This is the self-catering complex to shortlist when you want a splash park but not a stair-filled apartment block. The single storey bungalows spread through subtropical gardens around two outdoor pools, one of them a family pool with a water play area of jets and gentle features that toddlers adore, plus a quieter adult pool. There is a buffet restaurant, a bar, a small shop and a children's playground with entertainment, so you can cook in the villa or eat out as the mood takes you. Maspalomas beach and the dunes are under a kilometre away.
Our verdict
The pick for babies and toddlers among Maspalomas self-catering: single level bungalows, a gentle water play pool and a kitchen, all a short buggy push from the dunes.
The rooms
These are single storey villa style bungalows, which is the detail that makes them so easy with small children: no internal stairs, a separate living area, a full kitchenette and a big furnished terrace opening onto the gardens. Two bedroom units sleep a family of four or five without anyone on a floor bed.

Lopesan Baobab Resort
Rooms are dressed up as an African lodge, and the family rooms add a sofa bed so four sleep without anyone on the floor. Ask for a pool-view room on a lower floor if you have a toddler and a buggy, it saves the lift queue.

Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Gran Canaria Mogan
Modern, spacious rooms, many with connecting doors, which is the easy fix for a family of four or five. Suites add real living space. Rooms feel newer and calmer than most of the south's older resorts.
in Gran Canaria
Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa
A colonial-style resort with rooms spread over huge grounds. Family rooms take four, and connecting doubles are worth asking for if you have older kids. The trade-off for all that garden is a proper walk from the far rooms to the pools.
