Hotel BQ Delfin Azul, Majorca: A Family Review

Travel Mum - Liverpool
I'm a toddler mum juggling snacks, naps and passports! Regularly flying from Liverpool Airport - my passion is finding the best travel deals for families to make getaways more affordable!
Family Holiday at Hotel BQ Delfin Azul
– A Full Circle Moment
We travelled to Alcudia as a family of 7 including a 2 year old. We chose this hotel as this was the first destination my husband and I travelled to when we met. We always swore we would bring our child back one day, the day arrived but with parents, aunties and uncles in tow too!
Why We Chose Hotel BQ Delfin Azul
Our connection to Alcudia made this hotel a special choice for us. But beyond the sentiment, BQ Delfín Azul is a fantastic family-friendly hotel with everything you need for a fun, relaxed break in the sun.
Located just 600 metres from Alcudia Beach, it offers the perfect base for days spent on the white sand, paddling in the crystal-clear sea, and grabbing an ice cream from the local beachfront cafés.
Getting to Hotel BQ Delfin Azul: Transfer Time
From Palma de Mallorca Airport the transfer time is around:
- 1 hour by coach
- 45-50 minutes by private taxi – check out prices and book in advance on Suntransfers
It’s a smooth journey and easy with kids, especially after a short flight from Liverpool!
Perfect for Families
BQ Delfín Azul is tailored for families, and it shows:
Outdoor Play Areas & Splash Zone
Our son absolutely loved the colourful splash zone and outdoor play area. The mini slides, soft flooring, and rainbow water sprinklers kept him entertained for ages whilst we took it in turns to relax nearby on the loungers.
Comfortable Family Rooms
Most of the rooms are modern, although there were some APPARENTLY that were not renovated! We needed 3 rooms between us all, and all were what the website showed ,bright and super clean – with a small fridge, comfy beds and blackout curtains (essential for nap time!). Ours had a pool view which was lovely to wake up to.
Kids’ Club & Entertainment
Although we didn’t use the kids’ club this time as our son was a little too young, it was great to know it was there. The evening entertainment was fun and friendly – especially the kids’ disco, which was a hit with all the children (and a few grown-ups too!).
Beach Days at Alcudia
A short walk from the hotel (around 600m) brings you to Alcudia’s stunning beach. It’s ideal for families – shallow waters, soft sand, and plenty of beachfront restaurants and shops to grab a bite or stock up on souvenirs (yes, we did get fridge magnets!).
Food & Dining
The hotel offers buffet-style meals with loads of variety—something for even the fussiest of eaters! There’s a great mix of local dishes and family favourites like pasta, pizza, and fresh fruit. We also enjoyed a few meals out in Alcudia’s old town, which is just a short taxi ride away and worth exploring. On this particular trip, we chose the half board option and often opted to use the hotel pool bar for a quick lunch!
Final Thoughts
Coming back to Alcudia with our child – and extended family – felt like everything coming full circle. BQ Delfín Azul gave us the perfect mix of comfort, fun, and nostalgia.
If you’re looking for a family-friendly hotel in Majorca with an unbeatable location, playful atmosphere, and great value, this one’s a winner.
With some great prices for a family of 3, 4 and even 5, be sure to check out BQ HOTEL DELFIN AZUL in Majorca for your next family holiday here: BQ DELFIN AZUL

Another Merlin Pass sale for those who missed the last one! We are loving ours so far, it’s so handy to have what feels like a “free” day out when you don’t know what to do with the kids. We’re going to Alton Towers this weekend and it was super easy to log into the pass portal and get tickets for us.
It’s also great for a trip to London as there are tons of attractions there that you can use it on 💛
