Hotel Haiti Reviews
" enjoyable "
Submitted By: tilleymint
We stayed there last week the hotel itself is very clean although we heard it was closing at the end of the season for refurbishmenat and being upgraded to a 4star. I read a lot of the reviews before I booked it and was sceptical, the entertainment was very good, the food was repetitive although plentiful, the rooms basic and very clean and yes we did keep bashing our toes on the bed ends that stuck out!! and there were children in the lounge at night although not behaving badly, we had a great time, there are lots of bars and places to eat and a lovely promenade,we would return again as there is still loads to see around the area and 1 week wasn't really long enough the Hotel Haiti is good value and we would visit again.
Advice: expore the area there is a lot more there than you think
Activities: the red lion great place and a hugh welcome. also trotters bar on the beach.

" Enjoyable "
Submitted By: hull tiger
Nice 3 star hotel, very clean, food could do with a bit more choice but very hot and enjoyable, nice showroom with good seating outside which we could hear the music but much cooler and less smoke, pool good but goes deep very quickly, rooms ideal for two people but there was three of us and it didn,t bother us, the rooms are beeen refurbished during the winter months so should be very nice, overall would we go back and the answer is yes. the resort itself is a nice family resort with a lovely beech, there are not many english bars but one of the best we found was trotters bar right on the sea front, at 1.75 euros a pint and a nice atmosphere we found this good value. if anything i could recommend for the resort it would be a crazy golf because of the amount of familysthat were there. Tips a good supermarket 40 mts from the hotel so use it, make sure you pick up your free green banana card from your rep because you recieve a further 10% off the bill at a number of bars including trotters. Warning some friends we met went on the pirate night and said the show was great but the food for what they paid was very poor
Advice: Nice family resort, not for young groups
Activities: trotters bar

" Don´t come here - poor service and manners "
Submitted By: D Richardson
Ok, just don´t come here unless you want, 2 year olds in the bar until 11 pm plus, no sun beds, bad mannered waiting staff in the restaurant (compulsory slamming of pots, snatching of plates and walking in front of you) and then the expectation of a tip - almost begging it´s that bad. Having to baby sit other people's kids that are constantly running up and down the corridors, the bar and laid on the floor, no TVs in the room.
Got a room over looking the petrol station, terrible noise all day and evening , no view and told hotel too full to help.
Check this hotel on the internet it says there are activities for kids - my 14 year old has been bored stiff - only a terrible quiz with no prize - not even an ice cream. Water polo in the afternoon in about a 1/5 of the pool.
Thomson reps not interested unless you want to buy, buy, buy - Thomson bye to you won´t be coming to Haiti again or using Thomson.

" The Harveys "
Submitted By: big H
The resort of C`an Picafort was absolutely spotless as was the hotel . Although the entrance to the hotel was on a busy road , it was well situated with a large supermarket ( which was used by the natives ) across the road , and the beach was a 5 minute walk away .
Our board was HB and we had no complaints whatsoever , in fact this was the most my 2 kids ( 7 & 12 ) have ever eaten on holiday , with plenty of fruit available at both breakfast and evening meals . We generally bought our lunch at the hotel , and again , no complaints with the quality , service or price . Drink wise it was really expensive ( 2.8 per pint , 3.5 for a Smirnoff & 6.5 for a Johnny Walker Black Label ) , but I had the foresight to bring a cool bag , so we just bought 2 bags of ice every morning and filled it with San Miguel for myself & juice for my wife and kids bought from the supermarket .The folks working on reception were brilliant , I had the misfortune to be stung by a wasp & bang my head in the supermarket car park ( 2 separate incidents ) but the woman in reception patched me up both times . As for the maids , they did a sterling job , every morning our room looking like a bomb had went off in it , and it was spotless again after they did their stuff .The only problem with the rooms , as has been reported by a few folk was stubbing your toes on the bed legs , we got round that by blowing up armbands and putting them round the legs , thus eradicating that problem .
The pool was a nightmare , I found it deceptively deep . On my 1st day , I walked down the steps into the pool not realizing that the last step was big drop , and as I'm a non swimmer , I almost drowned - so be warned .
The only First Choice Rep we had any contact with was ……… who was excellent . My father took unwell on our 3rd day and had to spend 3 days in hospital , but she was always on hand for any help or advice , so cheers .
The entertainment was ok , it was really hit & miss with them . The contortionist show was brilliant as was ……………. , but " Back to the 70`s" was a total waste of time. As for the hotel entertainers , their remit was a quiz in the morning , which we won twice ( The Harvey Wall bangers ) ,and a game of some sort in the afternoon . The evening consisted of a kiddies disco , then bingo , then the acts which were brought in . The downside of the entertainment was that it was all inside , and I would reckon about 70% of folk smoked . Now I found it astonishing that people with kids would sit in such a smoky environment and be smoking over not only their own kids , but other peoples kids as well , babies included . We ultimately sat outside and listened to and watched the entertainment through the window .
All in all , the Harvey's ( Stephen , Jakki , Aimee 12 & Jade 7 ) had a brilliant holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this holiday to anyone . Just watch out for the deep pool , stubbing your toes & ignorant smokers blowing smoke over your kids

