Hi Allie

Unfortunately I haven't time to read through them all but maybe someone mentions the sister hotel in the REVIEWS.

Hi,

Me & the gf are off to Jandia in Sept, booked through Thomas Cook, i believe we will be staying in the Mar hotel (even though its referred as a resort).

Anyone able to give some indication as what to expect? What to do there, where to go, where not to go etc.

Thanks

Hi,
barcelo jandia mar is a fab hotel. It has been 5 years since we went so maybe some one will come along who has visited recently Heres a little info that may help. Its approx 20 minute walk to the beach which is beautiful white sands and clear sea. (watch out for the nudest beach!) There is a good selection of shops, cafes and resturants along the sea front.

Thanks
We were just after a nice relaxing quiet holiday where the weather is pretty much guarenteed to be sunny and hot for the majority were there.

Not too fussed about having to walk to beaches, towns etc. gives us something to do and its not like it wont be nice weather!

I think for the type of holiday you have described jandia will be perfect for you We visited in june time and the weather was fab We found the food in the jandia mar food amazing and very varied so hopefully it will be the same when you go. The entertainment was typical hotel entertainment, local acts that performed and were ok. We usually just had drinks and a wander in the evening.
Its a fairly quiet resort and very clean. When we were there it was more couples both young and old and a few children. This may have changed since we went but it is a beautiful part of fuerteventura and we hope to go back again at some point.

Come back and let us know how your holiday went and your thoughts of jandia. All this talk is bringing back wonderful memories of our holiday there.

I'll make sure i remind myself to come on and let you know and put some pics up!

We booked up last August so its been a long, long wait, but only 16 weeks to go

Hi, just returned from the Jandia mar, we had a great time. If you have booked with thomas cook/direct holidays you can use the sister hotel Jandia playa aswell. We tried both, the meals in the playa were nicer we thought. There is a steep hill up to the mar from the beach but you can cut through the playa hotel which makes it easier. It was 21 euros for the safe, and 10 euros deposit for beach towels, you have to pay to change them. The beer wine and soft drinks is self service in the bars, this cuts down on queues. Me and the hubby had a really chilled out holiday here a great place to relax.

Brilliant thanks.

I had been reading some reviews on trip advisor, but some of the people on there moan about the littlest things!!
