2026 Can Picafort Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in July)

This was truly a fantastic experience. I’ve been on several all-inclusive vacations before, but this one is by far the best! The room was spacious, lovely, and exceptionally clean! We stayed in an apartment with a rooftop jacuzzi. The food (both at the restaurants and by the pool) was of the highest quality! The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. We felt like we "got to know" everyone, and they quickly learned our kids’ names. Every evening, there was top-notch entertainment ranging from magicians to acrobats. Additionally, there was a Kahoot game that became a big hit with the whole family. 10 out of 10 points—highly recommend planning your vacation at Zafiro!

We stayed here during half term as a large group with varying ages, including four children. We all absolutely loved it and had an amazing time. The children's splash pool was fantastic, with lots of slides, shallow water for easy movement, and plenty of activities. The main pool with bubbles was also excellent—not too deep for adults (about 0.7m) and perfect for most children, who especially enjoyed playing on the bubble. Floats were available at the shop and welcomed in the pool. The adults-only area was great, though we only explored it briefly since we were traveling with kids. The food selection was very good, and the pool bar was brilliant for lunch, offering a nice alternative when tired of the buffet. The drinks selection was excellent, with favorites like the “Mickey” and the milkshakes being highlights for our group. Kids' entertainment was outstanding. Our children loved the disco, medal games, and were thrilled to receive their medals at the end. We also enjoyed the morning greetings with Yzzy at the stage area. The animation team was wonderful; my daughter became particularly fond of Maria, and we also had lovely interactions with Lise, Alexandra, and others whose names we unfortunately missed. This isn’t a huge resort, but we think that made it even better—no rush for sunbeds, no overcrowding at the buffet, and it was always easy to find seats for dinner or during the shows. The beach was a roughly 10-minute walk, complete with charming little shops. Absolutely lovely and highly recommended!

What a fantastic stay. The bedding was very comfortable, the rooms were spacious and clean, the buffet offered a wide variety, and the cocktails were incredible. The pools were very pleasant, and the kids loved the dedicated spaces and their famous water bubble. We are delighted with our choice. Just a note: the place is quite isolated, so plan for a car or taxi rides.

We go home tomorrow after a lovely stay at Zafiro Mallorca. Here are some highlights: 1. The staff are truly outstanding. A special mention to Enrique Ballester (hope I got his name right!) at reception—he was so helpful and lovely. Funny enough, we found out we studied in the same small town in mainland Spain! Also, Malia, the host at breakfast, was so friendly and caring with our daughter each morning. Even the hotel manager went out of his way to show me directions to a shop on our first night—almost walking me there himself! 2. The hotel is VERY clean, which is vital when traveling with small children. The housekeeping staff were friendly and accommodating, which we really appreciated. 3. Everything is perfectly set up for kids—the food, activities, swimming pool, and shop—exactly what you'd hope for in a family hotel. 4. The food exceeded expectations for a family hotel. It was fresh, delicious, and prepared with care by very friendly chefs. While it’s not perfect, nothing worth complaining about surfaced during our stay. Highly recommend Zafiro Mallorca for families!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very attentive; we especially loved Fernando. Rajmund was an excellent entertainments manager—couldn’t believe he was Hungarian! The pool area was lovely and brilliantly maintained, featuring both indoor and outdoor pools. There was also a good variety of evening entertainment to enjoy.

Just returned from a 7-day stay at this hotel. The staff were lovely, helpful, and went above and beyond to assist us. When checking in, we mentioned my husband’s food allergies to the receptionist, who provided him with a card translating his allergies to show the staff during meal times, avoiding any issues. Special thanks to Fernando, who always remembered my husband’s allergies and his usual order. The hotel was clean and tidy, with nicely decorated rooms. We stayed in block 3 and enjoyed a beautiful view of the distant mountains. Unfortunately, the pool bar was closed throughout our stay, likely due to arriving at the start of the season. We appreciated the hotel’s tranquil location away from the busy beachfront, making it pleasantly quiet. Our only criticism is the worn decking around the pool. There were plenty of loose boards around it, so wearing flip-flops or sandals is essential. Overall, it’s good value for the money.

We had a wonderful summer vacation and were completely satisfied. Our room with a swim-up pool was an absolute highlight—being able to step straight from the room into the water and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere was truly dreamy. We particularly want to praise the receptionist. From the very first moment, he was exceptionally friendly, warm, and helpful. We felt welcomed right away, and any questions or concerns were promptly and competently addressed. The entire property was beautifully maintained, the staff attentive, and the stay overall simply flawless. We wholeheartedly recommend the hotel and would gladly return anytime. Thank you for the amazing time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Arrived on June 1st to a lovely, clean hotel. There was always some sort of cleaning happening throughout the day. The food was excellent, offering just the right amount of variety. The staff were fantastic. The pool and sunbed area were fabulous. Came along with my Father, who thoroughly enjoyed himself. The rooms were spacious, and the shower was outstanding. Rajmund, the entertainment guy, was very engaging and warm. Met some wonderful people as well. Would definitely return, probably next June.

