A river-style pool, great gardens and plenty in the way of activities. Family-friendly hotels don’t get much better than this.”

The Aparthotel Bonaire has been voted the top hotel in Europe for families by TripAdvisor - so you're guaranteed a massive range of facilities.

First up though, it’s in a great location. Pulled up against countryside at the north-east end of Cala Bona, it’s just a short walk from the beach and the marina. Plus, there’s a little tourist train to trundle you into Cala Bona centre and to nearby Cala Millor.

Back at base, though, there’s loads going on. You’ve got a Thomson Kids' Club with activities for 3 to12-year-olds, plus a playground, which will keep them happily clambering for ages. There’s a crèche, too, and for those at the other end of the age scale, the Grid, where teenagers can learn everything from TV skills to DJ-ing. The fun continues into the evenings as well, with talent shows, live entertainment and mini-discos. There's also a new Splash Park planned for twenty ten.

The pool has been styled a bit like a river. It wends its way through huge, palm-dotted terraces. Sprinkled with sunloungers and parasols, the looping terraces and adjoining lawns offer up plenty of quiet corners. There’s also an indoor pool, plus a gym and sauna offering more in the way of chill-out time.

As to the hotel itself, it gets really good guest reviews for its cleanliness and friendly service. The food gets a few gold stars, too, with child-height buffet counters and breakfasts featuring classics like pancakes and pastries. And to top it all off, the accommodation is really family-friendly. Everything is arranged in comfortable one-bedroom apartments done out with separate lounges and balconies, as well as kitchenettes.
