Occidental Jandía Playa

Just returned from a fantastic stay at the Occidental Jandia Playa, Views from the Deluxe Sea View balcony were amazing, Sunrise to Sunset. They rooms were kept immaculate daily by friendly and helpful staff, the whole hotel and grounds were in pristine condition throughout the stay. Dinner was fresh, tasty and presented beautifully, the service staff were all polite, friendly and helpful, greeting us at every meal with a genuine smile and warmth. The snack bar area was a welcome retreat between the beach and the restaurant. The pool excersise staff were so full of joy and energy we couldn't help but smile even when not taking part. The beach was stunning and the town fairly close by. Our stay was so entertaining, pleasant and relaxing that we didn't even need to take our free spa days. Couldn't of wished for a better stay. The only down side was we couldn't stay longer. Thankyou to you all for your discreet hard work it made for an amazing stay that left us saying WOW!!! Muchas Gracias

Great stay with minor room for improvement regarding maintenance ​ ​We overall enjoyed our stay at the Occidental Jandia Playa. It is a solid choice for a holiday in Fuerteventura, though there are a few small details that prevent a full 5-star rating. ​Dining (Half Board): The food was good and offered a nice variety throughout our stay. As expected in a popular resort, the dining hall gets quite busy and loud during peak times, but the quality of the meals was consistently good. ​Location & Facilities: The location is excellent, very close to the beautiful beach. The pool areas are lovely and well-maintained—a huge plus is that one of the pools is heated, which made swimming very comfortable. ​Entertainment & Activities: There is plenty to do: the hotel offers an arcade, billiard tables, a tennis court, and table tennis. The kids' animation program also provides good entertainment for families. ​Fitness Center: The gym itself is actually well-equipped. However, we were disappointed to find that half of the cardio machines were out of order during our entire stay. For a 4-star hotel, equipment should be kept in better working condition. ​Verdict: We had a lovely time, but due to minor issues with maintenance and equipment, we feel a 4-star rating is more accurate than 5. There is definitely some room for improvement in terms of upkeep, but we would still recommend it for the great location and pool area.

Great stay, 10 days in the premium level AI. Great drinks package made even more memorable by the best bar tender and cocktail maker Mohammed, he was a legend. Food was pretty good all round, as always gets a bit tired towards the end. 1st world problems. The maid Carmen kept our room nice and clean and was a pleasure to talk too, lovely lady. Some of the bar staff by reception were a little rude and uninterested in customers which is a shame, most were good like Marc and I think Hanza. The only other grumble would be the volume of the music round the pool which is probably an individual preference anyway. One of the "animation team was a bit much, take the bloody microphone of her please. It's a of a walk up and down to the beach but it helps with the holiday weight. If you're fit climb Pico de la Zazara at the rear of the hotel great view and worth the sweating. Will come back.

(I would like to add that I’ve dropped service to a 1 star on the last day as a member of staff has stolen my headphones) If you are planning to stay in the morro jable area, please avoid this hotel. A large majority of the staff have absolutely no understanding of English, when we arrived late due to the flight being delayed we were greeted and immediately had to spend over half an hour telling the front desk we didn’t want all inclusive. The hotel room keys are shocking within 5 nights, I’ve had to get them replaced 6 times. All and all an absolute headache and would be much better attending the SBH hotel nearby. Although I would like to add the cleaning staff are top class.

Nice room, nice resort. A little more available information for what's available for guests would of been nice. (Eventually we discovered a touch screen tv that had stuff on) The only real thing for us was, while food was normal for "all-inclusive guests " we often found it was either cold or lukewarm at best. On a plus the staff were brilliant
