The Hotel Derby Sevilla is in one of the busiest areas of the city where public transportation, shops, restaurants, and attractions are within easy walking distance. Although the lobby is bright and modern, the rooms are a touch dated with patterned bedspreads and small bathrooms. Some rooms have nice city views while others look at cement, but there is free Wi-Fi in all. A rooftop terrace has gorgeous city views. Parking isn’t available on-site; however, at El Corte Inglés, guests are allowed to park for a discounted daily rate. There may not be many extras, but the Hotel Derby Sevilla is good for business travelers and tourists who care more about location than looks.

The upper-middle-range Hotel San Gil is a charming property located on the northern edge of the historic center of Seville. Although there are few major attractions within easy walking distance, two bus lines and the tourist hop-on, hop-off bus stop nearby. Its 85 rooms vary in size and decor style -- classic or modern -- but all feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and safes. The restaurant serves a great breakfast buffet (not included in the standard rate) and tasty regional cuisine for lunch and dinner. It shares a lovely courtyard with the hotel bar, which has a long drinks menu and a few snacks. The small rooftop pool is a great perk in the hot summer months, and there are seasonal flamenco shows on-site. In this price range, Hotel Alcazar is a good alternative closer to the main sights.

Located in a quiet area adjacent to famous Nikki Beach club, the 205-room ME Ibiza is one of the chicest properties in this part of the island. Minimalist all-white decor and soft lounge music lend this luxury property a relaxing, cool vibe, while top-notch services such as a private boat for day trips, rooftop massages, adult-only areas, and free yoga classes draw well-heeled couples and groups of friends. Rooms are hip and modern, with flat-screen TVs, mood lighting, minibars and iPod docks, but not all units have balconies and some may find the glass-enclosed showers lacking in privacy. It's also worth comparing rates with the nearby and just as luxurious Aguas de Ibiza, which has a more central location just off of Santa Eulalia’s main promenade.

The three-pearl Aparthotel Orquidea is a self-catering spot with Santa Eualia Beach to its back, a lively pool area, and daily organized activities. The hotel also has all-inclusive packages that include the buffet restaurant and three bars. Snagging free parking or a poolside lounger during the summer can be difficult, and several people feel the activities come in under par, though the hotel remains fairly packed throughout the year.

For those willing to trade the entertainment and kid features for an apartment stay smack in the middle of Santa Eulalia des Rio, check out the rooms and rooftop pool at Duquesa Playa.

The upper-middle-range MS Aguamarina Apartments has 130 rooms in Torremolinos, a quick four-minute walk from the beach. A plethora of restaurants, bars, and shops are in the immediate area.