" haiti "
Submitted By: emzren
we visited can picafort, hotel haiti on 15th june, hotel was ok, not grand but very clean, me and my partner and my two children aged 1 and 3, kids seemed to enjoy it pool was great for them, although we did have too watch the little one alot around the poolside! i didnt think much to the entertainers, both seemed very rude and ignorant and not much interest in the children! well especially not of my childrens age! food was ok but pretty much the same foods most nights! Although the children seemed to like it all and find plenty to eat! most nights we would just go out to local bars down the front which was better and the children seemed to enjoy more! there was a wacky warehouse for the children across from anne and neils bar which you could get a alcoholic drink from which was nice to sit there and watch the children enjoy themselves! overall was ok but do not know if would return again! meet some lovely people though which was a bonus

" chillout holiday "
Submitted By: a.murray
My wife and I went to the Haiti Hotel from 21-06-09 to 28-06-09 for a chill out break.
Before we went we read the reviews and we have to agree with most of the comments.
The hotel is dated, the bathroom needed an extractor fan.The room was cramped and the balcony was small.The food was boring and most of the soups were tastless.The rooms were clean and we didn't experience any noise.We chose June for this break on the understanding
that there wouldn't be many children over 5 years of age yet in fact it was like a primary school or kindergarden(why were these children absent from school?) They were very unruly so we couldn't stay to enjoy the entertainment.We were unable to acquire sunbeds as people reserved 6 beds at a time.
The entertainment guy looked and acted like Mr Bean and yet was quite aggressive and rude to the holidaymakers.
The beach at Ca'n Picafort has a lot of seaweed and we preferred Alcudia beach as it was a lot cleaner and shallow,ideal for children. On the front they were mainly German bars, there was not much to do at night but we spent most nights at Anne & Neil's bar and were made very welcome,the food there was very good.
We didn't exactly chill out,in our opinion this hotel is for families and not couples.

" Fab for families "
Submitted By: borg
Have just returned from a week staying in Hotal Haiti in Majorca. We were a group of 6 adults, two children and one baby. Have to say that the hotel was great for families. The rooms were basic and a bit small, but very clean (maid service every day). The food was fine, there was a excellent choice for breakfast, and a different selection of choices every evening for dinner, and although not fine dining you would need to be incredibly fussy to not find something that you like. The children in our group loved the buffet. The pool area, bar entertainment etc were all good. The staff in the hotel were all lovely and very helpful, as were our rep's (First Choice). The area around the hotel was very pretty and clean, the beach being only a short five minute walk, and again the beach was very clean, and safe. There are plenty of bars, shops etc around the hotel, and we would highly recommend The London Pub, which is run by a lovely spanish family, ask for Alex, he is very friendly. There is also a supermarket directly opposite the hotel which is great if you have a small baby requiring copius amounts of nappies, wipes etc. All in all this is a great place to take children for a lovely family holiday, my only advice would be to ask for a poolside room, as the ones we stayed in on the other side of the hotel were a bit noisy, and also watch out for the bed posts, we lost count of how many times we all stubbed our toes!
Advice: Lovely for families
Activities: Water Parks

