Lemon & Soul Cactus Garden

Pros: Room was huge, modern & clean. Hotel kept well. Staff friendly. Rooftop terrace has nice views and has a jacuzzi which is lovely. However the bar was not open on the roof terrace once. So you have to go down from floor 9 to 1 to get a drink. Hotel is near to a beautiful beach (5 min walk)! White sand and clear waters. If you keep walking down the beach to the right for about 10 minutes you will find Jandia town which has lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. Very nice to sit and have a meal overlooking the sea. Cons: Downstairs pool was busy, lots of noisy music playing constantly and queues at pool bar. This atmosphere would suit some people but it didn’t us, so we avoided this area. We preferred the rooftop terrace for sunbathing as it was quieter. Drinks always given in small plastic cups which we weren’t keen on, it didn’t make it feel very special having a cocktail in a small plastic cup! The buffet food was adequate but we decided to eat out on most evenings and some lunches as we became bored of the selection of food / buffet atmosphere. We were given time slots for the buffet too (due to COVID-19, understandably the hotel didn’t want too many guests in the buffet at once). But due to this we got hungry waiting for our slots! So if you wanted food outside of your time slot for dining there was not much available. You could get water from the bar in a cup, if it was open, if not you had to buy bottled water behind reception. We found this odd as surely water should be included in an ‘all-inclusive’ stay? Another downside for us was checking out. We asked reception if we could pay for a late check out as our flight was at 8pm, and we were told no late check out was available. We were also told we were not allowed to have lunch as check out is 11am. An hour or so later, we went back to reception to buy (more water) (which should be free) and we overheard another guest in front of us, being given a FREE late check out until 5pm. ??? Overall we had a nice weeks break in Jandia, but we preferred going out of the hotel than staying in the hotel. If we went to this area again (which is beautiful) we would choose a b&b option, and would choose a different hotel.

First impressions were of a clean well run establishment. The hotel is well situated within Jandia for shops and bars. The beach is approx 250 meters away. Check-in was quick and simple. We were very pleased to be given an upgrade to a junior suite. The suite was clean and airy with modern fixtures and fittings. The balcony overlooked the pool, with a sea view. The only slight drawback was no drawer space. The staff were great throughout the hotel. From housekeeping to the bar and waiter service, they were friendly and helpful. Food was of a good standard with plenty of choice at all meals. (Agree with some reviews that the wine was not great, but still perfectly drinkable with the addition of a little lemonade) The public areas were well maintained with plenty of sunbeds to go round. We were there as the Coronavirus lockdown tightened and the staff and the hotel management were brilliant at dealing with a very difficult situation. They explained to guests what was happening and why, which resulted in it not having too negative an effect on the rest of our holiday.(From a personal point of view that is.) We are very much looking forward to going back once everything is back to normality,

Hi My wife and I always go to fuerty in January for a few weeks,we usually stay at Sol Jandia Mar hotel but because of a revamp jet2 offered this hotel. We had a nice room on 7th floor 710 with good views but with this room leading off outside staircase we did find this room cold in the evenings we did ask at the reception if heating could be put on,they said no. Overall we enjoyed our stay we meet up with some great people in the bar at the evenings,great crack/fun. One we thought was the space is wasted at the reception and could be used for the very small bar outside the restaurant,maybe a bit remodeling,plus very small toilets near bar. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel we head for the beach most days,the pool area looks small and will be growded in main season i would think,roof terrces are great and mostly quiet,top terrace has a bar. The staff are great work very hard,the two girls when on the bar are very quick at serving you,guys much slower. The restaurant is more like a cafe really but its clean and tidy,free flowing beers and wines,tea coffee machines,,shortage of larger beers glasses so hang onto one if you get one. The food was okay we always found something nice,freshly cooked,good selection and well presented,I enjoyed the red wine. Would we return yes I think we would,very relaxing place,but get out and walk beautiful beach,,,,,Best wishes the Geordies .
