Playa BlancaOn our lists
THB Tropical Island is a big apartment resort of 414 units in Playa Blanca, about 800 metres, or roughly a 10-minute walk, from Playa Dorada, with a free beach bus for days when you would rather ride. Its 15 pools are the headline: two giant pools, eight round pools and five for children, with eight of them heated in winter, plus two splash parks.
Apartments give families room to spread out, and you can choose room only, breakfast, half board or all inclusive, with buffet dining throughout. The Miniclub keeps younger children busy, and a football academy takes ages 5 to 15. Adults have their own area with a semi-Olympic pool, a chill-out space and a pool bar, a thermal spa for over-18s with thalassotherapy, a Turkish bath and a sauna, and a gym with a boxing area. It suits families who want space and a choice of board.
