A big, dependable 24-hour all-inclusive that families come back to because it nails the essentials: a RiuLand kids club, two children's pools with slides, five outdoor pools and a spot just 200 metres from La Barrosa. It is not fancy, but with food and drink covered around the clock and slides for the kids, it is one of the easiest weeks you can book on this coast.
Our verdict
The value all-inclusive pick for a fuss-free family week: slides, a kids club and food on tap, with La Barrosa a short walk away. Go for a family room near the kids pools.
The rooms
Comfortable rooms and family rooms spread across low buildings around the pools, most with a balcony. Family rooms sleep up to four and there is plenty of space between the blocks.
