The 286 mid-range apartments at Club Caleta Dorada are a simple option in the Canary Islands’ Caleta de Fuste, a budget-tourism outpost on Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the chain. Ranging from Studios to Two-Bedroom Apartments, these mostly clean, slightly outdated units come with kitchenettes and are ideal for families, small groups, and couples looking for a sunny, all-inclusive destination. The hotel has outdoor pools, as well as a game room and a soccer field, and the beach is within a 15-minute walk. However, nightly entertainment is not great, buffets are repetitive, and Wi-Fi comes with a fee. Guests seeking a more intimate escape should try La Casita de Fuerte, a charming guesthouse in the center of town that offers free Wi-Fi.

The 192-room Caleta Garden Apartments is a budget hotel in the middle of Caleta de Fuste, a 10-minute walk from the beach. Guest rooms range from Studio to Two-Bedroom Apartments and can accommodate small groups and families, but the bargain rates don’t justify outdated furniture, a lack of air-conditioning, noise from partiers and families, and the occasional cockroach. That being said, the hotel offers all-inclusive options, a huge playground, and a giant swimming pool that can be attractive to guests, though there are better options nearby for just a few extra dollars per night, including the bungalow-style rooms at Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort, which is right on the beach (as its name implies).

Formerly belonging to the Marriott chain, the Be Live Collection Son Antem is a four-pearl hotel built in the style of a traditional Mediterranean country house. While the scenic countryside setting can feel remote, it's just 20 minutes' drive from Palma de Mallorca Airport. Thanks to an on-site golfing academy and two adjoining 18-hole courses, golfers will not be disappointed. A huge spa, kids' club, and pretty pool area also appeal to couples and families. The 151 traditionally styled rooms have minibars and outdoor space, but they're rather lackluster and some are prone to noise (from neighbors and evening entertainment). The similar Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, which is quieter and a short drive from Palma.
