The 189-room Radisson Blu Resort Gran Canaria is a luxury family-friendly property with a small but sandy beach. Large, contemporary rooms have marble floors, spacious bathrooms, and ocean views from furnished balconies; some units have full kitchens with dishwashers. There are two pools -- including a large freshwater one and a heated saltwater pool -- plus two restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating, a spa, tennis courts, and a small fitness center. Despite its kid-pleasing features like a playground and kids' club, the atmosphere here is quieter than at other nearby resorts, so those looking to party may want to look elsewhere.

The 195-room Dorado Beach Aparthotel is an upper-middle-range, all-inclusive chain hotel on a small beach, located in the small fishing town of Arguineguin. Rooms are either studios or apartments, both with small pullman kitchens and pretty balconies with (in most cases) exceptional sea views. However, room decor is bland and isn't in line with the rest of the hotel, which feels modern and fresh. The buffet restaurant serves excellent food and a wide variety of international dishes, with the menu changing nightly. The pool is great, but the rooftop solarium with whirlpool is paradise, and the spa is top-notch and offers free access to its facilities, as well as some free treatments (massages cost extra).
