Hotel Picafort Park

We chose this hotel for our first ever package holiday (we are both in our 50`s) on the basis that my partner liked the photo of the reception area. However, I don't believe we could have chosen anywhere better if we'd tried. The hotel is in the middle of a residential area of Ca’n Picafort, its approximately 5 minutes walk from the main promenade which heads in one direction to a beach and the other to the busy town of Ca`n Picafort which is around 15 minutes walk away. The hotel grounds are large and lush, lots of grassy areas and a HUGE pool with a ramp access. The rooms are in three storey blocks (fortunately it didn’t rain while we were there) and the restaurant and communal areas have recently been refurbished to a very high standard. The rooms aren’t huge but have the most comfortable memory foam mattresses, a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and a TV with british channels. The rooms are badly in need of a revamp, the bathrooms was very dated and although spotless, could have done with new tiling and an up to date shower. The food was exemplary, we were there for two weeks and there was something different to try every night. The entertainment was varied in type, comedians, Bands, singers variety acts etc. Not all was to everyone’s taste but you dont have to watch! The staff were helpful, friendly and approachable. We hired a car for 5 days from the hotel and all insurances were included in the price. One of the things we did like is that although we weren’t all inclusive we didn’t feel as if the hotel were taking advantage of guests that chose half board. Pool bar snacks were very reasonable and a bottle of house wine was 5 Euro. The restaurant staff would also label any wine left so it could be kept until the following night. All in all this was a very restful and satisfying experience and we will definitely be back.

Last minute booking therefore I should have realised what the standard would be. The hotel itself is pleasant rooms are adequate size and clean. Sunbed area, pool, bar and the reception area are fairly non descript. The Spanish staff are all pleasant to a point but I got the feeling that they were so fed up with rude older British holiday makers that if they could ignore you then they would. There were a lot of “returning” British couples and it was not difficult to see why!!!! They were obviously all inclusive and sat at the tables outside the bar all day drinking....the staff were happy enough to continue to serve them (tips were involved) not only glasses of wine but bottles at a time!!!! Sure enough one evening one of the guests was so drunk he fell all over tables on his way to the restroom and then urinated all over himself......nice.....by the way for the next week that we stayed he showed no remorse and continued his intake of weekly units on an hourly basis. The Scottish manager is pleasant when first introduced but if you have any requests ie..birthday or similar then don’t bother asking her to help. She may say she will deliver items but nothing will turn up ie. birthday cake and she will avoid you the remainder of your time (unless you are guzzling wine at the bar all day). The TUI reps are about 12 and whilst they do their best they are painful to watch. The lad named Daniel or Adam ....not sure really what he was called as he is not really interested in talking to you or making eye contact. It’s all about him.......if you go or have been you will understand. The only redeeming feature about this hotel is their lovely restaurant and wonderful restaurant manager and waiters. All do their utmost to make sure you have had a nice meal and the food is good. Go out of the hotel before the cabaret starts in the evening!!! Back in time to at least 1980s but if that is your ting then you will like it. Just hope that you don’t sit beside the aforementioned wine guzzling Brits because I am sure they will go back. Needless to say that the sun beds are usually booked by 8am by the rude coffin dodgers who don’t even come down to the pool until after 12 noon!! Obviously will not be back.

Pica fort Park hotel is well laid out with ample room for sunbathing and plenty of sunbeds. The staff are friendly and nothing is a bother for them. The rooms are clean and comfortable. A great adults only hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
