oooh, there are so many.. it depends where you want to go in GC.. Puerto Rico is very lively and there are a number of family hotels there but personally, it's not one of my fave places as many of the hotels are a 2 day trek by donkey to the beach :lol:

Tuarito is a quieter resort and there are 2 AI hotels there, Suite Princess and Taurito Princess. Whichever you stay in, you can use the facilities of the other one. Both have good kids clubs ( they call it the Animation programme) loads to do from 9am until approx 5pm and all the usual kiddies disco's in the evening and presentation of prizes etc..

There isn't a specific childrens menu ( ie: chicken nuggest/fish fingers) as everything is buffet style, however, there will be something to please your kids no matter what age ( the youngest aged 14 now was such a fussy eater but even he ate well when we were there last)

Hotel provides free buses to resorts of Puerto Mogan and Puerto Rico as well as a bus to Maspalomas ( where the famous sand dunes are).
Puerto Mogan is the most beautiful place and i fell in love with it, its called Little Venice due to all its little canals and bridges etc.

Would thoroughly recommend the place, however, the resort is very quiet and may not suit everyone. There is also a hotel being built in the resort not far from Taurito Princess.. but the building work did not bother us at all. We always stay there and are going back with the rest of the family in 11 weeks....

Amadores is another nice resort with a nice beach, busier than Taurito but not a really heaving place.

The transfer times are approx 40/45 mins from airport, mainly on the moterway and Taurito is the first drop off. Coming back was very tedious as you are winding in and out of narrow streets in PR and some of the hotels are not very nice. It took us over 2 hours upon return transfer...not good if your kids suffer travel sickness.. but taxis can be hired easily..

enjoy wherever you end up going.....
