Advice Zafiro can picafort majorca or alternative for 4 year old

Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I have one little girl so try to find a holiday with kids her own age with loads of facilities. Have booked flights to majorca 7th to 14th June as got great deal. I know it's a bit early but we are going again on hols in September so needed to get a deal. I am looking at booking zafiro can picafort. Looks unreal for toddlers. Has anyone been. Is can picafort an OK resort. Was just going to go self catering. We don't drink so nightlife is not a requirement. Is there bouncy castles or anything on the beach. Is the walk OK from the hotel.

Is there anywhere else people recommend for that age. She loves splash parks with slides. Playground and of course mini disco. We went to protur bonaire last summer which was amazing. Was considering protur safari Park but read a lot about hand foot and mouth

Any day trips people recommend for that age. Her birthday is during our holiday so will try do something really fun that day.

Sorry for long post

No advice but following your post! I'm currently looking to book our summer holiday and this hotel is top of my shortlist so I'd really like to know if anyone has been. I've looked through the first 7 pages of trip advisor reviews and it all seems good.

I've been...it is a really nice hotel...perfect age for your little one. If you can afford it zafiro palace Alcudia is much nicer! Can Picafort is not a great town if I'm honest

Yes that's the only thing putting me off not sure if can picafort itself is nice. What zafiro Palace alcudia like for kids thanks

We went last year and it was brilliant. There’s not much to the town but the beach is nice and not far from the hotel.
Normally we like a bit of exploring but we’d had a stressful few months so given there was so much for DC to do we ended up quite happily swimming, relaxing, eating and drinking the week away!

(It took nearly two hours on the transfer bus tho so pack plenty snacks and take games/iPad etc to pass the time on the way there - it’s the last dropoff point).
Oh, ps it also has resort checkin which was brill as we didn’t have to queue or deal with our bags on the way home.

We went this year with 2 young children, I’d highly recommend it, bouncy castle playground kids activities all day and mini disco, good pools and the food was great, nice beach too. I want to try a different country next year but I plan to go back.

Yes it does look really good. Is there places to eat nearby as we had hoped to go self catering as all inclusive is 850 euro extra and we don't drink. Is there a bakery on site or anything or near the resort. Also I read somewhere there is a big hill on way back to hotel is this true. Thanks

There’s nowhere to shop/eat within the hotel area. There’s bars and restaurants down by the beach/town centre though. Oh actually, there’s a very small shop onsite for the essentials but it’s not cheap!

The hill is ok. It’s in two parts. First part from hotel down to main road is fine as you go through a (slightly ramshackle but totally shaded) park so the kids don’t notice the hill either direction. Second part is down through a residential area and it’s not that far but it certainly feels it in the sun!

Tbf if it’s £825 for the whole family to go all inclusive you’ll get your money’s worth even without booze. It’s bliss being able to swim up to the pool bar and eat as many ice creams as you like without ‘paying’ for it and there are a couple of restaurants and bars onsite to choose from.

Is it same price to upgrade when you get there usually. Also is pool view room worth the extra. We are trying to save a few pounds on this holiday as going to cambrils park resort in September
