Bustling and cheap, the mid-range THB Flora caters to budget-conscious families wanting a fun, active vacation. The busy entertainment program and kids’ club keep active guests of all ages busy, while the music being piped at a high volume through speakers allows for a lively atmosphere around the pool. There is a separate section with a quieter pool across the street for those looking for something a little more relaxing. The all-inclusive package isn’t as comprehensive as at comparable hotels in the area, but food gets decent reviews for variety and taste. The property’s 205 studios and apartments feature fully equipped kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and patios or balconies, some with partial sea views. Decor, though, ranges from dated in Standard units to simple and contemporary in Superior apartments. Neighboring Aparthotel Blue Sea Los Fiscos has similar rates and is quieter.

Located within a 10-minute walk of several beaches and Puerto del Carmen’s lively main drag, Apartamentos THe Oasis caters to families and couples on a budget. Apartments are low-frills and spotless, featuring fully equipped kitchenettes, separate living areas with sofa beds, and balconies with plastic patio furniture. Superior Apartments were renovated in 2016-17 and have simple IKEA-style furniture, free air-conditioning, and nice rain showers, but Standard units are worn and dated and have lackluster bathrooms. Though there is no full restaurant on-site, breakfast, drinks, and snacks are available at the poolside bar, and there are dozens of restaurants, cafes and bars within a five-minute walk of the property. It's worth considering the similarly priced Arena Dorada Apartments, which is even closer to the beach and offers free Wi-Fi.

The two-pearl Arena Dorada sets itself apart from the myriad value apartment complexes in Puerto del Carmen with an ideal location half a block from the main drag and the beach. Its 80 studios and one-bedroom apartments are basic but comfortable, with fully equipped kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and furnished balconies, some of which offer partial sea views. Wi-Fi is free (which is rare in this price range), but air-conditioning is not available anywhere on the property, and fans are only available for a fee. The pool is pleasant and quiet, and the poolside bar’s happy hour is popular among guests. Food, however, generally gets poor reviews. Families with young kids may prefer the THB Flora, though it’s farther away from the beach.

The 331-room VIK Hotel San Antonio is an average mid-range all-inclusive resort located right on sandy Pocillos Beach. It has two large heated pools, a decent buffet restaurant, a full entertainment program geared towards older couples, and a friendly vibe. But the property is worn, and rooms, though spacious and clean, are in urgent need of an update. Kid-friendly amenities such as the kids’ club are available during Christmas and the summer months only, so those traveling with children in the off-peak season may want to look elsewhere. The upscale Los Fariones Hotel, located 10 minutes away, also has a kids' club and seasonal children's pool.

Tucked away on a small street a couple of blocks from Puerto del Carmen’s main drag and the beach, the upper-middle-range Relaxia Lanzaplaya offers 168 contemporary apartments that were all fully renovated in late 2017. They come with air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchenettes, and furnished balconies. Pools are small but pleasant, with spacious decks full of loungers, and a kiddy section that’s heated in colder months. The main restaurant serves a small but tasty spread for all three meals, and the lobby bar offers a decent array of drinks until late. The poolside bar is a popular spot for a drink in the evening, but snacks are extra, and live music a couple of nights per week is the extent of on-site entertainment. Travelers wanting a more bustling atmosphere and additional family-friendly amenities may want to compare rates at Sol Lanzarote.

Alondra Villas & Suites is an upscale property with a peaceful atmosphere. Its 41 stand-alone villas are big and stylish, with full kitchens, up to three bedrooms, and gardens. All but four of them have private pools that can be heated for a fee. The common pool is small yet charming, and the restaurant serves a tasty, free breakfast buffet, along with solid international cuisine for lunch and dinner. With plush Bali beds, waiter service, and access to a spa, the adult-only lounge is a popular spot for sunbathing. The location away from the city center allows for quiet nights, but there are few restaurants, bars, and shops in the area, and the nearest sandy beach is about 20 minutes away on foot. Travelers seeking something cheaper may prefer Nautilus Lanzarote, which offers pleasant apartments a short walk from the beach.

The value Acuario Sol offers poolside peace and quiet off Puerto del Carmen's main strip. Nearby beaches and bars are more plentiful than the hotel services, but features are reasonable for the price. There are two pools and a kiddy pool, but note they aren't heated. The 85 apartments are divided between two blocks, each having upsides and downsides. Simple units have bright living and dining areas outfitted with traditional decor, and kitchenettes have fridges and coffeemakers, but there's no AC. The poolside bar serves food and drinks. Compare with HG Lomo Blanco, where pools are heated.

The three-pearl Lanzarote Palm offers modern apartment-style digs and poolside relaxation within walking distance of Puerto del Carmen's New Town and main beach strip. The 115 Apartments are streamlined and have pops of neon, kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and furnished balconies, although deposits are required for TV and air-conditioning remotes. The outdoor pool is unheated but gets lots of sun, and loungers around it are plentiful. An adjacent bar serves drinks and snacks, and a restaurant offers international and local fare all day. Note that the hotel lacks a gym, though its setting on a fairly steep hill provides a workout. Apartamentos Barcarola Club is more dated, but it's right on the strip and has a heated pool.
