Zafiro Can Picafort

On arrival we were told we'd be able to extend the room considering we wouldn't be picked up until 6pm. So have turned up to confirm and as we are not 'on the list' we have to pack up early. Sunbeds - if you want one with shade (the parasols are attached to the ground and cannot be moved), you need to be at the pool by 7am. The prime locations near the pool bar are all taken a lot earlier, have been down at just before 7am and the whole area is carpeted by blue towels with not a soul in sight. Kids entertainment starts way too early, it's so hot it's unbearable. Whole hotel basically shuts down at 10pm. The beach is nice and sandy with crystal clear waters but expect it to be packed. Food is okay, what you'd expect from an all inclusive and staff are great. The Italian wasn't open for our stay, we are at the pool restaurant and the grill, just great to get away from the crowds. No issues with the main restaurant, it's never been crowded that we had to wait, guess that's from going down for dinner at 7.30-8pm. Beer is good and so are the cocktails. You do queue for drinks but not for too long. Kids loved the all you can raid ice cream freezer and dispenser by the wet bar. easyJet transfer to the hotel took 3 hours, in town a taxi to the airport is just about €90. Especially on the way to the hotel, if you don't want to hang around and get a view of all the other hotels, as the Zafiro was last, then jump in a cab. Journey back isn't as important, just want you make the most of it while you can. Downgraded as we were told we could extend, and know block 2 is used for overflow but bluntly told we were not on the list it was a no.

We had a brilliant time at this hotel we are a family of 4 with 2 little ones. Our highlights were the food, drinks, pool bubble, pirate pool and the comfortable beds at smaller pool. We would spend mornings at the beach only a 10 min walk away and afternoons at pool. We ate in all the restaurants and loved having lunch at the pool bar and our favourite meal was at the pool restaurant too! Would like to call out all the amazing staff that work at this hotel, the bar staff, restaurant staff, entertainment team, cleaning team, lifeguards, the list goes on so many people making it a great hotel. I also spotted the GM walking round on loads of occasions and engaging with her team. Don’t let some of the reviews put you off booking, the rooms might need modernising but they are clean and the beds are very comfortable. There is a charge for a the use of a travel cot I do think this should be embedded in the price but it was a good cot and our child slept well in it. You can’t control the air con from your room as centrally controlled however it was also nice and cool. We had the basic room and did think the garden rooms would have been quite nice to stay in and the swim up rooms also looked great. We don’t like to claim sun loungers with towels but there was always plenty of space when we were there to find somewhere in the shade. I’ve only taken pictures of my burger meals but I mostly ate the salads which were fresh and tasty!

Lovely family hotel. Can't fault the food, drinks and rooms. Huge selection of food to eat, including lots of typically spanish food which is refreshing to see as sometimes all inclusive places get this wrong. Our room was very big and clean. Sunbeds were the usual fight to reserve but we were there in August. Hotel is not far from the beach/ shops. Staff friendly. Grounds could do with a bit of tlc, but over all ok. Room key as a bracelet/ room tab is a great idea. Kids loved the pool, especially the bubble. Adults loved the swim up bar!

We had a brilliant stay at this family-friendly hotel. The splash park with slides was amazing – our 2-year-old went from being scared on day one to never wanting to leave! The buffet always had plenty of choice (the omelette chef in the mornings is fantastic), and the à la carte restaurants and poolside lunches were excellent. Entertainment is mixed – the kids loved the mini disco, and there’s usually a fun phone-based quiz each night, but we were mostly too tired to stay up late anyway. Staff are great, sunbeds are plentiful, and practical touches like an Aldi nearby are handy (the on-site shop is pricier). Top tip: Bring mosquito spray – you’ll need it in the evenings!

Lovely hotel, reception staff are so welcoming. The lifeguards interacted with my 3 year old son. Swim up pools are lovely and clean, room and whole hotel is amazing, this was our 2nd visit in 12 weeks. Only down fall is the walk through park up hill to beach
