Labranda Targa Club Aquapark

"This was one of the best hotels ive ever been too the food was good but the entertainment group was amazing! Especially Ghita she was lovely and very friendly and always made me feel welcome. She was so good with the kids always got us involved in the games and activities during the day and on the night. 10/10 recommend !"

"We had a good holiday with many positives, with which I will start. But there are some pitfulls to be aware of... Travelled en famille, two children (11 & 8). Pool area was good and water slides kept everyone entertained. Family room was wonderful - spacious and clean. Staff were lovely - super helpful and friendly. Spa was fantastic - husband had two wonderful massages and enjoyed the spa facilities after. Breakfast was great - lots of choice and freshly made food (pancakes, omlettes). Desert trip was fabulous - we did an afternoon of camel ride, quand bikes and an evening meal with entertainment which was brilliantly organised and a lot of fun for all of us. Some aspects that could be improved, and for other travellers to be aware of... We had a pool view room - fantastic location right next to the pool, which was extremely convenient during the day. However, we were not aware that the entertainment area is next to the pool and music goes on until 11pm EVERY night, and it is loud - some nights with the addition of microphone use. Luckily I took some earplugs which blocked out some noise but in all honesty it was quite a big problem for all of us. Waterslides closed between 12.30 & 2.30 each day. This gave us a forced break to get the kids to lunch but seemed a little strange in an advertised "aqua park". Pool water was a bit chilly - I know this is no one's fault but something to be aware of if travelling with small children as the water was only around 22 degrees. At around 5pm the pool staff started coming round packing up and collapsing sun parasols, even when we were sitting under them. Definitely felt like we were being hurried to finish our day by the pool. Full entertainment programme - we didn't really participate except in some of the evening bits like the mini disco. The programme was posted each day and we found it very disappointing when it advertised a karoke night and a Halloween party that never materialised - the kids had been really looking forward to both. Food was very average - breakfast was great (as stated above) but lunch & dinner were mediocre. Great fresh pizza and pasta station, which the kids lived off - very long queues. Ice cream - not a biggie but there was none! Not for dessert, not during the day. We were surprised by this as have been to all inclusive hotels before and always had ice cream pretty much on tap. We bought a couple from the hotel shop in the end. All in all we had a good holiday, I just feel that I would like to have had some advanced warning on some of the points above in order to manage expectations! The pool view room and noise levels being the main thing."

"We had a good holiday here and there is lots to be positive about. The outside space is great. Fab pools, grounds looked after beautifully. The entertainment team work so hard all day to keep things lively, they are warm and friendly and never pushy. We really enjoyed hanging out by the pool. However the evening entertainment is pretty dire. The food is fine, either try the local cuisine (lots of choice) or accept its fresh pizza or pasta for every meal - just avoid the a la carte which has no ‘carte’ and was SO disappointing. Breakfast chefs a definite highlight! No issues with the drinks or the staff - some might not be the friendliest but most were absolutely charming. The terrace outside is ok but the inside bars are really soulless. Not an inviting space to hang out in so we tended to eat later then head back to our room. The bedrooms are underwhelming but to be honest we only spent a few waking hours each day in our room so it was adequate. Housekeeping was excellent - even on the day when we were all asleep after lunch and they crept in and cleaned like ninjas! We booked a trip with the hotel - it was pretty dreadful. We made the most of it but if you book trips I recommend you use ‘Get your guide’ or ‘TripAdvisor’. The spa is lovely. We both enjoyed a massage but it was slightly disconcerting when the masseuse came back in while I was getting dressed and reset the same towels for the next client….i daren’t think how many had those towels on them before me.. Would I come back here? No. But as long as you know what to expect and keep an open mind you won’t have a bad time here."
