Labranda VIP Villas
Caleta De Fuste, Fuerteventura

Mrs N Shipwright, Purfleet

Stayed in the lovely VIP villa 3, very well equipped, clean and spacious. Pool was not overlooked and had shelter from the wind. All the doors in villa 3 were internal as I know some villas had only outside doors. Maid came every other day. Would definitely recommend!

Mrs D Smith, Birmingham

Beautiful place with lots of room and well equipped. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Maid came to clean every 2 days. Had a large fridge/freezer and a washing machine, also had a safe which was great, everything you need was there. Pool clean but very cold.

Mr K Lamb, Ilfracombe

Very clean, villa needs updating. All inclusive food was awful apart from breakfast so we ended up spending more money eating out and the entertainment was poor. We enjoyed our holiday by going out or staying around our villa, it wouldn't take much to put right.

Mr D Clitheroe, Prescot

This was the 4th time at the VIP Villas. Generally happy with the Villa as the decor is as we expect having been there before.

We stayed in Villa 9 (named Lanzarote) and this is ideally situated to take advantage of the main pool. It is also however located directly next door to the storage area used for the laundered towels and sheets and there is a delivery van that tended to arrive at around 6-7am each morning to deliver the new towels and sheets. The wagon for this parks directly outside and doesn't switch off his engine. It is also located across the road from the glass bottles bin and general waste bins (which are located in an enclosed building). These were changed regularly at around 3am and again as located directly facing these, this did often wake us.

These issues hadn't affected us before as we had been in the VIP villas located further down towards the town. It was however in a good spot for the shops.
We'll be going back but hope we are given a villa a bit further away from these disturbances.

Miss D Noble, Lincoln

Home from home, fully equipped for all your needs. Very clean, pool lovely, staff always helpful. Ideal for a family break close to town.

Mrs T Thomas, Cardiff

We had a great time, any problems were sorted within minutes. Villa was roomy and clean, had every thing you need. Great location, plenty of bars and restaurants around.

Would go back.

Ms M Thomas, Cardiff

The Villa was lovely, although could do will a little updating, very spacious. Cleaner came in twice a week and changed over the towels. We went A/I food was very poor, not a great deal of choice, deserts were the same for most of the week, had to walk around looking for a table or wait every day. Would go back but not all inclusive.

The location was fantastic, just a short walk into the town centre, beach and local markets.
Evening entertainment was more for families with small children. But plenty of bars and entertainment in the centre which was just a short stroll from the villa. Staff were very friendly.

Mrs R O'sullivan, Worksop

The villas where falling apart in a lot of areas, been going here since 2003 and they have gone down hill, 4 sockets hanging of the walls, old furniture, broken sunbeds, water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom into the downstairs jacuzzi so this we couldn't use. Had to report all this and wait for maintenance to fix some of the issues, also we always had our pool cleaned 3 x per week this wasn't done at all only pool topped up, gardens were full of weeds. Very disappointed as I've said been going here for years, won't be going again unless work is carried out on them.

Mrs W Hough, Bury

This is the 2nd time we've stayed in VIP Villas, they're basic but perfect for our needs. The cleaners were fantastic, we had our beds and towels changed every other day.

Mrs N Mitton, Halifax

Villa 6 negatives first..
Very tired and run down, kitchen had burn marks on the unit side, toaster didn't work. Electrics kept tripping in the night and even though contacted reception was told nothing can be done until morning, meaning all food in fridge/freezer went off! Downstairs pool table room very smelly. Could see why; mouldy/damp doors (its open plan down spiral staircase so obvs gets wet at times; downstairs jaccuzi bath takes forever to fill because of very slow water pressure - if using it be prepared to wait a good couple of hours running water as it needs to be full for jets to work and by this time water is freezing! The villa has speaker systems allowing you to connect ipod/mobile to it but it didn't work, very faint noise coming out. The outside washing machine, well what can I say! It had a huge hole in the top like had been punched in, didn't rinse clothes and always leaked and left loads of water inside washer. The TV in living room was a further 30 euros a week if wanted to watch (we didn't bother, after all who needs TV on holiday). The outside BBQ was in very dirty condition, we used it after scrubbing with brillos and some elbow grease. Got rudely woken up and quite abruptly at 01.45am by 3 security men banging on doors insisting we all go out of bedrooms all to tell us we had left the kitchen door open! Was quite scary as thought was police - they grabbed my 14 year olds arm all because he had wrapped himself in a blanket as was only wearing boxer shorts under and they insisted he drop the blanket. Was not happy at all, very very rude men! The villa has all external doors meaning have to leave bedroom to visit bathroom and go outside in the night. Quite scary after that with the security men episode (felt like was been watched). The rooms have no air con nor fans and was at times unbearable to sleep even with windows open (which didn't feel very safe doing).

