If your idea of a good family base is lush gardens, birdsong and a kitchenette rather than a buffet queue, this is the one. Hacienda San Jorge is a garden village of low apartments a short flat walk from the Los Cancajos beach, with two pools tucked among banana palms and hibiscus. It feels calm and green, very La Palma, and the self-catering setup suits babies and picky toddlers.
Our verdict
The pick for families who want a calm, green, self-catering base near the beach and do not need a kids club. Book a one-bedroom apartment and lean into the slow La Palma pace.
The rooms
Low bungalow-style buildings of studios and one-bedroom apartments scattered through big subtropical gardens, most with a kitchenette and a terrace. The one-bedroom units give parents a separate room and a sofa bed, so a family of four spreads out comfortably.

Is it right for your kids?

The kitchenette is a real plus for bottles and purees, and the quiet gardens are perfect for pram naps.

Space to toddle, a shallow pool and a short beach walk, though keep an eye on the odd garden step.
Kid

Lizard hunts, two pools and the cove keep this age busy without needing a club.

Quieter than a big resort, but the beach, snorkelling and nearby Santa Cruz give teens enough to do.
