Overall Ratings & Reviews Occidental Jandía Playa

It was a birthday weekend for my husband and was very enjoyable. We particularly appreciated the gift the hotel delivered to our room for him.

A great stay in Fuerteventura

Good value stay. We drove down from the airport which was very easy. Great walks along the beach.

Friendly staff, great dinner options . Alot of facilities around hotel . Near by beach and shopping area . Amazing view . Very satisfied with my stay with children.

Nice hotel but needs updating

Lovely hotel. All areas very clean. Landscaping was great, lots of cacti. Massive choice of food for all meals although as others have said it is not very hot. There are microwaves dotted about so you can re-heat soup or porridge. The snack bar is good for lunch. We visited first week of February and found the pools a bit cool. Spa area is good and was very quiet. We paid 19 euros for 4 hours,no treatments. There is a lot of walking as the complex is very spread out, there are also lots of steps. We were in block 8, at the bottom of the property but closest to the gate. it's probably a very different 'vibe' in spring and summer, but was quiet when we were there, entertainment and bars all closed by 11.30pm. Entertainment a bit hit and miss. Check in was quite long even though we had completed a lot of it online prior to arrival. Reception staff were good with ordering taxis, sorting problems. Rooms were very clean, nice and big with sea view balconies. Showers/hot water excellent. There is a safe in the room (payable at reception) Pool towels require a 10 euro deposit per towel, the process is very long winded!. You pay cash at reception and get a plastic card, take the card to the towel man and get the towel. They are not exchanged everyday for clean/dry towels. When you leave, take the towel back to towel man, get your plastic card, take that and the paperwork (given to you originally at reception) back to reception and they give you the cash back.

Friendly, hardworking staff. Excellent facilities. Good choice of food

entertainment was not good at all

Great location, beautiful grounds. Everything was very well maintained, food was excellent and the activities and games each day were so much fun! Shout out to Nestor who was one of the activity staff with great energy and helped make each game we played enjoyable and funny!

Nice huge hotel with a nice view from Morro Jable Bay. A bit noisy as loads of activities on, so if you are a light sleeper, make sure to request a quieter room.

Food was good. Hotel was good if you wanted a swimming pool holiday although the 2 pools and loungers would not be enough for all the guests. The beach is large and sandy but is a long walk down hill from the hotel, you can walk through the hotel down to the beach and then use an elevator into a partly abandoned shopping area passed a under road tunnel used by drug addicts with their discards, graffiti youre not welcome with finger.

Good: Location View Not so good: Wifi slow and difficult to connect to Extra charge for safe Little variation in food Not enough sunbeds round pool - allowed people to reserve them with towels from early on Aircon a bit weak Gym equip needs a refurb

Beautiful setting, pools gorgeous, clean comfortable rooms. Food excellent and friendly staff. Entertainers put a lot of effort into the entertainment they provide. Would definitely come back to this hotel in travelling to the south of Fuerteventura again.

Would deffo go back - everything good and with half board included v good value. WiFi was hit and miss

Great hotel, close to a great beach.

Good beach front location, great staff.

Second visit after we walked out of sbh property at Costa calma,excellent as always,lovely warm heated pool for kids,good food and drink.book sea view room if available,excellent beach

This is our second time in the hotel. We love this place. Definitely coming back. The staff are amazing, kind , polite, friendly. The hotel is so clean.

The staff are mostly hostile and inefficient. The person who checked me in was not very welcoming or willing to help. I arrived in the hours of darkness and had to ask another member of staff where to find my room on the sprawling complex. Two female members of the restaurant staff one evening accused me of avoiding paying for a soft drink. I pointed out that they had no evidence of this and that the fault lay with them not clearing the table from previous guest use. I explained this to the restaurant manager who seemed uninterested and was unapologetic. My request for a high floor room was ignored and I was given the middle floor of a three storey building. the room however was lovely. Very spacious including the wardrobes. There was an easy to operate safe, large tv with BBC 1,2 and 4 and itv, the bathroom was showroom size with lots of space around the basin, bidet and bath that had a marble seating area beside. Sliding doors on balconies and stone tiled floors throughout, so some noise hazards if faced with inconsiderate neighbours! Balconies are not private as they have wooden lattices either side. A 1.5 litre bottle of water is provided each day of housekeeping. Two fans are in the room, a ceiling rotary and one in a sealed unit. Dinner in the restaurant had a superb selection of offerings whilst breakfast was fairly standard with hard overcooked bacon. Some pleasant and sociable chefs. On site there is a small gym and pools on two different levels.

You cannot go far wrong here. If you want heat, sun, a sun bed, good food without the fancy fanfare you cannot go wrong here. This is our 7th time at the hotel. Now.. nothings changed but it needs to. Not going overboard but simple refinements are needed, comfy sofas, strict rules on where to smoke, better lighting of a night time & acoustic panels in the dining hall to lessen the noise. The sister hotel the ‘Mar’ up the hill has been really spruced up and the outside music arena and bar looked perfect. The theatre here was a bit of a misfit it’s too low in ceiling height & should be outside. There should be a better way of disposing of cups & the rooms UK tv stations could be increased as it’s nice to relax in your room. The hotel is nothing extraordinary but it’s like your slippers or favourite jumper.. comfy.. well worn.. not fashionable.. and one you can have no issue staying at. The area is awful! The beautiful crystal blue sea and power sands.. ohh you will but don’t come as I don’t want to see it populated too much more! …. Jandia the canaries hidden secret!
