4 Star

Occidental Jandía Playa is an older hotel, but has a strategic location and great for a relaxing family stay.

However, guests may hear some noise from deliveries and garbage collection, which doesn't seem normal for a 4-star hotel. Some guests also mentioned a lack of privacy due to the balcony design. The food options may need improvement, but one positive aspect is that the hotel is in the Canary Islands, which should mean better local cheese options. Guests were also disappointed to learn that natural orange juice incurs an extra charge unless you are part of the adults-only program.
