Just stayed at a couple of places in Portugal which were "adults only" and it was fine. Also stayed at places which were explicitly child friendly and designed with facilities for children. Seems perfectly reasonable so long as there are a mix of places in an area available for different needs.

(I guess a hotel which had children allowed and non-children allowed sections far enough apart that you could have a child-free area would be a possible workaround; in the same way that not EVERY room needs to be handicap-friendly even if you need a certain number which are)

I recently stayed at a group of resorts like this. The left-hand side was geared towards families with young children; the middle side was geared towards vacationing families; the right-hand side seemed geared to singles there to engage in drunken debauchery, like me.
