Hotell Mallorca - Hotell i Can Picafort i Mallorca, Spanien

We returned to Can Picafort for the first time since our honeymoon in 1973. It has changed, but for the better. We really enjoyed the promenade area along the beach and strrolled happily here past the bars and restaurant and, eating there . The beach is extensive and well kept. We were saddened to see our original hotel, the Son Baulo, closed. Is Thompsons refurbishing or will they knock it down? The beach area around Son Baulo is still wonderful and we had a nice drink in the seafront cafe. Our hotel, EIX Platja Daurada, was at the opposite end of town with easy access to the main roads to Palma, Inca and Alcudia. It is an ideal lkocation for expoloring, with easy access to Arta, Cala Radjada and the coast with the Caves of Arta and the Caves of Drac. We went to the Arta Caves, which were magnificent. We also visited Alcudia, Polenca, Cala Radjada, Arta and Inca. Inca market is huge, but there is not a great deal of diversity amongst the stalls - leather goods, jewellery, hats, belts, bags and wallets, watches, kitchen implements, flowers, fruit and vegatables, and a few with lace goods. Alcudia market is as good. Our hotel was excellent and we would stay there again. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The bar is very good, while breakfast left you spoiled for cholice. The pools and adjoining beach are magnificent. Majorca is great; the roads are greatly improved, but watch out for cyclists! It is also good to not have to pay to park! Make sure you try Tapas.

We were fortunate to return to the hotel for its 40th celebrations on 16th September 2008. The day was great fiishing with a magnificent firework display toasted with champagne. We enjoyed our holiday there in 2007 and were surprised to see old faces amongst the guests from 2007 staying this year. I emailed the hotel before arriving asking for a particular room and my request was accepted. The food was superb, the staff so friendly and the facilities first class. I shall be returning again

A nice, friendly hotel with great staff. Decent sized pool that never got overcrowded. Good location. Would be happy to stay there again. There weren't many children staying at the hotel which was a plus point for us.

Trevligt med ett hotell som inte är så stort det blir mer personligt på så vis. Lägenheterna bra storlek för oss som bara var två personer. Köket lite dåligt utrustat om man vill laga mat och spisen var urkass. Mycket bra läge nära en bra badstrand och lagom promenadavstånd till centrum dit man går den underbara strandpromenaden. Trevlig terass med pool, solstolar och bar.

We decided to book despite the bad reviews we found online, sure they were wrong... And we were definitely right! Great room with balcony and an amazing view of the sea (it comes with a few pounds more, definitely worth it!), nice and helpful staff (the guy was waiting for us at 3am) and great location, close enough to the sea and town centre and far enough from the mess. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends! FYI: If you guys want a five star hotel, pay for a five star hotel and leave this nice little place to us without writing mean reviews about the kind of bread offered for breakfast.. So low!

Generally ok and would recommend to a friend, but disappointing areas were:- the hotel's proximity to the road and the road noise well into the late night (there was no forewarning of this), the proximity to the electricity pylons, the swimming pools - not suitable for children who need to feel pool surface beneath their feet, lack of ambience (could make so much more of it), grounds rather barren even bearing in mind the temperature, air-conditioning not fit for purpose (would have been so much better with ceiling fans), room furniture not welcoming, beds rather hard, room fridge not fit for purpose BUT the staff were wonderful and so very welcoming. Genuine Mallorcan hospitality. This review is based on a superior double room with balcony even though I booked a twin room! Oh, the balcony is simply a VERY narrow juliet style affair, only room for foldable chairs and absolutely no elbow room.
