We stayed half board for 10 nights with 4 yo and 1 yo. This was our second stay at a Zafiro following a holiday last year in Menorca. On that basis we knew the set up that we had signed up for and were pleasantly surprised that the Can Picafort Hotel was a notch above last year. The hotel is approx 50 min drive from PMI. Great location to explore the local area. We enjoyed trips to Soller, Polenca, Alcudia, Porto Cristo, Cala Vincente, Cala Muro, Cala Mesquida and many more. Also visited a local winery too only 10 mins away. 5 min walk through the park to Aldi and 10 mins to the local beach. Our room was nicely positioned on the top floor and away from the entertainment so was nice and quiet on evenings. Lovely views of the pool for evenings on the balcony. Kids splash pool was enjoyed by both our children. All pools were very cold in May. We took wetsuits to take the edge off but it’s a shame they can’t be heated further. There is a free bouncy castle and golf available on site too which we enjoyed. The buffet is a good quality, fresh food with plenty of healthy options and lots of vegetables. As with any buffet, with all best efforts by Day 10 you know the drill and it all feels a bit samey. A great effort was made to provide variety with themes Mexican and Asian nights. For both breakfast and dinner the general grill management (same employee) was poor. Often instances of nothing available or even cooking. He seemed to struggle and perhaps needed more support. The room was spacious with bath and shower which is great for the littles. As with Menorca I think paying additional charges for a baby cot is unreasonable at a 4* resort and is a shame this continues. The air conditioning only really started working on day 5, prior to that it was on low and making little impact. We asked that maintenance dealt with a squeaky door which was addressed straight away. The living room for our kids was lit up with lights from TV and other electricals. We had to cover them to limit sleep disturbance. The curtains could also be much better to give full black out. We brought our own luckily. Overall good stay, we would return and recommend. Great memories made both inside and outside the resort.
