Just returned from 2 weeks in this hotel and we had a great time. Everywhere was cleaned thoroughly everyday although the furnishings are very dated and the rooms are very small. They are also a little noisy - the walls are paper thin for you to hear your neighbours and passing guests on the corridor and we were on the third floor and could clearly hear the entertainment if you went to bed before midnight - if you changed rooms the the front of the hotel you could hear the traffic! Certainly not enough to put you off though.
Entertainment was good but there are plenty of bars around which provide a great night out also - you have to try the "Red Lion" on the sea front and the road next to the hotel on your right has three good english bars. The kids club did their best however dont expect too much - just drawing and sticking in a small rooms below stairs but Becki and Matt did a sterling job with kids and adults alike.
The food is without a doubt the best I have ever encountered on a package holiday. The choice is exceptional and all well cooked.
All in all a great base for a basic, clean holiday.

We couldn`t have asked for any more in a holiday. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to the beach, the hotel itself is everything a young family could ask for.
Plenty of activities all day and into the night for children and adults alike.
The food was great everyday and the breakfast filled a hole till teatime.
Staff in all aspects of the hotel were friendly and polite.
We found all areas of the hotel to be clean and tidy.
A local's supermarket opposite the hotel was very cheap and good for snacks and drinks.
We also recommend a pub down the road called the sun-burnt arms, plenty to do for the kids and again for the parents.
We went back in 2007 and have booked for this year.

The Haiti gives you more than you would expect from a package holiday hotel.
A good choice of food, friendly and competent staff both in the dining hall and the bar plus a location just right for the beach and shops.
However I have rated the entertainment low not for the quality of the cabaret but for the lack of keeping guests entertained prior to cabaret time. Might I suggest a game of bingo or a quiz.

The attitude of the staff varied. Reception staff were very rude and did not speak an awful lot of English. They did not seem to be in a rush to help either.
Entertainment staff were friendly enough and always tried their best, with "crazy party mix" a particular highlight. The maids and restaurant staff were friendly, courteus and helpful in the extreme.
The food was exceptional, always prepared and presented well and always varied for kids and adults alike. The hotel in general was clean and well maintained, the pool immaculate and the centre of all the fun.
Hotel Haiti is located perfectly, only 5 minutes walk to the beach and town centre, and although situated on a main road, this is not a problem in terms of noise.
Definitely worth a repeat visit.

Lovely Hotel! We were a bit cautious of booking having read previous reviews on this hotel. However, it was fab and we had a lovely time and had no complaints. The food was lovely, and very well presented. The only downside was that there was hardly any 'Mallorcan' dishes and it would have been nice to try something typical to the resort. Our room was good. Cleaned everyday and beds made. Our beds had funny squeeky sheets on them which were a bit frustrating as I woke up from the sound everytime I turned over but I took it off after the first night and slept fine from then on! Our balcony overlooked the main road but this was not a problem as during the day it was too hot to open the balcony door and during the night it was pretty quiet. Only annoying thing was the disco noise coming from the hotel across the other side of the road. It is a fair distance away but they have the disco and bar outside and the music is very loud until late in the evening. Not a problem for me personally but the kids found it difficult to sleep.
I have no complaints about the staff. They were all friendly and although some did speak little english they were all very willing to help. At the end of the day your in Spain and shouldn't expect everyone to speak fluent English!
The pool didn't have a lifeguard but I don't think any of the hotels in the resort had one and we didn't expect one anyway.
The entertainment was ok. The kids loved it (8yrs, 1yr & 3yrs)and there was things to keep them occupied until 9.30pm. After that the entertainment became more adult orientated but nothing that I minded my kids seeing and trust me, I am a fussy parent!
All in all a lovely hotel and if I were to go back to C'an Picafort I would stay there again.

