Playmarina Spa Hotel is a medium-size, mid-range chain hotel on the beach that offers many of the same services and facilities as its competitors in this price range, though it's a bit more intimate and has a great spa. Meal packages are available and there's a small bar -- drinks aren't included. Watch out for a laundry list of hidden charges like parking and Wi-Fi. Decent-size rooms are clean if not a little too overdosed in pink. Most have bathtubs and overlook the pool. The beach is accessed down a long wooden footbridge without any facilities on the sand. One of the outdoor swimming pools has two small water slides. It's worth comparing rates with those at the nearby Playacanela Hotel, but the Playamarina offers tons of on-site amenities like evening entertainment, a kids' club, and a fitness center.

The stylish, three-pearl Hotel Terramar sits across a street from the beach in the heart of Llafranc's sleepy village. Views are beautiful from sea-facing terraces, and likewise from some of the 53 rooms. The breezy rooms are brightly outfitted in nautical blues and whites, as well as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, safes, and balconies. Away from crowds, yet right downtown, the peaceful beach setting draws leisure families and older couples, and many are repeat guests. A rooftop terrace provides a great sunbathing spot, but there's no pool. Food here is generally well-reviewed, and a lounge offers free tea and coffee. If a pool is a deal-breaker, check out Hotel Blau Mar, although it's pricier.

Glistening Mediterranean views are blissful from the upper-middle-range Hotel BlauMar, which occupies a hilltop spot a short walk from Llafranc's blue bay. Couples come here for peace and quiet in refined surroundings, and impeccable sea-facing terraces around an outdoor pool provide just that. The 20 rooms have country-chic charm, as well as balconies or terraces with gorgeous views, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and elegant bathrooms. The free buffet breakfast is well-reviewed, and the bar's meals are especially popular outdoors. Travelers looking for somewhere more central should consider Hotel Terramar, which lacks a pool, but is right on the beach.

Scenically set on a cliff in the charming coastal town of Getaria, this three-pearl boutique hotel is a short walk from restaurants, bars, two beaches, and the fishing port. Amenities are limited to breakfast (for a fee), served in a dining room with spectacular views of the sea and coast, as well as a homey sitting room and a terrace that makes for a prime sunset perch. The 17 guest rooms feature classic and antique decor, plus modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. It's worth upgrading to sea view rooms, as the vistas are gorgeous. Travelers might want to compare with the Hotel Itxas Gain Getaria, a nearby property that offers similar amenities, though the ocean views aren't as stunning
