Vell Mari Hotel & Resort

3 star... and I'm being generous!! The rooms and hotel itself are run down and need a face lift! The food is ok!! Cooked well, but lacks in variety and very repetitive. Especially the snack bar... burger, pizza, and hotdogs every day, and not fresh. Staff are excellent 👌 entertainment was good. My girls enjoyed ABBA night!! Pool area... pool not heated, but once ur in ur in 🤣 umbrellas falling over in the wind 🤣. Loungers a massive positive. No towells allowed before 10.00. £3.50 daily charge for the room safe. Plus £5 deposit. Transfer 1.30 minutes by coach. Reading this back all sounds negative.🙈 we had a lovely couple of days, and made the most of it. wouldn't return to the hotel, but loved can picafort!!

We chose this hotel for convenience of visiting the S'Albufera Parc Natural. Our room had a kitchenette with fridge, microwave and 2-ring hob but no pots to cook on the hob. A kettle can apparently be obtained from reception (we had our own). The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of wardrobe space. We stayed HB+. There was a wide variety of self service dishes at Breakfast and for Evening Meal with one counter serving fresh cooked dishes. Disappointingly the breakfast cook tended to focus on mass producing pancakes from both hot plates and there were mornings when I was unable to enjoy a fresh hot fried egg unless I was prepared for a verrrry long wait. It's impossible to make a decent cup of Breakfast Tea with the "warm" water in the restaurant. It's just not hot enough. (The Te Rojo Pu-eth Tea works better in the warm aqua from the coffee machine). The copious tree canopy shades the room balconies and the gardens (refreshing in the height of summer but can be a little chilly in April). The pool area is sunny and round the rear of the grounds by the boules court is sunny and peaceful but there's no seats to sit quietly in the sun away from the loud music by the pool. The room door-lock key-cards can be unreliable. Ours failed 3 times and each time I had to make the long trip to reception to get it re-programmed. A neighboring guest's card had also failed twice. Reception tried to blame it on my smart phone but I don't have one. Out & About: It's a 5 minute run or 15 minute leisurely walk to the sea front and then a further 10 minutes walk left or right to get to a sandy beach. Public service buses can be boarded at the terminus at the rear of the hotel behind the tennis courts. The 324 runs past the S'Albufera Parc Natural (on a par with Slimbridge but free to enter and without commercialization). Pay with a card on the bus; it's cheaper and quicker than cash - tap when you get on and tap again when you get off.

Good hotel with spacious rooms. The food was tasty but not hot enough and some more labels would be helpful so we would be tempted to try new things. The restaurant got very full at times.

So where to start, well the journey from the airport is 2 hours depending on how many drop offs there are. The receptionist are lovely although are rooms was not ready. After checking in we went for lunch in the snack bar which is the same as any others burgers hotdogs chips which was dry and salad, no ice-cream for the kids you at to buy them. The food and n the restaurant catered mainly for French not much for the kids. Towards the end of our stay there was no bacon and the guy on the grill kept disappearing so no eggs either. After we was allocated rooms as a party of 9 we had 1 downstairs and 2 on the first floor they was clean and mattresses was comfortable. The pool area doesn’t open until 9:30 and god help you if you go before the pool man will chuck your towels out, he was as miserable as sin. There was plenty off sun beds though. The pool itself opens at 10:00 and it’s freezing. Activities well it said daytime but we never saw any or the staff unless you was French they never spoke either. Nighttime for kids was mini disco then nothing we had a show 3 times in the 10 days we was there very poor. There is a bus stop at the back off the hotel which takes you to alcudia and a mini train which will take you down to the sea front. We walked it’s about 15mins to walk. Would I go there again no.

Stay for 5 nights inclusive. Hotel ground is beautiful. Love the high trees.. Feel so natural. Food are delicious, thou sometimes the food label is hard to find. No alternative sausages only pork sausages, but all good, plenty of seafood choices, which I love. My boy loves the burger in the snack bar😁. We don't drink alcohol, but the non alcohol pinacolada and hot chocolate at the bar are our favourite. Our room is near the bus stop, so a bit noisy. In other hand, it's super handy for us If we want to use bus😁. Local Bus services are brilliant and and only cost around 5 euro return to anywhere around Alcudia. We took bus no. 324 to old town and Alcudia beach, and playa de muro. Room interior is a bit outdated.. But all work properly and room were cleaned every day. Bed is comfy.. So it's all good. Swimming pool is beautiful only the water is cold😁. There was no big entertainment when we were there. Only small mini disco at indoor bar. There's the beach near by, son baulo beach... Not a big beach though. Take the 324 bus to Alcudia beach for the best beach. Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back again.

Lovely staff, helpful and friendly. Place is kept clean at all times. Swimming was fabulous and on colder days a heated indoor pool available! I asked for a kettle, got one on deposit no bother? All in all we relaxed and enjoyed it here and loved beach n town. Will return.

This hotel is not too bad. Rooms are tired and dated and no kettle in our room, which I think should be as standard. When we asked at reception, they told us all their kettles were 'rented ' out and there were no more. We ended up boiling water in the microwave, not ideal. Pool and pool area Spotless. Only tea/coffee/hot water machines in dining room on for breakfast. The pool bar had hot drinks but closed at 6 30pm. Beer ok. Food ok, but not too our liking hardly any chicken dishes at all,fish and meat in oily sauces. Breakfast good, selection of hot food ,pastries,eggs etc. Dining room staff very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't stay here again

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights all inclusive. The hotel staff was always very helpful and on hand. We arrived well after midnight and we're still offered food and drink at the restaurant. The grounds are very well maintained and clean. Playground in shaded area was great for children to play even on the hot day. Restaurant had plenty of food to choose from during meal times, and selection of snacks and fresh fruit were avaible throughout the day at the pool bar. The rooms themselves were a bit dated but clean and fresh towels were provided daily. There was a small kitchenette with a hob but it was useless as there was no kettle or pot to use. The fridge looked old and was quite noisy. Local town was lovely with beautiful beach, just 15min walk away from the hotel.

Just had a 3 night stay all inclusive with a group of 6 brothers and sisters in our 60’s. Great staff, food and value for money, Having stayed in 7 different hotels in Can Picafort this hotel is well due a refurbishment. We booked 3 rooms and were unfortunately given 3 rooms in totally different blocks which was quite inconvenient. Rooms spacious but with dark brown cupboards and furniture 25 years out of date. Microwave and stove ( not necessary as All inclusive but not kettle). Toiletries basic, ie, just a soap dispenser. The UK channels in our room were unobtainable but in other rooms working. A hazard to point out are the pavement Lights on the way to blocks 2 and 3 not working ( take a torch) quite dangerous, apart from that all good.
