This is the closest thing La Palma has to a full-scale beach resort, and it sits right on the black volcanic sand of Los Cancajos, the island's main family swimming beach. You get two pools, gardens, a low-key entertainment team with a small kids club, and the airport just ten minutes away, which on a connection-heavy island is a real gift with tired children.
Our verdict
The most resort-like base on La Palma and the safe first choice for families who want a pool, a beach and an easy transfer all in one spot. Book a sea-view family room and use the cove for first swims.
The rooms
Comfortable, recently updated rooms in low-rise blocks set in gardens, most with a balcony or terrace and many facing the sea. Family rooms and connecting doubles sleep four, and the ground-floor garden rooms are the easy pick with a pram.

Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
Cots on request and ground-floor garden rooms make pram life easy, and the low-rise layout keeps walking short.

The shallow kids pool and the breakwater-calmed cove are ideal, just watch the volcanic sand gets hot at midday.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
Snorkelling over the rocks, the small club and pool afternoons keep this age happily busy.
Teen
12 yrs and up
Teens can snorkel, bodyboard the cove edge and reach Santa Cruz for a wander in fifteen minutes by car.

Parents also ask
Is the beach sandy or rocky?
Los Cancajos is a black volcanic-sand beach set in a cove protected by breakwaters, so it stays calm and shallow near the shore, with rockier patches at the edges good for snorkelling.
Is there a kids club?
There is a small kids club and a light entertainment programme in the main season, but this is a calm, family-run hotel rather than a big animation resort.
How far is the airport?
La Palma airport is about ten minutes by car, one of the shortest transfers on the island, which is handy given most flights arrive via a connection.
