Canary Islands hotel recommendations? for October with children
ramarama · 29/08/2021 22:38
Can anyone recommend their favourite family hotels for those with children under 6 years? Even better if you've been recently and can report on current Covid restrictions.
There are so many options and I'm going round in circles. Tripadvisor seems to report that several kids club options are currently closed due to covid? And also even the five star options seem to report current lengthy queues in a lot of places for reception, meals etc - a pain if dealing with little kids. If this is the reality we would prob rather go for a villa in Europe and just accept we won't be doing any swimming.
Not normally keen on all inclusive, can't bear 'entertainment' but we just want a child-focussed holiday that has some option for occasional kids club or supervision for a couple of hours. And sun. And warmth
Need: kids pool and/or some water play/slides
Nice to have: Beach access very nearby
Can anyone help? Currently looking at:
H10 Princess in Lanzarote
Lopesan Baobab in Gran Canaria
Elba Resort Village in Lanzarote
Many thanks in advance :-)

We've stayed in Hotel Suite Villa MarÃa on Tenerife and found it perfect for the kids. We had an apartment which has a small kitchen and a living room/terrace so we had somewhere to hang out in the evenings. We did bed and breakfast, the breakfasts are amazing but having the kitchen meant we could do simple meals and not eat out every meal. Family pool is heated (worth checking as many aren't), kids activities were great, local beaches all really nice. We were booked to go back last year but got cancelled but we will try again at some point.
