a Jeep Safari with Alsarafi Tours - we did the sunset one and it was the best. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday at 3HB, and would recommend it without a doubt. If you have a teen that prefers hanging with their folks, then I would take them
