The three-pearl Royal Sun is a family-friendly resort located on a steep hill above Los Gigantes. The property offers 120 spacious apartments with full kitchens, living rooms with sofa beds, and large furnished terraces with stunning panoramic ocean views. Decor is a tad dated throughout, but apartments have all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation, including flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. There are plenty of loungers around the pool -- a good thing since the beach isn't within walking distance -- plus a casual bar and restaurants serving tasty European cuisine. A small fitness center includes a squash court, and the resort has a kids’ club and entertainment program. Travelers looking for something cheaper and closer to the town center may want to consider El Sombrero.