" week in hotel haiti "
Submitted By: bekmarc2
Weve just returned from a weeks holiday at the hotel haiti in can picafort.We were part of a party of 8,which included 3 children,ages 3,10 and 11.I was slightly concerened after reading alot of reviews on the food not being that great,and the smokey rooms and entertainment area.I was also sceptical about the rush for sunbeds as mentioned in previous reviews.On arrival just after lunch time we were checked in quickly and the staff were great.The hotel was super clean and the rooms were clean and fresh.We had a family room with 4 beds in it and it was a great size.We had plenty of room.The towels and beds were changed and made daily.The food was fantastic all week.A great selection of everything for us.Our kids ate a wide variety and there was plenty of fresh fruit and veg available daily.The pool was great fun and even though the hotel was really busy,it never felt cramped.We didnt have a problem with gaining sunbeds at all,on only 2 occasions we had to wait but for no more than 15 or so mins.The only reason weve given a 9 is because we struggled to get a table to view the evening entertainment nearly every night as the area isnt big enough to accomadate everyone staying there,so although the kids would dissapear to the front,which was great for them,the adults didnt get to see alot.
The hotel entertainers were ok,but not overly friendly towards everyone.The thompson reps were again ok,the guy was in his first month repping and was enthusiastic and polite,but the female rep wasnt very approachable and quite stroppy looking most of the time.
Over all we would highly recommend the haiti for any families looking for loads for the kids and a lovely area with a fab beach.We really enjoyed it and would def go back again.

we stayed at haiti in august, 4 adults, 2 kids, it was our 1st time in majorca, and we had a great time,although we did,nt think much 2 resort itself,very built up and residential. the hotel itself was very clean and food was adequate enough for us all, although a bit repetative at times, but u get wat u pay for and by any standereds a very cheap hol!!!! the entertainment on a night was second to none ,with a mini disco 4 little ones then a different caberet show evry night, which on whole were really god. drinks are a little bit more expensive in hotel but where arn,t they. just outside of hotel ther are sum great bars to visit, with mo,s karaoke bar and williams just a bit further down,where he put us big brother final on big screen tv no problem, the staff were all really nice bt gavin and josh the entertainment duo made our holiday 4 us.although i will not be returning to this resort as it was not our cup ov tea, i would highly reccomend this hotel 2 anyone.
Advice: too built up, residential, and not very big!!!!!
Activities: mo,s bar ,williams bar and anne and niels bar are all god places to visit.

The hotel itself was really nice and clean. it is a little distance from the beach front but its not far enough to get a bus or taxi to. the staff were realy friendly. the bar staff were great and were always having a laugh with the entertainments team. the entertainments was great. Gavin and Josh were great and Josh made us feel welcome with his big bubbly personality. he really put the life into the place and always got the crowd going. i would hope to see them both there again next year as i thoroughly enjoyed my time at the haiti. would definatly recommend it to my friends and family.

" Got conned into this looking for... "
Submitted By: Mr A McFadyean
Got conned into this looking for somewhere different for a change and had been with Thomson last year and had no complaints. We were told it was a lovely place and read some of the reviews on here with the usual mix of good stuff and bad about the hotel and resort.
1) Staff at hotel were very pleasant and helpful
2) Room very basic indeed
3) Location of hotel is awful
4) Resort of Canpicafort its self (a dump)
5) Thomsons tours are wallet breakingly expensive for most of the trips on offer.
6) FOOD WAS ABSOLOUTELY DISCUSSSSSTING, Pork pork and more pork, foul smelling pailla, fish in this sauce or the discusssstingly tasteless potatoes, tastless sweets. We ate from the kiddies menu for 2 nights and after that we ate out, could not stand to look at it let alone eat it anyone who thinks the food here is good then all I can say is you are not very fussy what you eat and I would hate to see what you eat at home . It was certainly not a patch on Benidorm last year.
7) Entertainment was so so 2 really good shows out of the 2 weeks
8) Drinks in hotel expensive
9) Rooms not many with a decent view (main road oppisite a petrol station was ours)
10) Mallorca and here in perticular nothing to get ecited about.
On our last day spoke to a chap who had been moved from a Thomsons all inclusive place in middle of no where as the food there was C**P!!! and this was only slightly better at a cost of £2,000 for him and his wife what a shame.
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THOMSONS WE PAID FOR EXCESS BAGGAGE BOTH OUTWARD AND RETURN AND AS WE WERE OVER IT WAS 9euros A KILO. THEY WEIGHED ALL OUR LUGGAGE INCLUDING HAND LUGGAGE AS WELL AT PALMA AIRPORT. SO BE CAREFUL PEOPLE, AND THAT WAS AN EXTRA 5 kilo ALLOWANCE WE HAD PAID FOR BY THE WAY.
So all in all I can say we wont be back her and we certainly wont use Thomson again either.

