Playas del Rey  * * *

An appealing, small, friendly option with a welcoming, homely feel and well-located for the main, wide, sandy resort beach just along the street. The pool area is a bit cramped and being close to the road, suffers from traffic noise.

Nothing on offer for children here, so attracts couples and more mature guests looking for a personal service and a good selection of local amenities close by. Good transport links to other locations on the island from a main roundabout a short walk away.
