This is the five star option on Playa Serena, and the reason families pick it over its neighbours is the water: five pools including a lazy river, a bubble pool, and Splash, a proper little water park zone with slides for children. Add family suites with two real bedrooms, a spa for the adults and direct beach access, and it becomes the hotel you book when you want the holiday to run itself.
Our verdict
The Costa Almeria hotel that comes closest to a resort holiday where nobody needs a car. Book a family suite and time your stay for when Splash is open.
The rooms
Family suites of around 60 square metres with two separate bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed and a sea view terrace, which is the configuration that makes a week with three children survivable. Family doubles add two sofa beds to a big double.

Family things to do nearby
Lazy river laps
Rings, a slow current and no skill required, the one activity that works for a four year old and a fourteen year old at once.
Roquetas aquarium
A small, calm aquarium ten minutes away, ideal for a hot afternoon or the day the wind gets up.
Evening show and mini disco
Nightly entertainment in the main theatre, with the mini disco early enough not to wreck bedtime.

Teen
12 yrs and up
Gym, spa treatments and the promenade into town, though they will want the wifi password before the room key.

Parents also ask
Is Splash included in the room rate?
Yes, the Splash zone and all the pools are included for hotel guests, with no extra ticket to buy.
Is the family suite worth the extra?
For four or more people, yes. Two bedrooms plus a living room changes evenings completely, and you stop tiptoeing from 8pm.
How far is Almeria airport?
About 30 to 35 minutes by road, one of the shortest transfers on the Spanish costas, which matters with a toddler.
