Labranda El Dorado Lanzarote

We have just returned home from a 6 night stay in these apartments. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. The apartment was extremely spacious with a lovely large balcony looking out over the pool and another balcony off the bedrooms. We had a bit of trouble with 1 of the toilets not flushing and also the toaster didn't work but both of these problems were sorted very fast once we let reception know! The apartment was very clean but didn't have any sweeping brush which meant you had to wait for the cleaners to come if you dropped any crumbs or anything on the floor! You also only got 1 key for the apartment and had to pay a deposit for a second key which was refunded on check out ! There is also a back gate which is a shortcut over to the shopping centre, we used this the first day and when we came back we couldn't get back in as the gate was locked so we had to walk around to the front entrance to get back in ! I think you also need a key for this but we felt it should have been mentioned at check in because there was no information at the gate!! But it wasn't a problem as we didn't go to the shopping centre again after that anyway! The pools were lovely but had very little sunloungers around them considering how big the complex is. We never got a sunlounger for the whole week we were there. Everyone seemed to be putting their towels out the night before and this seemed to be allowed!! On two different nights we were sitting on our balcony at around 11.30pm and saw loads of people putting their towels down then !! The staff here seemed lovely and there was a blonde lady and an English man on reception who were extremely helpful and very friendly.
The location of these apartments is fabulous, you are near everything and they felt very safe so for this reason I would definitely return here again!!

Fabulous location, right in between the old town and new town on a slight hill. Very close to all shops, bars, restaurants and beach. Staff were all very nice and everywhere kept clean and tidy with room service most days. The only downside for me and something that people need to be aware of is that the photos shown on the holiday web sites of the rooms aren't a true representative of all rooms. Whilst there are some more modern, light and airy rooms within the complex, our was definitely one of the older style rooms that was rather dark and a bit gloomy, although it was very spacious. Another point to mention is that some of the holiday companys mention this hotel having "a restaurant serving buffet style breakfast and an a la carte evening menu. The restaurant actually closed down during the pandemic and never reopened. There is only a poolside snack bar on site serving snacks and drinks. I feel that people need to be made aware of this.

When we arrived I was worried but what a lovely resort. It's was clean yes some of the things in the room looked a bit run down but it was clean. The cleaners came in a lot and changed towels etc and we had a lovely view of the sea and pool. The pool area was always been cleaned and was a lovely spot ,annoyingly had to get up about 6:30 every morning due to everyone putting their towels on beds. The area was great and not far from the shops and shopping mall everyone at reception was very friendly and even had somewhere to store your luggage while you waited to go home.
