    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    This hillside hotel has two pools and ocean views. Plus Jandia’s sandy beach is just a 15-minute walk away.

    On a hill, just above a long stretch of golden sand, the Occidental Jandia Playa - previously known as Barcelo Jandia Playa - gets great views across the Atlantic. It’s got plenty of other plus points, too, including pools, bars and restaurants.

    The hotel puts you within easy reach of the shops, bars and restaurants in Jandia, as well as the traditional old town of Morro Jable. Both spots are about 10 minutes away by taxi.

    Excellent holiday, highly recommend. Will definitely visit again and again. Just sad it ended so soon, would loved to have stayed longer. Very comfortable beds and excellent choice of food and drinks.
    Not 4 Star. Sadly Disappointing. NOT Recommended.

    Our first hotel stay in Fuerteventura was at the Occidental Jandia Playa. It was not that good, shabby, tired, and more like a 3 star, which is surprising as it’s part of the usually good Barcelo chain. Check in was bad. A 20 minute wait and then average, rushed service. No bell boy service and beds were configured wrongly when in the room. We waited an hour for our safe to be opened too. Food was nice, although we only stayed 2 nights and on 2 occasions the only hot meat was pork and liver, so not a great choice if you stay for a week or more. It must cater more for German taste. The lady in the pool bar was excellent, decent measures and very friendly and efficient. The table clearing staff were fine, not overly friendly or attentive though. Coffee machines were all turned off except 2 bang on 10am closing. Overall, it was not good value for money, rooms are tired, check in was bad, food average and the same each day, drinks fine and location not central. NOT RECOMMENDED.

    It was the second time we came back on this island. In general, everything was fine, it is maybe just me, I expected something more and better. The hotel is not very well located (regarding my needs and preferences and previous experience). The beach is not such close and the surrounding is nearly dead. If you wanted to see other restaurants, shops, beaches, you needed to take a taxi (which are cheap but most of the time Spanish speaking). I expected a newly refurbished family room following the advertised pictures while booking. Instead we got a decent but old-fashioned one. Well OK, the beds are very comfortable and the rooms were good located regarding our needs. We had some issues regarding the all-inclusive: Our check in happened after whole day travelling at 11 pm, so no possible to get anything for drink because the all in service ends at 11pm. One day we did a whole day excursion and asked whether is possible to take something to eat with us (we have 3 little kids under 6). It has made such a fuzz that it is not allowed, I understand for hygienic reasons, so we had to sign a document regarding this incident. During the whole sojourn, no bit personal contact with nobody of the personnel because of the huge number of clients. Everything is like huge working machine, so impersonal. What was surprisingly very positive were the pools. It was always possible to find transats. On the other hand, the only heated pool, easily accessible for kids were part of the day occupied by entertaining activities and very loud music. The last day, we were leaving very early, but again, no possibility to get a snack back to take away. We have been told, the restaurant will be open for an early breakfast. It was, but the kids wanted sleep and not eat of course at 5:30 am. No help for luggage to get them from the room to the reception as the bell-boy worked only from 10 am to 6 pm. Honestly, it wasn't bad, I just expected it a bit different. Probably I didn't focused enough on our needs while looking for the place.

    Just a holiday away to relax and chill. Lovely walks along the front. Lovely room and views. Loved the seaview terrace and the staff were amazing. Nothing else we can say but brilliant and will definitely be back
    Where's the entertainment???

    We arrived here yesterday and although it is a lovely hotel, the rooms are average, cracked floor tiles, chipped paintwork, dirty fridge and the TV doesn't work.There doesn't seem to be any entertainment in the evenings, which is not what was sold to us. Very disappointed.
