Pool

Welcoming on arrival. quickly checked in and everything was explained to us. All the staff looked happy & enjoying tgeir work. Very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble . The Room was very clean and spacious. It was cleaned every day. Food was good and we loved the pool area and bar. Will definitely return

Birthday week

Well were do I start, firsty nearly all the food was cold and me and my husband like our food hot, so had to re-heat our meals. Some of the staff very rude the way the, spoke to him in a sharp tone and snatched the cup of him. And cock roaches every were around the grounds, and by friends patio doors to their rooms. The pool was to deep for me to stand up in and I'm only 5ft 1 Ince, and no depth markers around the pool to let you know how deep it was. No water any where in the complex, you have to have your own bottle and fill it up in the restaurant yourself. Entertainment staff very rude we were trying to watch euro football matches and wouldn't even put the TV on.

Worst experience ever. Not had a good time.

I will give a detailed and unbiased as possible break down of various aspects. 

Cleanliness = cannot complain, you can tell they pride themselves on this and sustainability so no complaints

Staff:
Bar staff, Restaurants & Reception staff = all polite, always say hello etc and no problems. 
Entertainment staff we noticed tend to engage more with people from there native home (Italy) than other guests, which isn’t the be all and end all. But a hello, ola, ciao,  etc or just a wave now and again as you walk past wouldn’t go a miss. especially when you feel you are forcing it every time you do it to them. 

Room: 
We had a leaking shower (this eventually got fixed) but the shower temperature was very and I mean VERY temperamental with constant bursts of SCOLDING water every 10-20 seconds. This meant having to have near cold showers just to protect yourself and reduce the risk of burns. Now for me this was not that much a problem as it’s a hot country so a cold shower in the morning or evening is sometimes nice anyway, but it’s something that shouldn’t even be a thing and could easily catch people out. 

The room itself was spacious, clean and had everything you need (including free safe and constantly cold fridge which was a nice touch). 

The design though = room for improvement:

The shower and toilet are inside the bedroom and in a little enclosed rectangle and could be quite loud when using as it echoes quite a lot. 

With it being an apartment the ceiling was obviously very thin. This lead to a lot of problems with noise during the night with us constantly being kept awake or woken by rude inconsiderate neighbours who would constantly walk around (like they are in a marching band, constantly slamming cupboards etc etc) management was told of this once or twice and thankfully we left and only had to put up with this for a few days. Any longer than that and we would have had serious problems as they are just ridiculous. Any constant noise past 1am is just unacceptable in my opinion. 

So overall for the room I would obviously this is luck of the draw. The first week was fine bar the shower,  but the second half of the second week that was our experience and that’s all we can go off which put a dampener on things.

Food: The main thing is this hotel is not that large, and the first week we were there = minimal guests = no problems at all. 
The second week = influx of 70-80 Italians, and from there on out there was constantly things missing at breakfast despite being early and then you’d ask if anymore is coming and they would just say non left. This was slightly frustrating as they should surely have more stock if they know a huge influx is coming. Sometimes just the lack of things or certain things not being kept warm ruined it a bit. 

*BUT THE FOOD SERVED WAS VERY NICE*
I can’t complain on the flavours of the food they served ESPECIALLY THE BARBECUE (a personal highlight, with very high quality food cooked to perfection).

The chefs were all amazing to talk to, and tried to accommodate / cook fresh for you if you could. 

Noise: music tended to get VERY loud around the pool depending which staff were in control of the music, a lot of people you could see get annoyed when certain staff would raise the music to an uncomfortable level and people would tend to move (IF POSSIBLE) to much further away. Again some people may like loud music. The only saving grace is that there are periods the staff leave and take the speaker with them, and when the music is at a tolerable level it’s fine and the songs they play are fine and everyone is happy. But the majority of people we spoke to did not want a night club level noise next to the pool during main relaxing hours. Even my partner who is very tolerable to loud things ended up having to move a few times due to the sheer volume. 

Overall I think the hotel is a good 4 star, but they should try and plan better for large influxes of people at one time. Whilst showing some consideration with the noise or at least ask if people are comfortable with the volume etc and not just do it how THEY want it. 

They are not the guests on holiday paying a lot of money to stay here. 

