I stayed in this hotel last year and it was a great holiday. Good for a basic lazy, sun lounging, food and drink filled holiday. Yes the hotel is on a hill but thats what gives the sea view. Good shops outside the hotel and more than enough food with access to both hotels... more

Excellent
from A TripAdvisor Member
We stayed at the Barcelo Jandia Playa in mid February 2007 and with the exception of the weather,enjoyed it very much. Good points: Four fabulous swimming pools, one heated Outdoor jacuzzi Great views of the ocean Spa (highly recommended) with free indoor jacuzzi and sauna for over 18's Good sized rooms, well looked after - the hotel is only one year old Food very varied, well prepared, including lots of meats, fish, veggie, kids and diet options. We only paid half board but were never charged for any extra food we had or drinks, except for after 11pm as was everyone else. However I think the majority of people there were all inclusive, so it probably wasn't worth the effort for them to charge us! Disco, piano bar and entertainment room plus plenty of sofas dotted around the hotel in quieter areas Lots of free activities during the day Not so good points: A very quiet resort, although we did go early in the season, and there were plenty of bars etc that were empty - so may be better peak season. The south of the island is deemed the german end, but we actually found it much cleaner and less tacky than the Corralejo areas. You need to be out of your room for midday with no option of paying to extend that. Even though the food was excellent, we did actually start to get bored of eating in the same place by the end of the week. Tips: Take good walking shoes - it's about fifteen minutes walk to the main shops etc although taxi's are pretty cheap and easily arranged at reception Have a good walk around all of the hotel areas, it is a very large complex and we didn't discover the outdoor jacuzzi and heated pool until fifteen minutes before we left for the airport. Maybe we should have gone to the welcome meeting after all! If you hire a car - one day is sufficient to explore the island. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the far north. Would recommend visiting the sand dunes near Corralejo, travelling the mountain road to Betancuria and chilling on the surfers beach near El Castillo but not much else to see.
Fantastic Place
from TheresaSurreyEngland
Went to this hotel in October 2005 mixed age group of 7, we had an excellent time, in fact we enjoyed it so much that my husband and i are going back on our own on 12 of feb this year to give it another go!! I dont know why anyone would be dissapointed with this hotel. I would recommend it to all age groups, lots to do and friendly staff!!!!
Very good
from A TripAdvisor Member
Stayed in this hotel jan 11 to jan 18 year 2006. Travelled from Sweden (therefor not the best english, sorry). I read the reviews here before we we took of and had not so big expectations. We went All Included, me and my wife and our two kids, one soon turning 2 years and the other 4 years old. The check in was very smooth and we carried the bags to our rooms ourselfes. The room was ok. The four of us had a place to rest. The cleaning of the rooms were good. The buffet-restaurant was all perfect. So much to choose from at both, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We all could find something to eat. The service were good during meals. One thing I noticed was that after dinner many people (like myself) likes to take a cup of coffee or tea and most of these people goes to the nearest bar (called Piano-bar). Therefor it could take maybe 10-15 minutes to get your order during the busiest hour. The "snack bar" had magnificent food for just taking a snack. Perfect for the kids. Hamburgers, fried potatoes, meat, bread, fish and vegetables. For us it was a perfect vacation. Nothing to complain about. If I must find something not 100% perfect then I must say the sound from the TV in the room. When there was a good song coming up on MTV and you turned the volume up a bit there were almost no bass in the speakers.
The Hotel from Hell
from jpiernicki
My family and I have just returned from a 7 night All Inclusive holiday at the Jandia Playa with First Choice Premier. I paid £3,600.00 for myself my wife, son, Daughter and two grandchildren for my wifes 50th Birthday celebrations. I choose the playa because it was AI and the brochure promised so much that we couldn't fail to have an exciting holiday. Put into block 8 down at the bottom. The room for my daughter only had two beds, despite booking a three bedroom for her. Our bags, which they insisted they would deliver to our rooms took 45 minutes to arrive. There was no instruction on how to use the dining room. We struggled to find a table for six, and when we did it was with those low wicker chairs, try that with an 8 and 9 year old. The food very rarely changed each day. Breakfast was a farce when ever you wanted to eat. They had insufficient staff on duty, tables were only cleared on demand. The bar staff were next to useless, they would take your order then go and talk to their friends. The all day pizza bar was closed for the last 4 days which meant there were no snacks for the boys. I didn't realise that by leaving your small change in the ashtray the maid accepted thjat as a tip, first hotel where this has happened to me. None of the pools were heated, yet the brochure stated that there was a heated pool. We confirmed this with the rep, we filled in three pages of complaints to her and intend following this up with a letter to first choice. TV is great if you are German or Spanish, even the eurosport channel had english commentary and german adverts. For the last two nights most of the pathway and steps lighting were not working. The kids entertainment in the evening was only 15 minutes long (8:30 - 8:45) then there was a gap until 10:00 for the evenings entertainment. The disco never opened, the shopping mall is still being built. 20 minutes walk to Jandia, 45 minute drive to Macdonald's (yes we found it). The staff never came round clearing away empty glasses, even the next morning. I would say, and did so on the holiday questionaire that this hotel did not really 3 stars let alone 4. If you want to know what a 4 star hotel should be like I recommend the San Marino in Cala D'or Mallorca. That is where I am going next time. Thank you Bacelo for ruining what should have been a relaxing wonderful time.
