Labranda Bahia Fanabe and Villas

Stayed here with my husband and our 2 sons (10 and 15) for 6 nights. Hotel itself is lovely, very well maintained, rooms very clean and in a good shape. I would definitely recommend this hotel for people who want to chill in a quiet place for few days - atmosphere is very relaxing. There's 2 pool areas, one at the reception and one more at the back of the resort- this area is more for adults (the pools are deeper than at the front), there's also some sort of entertainment happening there during the day. The pool at the reception is very quiet- could use a bit of music during the day. Food was very good but if your kids are as fussy eaters as mine, would not recommend all-inclusive option - one of my boys was pretty much living on chips for the week (luckily there's lots of restaurants near by). All-inclusive option in this hotel is to be honest one of the worst I've seen so far - very, very limited options. You're allowed only one type of cocktail a day (whatever is on the special), if you want a different one you have pay for it. Snack bar was also very limited. The best thing about this hotel was location - literally minutes from everything - shopping centers, bars, restaurants, beach. Location spot on! Staff was lovely and helpful, except lifeguards - wouldn't allow kids to play ball in the pools which i found very odd. Pools were lovely and clean and to be honest the warmest I've been to so far. One thing that was really annoying was our room allocation - we were at the very end of the resort so had a good few minutes walk to the reception - the only positive of that was no loud noises at nighttime. Overall it's a nice hotel but definitely not for kids.

Me and my son visited this hotel as a weekend away after he finished college. Fortunately we did not spend much time in the hotel as we were only in tenerife for 3 days. We booked all inclusive so that we could have the choice of abit of fun, atmosphere or even abit of life at the hotel if we didnt fancy going out one night. Fortunately we did go out everyday because the hotel was absolutely dead. Hardly anyone around the pool which soon became obvious as to why because there was no entertainment or atmosphere at all and the lifeguards (fun police) wouldnt even allow you to throw a ball about let alone lay on a lilo. Meal times were alright from what we saw and you could get the basic all inclusive meals but the supposed "snack bar" during meals consisted of sliced bread, cheese and abit of salad. The receptionist was inviting but as far as staff went that was about it. There was a bar tender who was more interested in wether his t shirt was small enough to show his less than average muscles than he was cracking a smile or offering any sort of friendly gesture. The rooms were run down and out of date but served a purpose for the basics of sleeping. If you want a quiet weekend with no thrills at all then maybe this is the place, if youve got a family and you want some night life or entertainment/atmosphere then stay well clear
