Hotel OrquideaBahia Feliz, Gran Canaria

This hotel is ideal for a family break. It’s part of the Thomson Family Resorts collection, so it comes with things like a Thomson Kids’ Club and a crèche. Plus, because the property is tucked in manicured gardens, with lawns stretching to a sandy beach, there’s plenty of space.

Before you even get to the beach the pool area will stop you in your tracks. It’s home to three big swimming pools and terraces surrounded by palms. And there’s more on offer at the brand new spa and wellness centre. As well as an activity pool and whirlpool tubs, you’ll find sauna and beauty treatments.

The most popular lunchtime spot is the pool bar, thanks to its picture windows which overlook the pool. The hotel is also noted for its breakfasts. We’re talking a huge choice of cold meats, cheeses and pastries, plus cooked classics like bacon and eggs. Show-cooking is a feature at breakfast and dinner, too. And when you want a change, there’s an à la carte grill in the gardens.

Split-level rooms come with accessories like satellite TVs and kettles. If you want a bit more space, upgrade to a family suite or opt for a superior room. They come with flatscreen TVs and DVD players.
