Labranda hotels & Resorts Stays in Gran Canaria

Very clean and nice, large rooms. Only the condition of the balcony (very old and not very appealing) makes me deduct a point for the amenities. Good service, a bit out of the way for my destination, the Yumbo Center, but with good bus/taxi connections and plenty of restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center, 10 minutes from a beach area with many restaurants and shops. It has a large, clean lobby and a rooftop area with umbrellas, chairs, and loungers. On the rooftop, there are two small warm-water pools, a bar, a tanning area, showers, and bathrooms. The food selection is very wide and good, but it varies greatly depending on the style of the place, so if you're looking for something similar to Italian cuisine and/or healthy, you'll have to give it a bit of a miss. I mean, the food is good and varied, but it tends to be highly processed and therefore heavy on sauces, spices, and oil, which limits the choice for those who prefer simple dishes. The rooms are nice and clean, and due to a problem with the shower glass, a technician came to fix it within a few hours. The selection of drinks at the bar can be interesting for those who drink alcohol, which costs more than soft drinks. The soft drinks, in fact, are mostly juices and mixes with supermarket items. Let me explain: the cocktails are good, but the juice is made with tea powder or is the low-cost kind. If you're expecting juices or drinks with fruit in them, you won't find them. Breakfast, on the other hand, is very varied and can satisfy your needs in a healthier way than lunch and dinner. Even here, however, the juices and hot drinks are powders mixed with water. The coffee is good, but it's not coffee like it's made in Italy...
