Cala Dor and Marbella don't look warm enough imo.
Ibiza early season not started yet.
Maspalomas \ Anfi del mar looking good. could always book a table at cafe del mar to watch the show or, barfly there for a few cocktails. There's four open air clubs down at Central if you want it a bit more lively but in Gran Canaria its all about Reggaeton.

I have booked the Blackpool of the Canaries, Playa Del Inglise. Looks like a nice hotel Abor Continental AI, close to the bus station for trips to Mogan and 5 mins from the beach. 3 June for a week was £680pp through Tui. . If the AI is poor we can eat out in the evenings for this low price. We stayed near Mogan last year and did the whole island more or less and I thought GC was great.
It was a toss up between this and Rui Olivia in Corralejo, but I didn't want to be catching the bus when we went into town and the GC hotel had a refurb in 2018 whereas the Rui looks very 1990's.

It was freezing in July, however Alcudia is always warm in September. The sea in Playa Blanca is always freezing when we have been in March.
I wish I was in Spain right now although, I am not man enough to swim anywhere else in the sea other than Cala D'or bay 
re: Mogan, I don't think its that nice imho. I know its favoured by women of a certain age who like to prosecco but I would sooner just get a cab to Maspalomas or Anfi.
As I found out in January, prices are higher this year as the RUI 4-star Maspalomas is closing for a refurb and many more families, couples will end up in Ingles this summer simply because of that. I don't get too sniffy about Ingles but its the noise levels I can't handle.
