This is a mid-range apartment complex spread across two separate blocks just off the main road in the relatively relaxed resort of Playa de Muro. As well as being surrounded by restaurants and shops, the picturesque beach is just a few minutes away on foot (across a main road). All of the 135 studio and one-bedroom apartments are finished in fresh, contemporary styling with modern cooking facilities, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Each building has a pool with splash pool section; a kids' club opens in high-season; and there's a low-key animation program. All-in-all, facilities won't wow, but the apartments do impress and rates are some of the more reasonable. For a bigger pool on a similar budget check out the Apartamentos Siesta I, set away from the beach albeit with a buzzier atmosphere.

The Playa Garden Selection Hotel & Spa is an upscale and family-friendly complex set between a low-key tourist strip and the lovely Playa de Muro beach. Facilities cater well to both parents and kids, featuring one of the resort's largest spas as well as a small water park, kids' clubs, and lots of child-focused (often noisy) animation. The 226 rooms, suites, and apartments are all updated and many offer at least lateral sea views or small garden areas with plunge pools. Non-German speakers might feel a little left out of evening entertainment and Wi-Fi can be slow, but a good choice of all-inclusive dining, leisure facilities, and direct beach access ultimately makes this a strong choice. As an alternative, consider the more sophisticated and chic Las Gaviotas Suites Hotel -- though it's a block from the beach across a busy road.

The upper-middle-range Hotel JS Alcudi-Mar attracts a mix of families and couples with its array of amenities and setting a two-minute walk from the beach. Its 216 rooms are a bit bland, albeit contemporary, outfitted with showers, mini-fridges, and furnished terraces either overlooking the sea or the nature reserve behind the hotel. Unfortunately, in-room safes require a fee and Wi-Fi is reportedly weak. On-site features include a large pool surrounded by metal loungers, a spa with a hot tub, treatment rooms, and sauna, and a small gym. Food at the buffet restaurant and snack bar receive positive reviews, and half-board rates are available. Couples should consider the adults-only Garden Holiday Village, though it's farther from the beach.

Hotel Zafiro Bahia is a four-pearl, family-friendly apartment complex in the picturesque and peaceful Playa de Muro resort. While there's not a great deal in immediate area, the hotel backs directly onto a lovely stretch of sandy beach. The 289 apartments range from studios to two-bedroom units, all opening to balconies, and in some cases private gardens with whirlpool tubs. Four pools, plenty of organized activities, and sports facilities means there's always something to do, plus there's a good choice of quality buffet and a la carte dining. One shortcoming is the limited spa facilities, however, so those looking for some pampering would do better at the nearby Playa Garden Selection Hotel, with one of the area's largest wellness centers.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Garden Holiday Village is an adult-only, all-inclusive complex located on the edge of the quiet Playa de Muro resort. The location can feel a little away from the local action and beach, though a free shuttle bus operates during the day and guests get perks at the hotel's beach club. The 132 contemporary rooms and suites are attractive and bright, and all open to spacious balconies or terraces -- some even to private gardens. Snagging a lounger around the large pool is never an issue, and Bali beds add a touch of sophistication. The main problem is mosquitos, so don't forget repellent and long sleeves. To avoid them altogether, the Las Gaviotas Suites Hotel isn't adult-only, but it does have a spa and is just a block from the beach

Universal Aparthotel Elisa is a small, two-and-a-half-pearl apartment complex set in a quiet, lakeside location less than 10 minutes' stroll from Playa de Muro beach. Its 71 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments are bright and functional, with cooking facilities and balconies or terraces with views that vary between street, pool, and lake. Facilities are certainly very limited, offering little beyond a swimming pool, a poolside bar, and buffet and a la carte dining. Premium units do open to spacious rooftop sun terraces with loungers and daybeds, with some overlooking the lake (which can be a source of mosquitos). Ultimately, this low-frills aparthotel delivers the basics perfectly well, though budget-conscious families might prefer the more kid-friendly apartments at HSM Lago Park, that's also nearer the beach.
