My parenst are both travel agents, therefor we travel a lot. Last summer (2008) we decided to go to Fuerteventura, once that it is the only spanish island we never visited. We like to stay in good hotels, so we choose this hotel because it belongs to the Ocidental group- known for its quality...the pool is good, rooms are good... more

I go away twice a year to all different places all over Europe and when possible further and thought i would give this place a try, First choice say it is 4 star... no way. We arrived at about 10pm in the evening with three other coaches of people, so there was a lot of us to queue. We then... more

We took advantage of an off season toddler for free special offer at the end of May-June. Our 2 3/4 yr son spent as much time as he could in t he shallow bar pool and sometimes with us in the deeper pool. We hardly made use of the children`s activities. The buffet food was excellent and varied. The staff... more

We needed a break, knew the area, and wanted to try a different hotel. BIG mistake. My partner wasn't that mobile and we'd requested extra leg room on the Thomas Cook flight and a quiet location of room not too far from the spa or reception / restaurents. Neither of those happened, the room overlooked the pool 'fun club', and... more

I took my son, his wife (expecting number 4) and their 3 other children all under 5 for a half term break and the venue was ideal. Food, pools. children's club with evening half hour disco all meant that weary parents could relax. The gardens were immaculate and everywhere tidied. Particularly enjoyed the on-tap hot chocolate after a swim in... more

First time we decided to go all-inclusive on canarean islands and did not regret. The hotel is situated in a quiet place 5 min drive from the more busy Jandia in a quiet place near Butihondo Beach. You can also take the bus but it takes much longer (30-40 min) to Jandia due to many stop-bys at all neighbouring hotels.... more

This was advertised as a Premier Hotel by the First Choice Brochure but although the facilities may be, the service is definitely not. On the plus side the rooms are very large. We stayed in block 11 and were pleased with the bed, bathroom and space. The main pool is also very big and there are 3 others which are... more

My husband and I went for our anniversary and had a lovely time. The staff were very attentive - topping up our glasses before we even had chance to reorder! We were all inclusive and were surprised that even champagne was included. The grounds and facilities were well tended and clean. The hotel did not appear to be full, so... more

We stayed at the Occidental for a four night break and on arrival knew we should have booked for the week. Although we arrived at nine thirty at night we were quickly checked in and told to make our way to the restaurant for evening meal and our suitcases would be waiting for us in our room. When i walked... more
