- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A seafront aparthotel that families come back to year after year. The kitchenettes take the pressure off mealtimes, the beach sits on both sides of the property, and there are three kids clubs running a fuller programme through the school holidays.
Our verdict
The reliable self-catering choice on this stretch: a real kitchen, the sea on your doorstep and enough for the kids to do that the days fill themselves.
The rooms
Every apartment has a proper kitchenette, a balcony and a sofa bed for two, so a family of four spreads out easily. One and two bedroom options mean bigger groups get a real separate bedroom.

Sol Príncipe by Meliá
Standard family rooms take two adults and two children, with a sofa bed and a small balcony. They are practical rather than plush, so ask for a renovated room and one facing the gardens if you want quiet at nap time.
