Santo Tomas is one of the calmest resorts on the south coast, a long straight beach backed by dunes and pines rather than nightlife, and this beachfront hotel sits right on it, separated from the sand by a few steps. It suits families who want a quieter, more grown-up base while still having the sea on the doorstep and a small kids programme in season. The beach here shelves gently and the whole village stays low-key, which is the point.
Our verdict
The choice for parents who want beachfront calm over a big animation resort. Best with toddlers and younger kids happy with beach and pool days.
The rooms
Ninety-nine rooms in a refreshed four-star, including sea-view rooms and a handful of suites, spread over two linked buildings. Rooms are calm and comfortable rather than large, so families of four are best in a suite or connecting rooms.