Positives. Large open plan villa, cleaners came very regular and changed bedding towels and swept/mopped up and did a fantastic job. Ants are everywhere, try not to leave any food anywhere, they will swarm it. Swimming pool very clean, got cleaned everyday and water topped up every few days. Cold water but welcoming after being in belting sun of 30c plus. Decent size pool all 5 of us able to get in and mess about. Spacious terrace and enough sun loungers.

Location fab. This villa is set at bottom of huge complex. All bungalows are set around 3 different swimming pools. We wouldn't have wanted to be at the top of the hill as its a trek from town uphill in the heat however bonus as only gained 3lb in 10 days off eating and drinking whatever I liked! We were self catering so couldn't comment on the all inclusive food. But what I could gather would have been an unpleasant experience as too many to cater for in a small area. Visited evening entertainment once, Ok for young kids that's it! Mini disco then a tape recording of 80s.

If already booked villas then just don't go with high expectations. We knew what would be getting after reading reviews, overall its what you make it!

Overall for what we payed for the holiday the villa was poor. Now I am back in UK looking to go back to Calete de Fuste in private villas you can get so much more modern accommodation for same or less money!

Mr J Street, Lincoln

Very spacious, well maintained by staff and perfect for a family of 5. Will definitely try and book next year!!

Mrs L Morrissey, Berwick-upon-tweed

This is the second time staying in villa number 12, have just returned from one week visit, the villa has three bedrooms so was good for two couples and my mum had her own room. The rooms are separate from the lounge/dining room and kitchen so you have to go outside to reach the bathroom which isn't the best during the night. This isn't a great hardship as overall this is a great location.

The villas are located in a peaceful area on the hill above the main resort of Caleta De Fuste. Its a two minute walk to the market on Tuesdays and Saturdays and a further 5 minute stroll to the centre. Large supermarket located just across the road is very handy too as is local bars and eating places. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the room cleaned and linen changed every other day. Great pool for cooling down after hot sun and the jacuzzi is an added bonus especially if you want to heat up after using cold pool. Will definitely return for a further holiday as good value for money.

Mr E Kilday, Letchworth Garden City

Private and great accommodation.

Miss L Martin, Nr Alford

Clean with plenty of room.

Mr S Dybell, Telford

The Villas themselves were ok and clean, although they could do with a little updating but ideal for a large family although the fact that the all the rooms including the bedrooms are off the patio area and external which meant every single door had to be locked when leaving the villa and then at night having to come out across the patio to the bathroom isn't a great feature. The Hotel facilities were very tired and a little run down so was glad that we had our own pool as didn't fancy sitting round the hotel pool. Food was ok and there was enough choice to put a meal together although the dining room was like a works canteen and also very tired. The villas ok but wouldn't stay at the hotel resort itself again.

Mrs J Dybell, Telford

The villas are kept clean and tidy by the cleaning staff and we really enjoyed staying there. The pool was larger than we expected and the villa was very well equipped. We stayed All Inclusive using the Hotel Dorado for meals. The hotel is in need of refurbishment and is run down and very under staffed. Would stay in the villas again but would not use hotel facilities again.

Ms H Davidson, Dundee

We found the layout of the rooms a bit odd to begin with however the downstairs games room was perfect when it got too hot in the bedrooms. All five of us slept down there a couple of nights. The villa was clean with ample towels. Pool was cleaned regularly. BBQ was a bit old and tatty however we wouldn't have used it anyway. A bit of a hike returning from shops, beach etc however taxis are available and really cheap. Overall adults and kids all loved the Villa and will definitely return.
