Take your own bike for around £30 each way. Done this to Lanzarote, Grand Canaria and Tenerife for many years. Pack bike in cardboard box from Halfords or LBS and get a soft bag to help carry it/waterproof it.

It's then a bike you know, maintain and fit. In all the years I've never had anything bent or damaged. I'm a bit OCD about packing it and remove anything that could get bent such as rotors.

Kids now don't come with us but when they were younger would go out v. early and be back mid morning to take over parenting duties by the pool whilst wife cooked herself in the sun.
(Kids clubs are also good to look out for when your daughter is a little older.)

Normally we go in Feb half term or easter - no blazing hot but nice enough.

Everybody then has happy holiday

Off to Lanzarote in 7 days 😀 and planning on renting a road bike. Plenty of options to do so according to a mate who goes regularly and will be there at same time as me this year. Quiet roads and interesting terrain by all accounts. Can get breezy but given my other interests that's not a bad thing.
