Teaming a beachside setting with a brilliant pool scene, the Orquidea is spot on for family getaways.
When it comes to family holidays the Hotel Orquidea really hits the nail on the head. It’s part of the Thomson Family Resorts collection from May - mid October, so it comes with a Thomson Kids’ Club and a crèche. Plus, because the property is set in gardens, with lawns stretching to a sandy beach, there’s plenty of space.

Before you get to the beach, though, the pool area will stop you in your tracks. It’s home to three big swimming pools and terraces surrounded by palms.

On the food front, breakfast and dinner are served in the main buffet restaurant, where chefs show-cook as you eat. At lunchtime, the pool bar is really popular, thanks to the picture windows that overlook the pool. When you want a change, there’s an à la carte grill in the gardens.

The rooms are split-level but, if you want a bit more space, you can upgrade to a family suite. Superior rooms, meanwhile, come with flatscreen TVs and DVD players.

Your guide to Bahia Feliz, Gran Canaria

“In beautiful Bahia Feliz, it’s all about the beach.”

Happy Bay - that’s exactly what Bahia Feliz means in Spanish, and we reckon it will get you grinning from ear-to-ear. Just north of action-packed Playa del Inglés, Bahia is small and compact, so everything is within easy flip-flopping distance. Daily life here focuses on a picturesque, pedestrianised village square, its pavements speckled with the tables of open-air restaurants and cafés. Day or night, this is where most people congregate to relax and rendez-vous over a wine or arehucas – Gran Canaria’s sugar-cane rum. And talking of evenings, the cosy bars in and around the square light up at night, offering an alternative to the otherwise hotel-centred entertainment. When the shopping urge becomes irresistible, Bahia’s souvenir and duty-free stores answer your call, although you might well be tempted by the mega-malls of Playa del Inglés. And for full-on family excitement, take a bus or cab to the theme parks or go-karting circuits centred on Playa and Maspalomas to the south. When you fancy sunning it, tootle along Bahia’s promenade till you clock a prime spot on the sands. A breezy, dark-sand beach framed by rocky headlands and sparkling seas, it’s great for whiling away a morning or afternoon, although the sometimes strong undercurrents aren’t great for young children. The beauty of Bahia though is that you’re close to a host of other, golden beaches. Head to Playa del Inglés to revel in its vast sands or further south to Maspalomas with its dazzling beach and incredible sand dunes, formed from dry Saharan winds.
