Overall Ratings & Reviews Occidental Jandía Mar

There were cockroaches in the outside snack bar restaurant that was ugly to see. Getting to your room was a hassle as there were no lifts and loads of stairs.

Reservamos una habitación en MP con cama matrimonial, al llagar al hotel nos informaron que este tipo de cama no existen en el hotel, solo en las Suites. Nos dijeron que solucionarían el problema poniendo un toper con cremallera, pero solo pusieron una sabana doble, el problema nunca se arregló, nos compensaron con el todo incluido plus. Pero esto no solucionó el problema de la cama que ha sido una verdadera incomodidad. El personal de servicio de restaurantes y bares muy alegres y serviciales. La recepción del hotel un poco menos, supongo por la carga de trabajo...En general la comida esta buena sobretodo en el restaurante La Toscana. Lo demás normalito, las habitaciones necesitan una reforma urgente.

The food whilst a challenge to provide for so many people at once was ok but lacked attention. Meat cooked too much. Lack of flavour and the snack bar is just cheap processed food which could be a lot better prepared but as I say a good job for so many

OK but no internet in the room.

The hotel is rather big and spacious however the cleanliness is below average specially in the dining room. We booked a sea view room and got put in a room which had a large olive tree right in front of our window so the only view we had was a large amount of leaves _ took 3 days to move us to another room after daily battle (if you pay extra to have a sea view you would accept to see the sea !!!). Food was ok with a good selection of daily salads however dessert were exactly the same every meal so a bit disappointing. Drinks were as you would expect in an all inclusive. The most disappointing part was the cleanliness of the dining room _ dirty plates were constantly piling on all tables meaning on busy time it was hard to find a clean table to eat. We had couple of power cut as well as and no water for half a day meaning ... No toilet / no shower / no coffee at bkfst ... Pool was heated so a nice addition for our comfort through the day - only down side was the limited amount of shades around both pools as no umbrella available. A nice water slides just out of the hotel but as it was outside you had to constantly come back to the hotel bars if you wanted a drink - nice addition but not very convenient. Rooms were rather large with a good size bathroom. Friendly staff but felt there were a shortage of staff considering the hotel were full - waiting time for getting drinks were quite long specially in the evening. Overall a OK stay but won't come back or recommend to friends.

We had a great 6 night stay in a suite. Absolutely huge lounge area, bedroom and the biggest round bath ive ever seen! We had a wonderful wrap around balcony, again huge, with table chairs and 2 sunbeds. The food was varied and catered for all tastes and nationalities. The wholechotel was very clean, from rooms to all communal areas. We'd hired a car and parked just outside on the road which was easy. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 7 nights over Easter and had a fabulous experience. We had a big room with beautiful see views. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There was an excellent choice of foods with different themed nights. Fresh fish and meat were cooked daily. Good selection of wine too. We also used the Spa and had an excellent massage. The gym does not open until 10.00am so for those wanting to have a morning workout (before bfast) bear that in mind. The hotel is on a hill so lots of steps although lifts are available. A 10 minutes walk down a steep hill will take you to the beach and a small shopping centre. The hotel provides 2 daily buses to the beach and back. At the beach you will have to pay for sunbeds as they are not part of the hotel. €13.50 for 2 sunbeds and a parasol. There’s a small “chiringuito “ charging extortionate prices!! Fuerteventura can be a very windy island so if you’ve never been before be aware! We had a great time and will definitely go back!

We had an amazing stay! First time we used all inclusive and it was great! I will recommend this hotel to my friends and colleagues.

Very lovely stay, you get what you pay for. Well deserved title of a 4 star hotel. We were originally given a ground floor room however I upgraded as I am paranoid about the safety of ground floors and I paid an extra €80 for a sea view room and it was massive and the view was immense! Definitely recommend! Short walk to Burger King and the gorgeous beach although it’s a steep hill, takes around 5-10 mins and on some occasions we took a taxi which was around €3.50. Food and drink - just an average all inclusive. Just what you’d expect from a 4 star. Only problem I had with my stay is that I wanted to buy a photo that a photographer took of me and my boyfriend in the pool. But there was never anyone at the photo desk! We even left a note with our number on saying we wanted to buy a photo but no response. We asked reception a couple of times but they couldn’t help as it is a separate company. Apart from that, amazing stay and would definitely recommend. Would I stay again? Maybe, lovely hotel but location wise there’s not much going on.

Everything was nearly perfect apart from reception service- big queue all the time as people very slowly to sort guests issue out , very unhelpful . Hotel overall amazing same as food 😋

Great stay, nice facility and pool. The food was good and while we stayed a week additional variety would be great. Overall happy with our stay

Great stay. Excellent food, drink and facilities. A little far from the airport so make sure you organise this in advance but apart from that a fab stay! Would recommend. They also put on a great NYE Gala which was excellent.

Great Food choices. Lovely staff. Not the most modern of hotels but the beds are comfy and the rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean.

It is a good quality, large Barcelo network hotel, with an overall high standard. Fairly close (15 min walk ) to a gorgeous, wide , never crowded sandy beach, with ocean waves, clean water and lifeguards once upon a time. In a bit of a distance from Morro Jable centre, therefore far from the town centre nighttime parties noise. Excellent food. Large choice for every meal ( be it breakfast, lunch or dinner), very tasty and good quality. Several freshly prepared options, including meat, fish and vegetarian for every meal. Nice pools with pool bars for those wanting to spend time at the hotel. Evening time entertainment is fine for the enthusiasts of hotel parties. DRAWBACK(s): Evening/ night entertainment in the summer time ( we were in August) takes place on a free air stage, on the large hotel "patio", surrounded by hotel buildings. This is often EXTREMELY NOISY, lasting up UNTIL MIDNIGHT. That means that all of the hotel rooms facing the " patio", that is at least 2/3 of the hotel (!) are not able to find peace and quiet for half of the night! We were literally unable to hear each other talking aloud on the balcony at 23.30 one night! This is strange and difficult to understand. Hoteldisco ( every night after the official entertainment event) is outside on the same stage. It is IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP with the balcony door open. Overall we had a good holiday but only after we were allowed to change the room for the other end of the hotel, after 3 days of suffering the noise.

The room cleaning service was okay. Hard working staff NOT on the front desk.

The food was of a good standard and had plenty of choice. However, there were many flies and the food was uncovered. The hotel could seriously benefit from covering the food.

We love our stay in occidental Janda mar . Room was clean when we arrived. Hotel is in good location just 500m from the ocean and beautiful beach.

Heated pool was amazing, staff excellent, location was great (we were probably the only people happy to go up and down the big hill a few times a day, good exercise!). Food could have been a bit better but it was fresh and plentiful.

Shame the gym isn’t open before breakfast but i loved the fitness activities each day. Good location for the beautiful beach but a little far from the airport. Food not great but adequate.

A well maintained, well staffed resort with lots of things for kids to do. We had a great time. Rooms were modern and clean with a Spanish feel and cleaning staff were super helpful. Not on the beach but close enough (a ten min walk), I would suggest renting a car though because there are so many beautiful beaches to explore in Fuerteventura. The only thing I would say is that the food in the main hall was not the best I’ve had but that’s not even really a complaint, that subject to opinion.
