Occidental Jandía Royal Level - Adults Only

Das Personal ist überaus freundliche und hilfsbereit.
Es ist ein sehr grosses Hotel in einer weitläufigen Anlage.
Falls die Möglichkeit besteht buchen sie UNBEDINGT Royal Level.
Es sind Welten zwischen dem "normalen" Hotel und dem Royal Level.
Zum Strand ist es ein ca. 10 Minuten Spaziergang...

Toller Service und wirklich freundliches Personal wirklich herausragend! Dann das wirklich sehr gute Essen. Die Sauberkeit der Umstand, dass zweimal am Tag gereinigt wurde, die Poolanlage mit beheizten Pools das Gesamtkonzept das gesamte Angebot, was das Spa betrifft, den Fitnessraum und auch die Nähe zum Strand war bei 15 Minuten Spaziergang überhaupt kein Problem. Alles in allem ein wirklich tolles Hotel mit wunderschönem Ausblick auf den Atlantik

Sehr schönes Hotel,gute Lage,ganz freundliche,aufmerksame und hilfsbeteite Personal.Das essen immer frisch und abwechlungsreich.Ein grosse Lobfür Galla Diner am Silvester,es war alles so professionel organisiert bis zu kleinsten Detail.

Good location on a hill above the beach , bit steep, the hotel and rooms are nice and clean , but some areas need a little attention like the broken tiles around the pool area etc. Food was excellent in the Royal level always hot unlike the cold food on offer in the other areas of this hotel. Staff were very good especially Mamadou in The Green bar, very friendly and polite. The entertainment this time was excellent with live shows every night but not always so in the past

Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich ausgestattet. Das große Bett war perfekt. Frühstück und Abendbuffet waren sehr gut.

Gutes Frühstücksbuffet … Aufpreis Royal Only zahlt sich wirklich aus … viel ruhiger und entspannter!!!

This was our second visit, and despite the overall experience was as good as last time, there are definitely a few areas for improvement.
Firstly the negatives …
The coffee/tea facilities in the room are very basic - a kettle, a few tea bags and 4 sachets of poor quality coffee. We had to ring reception on an almost daily basis to get the coffee and milk replenished, often having to call three or four times before some was brought to the room, and despite constantly asking for regular coffee we were still always brought decaffeinated! It would be a nice touch to put inexpensive coffee pod machines in each room. There is no reason why the mini bar shouldn’t be refilled every day for all inclusive guests, rather than just once at the start of the holiday, although to be fair you can easily bring drinks up to the room from the bar. Minor points but considering the cost of the holiday I would expect these things to be standard. There’s also a half an hour gap whereby both bars are closed on the Royal level, which again as all inclusive we would expect refreshments to be available at all times during the all inclusive period. The food in the buffet restaurant was fairly varied and mostly tasty, particularly the grill section where the chef cooks your choice of meat or fish in front of you. However the temperature of the hot holding food wasn’t great, more often than not lukewarm and a couple of times we found cooked items to be still frozen in the middle. Soup was always cold as heated underneath by a tea light which had usually gone out. The service was also quite slack, we often waited ages for drinks to be brought over and tables were left uncleared for long periods of time. This is more to do with not enough staff for the number of guests and not a reflection on the staff themselves. They were very friendly and working as hard as they could. The à la carte restaurant, however, was appalling, the last time we visited we ate there every night, but this time we went to the Mexican night and it was absolutely dreadful. We had the sharing platter which was just frozen tasteless deep fried things and some greasy chicken wings covered in a cold bbq sauce. For mains my partner had the burger which was simply a burger on a dry bun and I had the fajitas which were soggy, cold and unappetising, and on inspection contained just three bits of chicken, both accompanied by a small portion of limp tepid chips. The waitress agreed it was awful and apologised profusely saying the chef was new, I replied get the old one back!! We didn’t stay for dessert and cancelled our bookings for rest of the week. We also got an apology from the management, which was appreciated but we were very disappointed as we were looking forward to trying all the different cuisines on offer.
However there are a lot of positives!
The staff are all lovely, attentive and friendly. The pool area is very well maintained and always plenty of sun beds available despite most guests ignore the ‘do not reserve’ signs. They are also really comfortable and plenty of fresh clean towels every day. Very clean toilets by the pool also and a great bar! Room service was excellent with towels and sheets replaced every day should you request it. Cartons of fresh water left in the room every day. The air con was effective and the bed and pillows amongst the most comfortable we have slept on. Lovely hot shower with very good water pressure with an overhead tropical shower head and a smaller detachable one. We didn’t notice any outside noise as reported by other reviews on here, our room was on the corner of the second block on the second floor and had lovely views over the pool area with the sea beyond.
The hotel could do with a lick of paint and some modernisation but this didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment. I would recommend this hotel but for us a week was enough just based on choice of food and things to do, which we feel could become very repetitive after a few days. Again though big shout out to the staff, they really do work their socks off to make your stay a pleasant and enjoyable one.

