Occidental Jandía Mar

My partner and l are currently staying here for the week . Wow this place is amazing , the views are stunning as you can see from the pics I have taken , the rooms are very spacious with a queen size bed i can roll over 3 times before i find the wife 😄 . The food is fantastic lots of choice plenty of selection areas and drink stations , cant fault it to be fair . Lots of staff for daily entertainment by the pool and the shows in the evening are of good quality . Also there is a sister hotel across the road with equal quality that is also available to use at your convenience. I will be back next year 👍

Well I spent last week there for a week all inclusive. And what a week food excellent staff amazing only thing is entertaining was 2 great nights outa 7 but well sun shone for us .one draw back 2 hour trip in the bus or bone shaker lol

My wife and I stayed from 20-27th November and had a great time. I was sceptical due to some of the reviews , but we were glad we went and would go again. We upgraded to Occidental plus on arrival . The room, addition of gym and spa facilities definitely enhanced our holiday. The gym consists of two elliptical machines, two exercise bikes, a running machine, weights and a station for pull ups etc. The spa has an heated indoor pull with jacuzzi , saunas and showers. Occidental plus also includes access to the Toscana restaurant which we only visited once . While the service was good in Toscana, it was initially confusing that even though we upgraded from all inclusive to occidental plus there was only one wine available on the menu we did not have to pay extra for. In addition to a buffet, Toscana has table service with a choice of three mains being brought to your table. I had the ribs, my wife had lamb and both were disappointing with very little meat. Due to the poor mains and less choice in the buffet my wife and I ate at the main buffet restaurant for the rest of our stay. We were very happy with main buffet restaurant. You wont like all the food but there was always plenty of choice so we were always able to find things we wanted and there was never any issue getting seats. Perhaps if the hotel had been busier I could see the point of Toscana, but my wife and I preferred the main buffet restaurant. I assume the time of year we went has something to do with it, but we never had any issues getting sun loungers in a good location. There was always plenty to spare and we enjoyed the aesthetics of the pool/sunbathing area. The bar service ends at 12 and costs money after 11 which was not ideal, but did not impact our enjoyment much. We would normally get a couple of drinks before 11 and that was enough for us considering we(I) normally started drinking early. We also enjoyed the entertainment each night varying from Tina Turner tribute acts, Mo Town, to the shows the animation team put on . We thought the animation team were great both in the shows they put on and their general friendly presence around the hotel. The service from all the staff was good. Reception, both upon leaving and arriving. When leaving we were unsure about our pick up time and the person on reception was able to find out for us, which was much appreciated. The cleaners, restaurant and bar staff all contributed to a great holiday. The bar staff remembered your drinks and were quick. However, the hotel ran out of several different occidental plus only beers I was drinking and they were not restocked. I've been on cruises were beer is restocked as soon as the ship reaches the next port so was surprised the hotel did not restock in an entire week. That being said there was still plenty of choice and unlike some reviewers I enjoyed the local beer that was available on self serve taps around the hotel as well as the wine, of which there was never any shortage. Overall it was a great way to spend our 10th wedding anniversary and we will be back.

This was a good hotel, however, the food was often cold and seemed to repeat itself every couple of days. The staff were very friendly and would go out of there way to help you. Hotel is a bit remote, we were only there for a week and so did not really matter to us. It had a shop that sold basics. It would have been nice to get to a few more shops, but was on a steep hill and since I am slightly disabled, it would have been very difficult for my husband to push me up and down in my wheelchair. The room was very nice and large. We had a stool in the bathroom to enable me to sit under the shower. All in all a great week, but, pleased that we did not do a fortnight.

This was our first holiday with our little one , we picked this hotel because we had been before quiet some years ago, it was ok then but were a bit worried as its a whole different holiday with a child. we found the hotel good tho the room was a bit of a trek but there were lifts and the view from the room was worth it. The maid service was great kept our room clean and tidy , which we greatly appreciated and even left a bottle of water in our room. The room was a good size and had a fridge which was handy. All the staff were friendly and always took time to say ola which my little girl loved. Entertainment was ok but we didnt get to see much as lo was tired. The food was ok always found something we liked. The hotels facilities were ok and it was always clean and well maintained, the pools were good , but stick to the top one for little ones as its heated , the other was very cold. We had no problem finding sun beds and luckily just caught the last of the sun before we went home. The only negative which is nothing to do with the Hotel but the transfer was 2 hours which was way to long for our little girl with no toilet on coach , if we come again we will probably get a taxi. Thank you for a great holiday.