" I went to Hotel Haiti, our first... "
Submitted By: Ms A Boardman
I went to Hotel Haiti, our first holiday in quite a few years with my partner and our 2 children (9 and 2 1/2yrs). We werent fortunate enough to get a family room and had a twin room with a 3rd bed and a cot, which made the room crammed but that was ok because your only in your room to sleep and get changed etc. (Didnt get stubbed toes thanks to this website and other people remarking on it...thank you!!).
The food was ok, not overly impressed with the kids buffet so majority of nights my kids ate from the adult buffet which varied from night to night. The sweet buffet was more or less the same every night but do recommend the cake....Mmm delicious...
As for the pool, only managed to get a sun lounger one day so always went to the beach which was fab and had a good atmosphere, people very friendly including the germans!!! We tended to go to the beach and then head to the pool so my little girl could have a splash in the pool at around 4pm when we could get a sun lounger!!!!
In general was very happy with the holiday, unfortunately I am not the type of person to visit somewhere twice but would recommend C'an Picafort to my friends.

" went for a week form the 17th august.... "
Submitted By: Mr K Stavely
went for a week form the 17th august. family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids (5+2). its an hour from the airport and we arrived at 1130am. had to wait 10 mins for a room but needed a nice cold pint anyway. we had one of the larger rooms ith 4 beds (top tip from a previous review to tuck yor bed sheets so you can se the bed legs- worked for us, no toe banging!)
shower over bath which was ideal for our small kids, 24hrs hot water. safe in the wardrobe (1.80 euro a day to hire). rooms cleaned and fresh towels every day from varying times, never before 1030 in our experience which was perfect for a lie in.
the breakfast and evening meal was different everyday and we had no problems with our fussy kids. there is a seperate kids buffet (pizza, chips different pasta and something like nuggets/ fish fingers varying each night) to the far right of the restaurant which we missed on the first night and our kids still ate from the adult selection.
the food is all suited to the english taste. in fact it was all english guests, not a german in sight!.
For lunch the bar do have a menu which we used a few times and was spot on. they have ice cream fridges and sky tv and air con.
lots of sunloungers, but mostly taken by 9.30 ish. people did queue up at 8 for the doors to open to reverve a spot. plenty of comfy ish chairs outside the bar to sunbath on though if the loungers all go.
the entertainers put a kids dvd on about 1230 to gets the younger ones out of the heat if required.
english papers for sale at reception- can be got cheaper like most things out of the hotel. if you go out of the hotel there is a supermarket almost opposite which a few people used and sneaked things back to eat by th the pool.
turn right out of the hotel and right again this road leads down to the beach a few minutes walk. there were a british bars on this street mo's (linked to the trotters bar on the beach front), william's bar, the london bar and ann and neil's bar.
all good bars catering for kids with toys and video games s use (x box, playstation etc).
there is a main pedestrianised shopping street if you go down to the beach turn left and walk along about 10 mins then trn left away from the beach (same street as burger king).
stayed in the hotel bar a few nights, kids loved the mini disco, bingo, prize depends on how may play but it was 125 euros approx the nights we were there. the acts we saw were a clown show and an act called take 5 funk, both were top nights.
easy to get served at the bar and not that much more money than outside the hotel.
the exchange rate at reception was exactly the same as in the resort - we looked.
would hestitate to reccomend to anyone, we are thinking of booking again next year.
ps we saw an english bar called 'shenanigan's bar' on the way nto the resort on the first day which looked good. spent hours one day looking for it (stoping off at various bars for refreshment) if anyone finds it on there hols please put directions from the hotel on here. i want to find it if i go back next year!!!!!
hope this is useful
cheers and enjoy your hols
