The Maspalomas & Tabaiba Princess cues up everything from a variety of eateries to a children's splash zone.

This place is two hotels merged into one, which means you get double the facilities. There are a couple of pools to pick from including an adults-only number, and a wide choice of restaurants and bars. You can pick up drinks poolside or in a theatre bar, and the dinner menus range from Italian to Asian.

There's an exotic feel to the main pool area, thanks to over-water bridges, thatched canopies and waterside palms. Gran Canaria's real-life natural highlight, the Maspalomas Dunes, are just a few minutes' drive away, too.
