Labranda Corralejo Village

I write this review on day 4 of our 9 night holiday. We arrived at 10pm Saturday and the transfer was about 45-mins from the airport. Check in was nice and smooth. We were given sandwiches and some fruit on arrival as the restaurant was now closed. We booked a Deluxe room with a balcony pool view. Our room is situated in Block J. The blocks could do with bigger signage as trying to find the room on arrival and in the evening was a little taxing. Our room is lovely and big with a double bed (2 large singles) pushed together and also a sofa bed that was made up for our 16 year old. It’s a great spacious room with a fridge and free safe and the bathroom is nice and big. All in all a great room with a lovely view of the quiet pool. Nicely decorated and the air con works perfectly. On Sunday it was mayhem in the hotel. Far too many people as the buffet restaurant didn’t seem to cope too well with the sheer number of people. We went to lunch and 1pm and it was heaving with no tables free. So we then went back at 2pm and the restaurant had emptied a little but the available tables had not been cleared away of dishes so we had to do this ourselves and asked one of the waitresses to clean the table for us. Lunch was decent but again the pizza chefs couldn’t make the food quick enough as queues had formed… Now the sunbed situation … we woke on the Sunday morning about 8am and people had literally plonked their towels down to reserve their beds, but then were not seen for hours on end, not fair really as the hotel was so so busy and there was a shortage of beds. It’s now Wednesday and this issue has eased off and there are beds available. I imagine it’s due to the school summer holidays and folks travelling back home ready for the new term to start. I can’t say I’m disappointed 😁 The sunbeds are really crammed together and I totally agree with previous reviews that there’s simply not enough umbrellas !! It would also be good to have some small tables for the side on the sunbeds but due to cramming all the sunbeds in there’s no space ! The food is a bit hit and miss tbh, I’m not a fussy eater and yes sure we’ve paid for all inclusive so variety is expected but then again what would I have ate at home … cornflakes for brekkie, cheese sandwich for lunch and maybe pasta for dinner LOL so you won’t go hungry and there’s something for everyone. The drinks are your usual local spirits, simple cocktails and beer on tap. The beer, soft drinks, wine and juices are self serve but a few times the soft drinks syrup needs refilling and this isn’t kept on top of by the bar staff. Now the indoor evening entertainment venue reminds me of a working men’s club back in the UK 😅 it could do with a bit of an uplift. We’ve only popped in for a quick drink as we aren’t ones to sit around for the entertainment and besides there’s not enough outdoor seating area where the stage is so we have headed out to music square or other local pubs.