Everything about the hotel exudes quality. First and foremost, the staff are exceptional and truly an asset to the hotel. The rooms are spacious and stylish, the pool area is peaceful and offers ample space with plenty of sun loungers. Evening entertainment included a mix of quizzes and live singers. The food was incredible, offering a wide variety of choices and excellent quality.

The rooms are decent; you can tell they've been renovated. However, what truly deserves five stars is the food. Both at breakfast and dinner, there was plenty of variety, and no matter what you choose to eat, it tasted great. Additionally, the pool area is quite enjoyable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, making the experience even better.

It was a lovely hotel, though as a picky eater, I wouldn’t recommend it in that regard. The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful, especially since it was my first holiday as the lead passenger. Aqua aerobics was definitely the highlight, thanks to the instructor Rajmund—he was incredible and so friendly.

This was our first experience staying at an adults-only hotel. As a young 80+ couple who usually vacations with family, we wanted a peaceful week due to recent health concerns, and that's exactly what we got. Our suite on the 3rd floor overlooked the pool, and the lifts were efficient and quick. The staff were outstanding—truly the most pleasant and helpful we’ve encountered in all our travels around the world. The food and drinks were delightful, offering a good variety daily. The cocktails, while taking a bit of time to prepare, were worth the wait. One downside is that if you prefer diet tonic, the Fever-Tree option costs an excessive €3.80 for a small bottle. The pool was lovely, a bit cool upon entering but refreshing, especially during the days when temperatures reached 33 degrees. It was perfect for cooling off. Would we return? Yes, absolutely—it’s a wonderful hotel! However, some improvements to the evening entertainment would be appreciated.

Just returned from a week at this resort, and honestly, there’s nothing to complain about—it’s one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms were big and spacious. The food was good; although there were a few dishes we didn’t enjoy or couldn’t eat, dining out was a nice option. The staff were very friendly, with Juan and Favian being the highlights of our trip. The location was also great—quiet and perfect for the time we went. It was the most relaxing holiday I’ve had in a while, simply soaking everything in. I’ll definitely be coming back again someday.

We absolutely loved this hotel and would almost certainly return. Visiting on the 20th of June as a family with two adult children, we found the hotel exceptionally clean. The large swimming pool was at the perfect temperature, and the separate splash pool for smaller guests was a nice touch. The grounds were beautifully maintained with plenty of shady spots and scenic walking paths. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, offering a fridge, a large sitting area, and lovely garden views from the balcony. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Sunbeds were always available regardless of the time of day, and all guests were polite, tidy, and respectful—no issues whatsoever. A standout feature was the pool bar. The bar staff were incredibly attentive and kind, efficiently managing a large area while keeping it spotless. We spent a lot of time here during the day and truly miss it! The food and drinks were of excellent quality, with lunch and dinner earning a solid 10/10. Daytime entertainment, organized by the hardworking Kevin and Paco, was thoroughly enjoyable. Water polo, daily water aerobics, and Kevin's beach volleyball lessons were particular highlights! Additional facilities like the table tennis, pool table, gym, and spa pool (free for guests) added to the fun. Although we didn’t attend much nighttime entertainment, we explored Can Picafort, just a seven-minute walk away, thanks to our older children. The beach there was perfect, with warm, sandy waters ideal for boating and paddleboarding. Thank you for a fantastic family vacation—we look forward to returning next year!

I came with a day pass, and everything was fantastic, from the reception service to the friendliness and excellent care of the waiters David and Fabián. They make an amazing team, Alicia! Congratulations. We will definitely return.

I spent a week here during the Pentecost holidays with my grandson. For those who enjoy entertainment, this is the perfect spot. Evening activities were organized for the kids, and the animators put in a great effort. Unfortunately, as I’m not a fan of such animation, I didn’t participate. Our room balcony faced the pool, and the music was audible even at night. The facility featured a larger pool for both children and adults, a smaller one outside for babies/toddlers, and an indoor pool. The water temperature was pleasantly warm. The rooms were always clean, towels were replaced daily, and most of the staff was very friendly. The reception team, especially Marita, stood out with her professionalism and kindness. When my grandson injured his finger in a door, she provided exceptional first aid—calm, empathetic, and highly professional. She also recommended some fantastic excursion spots and always took time to address my questions, making the hotel feel more personal despite its size. The buffet offered a wide selection, including options for vegans and vegetarians. Unfortunately, the dining hall was often quite noisy, but there was an outdoor seating area as well. The beach and various shops and boutiques were just a few minutes’ walk away, and strolling along the beach led to a small harbor. Overall, we felt very comfortable and well taken care of.

