- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A big seafront resort complex in the heart of Playa de las Americas, best for families through its Mediterranean Palace hotel. The standout is the club structure: a Turtle Club from just 6 months, then age bands up to a teen club, all free for family-hotel guests, plus four pools and an enclosed supervised kids pool.
Our verdict
The strongest pick in the south for a baby or toddler thanks to a club from 6 months and an enclosed kids pool. Just make sure you book the Mediterranean Palace to get it all free.
The rooms
Stay in the Mediterranean Palace, the family-oriented hotel within the complex, where family rooms sleep four comfortably. Booking there gives you free access to the Mare Kids clubs and the wider resort pools.

GF Victoria
Every room is a suite, most with a separate lounge and a sofa bed, so a family of four never has to share one open space. Junior suites suit couples with a baby, and the larger suites give teens their own corner.

Royal Hideaway Corales Suites
The reason to book: 114 designer apartments from one to three bedrooms, each with a full kitchen and sea views, some with a private hot tub or plunge pool. Genuinely the smart choice for families who want space plus a five-star address.

Comfortable, classic rooms with balconies, and family rooms that sleep four without feeling cramped. Ask for a garden or pool view rather than the road side.
