Occidental Jandia Mar

I am currently staying at the hotel and I can honestly say reading some of the reviews that I must be at a different hotel! The staff are really good, the animation team are fantastic and are always on the go, yes it is correct there is only one member of staff at the bars but we have only had to wait a few minutes at the most, mostly just walked straight up, plus if you drink beer or wine you help yourself, the food is always nice and the dining area is always cleaned and the tables always set nicely with clean glasses etc. The pool area is always clean and good amount of quality sun loungers. All the staff are doing a fantastic job and we cant wait to celebrate my girlfriends birthday tomorrow. Keep up the good work! A Fantastic hotel.

Really nice Christmas break with the family. Weather was very good and having been to the island before, the wind was far less in the south. Plenty of daytime activity for grown ups as well as the children. Night time entertainment was also good either in the Piano Bar or watching a show. Good selection of food with something for everyone, although a lot of repetition. Christmas dinner was a bit of a let down with two sittings and not much atmosphere! Rooms were of a nice size with clean, large beds, TV and tea and coffee making facilities along with a fridge. The bathroom had a bath with a shower over. Nice view of the pool and in the distance the sea. The only downside was the steep hill from the hotel to the main road/walking are into the town, which was a flat walk all the way to a small but well stocked market. On route there was plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. There is a bus service to the market, but the walk was nice it was the steep hill that did us in. We were also amazed to see chipmunks under the decking at the beach. Would definitely go back to this hotel.