We had an incredible stay at Can Picafort Palace! Everything surpassed our expectations. The hotel was clean, well-kept, and offered a warm and inviting ambiance. The rooms were spacious and cozy, the food was delicious with a great variety, and the pool and facilities were outstanding. Every staff member was friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. Special thanks to the waiters David, Fabián, Juanma, and Alicia. They were truly amazing! Always smiling, attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely welcome every single day. Their top-notch service and positive attitude enhanced every meal we had. They are a true asset to the hotel and contributed significantly to making our holiday extraordinary. Big thanks to the entire Can Picafort Palace team for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this hotel and are already looking forward to returning! ❤️

What a fantastic hotel! The food was delicious with plenty of choices, and all the plates and dishes were very clean. The pool areas were spacious, and despite visiting over May half-term, we never struggled to find a sunbed. Both the rooms and hotel areas were spotless. The staff were amazing—working so hard and staying friendly even during busy times. I’ll definitely stay here again. My first visit to C’an Picafort won’t be my last! The hotel is perfectly located, close to shops, bars, and restaurants. However, the evening entertainment could use more activities for adults after the kids’ programs. I opted for a private transfer, which I highly recommend, as it only took 45 minutes instead of sitting on a coach for hours.

Let me start by saying I'm not too picky when it comes to vacations and hotels, but this was my first family trip to a European hotel—previously, we’ve stayed in Turkey and Greece. We spent 10 days here. The hotel is nice overall but seems best suited for families with kids up to 5-6 years old, couples without kids, or retirees. The entertainment options were minimal, nothing like the lively programs we were used to in Turkey. Activities mainly catered to small children. One unpleasant surprise was the extra cost for ALL drinks during dinner in the half-board option—even water and alcohol were chargeable. Is this typical across Europe, or was this just specific to the hotel? Otherwise, the hotel itself was simple but pleasant and clean. The housekeeping was efficient, with daily room cleaning and towel replacement. The rooms were spacious, and I appreciated the thoughtful placement of air conditioners in both rooms—they were directed away from the beds, allowing us to keep them on through the night without discomfort. The beach was small with lots of seaweed and algae, so we opted to visit a neighboring resort in Alcudia for our beach days. The hotel's proximity to the sea was decent and worked well for us. Now onto the FOOD!! By the second day, we could choose breakfast and dinner with our eyes closed—literally nothing changed across the menu for 10 days, not even its placement on the buffet. It was monotonous and, frankly, not very tasty, especially compared to the same type of food served in nearby street restaurants, which were miles better. If I could, I'd give the chef a piece of my mind (pardon the strong words). The pool was small and simple, mainly for young kids, with a maximum depth of 1.70 meters. There wasn’t any notable animation, but it worked for relaxing since there was no worry about getting hit by stray pool toys. The parking near the hotel was excellent—free and convenient. After everything, I still want to return to Mallorca, and maybe even to this hotel again.

The hotel was fantastic, with amazing staff and plenty of food options to choose from. The pool was lovely, and the drinks menu was exceptional, offering a great selection of cocktails. Kids were delighted with slushes and ice creams available all day long. I would highly recommend it!

The entertainment team was incredible throughout our stay. Every day offered a variety of activities like the Aquagym sessions, which were so enjoyable, and the shows were impressive, especially the enjoyable Disney show. The minidisco was fantastic as well, featuring daily themes and a small interactive theatre that made it extra special for the children. Their treatment of the kids was remarkable—kind, patient, and full of energy. Special thanks to Susana, the Head of Entertainment, and Paco, whose professionalism and attentiveness ensure the whole team works exceptionally well. They truly deliver an amazing experience daily. The entertainment was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our holiday—highly recommended!

Just got back from a 7-night stay. We stayed in a sea view room on the 3rd floor, which offered lovely views of the sea and pool. The room was spotless. Breakfast was good with plenty of variety, while the evening meals were just okay. There were plenty of sunbeds, and it was nice to see no one reserving them with towels. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the bingo—great to see Natalie still there after 4 years! Evening entertainment was good, especially Take That and Sheena. The location is excellent, flat and convenient within the resort. I’d definitely return someday, but heading to Can Picafort in August—Majorca is just fantastic!

This was our granddaughter's first holiday abroad, and we couldn’t fault the hotel—it was spotless throughout, from the rooms to the dining area, reception, and pool. The only minor negative was the lack of drawers in the rooms, as there were only open shelves. All staff, including reception, bar staff, waiters, and cleaners, were incredibly helpful. The food was good, nicely presented, and plentiful; even picky eaters would find something to enjoy. We tried all-inclusive for the first time, initially sceptical, but the service was quick, efficient, and offered plenty of variety. Although it's a family hotel, those seeking a quiet spot can head to the rooftop bar with a plunge pool and lovely views. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, and we’d be happy to return.

