Occidental Jandía Playa

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.

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

We stayed at this hotel for 15 days. The cleanliness is impeccable, our room was cleaned by Noemi, who was always extremely kind and thoughtful, making sure to clean while we were at breakfast, so we never had to wait. The staff are always very kind. We took advantage of the hotel spa twice for some exceptional massages! They asked us exactly what we wanted and recommended the most suitable massage for the second time (the bamboo massage). The masseuse, Dominika, was fantastic: very kind and highly skilled. She listened to my feedback and focused perfectly on all the right areas. The pain disappeared right after the massage session. Highly recommended to everyone!

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.

Been at this hotel for 4 nights now and so far the experience has been poor for the price paid and being a 4 star hotel, the hotel is in need of a refurb and some upgrades, start with the good points staff are really friendly and helpful and the location of the hotel is good only a short walk away from most things in the evenings they put up a couple of little cocktail bars which we found to be a nice touch . Now the bad, firstly we arrived and find out the spa isn’t included in the hotel so don’t be fooled when booking the spa isn’t an extra and then we arrived to the room, tv extremely dated, remotes don’t match the tv so when pushing buttons other options like teletext which I didn’t even know was still a thing was coming up and then the bugs all in the room, mini spiders crawling all over the side into snacks and so on so after calling reception they sent a cleaner with bug spray so after not being able to breathe for halve hour due to the bug spray we could finally go to bed. The bed mattress is hard (okay if you like this ) and the aircon isn’t very good. Drinking water isn’t amazing bottles aren’t accessible and fridge isn’t refilled with water, fridge is warm . The pool area and inside the pool is missing tiles or cracked everywhere causing some rust and moss on the liner in the pool water,no atmosphere around the pool very quiet and not engaging. The buffet food can be hit or miss it’s not anything to rush for just standard buffet food but what makes it worse is that majority of it is cold so you have to use the microwave near the pizza oven, the variety of food doesn’t really change the breakfast is always the same with some variety at lunch and dinner. Hotel shop not always open but there is a spar at the rear of the hotel. Would not stay here again unfortunately.
