" This hotel is wonderful! Didn't want... "
Submitted By: Mrs S SwankiePiano bar also great, with balconies overlooking pool area which was really nice in the evening also.
Meals were buffet style and a good choice every night. About an hour’s stroll away along the beach is the main resort of Jandia with shops and cafes along the beach which was really good for a day away from the hotel.
Beautiful large pool and ample sunbeds (1st hotel I think I've been to where you didn't have a mad rush 1st thing in the morning for a sunbed!).
This was the second time we'd been and would definitely go back again.

" This hotel and location was stunning.... "
Submitted By: Miss E BriggsOverall the holiday was a good one. The weather was lovely. The bad points were: the food was a bit repetitive and not very nice, the air conditioning in the main building was virtually non-existent and wasn’t much better in the room. I found it bearable at night but my friend found it incredibly uncomfortable.
Although the kids club entertainers work really hard they are incredibly loud and very in your face, I don’t think they realised that using a mic enhances your voice as they would shout down it and it was deafening.
The entertainment after the kids club was reasonably good. The daytime by the pool was nice and quiet.
Overall I liked the holiday but it could have been better.

" Just returned from a very enjoyable... "
Submitted By: Mr Alan LewisAccommodation comfortable with good facilities and always clean. Meals were varied and there was plenty of choice. Although it was the height of the season, we could always find a table in the dining room to suit us. The waiters were very busy but served us well.
The swimming pools were excellent with plenty of space - perhaps because the water was quite cold. One major downside was that the area surrounding the pools, where the sun loungers were to be found, was never cleaned throughout the fortnight that we were there and parts of it were quite dirty.
The Thomson rep was very efficient, and our grandson enjoyed the luxury of being able to borrow inflatables and surfboards from the Thomson office. Drinks from the bars were very good but at peak times more bar staff were needed. The piano bar was a lovely area to sit after dinner, with pleasant music, but we could not understand why the bar here was not part of the All Inclusive option - we had to go down two levels to get any drinks.
Overall, we would recommend this hotel.

" The hotel was brilliant very very... "
Submitted By: Vicky & DanThe holiday was great mostly aimed at families couples and elderly travellers rated 4star but could get a 5*.
The food was only one slight downfall as was very similar daily.
The major downfall which ruined our holiday was the building work, it was so noisy we was told it would be a few tiles around the pool, but isn't that and a small building site next door.
I would on a good note totally recommend the hotel to any one, once the work has been done.
Thomson were mainly responsible, as they didn’t fully inform us of the work.
Our rep Spencer was brilliant, he was the only good rep from Thomson from booking to the end.

" We spent the last week of January... "
Submitted By: Mr A McDonaldHowever, roofs, doors and windows let in water. Public areas were festooned with towels and buckets soaking up the rain.
Inside, in bars and lounges it was cold. There are many broken, dangerous tiles throughout the complex.
For a period of days one of the hoists did not work; the steam room in the sauna was not operational; some of the paths are unlit; hot tap water is only available at certain times.
Food was excellent, service generally good, room comfortable, entertainment at night varied from good to dire.
During the worst of the weather, the management provided nothing by way of diversions for guests incarcerated in their rooms or equally cold public areas.
These should be basic considerations in any hotel of any standard.
To be fair many of the inadequacies would have been overlooked if the sun had shone, but, it didn't, and the management had no contingency plan to cope.

" Just returned from a weeks holiday... "
Submitted By: Miss L J HacklingI then read all the other reviews on the Internet and phoned Portland to change hotel, as it sounded like the hotel form hell. We than decided to stick with this hotel and we were so glad we did.
One pool was out of use but there was still four other pools. Food was fantastic, never the same. The only thing that was true that I read about, was the tiles were very slippery round by the pools and could do with replacing.
The hotel is set away from anything but you could get a bus or taxi and it would take you to the town centre. I was worried about the steps going down to the beach, as I was on holiday with my mum and my 2 year old. But is was not a great problem, as you could walk down the road to the other Princess hotel and cut through their hotel and a big slope led you down to the beach.
Rooms were ok not fantastic quite basic but clean. Never been to a Princess Hotel but would go again. Oh and I never saw one cockroach.

