The 285-unit mid-range Zafiro Can Picafort is an apartment hotel with all-inclusive options, catering to families with kids. There are a full slate of activities for adults, and a large pool complex that includes a pirate ship water park for kids. The apartments are all spacious, clean one-bedrooms, with a variety of layouts and private balconies or gardens (some with swim-up access); bathrooms are modern and roomy. The a la carte and buffet dining options, games room and sports fields, coin laundry, and full grocery store also contribute to this property's family-friendly appeal. Another property with kid appeal travelers could consider is the Hotel Eix Platja Daurada, though rates tend to be higher.

The Eix Alzinar Mar Suites is a modern upper-middle-range resort set on the edge of Ca'n Picafort on Majorca's northeast coast. Revamped in 2016, the property feels bright and contemporary, and its adults-only environment adds to the peaceful vibe -- although apart from overall tranquility, this property can lack atmosphere. Most of its 125 rooms are spacious junior suites all with lounge areas and balconies overlooking the huge central pool. With just a buffet restaurant and snack bar, on-site dining is limited plus there's little in the way of health or sports facilities. A 10-minute walk to the beach also means the location isn't exactly ideal. Another child-free option that's closer to the beach is the Hotel THB Gran Playa, which also has a spa though a smaller pool.

Exagon Park is a mid-range hotel occupying a 285-room building dating back to the '60s. While interiors have been updated in parts, most of the property still feels dated. Rooms are particularly old-fashioned, and amenities are limited to small flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and hairdryers. Views over the neighboring river and pine forest from higher levels, however, are genuinely spectacular. It's a quiet location on the outskirts of the Ca'n Picafort resort, though the beach is easily reachable on foot. Highlights include a large pool set in spacious, serene gardens, plus there's a wellness center and dining is more than passable. Ultimately, if the lackluster rooms aren't a deal breaker, it's a great option for a laid-back stay surrounded by nature. Otherwise better rooms closer to the resort center and beach can be found at the adult-only Hotel THB Gran Playa.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Zafiro Mallorca is a super family-friendly apartment complex set on the outskirts of the small resort of Ca'n Picafort. The location is not ideal, with nothing in the immediate area, and the beach and resort center a good 10 minutes away on foot. There's plenty on-site to keep families happy, however, with a range of pools, kids' clubs, and an extensive animation program. The 252 apartments are roomy and well-maintained -- if a little dated and poorly soundproofed -- with kitchenettes, free Wi-Fi, and outdoor space. Ultimately, there's little of interest for vacationing couples here, while families who like the beach should consider the Hotel Eix Platja Daurada, which offers direct access to the coast.

H10 Andalucía Plaza is an upscale, adults-only property located within walking distance of the beach and Puerto Banús.

Property highlights include a large free-form pool with tons of loungers and a bar; a small fitness center complete with an indoor pool, treatment rooms, and a whirlpool; a large restaurant serving regional cuisine; and two bars with outdoor seating.

The 107-room La Cala Resort is an upscale property primarily popular with golfers due to its three golf courses and golf academy. It's in a fairly remote area that offers a quiet atmosphere and beautiful scenery, though not much within walking distance. Free shuttle service to the beach is provided during summer months, which takes about 15 minutes. Rooms are chic and contemporary, equipped with flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms, minibars, and spacious furnished balconies or terraces. Features include a spa, outdoor pool with separate kiddy pool, and five different restaurant and bar options. The hotel is best suited to couples or groups of golf buddies, so families may want to consider the Gran Melia Don Pepe, which has more entertainment features for kids in a livelier area of Costa del Sol.

The VIK Gran Hotel Costa del Sol is a mid-range hotel right beside La Cala de Mijas Beach. There’s an attractive outdoor pool area and a stylish elevated sundeck with sea views. However, the old-fashioned interiors could do with a facelift and some rooms are bland. All 302 rooms have pleasant balconies and suites have in-room hot tubs, but there are no coffee or tea facilities. Many guests stay on an all-inclusive basis, though the buffet meals get poor reviews. Expect extra charges for safes and pool towels. There’s family-friendly games equipment available and reliable free Wi-Fi. Father along the coast, Torremolinos’ Gran Hotel Blue Sea Cervantes has a gym, a sauna, better food, and comparable rates.

Hotel Miracielos is a three-pearl property on the beach with both traditional hotel rooms and modern apartments. Rooms are simple and clean but the apartments are particularly appealing with sleek furniture, hardwood floors, and full kitchens. A lush, natural landscape and fast access to outdoor activities like paddle-boarding and hiking are the main draws for the area. There is a simple breakfast cafeteria and bar on-site. The rural location means guests encounter more cows than cars.

This three-pearl hotel is situated a three-minute walk from the beach in Pineda de Mar. It's an average choice, but pleasant enough, with a decent set of features including an outdoor pool and kids' pool, a kids' club, buffet restaurant, lobby bar, spa with an indoor heated pool, and fitness center -- but the spa and fitness facilities incur a charge for use. Several other amenities and services incur charges, including Wi-Fi (free for bookings through hotel website), use of safes, mini-fridges, tea/coffee facilities, and pool towels, though these are free in some rooms. The 211 guest rooms are small and have dated decor, but they all have private balconies. For another option with free Wi-Fi and similar features, check out the Aqua Hotel Promenade.

This friendly family-run property is a solid pick for travelers on a budget. It offers the best rates in town year-round, and a convenient location in the historic center, a short walk from the beach. Rooms are spotless and bright -- but basic and a little dated, with only small tube TVs and Wi-Fi (for a fee) in the way of amenities. There is a buffet restaurant, a lobby bar and cafe, and nightly entertainment. The hotel’s best feature, however, is arguably the rooftop pool area, offering striking city views, and a snack bar.