The negatives I have mentioned were reciprocated by at least 5-6 couples we spoke to (who knew English / Spanish) 

Overall I’d give the hotel a 7/10 which I feel a bit bad as some of the staff (specially the people on the bars, reception and restaurants were lovely), the place was very clean and some of the food was lovely (when available and warm) and without those things it would of been a lower score). 

I’ve tried to be informative and fair and not put any negatives that other people didn’t also mention, as some things can be down to personal preference and I don’t want to sound to harsh as for the majority of the time there it was fine and thoroughly enjoyable. 

So a massive thank you to all reception staff, the pizza chef from Italy (youngish man) and all the people serving drinks at the pool bar.

Good 4* (with room for some improvements)

First time staying at this hotel, after two others in Corralejo, and i must say it was really good compared to them.  the rooms were cleaned daily, and the pool i have never seen a pool cleaned to such a high standard as this one was and then the sunbeds were always put back neatly ready for the morning and sprayed with the hose to get rid of anything on them.  also there wasn't the usual rush for a sunbed, we always tended to get where we wanted in the morning, there is chain across and you can't put towels on before that to save them.  there was the odd few spanish/italian that put towels on and left them all day till about 2pm which i find really annoying.  

food cooked breakfast english sausage not just the party sausages fried egg, scrambled, there was something for everyone.  dinner and tea, pasta, pizza chips etc.  you would be hard pressed not to find something to eat.  

Staff were friendly, tables were cleared and cleaned for the next person as soon as you moved.

Room not to chuffed on the glass bathroom door when you used the toilet in the night it woke everyone up.  aircon didn't work at all in our room. but speaking to people this was the norm for most rooms.

Faults, the music round the pool, the blonde animation team  girl likes the music loud, it was horrific at times.  we never went that end for that reason.  they didn't speak to the English, only the Spanish/Italians.  one family said their children were upset as they never won anything as they were English.  and the nighttime entertainment well, i had to see it twice to understand, seeing a lass come out pretending to be pregnant was a little odd!!!  and also when England had there first game they turned it so loud you couldn't hear the telly.  outside it made your ears bleed.

the only thing that ruined our last day was the influx of Italians, they had no respect for anyone around the pool, there kids were screaming and shouting and running around the seating area at nighttime knocking people with there drinks.  there parents thought it highly amusing and did nothing, no respect whats so ever in other people staying there,  food ran out by 8am and we were told that there was no more food left.  when you pay for AI and it is open till a certain time, you need to make sure there is food.  not everyone wants to eat at the same time. 

apart from that, i would stay here again.  the management need to control other guests behaviour

fantastic holiday, lovely hotel, just some niggles

I have travelled a lot but has a family and alone and I would say this hotel is a good 3 star hotel.
The positives :
*Cleanliness around the grounds, they are well kept and pool is spotless.
*Modern decor in communal areas.
*Small so felt safe with the children, offering them a little more independence.
*Dining, no mad rush or big queues.
*Sunbeds, always some available and plenty of parasols.
*Location is central and perfect for trips out.

The negatives:
*Rooms clean and spacious but  bathrooms in particular are dated, make noise with a creaky glass door, the seals leak and are mouldy. Pillows hard and no extra pillows or blankets offered.
*No inflatables in the pool, except when it suits them on pool party day. The kids were disappointed.
* Food, choice is very limited. Ate pizza and pasta on repeat which was made freshly and they guy doing it was lovely, making sure my daughter got served when people pushed in.
They also clear up before the end of service and remove things like Nutella for the kids pancakes. 
*Entertainment, very dated and very little on offer. I imagine due to lack of budget and as mentioned by others, the Italians were favoured and English ignored. Not even smiled at so it didn’t feel too friendly.
* Not what I class as all inclusive, cocktails 4euro extra, no bottled water, you have to carry a bottle around and refill. No change in beach towels unless you pay 2 euro each. Cabana beds around pool 15 euro a day so they generally don’t get used which is a waste. 
Would I stay again, not anytime soon but if looking for a cheap holiday then potentially.

Honest Review

The recently newly designed and fully renovated LABRANDA Corralejo Village today shines in modern elegance and became a beautiful and charismatic hotel on Fuerteventura. The All Inclusive program invites to an easy going holiday. The dunes of Corralejo and the rest of the unique island are worth a visit, not only for surf enthusiasts but also for families who enjoy the island and its year around perfect weather conditions.
