"Overall a 9.9 out of 10. Absolutely loved this hotel and before I start, yes 100% would go back.
Positives - beautiful hotel, modern & clean, staff brilliant, rooms cleaned & fresh towels everyday. Air con was the best ive had in a hotel. Ive just read someone complained about the food being cold, hell no, at first it looks like there isnt much, but its kept refreshed in small batches to keep it ticking over. The grill was always on the go and by far the best pork steak ive had very little chicken though - odd.
Neutrals - going back to food as all restaurants they are catering for a mass and therefore the food is very random but the silliest complaint ive ever had, was zero potato product other than chips. I have a restricted diet and am quite happy with a salad, but a girl cant live on leaves alone, and i would normally pop on a couple of small boiled potato's/ little fried potatos - no, oven chips every meal. So yeah guys please remember not everyone can eat pasta/rice with bits in and veg covered in sauce.
I was 1 of only 3 brits at the hotel the whole week which wasnt a problem for me, but if it is a problem for you - then it is something to consider when booking.
Its a very german hotel - i just wish they would learn how to queue, nothing personal to this hotel, every holiday i say the same thing, i dont understand how they think they can get in a lift without letting you getting out, but thats a question i probably will never get answered.
Negatives - 1 toilet for the whole reception/restaurant/bar and pool, it was spotless dont get me wrong, but come on guys, we need more that one ladies.
Question rather than a negative - only saw the pool being cleaned once and the levels never tested now there maybe a reason for this, but im off to Cala Vinas in the south in 2 weeks and they clean it every morning and test it twice a day. So i dont know why Vista didnt need too, however the pool was spotless and lovely for such a small hotel.
Its a coke hotel, now this doesnt normally go into my negatives because i appreciate a hotel has to choose a team and not all choose team pepsi and being allergic to coke zero is my problem not theirs.
Nobody in the hotel batted an eyelid when i produced a bottle of max after ordering my vodka/ice. Except the horrible little man in the restaurant, i let him have his moment of glory trying his best to embarrass me in front of everyone, said that it was just pepsi max in my beaker and i wouldnt drink it. But then gave him what for at the door to his embarrassment (he kept trying to walk away). No water machine in the evening, excuse me? I appreciate a hotel has to make a profit but id paid for my evening meal and I should have access to a glass of water. I did explain to him if he had taken 2 seconds to look at my plate he would have known i had a restricted diet, nobody with a whole buffet of food in front of them eats lettuce, cucumber a few green peppers and a piece of pork through choice (but boy was the pork good).
So yes my only negative was 1 member of staff out of a whole team of people- his attitude needs to be addressed and maybe a little training on food allergies and how to handle them. He instantly thought british - so she will have sneaked alcohol in, he should have asked - no just wanted to bully the single female what a sad pathetic little man.
Area - The sea is at the bottom of the street, with a couple of bars. To the right is a beach where they do the water sports from, a few tourist shops and large supermarket, to the left you head down to the marina which is your resort as such it was a fab walk along the seafront took me 20 mins (but i was taking it slow)
Little supermarket pretty much across the road with everything in you need, reasonable prices for instance 2.20 euro for a 2ltr pepsi max.
In the marina, the prices were normal i paid 9 euro for a cocktail and the meals ranged from 13-20 ish - dependant on what meat/fish you ordered.
So to sum up - never been to Can Picafort before it was a last minute value for money solo holiday not even been to north Majorca before ive always been a south girl - and yes loved it (other than the bus journey back to the airport) I will absolutely be back.
Just to add, all this is the press about Majorca not being welcoming to the British, dont believe everything you read. I was in Tenerife in Feb, obviously here in July and in south Majorca in Sept 24/25 and every spanish person Ive met has been lovely. Im booked for spain 3 times next year, its just a few attitudes not the majority."
