The 465-room Hesperia Playa Dorada is an upper-middle-range hotel whose greatest asset is its location across the promenade from a sandy beach and a short walk from Playa Blanca’s lively marina. The hotel has a full entertainment program for guests of all ages, but there is also a separate area for those seeking some relaxation, complete with a pool, bar, and deck for yoga and Pilates. Rooms are simple yet comfortable, with free Wi-Fi, quality beds, furnished terraces, and flat-screen TVs, however, Standard Rooms lack basics such as mini-fridges and electric kettles. The hotel has a two-tier all-inclusive package, the standard of which is somewhat limited, as it only offers free access to the spa, gym, and indoor pool once per stay. Families seeking something cheaper may want to compare rates at the H10 Lanzarote Princess.

The 305-room H10 Timanfaya Palace is an upscale, adult-only hotel catering to couples seeking some peace and quiet. Its two large oceanfront pools have a serene atmosphere, and while there is a daily entertainment program, activities are generally mellower than at other resorts in the area. This all-inclusive stands out for its excellent cuisine, which includes a wonderful main buffet, a Mediterranean a la carte restaurant with Arab influences, and a poolside snack bar serving tapas and a small buffet. The fitness center features a good array of cardio and strength-training machines, a sauna, and two massage rooms, but there is no full spa on-site. The indoor pool is a great perk for a rainy day. Rooms are spacious, clean, and stylish, and feature LCD TVs, mini-fridges (stocked in Superior and Privilege Rooms, as well as Suites), and balconies, some with sea views. There is an ongoing renovation plan, but for the time being most bathrooms are a little dated. Those looking for a more bustling vibe may want to compare rates at the Sentido H10 White Suites.

Located across the promenade from a sandy beach in Playa Blanca, the 385-room Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort is a beautiful, upscale property designed in Canarian colonial style. Rooms are large and comfortable, featuring sofa beds, furnished terraces, and wet bars with microwaves and mini-fridges. Though full of local character to some, the traditional style of rooms -- and especially of bathrooms -- may be dated to others. Two large family pools are lined with dozens of loungers and palm trees, and there are two children's pools at the kids’ club, which offers a wide array of activities for all ages. Although buffet meals get mixed reviews, all rates include breakfast and a la carte eateries are better received. This family-friendly property has a bustling atmosphere, so those wanting a more peaceful environment may prefer the neighboring H10 Sentido White Suites.

Set on almost 13 acres of beautiful oceanfront gardens, the three-and-a-half-pearl Tui Sensimar Natura Palace (formerly Hipotels Natura Palace) is an adult-only resort with a peaceful atmosphere. The 269 rooms range from traditional and a bit dated to contemporary, but all feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and balconies -- many with great sea views. The two oceanfront pools are a lovely spot for a relaxing day in the sun, while the spa has a solid treatment menu for those looking to get pampered. Half-board dining is the only option available here, but food gets consistently good reviews. There is a sandy beach just a 10-minute walk away, but travelers wanting to stay closer to it may prefer the H10 Timanfaya Palace.

Pueblo Marinero is a mid-range adult-only apartment complex located across the street from a shopping mall and a lovely marina full of bars and restaurants. It offers 81 one- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens (no ovens, though), spacious living rooms, and terraces, some with sea views. All are clean, but decor needs an update, and most units are showing wear and tear. While the hotel does not have a full restaurant, breakfast is served in a spacious room with almost 360-degree views, and the poolside snack bar offers a few small bites and cocktails. Guests on half-board plans are given vouchers for dinner at five local restaurants. Some soft entertainment is available in the morning, but the hotel is mostly quiet day and night. Though the property is not on the beach, Playa Dorada is a 10-minute walk. Those looking for something a little cheaper may want to compare rates at the Palmeras Garden, though its location is a little secluded and kids are accepted.
