The Hotel Roc Golf's 390 fresh, classic rooms are contained in a massive reinforced concrete building set directly on the beach. Rooms are a bit plain, but they're spacious clean, as are the facilities. Some guests have complained of long lines in the on-site restaurants, but there are numerous other places to eat in the vicinity and on-site restaurants offer a variety of food. Some hidden fees are surprising, but overall this is a solid value considering the many outdoor pool and activities such as dance classes and a sports court.

This large resort with all-inclusive options is located directly on the beach and a 10-minute drive from the port town of Roquetas de Mar. The 505 rooms here are clean but bland and outdated, with terra cotta floors and cheap-looking laminate furniture. Activities include water sports rentals, a playground, and games, and the food slants towards Spanish cuisine. Note that the sand on this part of the coast is coarse and made of tiny pebbles, but the large pool is a nice alternative.

Four-pearl Evenia Zoraida Garden is an all-inclusive chain hotel built on the slightly rocky Roquetas de Mar Beach. The hotel is popular with families and couples who want an easy beach vacation with stylish guest rooms. Some have sea views but all feature modern decor with mini-fridges. Expansive outdoor swimming pools can get crowded, especially during group activities like water aerobics. Rocks on the beach mean most guests will want to pay the extra fee for a sun bed. Dining options include everything from a pizzeria to tapas to drinks by the pool. There are a lot of rules and limitations on the all-inclusive packages and time limits for some of the facilities, which can be a real drag.

This mid-range hotel is a dated property in need of refurbishments, but it offers a good value for a beach vacation, attracting mainly Spanish families with kids. Situated a two-minute walk from the beach in a residential area of Roquetas de Mar, the resort has a nice outdoor pool with waterslides, a kids' pool, and other child-friendly features like a kids' club, game room, and outdoor playground. Breakfast buffet is included in rates, plus buffet-style half- and full-board rates are available (but food gets mixed reviews). The 321 rooms are simply decorated and come with private balconies overlooking the pool. However, amenities are poor -- there's no Wi-Fi (only in public areas) and TVs are tiny tube-style sets. For even cheaper rates, check out the Arena Center Hotel.

The 367-room Mediterraneo Park is a beach resort with a long list of amenities: four restaurants, two bars, a huge outdoor pool and hot tub, indoor pool, fitness center, and a busy entertainment schedule. Its palm-filled gardens are located directly on a gorgeous, wide beach. There are restaurants, shops, and a golf course nearby. Rooms are basic (and some might say dated, with striped patterned bedspreads) but spacious, with mini-fridges, private balconies, and free Wi-Fi. During peak season, facilities -- such as the pools and tiny fitness center -- can get crowded.

The upper-middle-range 335-room Playacapricho Hotel is a beachfront chain resort dedicated to entertaining the entire family, with a sunny atrium, large pool and nearby bar, two hot tubs, a kiddy pool, and on-site informal dining with available all-inclusive packages.

The Hotel Roc Golf Trinidad has modern decorations for higher prices, but lacks the same family atmosphere.

The 222-room Hotel Bahia Serena is an upper-middle-range beachfront hotel with apartment-style rooms complete with kitchens and balconies. There's direct beach access, picturesque sea views, and plenty of entertainment for kids (including a colorful game room) but guests have complained about outdated furnishings.

The 207-room Diverhotel Roquetas is an all-inclusive, budget chain hotel in need of a facelift, but it can be a serviceable place to soak up the Mediterranean sun. The beach is a short walk away, a golf course is nearby, and there’s a slide and hammock-equipped pool. Guests can dine at the buffet restaurant, or drink and snack poolside, and there are shows, games, and activities nearly every night. Rooms have dated decor and tiny tube TVs, but have nice balconies. Beach-revelers looking for a more inviting, glamorous stay nearby may investigate the Neptuno Hotel.

The 210-room Arena Center is a bright, mid-level beach resort that's similar to others in the area. The beach, restaurants, shopping, and a golf course are all within easy walking distance. The spacious rooms are simple and no frills, but they do include balconies, small kitchens, and sofa beds. There is a giant outdoor pool (and separate kid's pool), indoor pool, sauna, fitness center, and a buffet restaurant. Beware that rooms by the pool can get noisy and there's a pesky fee for Wi-Fi. Minimum stays are also enforced during the peak season.