Something for all tastes
from A TripAdvisor Member
Nice room (Premier Club), shame about the place! Guess it suits some holidaymakers but for me some aspects of the hotel were satisfactory and some (again for me) were disappointing. Reception left something to be desired for English speaking people but the hotel staff in general worked extremely hard and remained pleasant even during the most trying conditions. Dining room (or should I say canteen!) was a logistical nightmare. Badly designed with the food bar at one end of a large room which meant that there was a constant flow of diners walking in two directions along a not very wide corridoor. There is however an option to dine in a separate 'Themed' restaurant for which there was an additional charge.
Great holiday
from A TripAdvisor Member
We have just spent 2 weeks at this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were helpful, our room was clean and the food was excellent. It's worth knowing that when you get a table for your evening meal, you order your drinks and leave them on the table before you go to collect your food. This indicates to others that the table is taken. If you don't do this your table will have gone by the time you return with your meal. Again, with breakfast, if you collect your fruit juice and leave it on the table while you get your breakfast, this is an indication that the table is taken. The dining room is large and busy and can seem quite daunting until you get used to the system. There are quite a few stairs to tackle on the walk from the hotel down to the beach - the lifts were out of action while we were there. It is worth making the trip (about a 45 minute walk or short bus ride) to the old part of Jandia (Morro Jable) because the beach there is beautiful and the sea is calmer than on the beach opposite the hotel. There are also a few taverna type bars right by the edge of the sea. For the price I think this hotel is excellent, it would cost double to stay at some of the hotels in Jandia. I can't wait to go back next year.
Great Time!!!
from A TripAdvisor Member
I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Great for friends, couples and families. (May not to be suitable for the less mobile.) On arrival the reception staff were of great help and spoke good english. Check in took around 10 min and the luggage is taken onto the rooms for you. The rooms were very clean and Tidy. My party (2 couples) were located in the main building and block 1, we couldnt have asked for a better location within in complex. The food was very nice. This was my first time to an all inclusive resort so I wasnt too sure what to expect. There was a wide range of food available which was nice as is didnt get boring. The pools were great, kept clean. Plenty of sunbeds for those who love to soak up the sun! We spent our time at the main pool, near the wet bar so we could take advantage of the all inclusive drinks! There are activies which take place around this pool throughout the day includin stretchin, dancing, water volley and water areobics. The 'Life' reps were great fun, definately made the holiday what it was! For those with children I would recommend this hotel as it allows adults the chance to enjoy their holiday as much as the little ones. There is a mini club where the children can spend time here having thier own fun. They have their own pool, a small maze, activities to take part in and their very own mini disco in the evening. This is supervised by members of the Life team. Evening entertainment takes place in the theatre between 9.30 and 11pm. The Mr.Barcelo evening is great fun, worth going to watch! There is a bar in here which took a maximum of 5mins to be served and the stage is in good view so you dont miss anything! In the hotel there is a gift shop and a small clothes shop selling mainly beach/surfer wear, o'neil type shop. The nearest supermarket is a spar which is located at the bottom of the complex, there is however 72 steps to walk down which are quite tiring in the heat. There is a shopping centre next to the hotel however this not quite open yet. Location of the beach is at the bottom of the resort across a small road. It takes 5-10min walk. It can be reached by a tunnel so you dont have to worry about the road. When you leave the complex I recommend you turn left as you then walk down a slope which takes you straight under the tunnel onto the beach. (turnin right means walkin down the 72 steps). The beach was very nice, no black sand or pebbles just normal white sand. The water is a beautiful shade of blue. Some days the waves where rather non-existant but others were good for those who like surfing. Overall this was a fantastic holiday, been back a week and missing it already, planning to visit again June next year!
