We enjoyed our holiday at this hotel though, having been there before we felt that this is a 4 Star hotel that is rapidly becoming a 3 Star. From the outside the hotel architecture is easy on the eye and inside is very pleasant and clean. The Junior Suite offers a spacious lounge, bedroom and bathroom with full length balcony. Air con is standard and there are three telephones and 2 tV's. A mini fridge is also included. The Maid service was excellent. The rooms need to be upgraded with better TV's and with an option to have a stocked fridge. The choice of TV channels was poor and there is only one English-speaking channel - CNN.
A big disappointment was the food. There was plenty of it but the hot, (self service) food was none too hot and cold plates was all that was available. The plate warmers either did not work or were not being used. A 4 Star hotel does not serve hot food on cold plates!! There was a good selection of well presented cold food.
The Barcelo Jandia Mar has a 500, (approx), seater dining room so you can imagine the numbers of people milling around and when the table stocked with breads of different sorts has no plates or butter portions available at it, then people are forced to go hunting for these items hugely increasing the 'milling around' going on. This human traffic jam is compounded by self-serve soft drinks fonts that cough and splutter as they dispense diet Coke, Fanta etc. which is more often-than-not flat when you eventually manage to fill your glass, making you want to try other fonts sited around the room. Clearly the equipment is not maintained properly. A lengthy queue at a vending machines for coffee can often result in watery, poor quality beverages and adds to the frustration at each mealtime. Unless you are early arriving at the dining room for meals, tables can be difficult to find and staff appear surly and do not enjoy being asked to clear a dirty table.
Out at the pools, which are beautifully shaped and designed, the patio areas are clean and sun loungers are tidied promptly at the end of the day. We found no pressure to 'reserve' sun loungers. Patio furniture is past its sell-by date and needs to be renewed. The wooden balustrades and pergolas around the patios and pools need re-stained. There were small areas of mosaic tiles missing from the floors of some the pools which are unheated and a bit of a challenge. There is a bar outside, near the pools, which serves alcoholic drinks with self-serve soft drinks fonts that, once again, function poorly. There is a pervading smell of stale beer around this bar which indicates deep cleaning is required. During the afternoon hot food is served at a patio area near to the upper pool and while adequate is hardly 4 Star quality. Tables are not cleared and cleaned quickly enough so you may have to eat among the detritus left by the previous user.
Other facilities include table-top games such as table top football, though this was heavily stained with congealed drinks and unusable. Other equipment, putting clubs for instance, is worn and damaged. the 'mini-golf', (crazy golf), course is showing its age.
All in all there is a lack of maintenance around the building and its facilities generally and a specific lack of organization and maintenance of food service equipment - not something that a 4 Star hotel allows to happen.
The Barcelo Jandia Mar has the potential to remain the jewel in the crown of Jandias hotels, but it had better move quickly.

if you want to be barman or a waiter then go to the barcelo jandia mar,
this is surpose to a 4 star hotel, but the service is not even 1 star,
in the restraunt the only thing the maids or waiters do is clear tables ans re-set them, that is only when they can keep up because there is one maid to about 30 tables, at times i have seen poeple have to set there own tables before sitting then having tgo fetcth glasses, water,wine etc,
want a nice relaxing time at the entertianment,nope fraid not fetcth your own, and poor it , yes thats rigth now your a barmen,pooring your own beer but watch when it runs out it showers you in froth