" After reading some very suspect... "
Submitted By: Mr N PillingOn arrival, I was very impressed with a pleasant welcome in reception, followed by a cold buffet put on for us late arrivals.
A short walk down to a nice sandy beach, the hotel is ideally situated, just a short taxi ride from Jandia centre. The food was of a reasonable standard and quite varied. I think if we'd stayed for 2 weeks, it may have become a bit tedious.
The rooms are tastefully decorated, spacious with big mirrored wardrobes which are quite handy for the bedroom athletes out there. Car hire is competitively priced and what better way of exploring the island, than scooting round in a little convertible.
On the whole I would recommend Club Jandia Princess for holidaymakers of all ages for a quiet beach break with a good chance of sunshine all year round.

" Well I just came from my vacation and... "
Submitted By: Mrs K SimoesOur package was all inclusive, if I knew before that all inclusive had a specific timetable I wouldn’t pick it. Everything was controlled, the waiters would start clearing the buffet tables 1/2 an hour before the time limit, at 9:30, breakfast would be ending, kind of early for who is on holidays. And there wasn’t much of a variety of food, pretty much would be the same ordinary things everyday. The waiters were pretty rude too, that was the first thing I noticed, 2 of them had the courage to ask me to help them clear the table!
The hotel was pretty clean at all times, and the rooms are spacious and clean too, but I didn’t understand why our mini bar was always empty, they never put anything in it?! Despite the hotel being clean, what really grossed me out was the cockroaches that would come out at night, they were everywhere, towards the end of my vacation I got scared when I would go out at night, I would see them crawl up peoples legs, I’m not kidding!
The floor at the pool area which is basically around the entire hotel, was extremely slippery, the kids kept falling and getting bruised. I was also afraid of falling too even though I was very careful considering I was 5 months pregnant at the time. What I really liked about this hotel was the entertainment team, they were excellent! Every night we would see something different and very good performances. My congratulations for the animation team!
Well one thing I know for sure was that I did have fun because we were a big group but I’m pretty sure I won’t go back to this place.

Submitted By: Miss KLR Wilcox<BR><BR>
The hotel is located quite a distance from the bars and restaurants but there is a regular bus service and taxis available. We spent two weeks relaxing in the extremely peaceful surroundings of the hotel and beach.

Would definitely return to this hotel. <BR>

" The hotel is very clean and the rooms... "
Submitted By: Mr M Kent<br><br>
Then l8r on you collect your t-shirt on stage. The pools are wicked but they are a little cold:(....and some look deeper than they are: (ow!) The drinks are fresh and a variety of alcohol is available. As there are not as many English people as in the Balearics all the English kids join together in one big gang :d
<br><br>
The games room is a bit limited. The hotel is massive and there are several areas to explore. The snack bar is very useful and the food is good for an afternoon snack. The sauna is spacious and very hot lol. The steam room is ok but no sauna! The Jacuzzi is good too. Some of the reps are very pleasing to the eye too :p The hotel caters for young children too with a kids club n kids pool.
<br><br>
The entertainment is varied and good....its either a professional show or a show prepared by the reps. There is a bar in the middle of the pool called cocloco and that is chilling most of the day. Shout out to everyone I met there...Laura, Katie, Hannah, Toby, Catherine x2, Verity, Gemma, Paro, Charlotte, Tom, Jack, Oli, and the legend that is Paul the p**s head!!! <br>

" An excellent choice for those, like... "
Submitted By: Mrs C E HopkinsonBreakfast and dinner can best be described as a gastronomic experience - the choice is unbelievable.
There is direct access (down cliff steps) to miles of endless sandy beaches, totally uncrowded.
This is our second visit and we shall return again next year for our annual week’s switch off therapy.

" This was the first Princess hotel we... "
Submitted By: Miss C WilliamsThe location was out the way a bit from shops bars and restaurants but could get be accessible by 40-minute walk along beach or by bus or taxi service.
The beach was to die for - pristine white sand and clear sea water...it was just breath-taking.
The food was excellent too. buffet style but very fresh and an enjoyable selection for all. Alacarte was also available if you fancied a treat and the staff could not be faulted in any way.
The rooms were spacious and very clean and the grounds are very picturesque.
We would deffo return to this hotel and any other Princess Hotel in the future.
