Caprice Concord Hotel & Spa, Ca'n Picafort

Pay extra for a sea-view room; the views are excellent, rooms can be larger and quieter, and the waves provide a memorable soundtrack.

Book a superior sea-view room on the fourth floor for renovated accommodation, extra comfort and an excellent outlook.

Request a top-floor room, preferably level 4, for renovated accommodation, quieter nights and the best views.

Use the sunbeds without reserving them; staff remove towels after more than 30 minutes away outside meal times.

Eat breakfast on the terrace when weather permits, and choose a shaded table if sitting outside.

Choose a street-facing room for afternoon and evening balcony sun, but expect some road or bus-stop noise.

Explore on foot around the quiet hotel area, where restaurants and local facilities are within walking distance.

Choose an all-inclusive package for a more convenient stay.

Book Gold All Inclusive if available; paying extra is considered worthwhile.

Remember that the main swimming pool is across the road.

Check which part of the pool area is sunny before choosing a sunbed, as sunlight shifts throughout the day.

Check the in-room Wi-Fi on arrival and report any connection problems.

Bring clothes pegs to secure swimsuits and clothing on the balcony dryer.

Request room 207 for evening sun on the balcony and views of the bar entertainment, with some bus-stop noise.

Request a rear sea-view room on the third or fourth floor.

Consider a second-floor sea-view room for a well-balanced outlook.

Request room 417 for a top-floor sea view.

Plan independent activities because the hotel offers little entertainment.

Use the sister hotel Janeiro across the road if you want additional facilities.

Leave toiletries and small essentials at home, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, cotton buds, shoe polish, sewing kits, shower caps and shampoo.

Bring an insulated water bottle; several refill points provide ice-cold water.

Avoid the nearby land train because its driving was reported as unsafe and its driver rude.

Use the free dedicated bike garage if cycling during your stay.

Walk around the city confidently, including alone, as the area is considered very safe.

Walk along the esplanade for a particularly scenic outing.

Wear comfortable shoes for the excellent local walks.

Join Michael’s morning classes for a refreshing start to the day.

Bring a deposit for beach towels.
