The 251-room Riu Don Miguel is a mid-range chain hotel in the middle of Playa del Ingles. This modern, adult-only hotel uses colors festively, with a bright pink seating area in the lobby and pink and purple furnishings and decor throughout its three restaurants and bars.

The four-pearl, 2016-opened Santa Monica Suites is a smart and minimalist hotel with stunning views of the Maspalomas sand dunes, which are a two-minute walk away. Slightly farther at five minutes is the promenade, home to several bars and restaurants. The182 rooms are bright, style, and tranquil, featuring sunken seating areas and furnished terraces -- many with views over the dunes and ocean. Features include a spa with views of the dunes, pool with huge terrace and adjacent a la carte eatery, and well-reviewed buffet restaurant. The free Wi-Fi, however, can be finicky, and there are no in-room kettles. Guests looking for a smaller, more secluded hotel, might want to try the nearby Gold by Marina, although it's adult-only.

The four-pearl Gold by Marina is an adult-only hotel located a 10-minute walk from Playa Ingles in one direction, and the Yumbo shopping mall in the other. The hotel’s decor is hip and gorgeous -- think bright, modern, and effortlessly cool, with splashes of color everywhere you look. The 133 rooms are serene in contrast to downstairs, outfitted in white and turquoise furnishings, well-equipped kitchenettes, and furnished terraces. Guests rave about the buffet breakfast (fee), and other meals can be ordered at the restaurant or pool bar. Two outdoor pools, a massage and wellness treatment area, and tiny gym round out the amenities. Travelers may want to compare rates with the more luxurious adult-only Bohemia Suites & Spa, though bold purple rooms may be a bit loud for some.

The huge 724-room IFA Buenaventura Hotel is a mid-range hotel located within walking distance of Playa del Ingles' buzzing nightlife and beach. It's a lively resort-style property with plenty on offer, including an excellent animation team for entertainment during the day and night. Simple rooms are well-maintained with light wood and wicker furniture, plus some have sea views from balconies; however, tube TVs and motel-style comforters are dated, and many amenities incur a charge. The pool area is usually a crowded hive of activity and not great for relaxing. This is a good value option for fun-focused families, but couples seeking peace and quiet should check out the adult-only Riu Don Miguel.

The Parque Cristobal Gran Canaria is a mid-range, extremely family-friendly complex located in the center of the Playa del Ingles resort. The 233 individual bungalows are comfortable and come with living areas and well-equipped kitchenettes, as well as outdoor areas with loungers. However, not all rooms have air-conditioning and use of in-room safes requires a fee. Otherwise, there are two swimming pool areas, one of which is dedicated to kids with waterslides and a water-jet playground. A kids' club, an excellent animation team, and mini-disco are other child-friendly features. The buffet restaurant has well-reviewed theme nights and multiple dining packages available. A spa and nightly entertainment provide something for the grown-ups, but couples are better off at the adult-only Sunprime Atlantic View Suites & Spa nearby.

The 235-room Parque Tropical is a charming upper-middle-range hotel a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of central Playa del Ingles, though directly on the promenade. Traditional rooms are larger-than-average for the area, and feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, plus some have balconies with panoramic ocean views. The restaurant serves excellent buffet meals for breakfast and dinner, and lunch is served at the poolside grill, which gets similarly great reviews. The pool is large and quiet, with enough loungers for all guests and palm trees and umbrellas for shade. Kid-friendly amenities include a playground, mini-golf, and giant chess, but the hotel is better suited for couples than for families. Those traveling with children may want to compare rates at Occidental Margaritas.

The 402-room IFA Catarina is a mid-range hotel located in the southern end of the Playa del Ingles resort. It's just a few minutes' walk to the stunning Maspalomas Dunes, as well as plenty of dining and shopping options, though the beach is 15 minutes away on foot. Well-maintained rooms have flat-screen TVs and balconies, but they also have cheap-looking patterned linens and a fee is charged for safes and Wi-Fi. The outdoor pool has separate sections and whirlpools, plus there's a kiddy pool with a waterslide. There are two restaurants, including a buffet-style eatery, and three bars, one of which has live entertainment. The nudist rooftop terrace certainly won't appeal to all though -- conservative guests might want to consider the more sedate Riu Palace Maspalomas nearby.

Hotel Caserio is an upscale hotel with sophisticated interiors that's just a three-minute walk from the beach promenade. It's one of the most stylish hotels in Playa del Ingles, in part due to a 2016 overhaul, and appeals primarily to modern-minded couples. Rooms are clean and minimalist, and all come with large flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and balconies -- some have sea views. The immaculate, heated pool is a favorite among guests and has a zero-entry layout, with a stylish poolside bar and fantastic sunbeds. The modern buffet restaurant offers live cooking stations, and there's a rooftop sun terrace with a hot tub and gorgeous views (though the atmosphere up there is a little lacking). For a better rooftop terrace try the Marieta Labranda instead, but the parking there isn't free.

The Sol Barbacan Hotel is a mid-range property comprised of 93 apartment-style suites and 57 duplex bungalows. With a range of activities and amenities that cater to both adults and children, the hotel draws a mix of couples and families. Given the property's convenient location in the heart of Playa del Ingles and its array of child-friendly features (which include a summer kids' club, a miniature golf course, and a kiddie pool), the Sol Barbacan is a solid pick for a family vacation. The spaciousness of the units is another draw for families, but they are somewhat sparingly furnished, particularly in the bedrooms.