We found the hotel to be extremely clean. The cleaning staff were most obliging. The food was excellent and plentiful. On the minus side, there was a lack of ability to speak English on the part of the staff.
Although one receptionist actually was English, he was employed on night duty only, which wasn't exactly helpful when you needed him during the day.
The entertainment provided by outside acts was 'cheesy' and, on one night, downright 'sleazy'. My family and I avoided it at all costs. One night, however, we came back to the hotel early and our young daughter went to watch the show.
We endeavoured to get through the audience to get her out of there as it was quite obvious that, despite having a large family clientele, the entertainment was anything but that destined for family viewing.
One female member of the audience finished up with an entertainer jumping on her and simulating sex with young children milling about!!! This same entertainer then disappeared into a side room, changed costume and, while my back was turned, grabbed my buttocks and dug his nails in! This was like something out of a 'Carry On' movie and totally unacceptable. I issued a formal complaint to the hotel and the Thompson's representative. During the whole of the period we were there - 11 days - only one act was 'worth its salt' and that was 'Davidoff the magician'.
The hotel pool did not have a lifeguard. A fact I found disturbing as there quite clearly should have been one.
Despite these issues, we would perhaps return to the hotel in a few years time but would make every effort to avoid the entertainment and over enthusiastic entertainers!

This was my second time at the Haiti and I've already booked again for next summer. This is a superb family hotel.
Cleanliness: It is one of the cleanest hotels I've ever visited. The cleaning staff work exceptionally hard. A lovely touch this year was our maid placed my daughters teddy in various "sunbathing" poses throughout the hotel room after cleaning each day. Something which delighted my daughter. A very simple thought but much appreciated.
Foodwise: The only complaint I could raise is that if you're a non-meat eater, you could be stuck, even the salads contained meat. There was virtually no consideration to veggies. However, as a meat eater the meals on offer were great, and the meaty salads were superb! (sorry!).
The reception staff are friendly, the bar-staff deserve a special mention for their friendliness and efficiency (they serve "chippies" for lunch and hunt out crisps for the picky eaters late into the night -they also seem to go out of there way to make a fuss of children so special thank you Estoban, Paco, David and Carlos).
The entertainment is the only negative note. The evening entertainment room was far too hot and the view is restricted. The entertainment brought in from outside relied on too many "Tribute" acts. However top marks to what I think were the Haiti hotel's entertainment team.
Louise and the huge Dutch guy who went out of their way to ensure everyone had a fantastic time. Well done to the pair of them. They were brilliant.

Having just returned from a weeks holiday at the Haiti Hotel, we found it to be very clean and tidy with all staff being extremely helpful. However, the location of the hotel we found to be noisy when sunbathing and at night due to the close proximity of a dual carriageway where the local youths cruise day and night. Additionally, entertainment finished at 11pm and this left teenagers with nothing to do but roam the corridors creating annoyance to other residents. We found this was not a relaxing holiday due to the excessive noise from rooms above and to either side (marble floors - people coming in late at night/early morning moving furniture, etc, etc). Sleep disrupted by families returning to rooms, kids running along corridors, screaming whatever time, day or night. Pool very small for the number of guests - children left unsupervised with no lifeguard (we did see one child being dragged from pool during our stay which was rather alarming).
Food we found to be varied and in plentiful supply. Restaurant staff very helpful. Bar staff very helpful too.
Hotel entertainment OK - while adults watching acts kids wanted outside to play - only problem was that the kids playpark was out of sight of hotel the bar area and was completely unlit. Older kids were found drinking in this area. It is a shame as this is a lovely Hotel just far too noisy and busy for us. Oh.....and yes..... watch out for the bed legs - Ouch!!

When we arrived in Palma airport we jumped on our coach to take us to the hotel. Well I thought that we woud never get there,seemed to be on the coach for ages and with a two year old and a eight year old it was hard work.
Upon arrival our room was not ready,and when it was, it was tiny. There was no cot for my daughter wich was soon resolved but the state of the cot was poor plus there was no room left to get to the wardrobe,so we put the cot on the landing and pushed three beds of all different heights together. Needles to say we all had a sleepless week and was glad to go home.
Food:-food was repetetive,had to pay for water,was overly priced,and to top it all off I had a maggot in my potato.
Can Picfort:- not a great deal there. Boring really alright if you like to stay by the pool all day. Would never go back there.
Must do:- Visit the London pub wich we did every night I cant remember the mans name now but he gave us all a great welcome and loked after us. Very very friendly, and our rep was also great....
