The 300 rooms here are laid out in white-stucco, five-story buildings that look directly onto the beach. The property is very popular with families with children because of its proximity to the water, children’s play area, and lovely outdoor pool with stunning views of the sea. There are some reports of issues with cleanliness and also poor volume control in the hotel in general, and in the dining room, which can get quickly overwhelmed with guests, resulting in long lines. This property, which sits within a 15-minute walk of the Platja d’Aro commercial district, could be a good value for the money or overrated -- depending on the season and crowds.

The Salles Hotel & Spa Cala del Pi is a 52-room luxury property overlooking a secluded inlet on the Costa Brava. Guests love its ocean-view pool and large, full-service spa with indoor waterfall pool, hammam, and Finnish sauna, especially as there’s little to do outside the hotel beyond swimming in the crystal Mediterranean. Still, the town of Platja d'Aro makes a good base for Costa Brava explorations, and Barcelona is an easy day trip from here. Rooms are spacious but feel dated and lack style as well as some amenities expected at this price point. Those looking for more amenities and a greater range of activities should consider the Vistabella, a luxury beachfront hotel about an hour north in Roses.

This small hotel is situated a few-minutes' walk from the water in the beach town of Platja d’Aro. The simple, budget property has fresh, modern (if bare bones) rooms and an intimate atmosphere, thanks to charming common areas and well-manicured grounds full of tropical plants. The 39 rooms here are no-frills, but all feature balconies, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. An extensive buffet breakfast is included in the room price, and there is a restaurant as well as a bar on-site; the lunch menu, in particular, is a good value.

This relaxed and fairly intimate hotel, with its 121 rooms, maintains an ideal location perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Its grounds combine indoor and outdoor spaces in an attractive and relaxed fashion; the lovely sea-facing terraces, and the piano room, with its high ceilings and ample natural light, are particularly tranquil. This upper-middle-range property is situated a 15-minute walk from the downtown area of the resort town of Platja D’Aro, and is popular for its beach-convenient location (five minutes down a steep path) and the cleanliness of its spare, but comfortable, rooms.

Mon Port Hotel is an upscale, family-run complex set in picturesque landscaped gardens located on the edge of upmarket Port d’Andrax. While the residential neighborhood surroundings make for a quiet setting, there's little of interest in the immediate locale and no decent beaches within walking distance. The property itself, however, offers plentiful features such as a deluxe spa, quality dining, and an impressive three-tier swimming pool. Its 147 guest rooms are Mediterranean in flavor, with many upper-floor balconies offering scenic mountain panoramas. With Wi-Fi, breakfast, and spa facilities included, rates are very reasonable, but travelers seeking superb sea views and easy access to the resort center may want to shell out for the Hotel Villa Italia across the bay.

La Pergola is a three-and-a-half-pearl, family-owned complex located in a peaceful neighborhood on the outskirts of upmarket Port d’Andrax. The location isn’t ideal, with little in the immediate area, and it's a 15-minute walk into the center of town. The property offers 112 units, ranging from simple guest rooms to duplex Villas, though most are pleasant apartments with kitchens and pool-view terraces. Food scores highly, with both buffet meals and a quality a la carte menu at the bar, and a half-board option is available. While the pool is generally peaceful, the terrace is prone to overcrowding in high season, probably due to lack to decent beaches nearby. Ultimately, it has a lovely, secluded vibe with some top-notch facilities, though those hankering for the beach will likely prefer the Universal Hotel Aquamarin, which is practically set on the sand in the nearby Sant Elm resort.

Hotel Villa Italia is a upscale boutique property with an enviable setting overlooking the picturesque bay of Port d'Andratx. It's the views that first steal the show, visible from numerous vantage points that include all 21 rooms and suites. Spa and pool facilities are also impressive for the relatively small size, though the pool terrace is prone to afternoon shadows and the lack of a gym seems like an oversight. Dining, while expensive, is some of the best in the resort. Suites are genuinely luxury-level featuring huge bathrooms with massage-jet tubs and some charming original features. All thing's considered, it's probably the best hotel in town, though with a hefty price tag to match. The Mon Port Hotel & Spa across the bay might lack panache, though it's more affordable and has a full range of facilities.

The Cordial Mogan Valle is an upper-middle-range, family-friendly complex comprising 303 one- and two-bedroom apartments. The location is within walking distance of the picturesque beach and marina of Puerto de Mogan, as well as shopping and dining, and provides scenic valley views. Modern apartments have living rooms, kitchenettes, and particularly spacious terraces with sun loungers; Wi-Fi coverage is spotty, however. For adults, there are three outdoor pools -- including a quiet pool -- and a decent spa, while children are well-catered for with a splash park and kids' club. It's a great option for self-catering families and it has more contemporary furnishings than sister property Cordial Mogan Playa next door.

The 487-room Cordial Mogan Playa is an upper-middle-range hotel featuring a flamboyant lobby, extensive tropical gardens, and even an archaeological site. It's a short stroll from the beach and charming marina district of Puerto de Mogan -- one of Gran Canaria's more remote, quiet resorts. Rooms have an old-fashioned style and furnished balconies or terraces, with higher floors enjoying superb valley and even sea views. Extensive facilities consist of two large pools, two restaurants, and three bars -- though buffet dining can get overcrowded. Kid-friendly amenities include a game room, kids' club, and daily activities led by an animation team.
