Globales Cortijo Blanco Hotel is a mid-range family-friendly hotel geared toward vacationers, many of whom are from the U.K. The 310 rooms are basic and bright, with terraces and colorful accent decor, but the bathrooms are downright tiny. The facilities are much more attractive and include five pools (a boon considering the property is not on the beach), a huge selection of facilities for kids, a tennis court, a volleyball pit, and a handful of restaurants and bars -- all-inclusive food and drink options are also available. Travelers may also want to consider the nearby Globales Pueblo Andaluz, which has similar amenities and rates.