Relaxing Holiday
from Derms
We travelled with First Choice Premier for 2 weeks half board arriving 14/09/05. Previous reviews made us a little apprehensive. We checked in at 9.30pm and found reception to be fast, friendly and efficient. Our room turned out to be a suite overlooking the "premier" pool area with magnificant sea views and could not be faulted. The restaurant was very big, very bright and was pretty crowded at times. We ate at 8.30 each night and had no problems getting a table. The food was very good, varied and plenty of it. Restaurant staff were friendly, helpful and pretty efficient even when the place was full. Our only quibble with the restaurant was that almost every other cup and plate was chipped or cracked or both. The complex has 5 good pools with more than enough sun loungers, although the Brits still insist on booking them with towels at the crack of dawn. The complex is pretty big and consists of blocks running down the side of a hill from reception towards the beach. The beach is excellent. Steps and hills are unavoidable. The hotel entertainment is loud, multi lingual and did nothing for me..each to their own. The hotel has one major failing and it is the bar service which is unbelievably bad/slow. We went out every night after dinner. I recommend Linceys Bar, just outside the hotel beside the Spar, for a quiet civilised drink. Jandia is 20minutes walk away and Morro Jable about 40mins. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, 2.30euro to Jandia.
What a chambles! What a nightmare!
from A TripAdvisor Member
We chose this holidays as a last minute deal. Arrival We arrived on time from birmingham airport only to arrive at the checkin desk and the receptionist didnt speak english. However we managed to get to our room. Room The room was clean and a large bathroom. However all the channels except two/three were in german. Only CNN and Euronews were english. We were there for 7 days and we got sick of cnn and the news! And fed up of the german tv. The TV can get to you as there are no channels worth watching in english. The room wasnt clean on one day and we had no towels. They had taken the dirty ones and left none. So we went to reception as the room phone is always engaged to reception. It took them 1 hour to send replacement towels that was after communicating in spanish -english what the problem was. Food We went to the hotel on a half board basis. This gave breakfast and the option of either lunch or dinner. The breakfast choice was repetitive and most times we couldnt get a table and when we did get a table once we got up to get a tea or coffee it was cleared if our food which got very annoying! The evening meal was not relaxed and other english guests we spoke to said the same we only ate in the restaurant twice and the 5 nights out and we had paid half board! We jus couldnt stand it..... the restaurant is not 4 star its worse then macDonalds! It is almost noicier than a tube station as all the waitors are banging plates or smashing them! Service The service of the bar staff was very poor. We found they either bought us the wrong drinks or gave us cold drinks if we had ordered hot drinks! We would normally wait 20 minutes to get served and there was no more than 10 people at the bar!The services and prices was much better in the resort. Facilities The pools tables are terrrible the tiles on the floor everywhere are cracked so if going with children be careful! we found one couple who had fallen and they were elderly. The hotel was trying not to take responsibility! so be careful! Entertainment All in non-english! So we didnt bother going! Smoking Everyone in the hotel smoked. We got annoyed as there was no non smoking areas! Everyone was smoking so we were passively smoking for 7 days of our holiday! Conclusion We booked last minute but still paid nearly £1000 for two people! I would never go to this hotel again! I have been to lanzarote stayed in 4 star there and seychelles stayed in 5star there this year. This hotel is not even 3 star! IF your british dont go stay...we met other couples on a boat cruise who stayed at the jandia princess! We were going to book there but didnt as this was £100 cheaper! Book the Jandia princess you will have a better holiday! STAY AWAY FROM THE JANDIA BARCELO PLAYA OR U WILL BE PLAYED!
If You Like to Queue, Go Here!!

We went in May 2005 and were looking forward to it as the hotel had been rated as a Four Star Premier hotel. The hotel in itself i.e. the rooms, surroundings etc were fine, no complaints and was good to have a room assigned for guests to use on departure day. HOWEVER the Food/Service/Bar were another matter : • Queuing EVERY evening to enter the buffet restaurant, this would be for a minimum of 15 minutes. • Once we had worked our way to the front of the queue, difficulty finding a table that was free of the last persons used crockery! • Waiting a further 10–15 minutes for the table to be re-laid. • Chipped crockery whenever we ate there whether it be breakfast or evening meal. • While eating our dessert we still had starter, main meal crockery and cutlery waiting to be cleared, this was a regular occurrence for breakfast and evening meal. • Uncooked food, practically raw bacon was placed with cooked bacon. • Queuing for coffee/tea or juice every morning at breakfast • Poor sloppy service. If you wanted to drink at the bars in the evening you had to queue too, but for about 30 mins! Luckily we were half board and the hotel did allow you to swap evening meal for lunch which was alot better. Many people were all-inclusive who we felt very sorry for. Apparently in 2004 the hotel was excellent but unfortunately it seems to have got carried away with it's success for that year! Would go to Fuerteventura, Jandia again but would NOT stay here!
