Me and my mum recently stayed at the Sunrise Jandia Resort in fuerteventura in February 2008, and i have to say it really was a great holiday! my mum even said it was 1 of the best holdidays she had ever had.
we got a shuttle bus from the airport it took about 1 hour and a half, my mum booked this online.
when we arrived the entrence was sort of round the back and we thought we were in the middle of no where, we went to reception and they were very helpfull and frienly and spoke good english. they gave us a map and directed us to our room. we were on the bottom floor and had to walk down the stairs to get to the lift and walk down the stairs to the last level, which is a pain when you have a heavy suitcase. it felt like we were in a basement when we were walking to out appartment but as we walked in and went out to the balcony the view was great we were parrallel to the sea, the reception is alot higher up and we were just on ground level, it was amazing. the room was nice clean and tidy, we had maid service everyday apart from wednesday and sunday. we didnt have a microwave or a cooker which was stupid seeing as we were self catering. the pool was nice and you could also go to the other hotels pool which was joined to our hotel. we didnt really go anyway we just love the beach.
There is a market on thursdays about 20 mins down the road. this was good and there are many shops along the way. i loved going into town at night. we ate in a restaurant twice in town and twice in the restaurant, unfortunatly the restaurant food wasnt great they didnt have a great deal, nothing was named so you didnt know what it was we ended up having abit of salad both nights, they had no vegetables or anything, the deserts were nice though.
The beach was just across the road. it was the nicest most luxourious beach i had ver stepped foot on, it was Massive, soo wide and long it was never ending. it was nudist tho, but if u just walk abit down it was ok, you could hire a sunbed on the beach for just 3 euros! very cheap, and although it was only february it was very hot suntimes too hot it reached 28 degrees, we had 1 day of rain but it was hot again after. it was a great holiday the staff was friendly the hotel was clean, the town was good although there was little else to do and the beach was fantastic. i would deffinatly go again !!

Generally a good hotel to stay at.

This used to be a RIA? Hotel that was sold on when it needed some maintenance.

Perhaps that says it all, great location, great food, great staff, good facilities but in need of little refurb here and there.

Another negative for some could be that those using the hotel are mainly German and the food provided is with them in mind. Personally I found them good friendly company and generally enjoyed the excellent 'ott' buffet cuisine.

Soft drinks appear to be the real thing - pepsi, 7up etc.

Disco some nights, entertaiment team for others, and one very professional flamenco evening

Beach a walk away across a main road. No hotel provision here (umberellas, couches etc) all privately owned.

One pool is heated and very pleasant when the weather is on the cooler side.

Would we return? Yes, a good hotel for our winter break.

This resort is far from the airport and the views from the coach arent that scenic, but dont let that put you off, because when you arrive in Jandia you will be amazed at the beach! We certainly were. The Sunrise Jandia was basic, but clean, and had everything that we required from a holiday. We went Self Catering so didn't eat in the hotel, but heard good things about it. The pool area was lovely, but sometimes struggled to find a sun bed. Especially if we left it till late morning.

The Local amenities are Brilliant! Lots of restaurants and bars and shops. Typically European, with the odd English/Irish bar, and great Chinese food!! The hotel is literally 100 meters from all the action.

The main highlight of our holiday was the beach! FANTASTIC!! Granted, it was a bit of a walk to it, as its a VERY wide beach!! (approx 10 mins max) but its a nice walk and once you get there you will realise how totally worth it the walk was!! Best beach we've ever been too. This is not the holiday for you if you are after calm seas as the waves reach 10ft high to our knowledge!! and they don't half send you spinning if you get caught up in one... But great fun!!

You have to walk to Morro Jable. Its lovely. Very Oldy Worldy and the beaches just get even better!! We got a Taxi there and walked back most nights. Taxi cost about 4 Euro's.

All in all, the hotel is lovely (cant speak for All Inclusive) and the town is gorgeous with fantastic shops that are really cheap for perfume etc!

Enjoy!!

We booked this hotel through Holiday Experts. I specifically asked for hotel room with air conditioning. We were given an apartment without air conditioning. To be fair, it was Holiday Experts' fault but the reception is not very helpful in the matter. Never book with Holiday Experts, they are not giving you what you want. At the end we paid hotel rate for apartment.
The complex is a massive concrete block, consists of 4 hotels altogether. The apartment is hot at day time, cool at night. But over looking a busy road. There is a hike to walk towards the beach through what seems to be a deserted moor land. Not very good looking. There are two swimming pools. During our stay, only one restaurant and one bar are opened. The restaurant has a time and seating allocation. Either 6pm to 7.30pm or 8pm to 9.30pm. You are given a table number whether or not you are going to spend only 15 minutes. It is a stupid system that causing a lot of hassle with people taking your table as reception never explain to us that we have to stick to the table number. We taken someone tables the second night, and then our table are take at fourth night. The restaurant is uncomfortably hot and stuffy. Food is very little in choice. For the whole week, I only had shrimp once!! There seems to be a very tight budget for food. Cooking is good though. Staffs are over worked. no one could crack a smile for you and I don't blame them. Entertainments are all in German, if there is something on. We're one of the 4 britons among 500 german in the hotel. You can se the scale. There were only two shows we get to see. I won't go back to Sunrise, but will try Riu next time as that stretch of beach is must better. Jandia is beautiful. The stretch of beach just right outside is full of German.
