Nice hotel but needs updating

Feb 25 week away with friends
Lovely hotel. All areas very clean. Landscaping was great, lots of cacti. Massive choice of food for all meals although as others have said it is not very hot. There are microwaves dotted about so you can re-heat soup or porridge. The snack bar is good for lunch. We visited first week of February and found the pools a bit cool. Spa area is good and was very quiet. We paid 19 euros for 4 hours,no treatments. There is a lot of walking as the complex is very spread out, there are also lots of steps. We were in block 8, at the bottom of the property but closest to the gate. it's probably a very different 'vibe' in spring and summer, but was quiet when we were there, entertainment and bars all closed by 11.30pm. Entertainment a bit hit and miss. Check in was quite long even though we had completed a lot of it online prior to arrival. Reception staff were good with ordering taxis, sorting problems. Rooms were very clean, nice and big with sea view balconies. Showers/hot water excellent. There is a safe in the room (payable at reception) Pool towels require a 10 euro deposit per towel, the process is very long winded!. You pay cash at reception and get a plastic card, take the card to the towel man and get the towel. They are not exchanged everyday for clean/dry towels. When you leave, take the towel back to towel man, get your plastic card, take that and the paperwork (given to you originally at reception) back to reception and they give you the cash back.

Friendly, hardworking staff. Excellent facilities. Good choice of food

Overall it was a great experience here.
The hotel itself and it's garden is breathtaking, so is the view on the beach located around 5 minutes south of the building.

The food was good - always fresh fruits and live cooking included.

Two things were not as expected, once the drinks, we are huge cocktail fans and were sadly not able to find a good cocktail here, all of them come from a machine and are simply not drinkable.

For the room we chose one with sea view (+~50€), the view was amazing, sadly the rooms were not. On our day of arrival we were told that we could enter it at 15:00, until 15:20 the room was not ready - a guy with a bucket of painting colour came out and told us that it would be ready. - He freshly painted the wall... A disgusting smell was in the room for the following 2 days. The bath was a bit dirty and we had no blankets provided.

Overall I would come here again but definitely wouldn't choose all inclusive again since the drinks are not worth the price.

TL;DR
Good food, Bad cocktails, beautiful view and hotel, dirty room.

Would come here again but not choose all inclusive.

We spent a week at the Occidental Jandía Playa hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful, the rooms and the facilities were clean. The ocean beach is about a 10-15 minute walk away, where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas from 10am to 5pm for 5 euro/each. The food was varied, vegetarian/vegan dishes were easy to find (special thanks for the plant milks at breakfast

Although we had fun the entertainment was lacking. There isn’t much else around here, but you can walk to the beach and shops. My issue was with health and safety, we told reception that block 2 stairwell had no lighting, days ago, it is pitch black and three flights of stairs, it is a real hazard, especially for elderly people like us! It is still not fixed and needs to be done asap! Food is nice, rooms cleaned very well, lovely pools.