We arrived late in the evening and were greeted with a warm welcome and snacks. We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment with a sea view. It was spacious enough for the four of us and had a small kitchen area with a fridge. The meal options were good but could get a bit repetitive. There was also a pool bar for snacks and light meals. The drinks included Cruzcampo lager, along with a variety of spirits and cocktails. There was entertainment every night, though the quality varied. The skybar offered stunning views but is restricted to adults; however, we were allowed to visit as a family to take a photo. A free taster menu meal was also provided. The pool area was fantastic, and even though many guests reserved sunbeds, we didn’t have trouble finding one. The pools and bathrooms used salty water. Unlike most hotels we’ve experienced, inflatables were allowed, making it even more fun for kids and adults. There was also a pirate ship splash pool and another pool with day beds at the far end. The beach was about a 15-minute walk away. There’s also a land train that stops nearby, but we were told it’s unreliable, so we skipped it. We took a 30-40 minute bus ride to Alcudia, with the bus stop conveniently located near Aldi. The old town in Alcudia is definitely worth visiting. We would happily stay here again!

The hotel was outstanding, and the management truly exceptional. Our room was fantastic, located on level 10 with a gorgeous sea view in room 1019. Eugeny, one of the managers, provided outstanding care. When I fell ill and required hospital treatment, he arranged taxis and guided us on where to go. Upon returning to the hotel, he had prepared a thoughtful treat bag with food, drinks, and fruit. Moreover, he personally took us to the dining area around 1 a.m. to get tea and toast.

Amazing hotel conveniently close to the beach and shops. Everything was very clean, and the room was fabulous, especially with the added perks of a fridge and air conditioning. There was a great variety of food, and table service for drinks was a nice touch. The rooftop bar offered stunning views. Plenty of sunbeds around the different pools. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The majority of the staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We encountered no issues with any staff member during our stay. The housekeeping team deserves special recognition for their hard work, and they always had smiles on their faces. Aurora at the snack bar provided excellent service during our visit and was especially kind and attentive to our little one, which enhanced our experience. Jose M at the bar also stood out for his consistent, friendly, and efficient service, even during busy times. The entertainment team was the biggest disappointment. Outside the mini disco and evening shows, they were hardly visible during the day. Activities were poorly communicated, and guests often didn’t know what was happening. Aqua aerobics was offered only sporadically. The team also came across as impersonal, frequently passing guests without a greeting and often seeming grumpy or unapproachable. Their attitude towards some evening performers also seemed dismissive. Greater guest interaction and a friendly atmosphere around the pool would make a significant difference. The mini club was another letdown. The soft play area, tables, and facilities were noticeably dirty, which is unacceptable for a children’s area. Cleanliness should be a priority in such spaces. The rooms were clean, tidy, and comfortable. The maid service was excellent, with rooms cleaned and towels refreshed daily. The air conditioning worked well, which was much appreciated. However, the WiFi was unreliable and frequently cut out, which was frustrating. The lifts were also an inconvenience during busy times, with waits of up to ten minutes. The food offered a decent variety, though some items could have been labeled better. The restaurant setup felt disorganized, particularly during busy periods when guests struggled to find tables. It seemed understaffed, leading to longer waits and a more stressful dining experience. Having staff seat guests would improve the flow. Drink service at dinner was slow, and self-service stations for beverages like wine, beer, and soft drinks would help. Not all cocktails were included in the all-inclusive package, which felt disappointing. Also, the lack of late-night snacks after 10 pm was a downside—adding a snack bar with simple options like burgers or hot dogs would be a nice addition. The pool areas were fantastic—clean, well-maintained, and offering options for both adults and children. Sunbeds were plentiful, but getting one with a parasol required queuing early. The pools and showers used slightly salty water, which was unusual but manageable. Unfortunately, snacks weren’t allowed at the sunbeds, a restriction not seen in many other all-inclusive resorts. The location was a highlight. It’s a five-minute walk from the beach and surrounded by bars, restaurants, and shops, including a McDonald’s and nearby Aldi and Lidl supermarkets. Everything you might need is within easy reach. Overall, this isn’t a luxury resort but offers decent value for money, sitting around a three-star level. The location is fantastic, most staff are excellent, the rooms are clean, and there’s a good variety of food and facilities. However, improvements are needed in several areas, including the entertainment team, restaurant organization, WiFi, and mini club cleanliness. Despite its flaws, we had an enjoyable stay and would consider returning.

The best hotel we’ve stayed at in a while. The apartment room on the second floor met all our expectations (except for the lack of English TV channels!). A TV would have been nice, especially as we had three rainy days. Aside from this minor grievance, everything was splendid. The location on the sea front was great, the food was very good, and the cleanliness was excellent. There was a nice pool area, a large bar room, and attentive staff. We will definitely return.