The Occidental jandia playa is very very dated. Needs lots of investment. We stayed in the Royal Level. The room number was 109. It was very dated. The corridor outside was the noisiest I have ver experienced in a hotel. It was long and the floor tiled. So when the staff were pushing their trollies along at 7 am it sounded like thunder! Also the air con was one of the poorest I have ever experienced. We just used the ceiling fan.
On the plus side the food in the royal level restaurant was very good and the service was excellent. As for the a la carte restaurant don’t waste your time. The food is awful. We went to a Greek and Italian night. Both times the menu was poor and the food even worse.
Location wise the hotel is at the end of the main resort and takes about 20 mins to walk to shops and restaurants. At the bottom of the hotel there is a so called shopping mall. However it is derelict and devoid of any life.
Suffice to say we would not return to this hotel and suggest you give it a miss.

We said we would return after such a fantastic holiday in February and can honestly say we had a wonderful time again! This hotel is a little bit of paradise, perfect for you if you need peace and quiet

Ostalo je bilo uredu

Have stayed here before but this time was even better, the food was excellent with plenty of choice to suit any ones taste ,the staff where all very helpful and friendly,
The room was kept immaculate and we had fresh water and tea and coffee ,Milk etc. supplied daily. if you needed more you only had to ask..WIFI was rubbish but I believe they where having a new system installed so hopefully will be sorted when we return.

The royal level was amazing, i like to have quiet vacations and this was perfect.
Every day it was calm and relaxing with no many people around in the pool or in the dining area.
My room was on the bottom royal level and on the furthest corner so from my balcony I had a pleasant and close view of the jacuzzi pool which at the same time, allowed me some privacy.
The royal level gave access to the Spa which I used nearly everyday and it was an extra that added value to the overall experience.
The reception staff noticed that during my stay i had my birthday and sent to my room a bottle of Prosecco free of charge which it was a great surprise that I enjoyed.
I also enjoyed the italian and spanish dinner on the other restaurant which was elegant and quiet. This was also included on my half board. The reception staff was able to find a space for me even with a late booking. The food was delicious and the service very good.
The food in the dining area of royal level was also very good and had enough choices.
The beach is right passed a natural reserve so has wild birds and it looks stunning and relaxing. The beach is long and not busy at all. The walk on the beach is relaxing and offer stunning views. It is a natural and uncontaminated place altough it was windy.

Che dire un posto fantastico, accogliente Tornerei molto volentieri.

We stayed for my birthday after an absense of a year and were delighted to see improvements in and around the hotel. The quality and presentation of the food on offer in the Atlantico Buffet restaurant has improved vastly since last year. There was so much choice for all meals that sometimes we over indulged just to try everything. The staff, although some were new faces, were all pleasant and professional. Old members of staff greeted us like family. Star of the hotel is Marianna, Guest Relations Manager. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she goes above and beyond what you would expect.
We have already booked another visit for next year!!!!! Can't wait!!
