Allow a 15–25-minute walk to reach the beach, and plan ahead because taxis can be difficult to find for the return journey.
What guests mention
Guests tend to rate this as a pleasant, clean and family-friendly resort, especially appreciating the large modern rooms, cared-for pools and welcoming staff. Entertainment and children’s facilities are popular, while the quieter setting and nearby transport appeal to those happy to be a little outside central Ca’n Picafort. On the less positive side, the gym is modest, pool loungers may be difficult to find, and waiting times can rise during busy periods. Some guests also question the value once additional costs and package restrictions are taken into account.

About Caprice Vell Marí Hotel & Resort
Caprice Vell Marí Hotel & Resort is a family-focused apartment resort set among generous gardens and pine-shaded grounds on Mallorca’s north coast. Its mood is easy-going rather than flashy: children have their own programme at the Pongus club, while adults can settle in beside the pool with a drink, join in with activities or simply enjoy the leafy setting. Expect plenty of space to spread out, with family stays clearly at the heart of the experience.
The hotel sits in a peaceful residential part of Ca’n Picafort, close to Son Bauló beach and within reach of the town’s shops, dining and seafront. A bus stop nearby makes getting around easier, though the livelier central areas are not right outside the door. It suits families wanting pools, activities and a quieter base particularly well; couples looking for a buzzy, walk-everywhere holiday may prefer to be closer to the promenade.
Guests regularly praise the roomy, contemporary accommodation, the tidiness of the grounds and rooms, and the warm manner of the team. Families often enjoy the entertainment, snack-bar breaks and pool time, including aqua aerobics. The recurring caveats are practical ones: sunbeds can be in demand, service can occasionally be slow at busy times, and some feel extras and the limits of the inclusive offering make the stay less good value than expected.
