Labranda Corralejo Village

We have just returned from a stay at this hotel. This was our first visit to Fuerteventura and like many other reviews, we have mixed feelings on this hotel. The rooms were very spacious and cleaned daily. We have stayed in cleaner places but it was adequate. There were two rooms and the shower room. A main room with a pull out sofa bed, TV and wardrobes and a bedroom with single beds pushed together. Some maintenance needed to be done. The tap on the bathroom sink had sunk into the worktop from water damage and was lopsided. Some of the metal legs were rusty where meets the floor which was not nice to see . The hotel advertised that rooms had been ‘Recently Refurbished’ however how recent that was we don’t know but definitely not holding up very well. The shower area seals had black mould in parts and you could see that the rail holding the glass shower screen in place was very dirty. Corrosion had set in some parts and leaked water when showering so had to ensure towel was near door to absorb water. Also check the milk left in your room. Out of the 4 left, 1 was out of date. We never used but just check as this had been mentioned. But overall, we liked the layout of our room. The safe was free and the air conditioning was the good. The food was lovely. Lots of choice. Fresh pizza was cooked at lunch and dinner which was lovely and the guy making them was always smiling. The dining area could have done with some new chairs. They were stained and some were falling apart. They also all seemed to have a layer of dust on the rungs. The staff in the dining area worked tirelessly, but a few more of them would have been better. It is true that the entertainment team seem to engage more with Italian guests. With the exception of two. I think his name was Carlos? And the children’s entertainer Ila. They treated everyone the same. Ila was very good with the children, getting them to join in and always had a smile and hello for my daughter. We agree with other reviews that they need to turn down the volume of the music. We like music but it blasted your ears. We had to sit across the other side of the pool. The main thing that let our stay down was the swimming pool. It was turning all lighter coloured swimwear green. Our daughter’s swimming costume started turning green after her first half an hour in the pool and got worse as the holiday went on. Basically anything in a lighter colour which included our swimwear was going a deeper tinge of green as time passed which we were not able to wash out! Other guests were also suffering the same, and it was even making the hair of blonde haired guests turn green. We even saw one man with a green beard. We complained about this twice and the staff came up with different excuses each time. Other guests had been given different excuses again. The first time they told us they had never known it before and that it must be the fabric of the swimwear. This was a lie as other guests told us they had complai

Moved to this hotel after an awful experience at the hotel I originally booked. Thank goodness I came here! The rooms are perfect, very clean, modern and everything you need. The pool area is great, no problem getting sun beds, spotlessly clean. The food in my opinion was to a very good standard, lots of variety, freshly cooked options. The restaurant area again very clean. I had a massage which was excellent, I didn’t get his name but he was very nice and made me feel at ease and relaxed. The only slightly annoying thing was the music around the pool, I love my music but it was far too loud for me. All the employees I encountered were polite and Jayne was particularly helpful getting me sorted when I moved hotels. Would definitely recommend to friends and would return here if I came to Fuerteventura in the future.

This was my 7th time in this hotel but first time since it rebranded and revamped when labranda took over. I was hesitant to book as nothing could replace the old 'pleasure dome' dunas alisios to me but I took the leap and booked it for me and my family. The rooms I have to say are beautiful. Working aircon, cleaned daily, very spacious. The only downside is the toilet/bathroom is in the bedroom and the door to the bathroom doesn't close or lock. It's frosted glass and it opens both ways. You can imagine how frustrating it is having your 3 year old coming into the toilet whilst your on it lol. The sofa in the living room pulls out into a VERY uncomfortable bed. Even my 3 year old struggled to get some sleep on there. The beds in the main bedroom are so hard it's like lying on a concrete slab. The pillows are so thin I woke up with neck, back and a headache every morning, that's if I had even been to sleep. Pool area and poolside bar are kept clean and there was no fighting for sunbeds each day. My only complaint is that the pool bar only serves in very small plastic cups which I understand fully being right by the pool but I think if your not sitting by the pool a proper glass should be offered. The only time you can get a proper glass is in the rock bar on a night which opens at 6.30. As others have said the entertainment leaves a lot to be desired. If you aren't Spanish or Italian you don't get spoken to / smiled at or even acknowledged. most of the staff are lovely though. They took time to talk to my son. And i have to say the ladies in reception were really lovely as well as one of the life guards. My 3 year old would have loved the mini disco on a night but as it starts at 8.45pm he is usually too tired to join in. There isn't much entertainment on a night other than 8.45pm mini disco then the main entertainment at 9 or 9.30. For me this hotel isn't as young family friendly as it used to be. ( I know it's a different company ect ) I think it should be an adults only or at least a 16 plus because of the lack of things to do for the young children and the lateness of all the entertainment. And the type of people it seems to attract. My son who has adhd and autism was playing in the water with his dad one day and a lady complained he was too loud! If we ever had to tell him off people around us would stare like we shouldn't be there. It was very uncomfortable. We felt very out of place the entire time like we shouldn't be there. Again not like it used to be. The food I have to admit is great, there's something for everyone! Can be a bit repetitive but being a vegetarian i always found something to eat. Fresh pizza and pasta are amazing!! Best part is the ice cream bar!  All in all it's a very nice hotel but I think it's more suited to older people and older kids. Would I come back......possibly if there were just me and my husband but I wouldnt be bringing my child here again.
