Beach good and plenty of shops and places to eat. I can't really comment more on the resort as we stayed mainly in the hotel

Nice pleaseant walk to/from the beach, plenty of shops (to the hubby's dismay). Wish the drivers would slow down a bit though. My heart was in my mouth trying to cross the road each time I ventured out :(

A very pretty coastal resort, ideal for young families. Gently shelving beach and warm sea, perfect for toddlers and young children to explore.

Overall Resort Rating:

Very Good

We tended to stay within the village, and did not eat in the town centre (as the village was so good!). If you want to taste the nightlife it is within 10 minute walk, but as we had a young family we didn't go down that avenue. The food at Viva is very high standard with 3 Al carte waiter styles nights.

"What we thought !"

Overall Resort Rating:

Average

The beach was lovely but the town itself was very average and did not appeal to us at night for a stroll out, did not feel 100% safe. Also in our 2nd week - they skateboard park had a "rave" on. The hotel advised us that it was a carnival and on until the early hours. The music (thumping noise) stopped at 7.30 am !!

"Plenty to do"

Good

Only walked there a couple of times, which was a 10 min walk. Plenty of shops and bars. Beech looked clean, but the walk from the hotel to the town was a bit messey and unkept.

"Can Picafort"

Overall Resort Rating:

Good

Open quote

The surrounding area wasn't much to look at, there is a park just down the road which the children enjoyed. A broken spirits bottle remained on the path by the park the whole week as well as some dog mess. I slipped a few times on the pavement as it is tiled in places and also broken in others. The main beachfront was quite nice, we didn't sample the food or drink as we only ate and drank in the hotel.

Small but friendly resort. Lovely for a beer and chill out looking over the beach. A must is a walk down the promenade on a evening, really busy with families enjoying the warm evenings.

"viva review"

Overall Resort Rating:

Below Average

This was our first trip to Majorca.

Can Picafort is full of German tourists. As a resort it is OK. The sandy beaches are great as is the surf when there is some wind,

Food and drink is expensive, but it is in most of Europe. 4.25 euros for a small bottle of lemon fanta at one bar was not very impressive. We had a meal on the first night in a promenade cafe / restaurant which was unimpressive and we did not find anywhere else that looked nice to eat in Can Picafort.

There were a couple of nice bars, but generally we were not very impressed. I would definately not recommend it for 17-25 year olds who want to party.

We hired a car, which is an absolute must, and this enabled us to visit lots of places and eat in some nice restaurants.

A quick review of places visited:

1. Pollenca - worth a visit ; walk the 365 steps to the chapel & drink at a cafe in the square

2. Port de Pollenca - best place visited that we would have prefered to have been based at ; lovely restaurants and atmosphere ; great beach but look out for jellfish ; mostly English

3. Alcudia - nice place at night ; lovely restaurants and atmosphere especially on the quayside ; mostly English

4. Platja de Muro ; nice beaches ; lots of tourist shops ; worth a visit at night

5. Colonia de Sant Pere ; off the beaten track gem ; small village with restaurants by the sea. We had an excellant meal at one of them watching the sunset.

6. Betlem ; off the beaten track again next to Colonia ; We had an excellant meal at one of them watching the sunset.

7. Arta ; worth a quick visit for a drink and walk up to the chapel for great views.

8. Cala Mesquida ; nice beach ; mostly all German toursists.

9. Cala Rajada ; dirty and a bit scruffy ; mostly all German tourists. The beach and surf were excellant though. We returned at night and had an excellant meal at mamma pizza and drinks at a lovely bar and enjoyed the atmosphere.

10. Cala Bona ; alright for a walk and drink ; didnt stop long.

11. Cala Millor ; excellant beach and surf which we went to twice.

12. Platja de sa Coma ; excellant beach ; but the rest didnt appeal.

13. Porto Cristo ; scruffy and disappointing ; didnt stop long.

14. S'llot ; scruffy ; didnt stop long

Overall verdict

Only stay in the north of the island for 1 week, and base yourself near Port de Pollenca.

Hire a car and visit the best places listed above.

We would only return to Majorca for a 4 day city break to Palma.

We only went into the resort a few times the beach is around 10-15minutes walk away, although its a quite nice stroll. The beach is lovely very clean and the sea is very shallow for quite a long way out which is perfect for small children. Plenty of shops on the seafront and also bars and restaurant although we didn't use the bars as we were all inclusive
