Brochure Guide


Beautiful beaches, glorious sunshine and tropical temperatures all year round and a breathtaking landscape. Gran Canaria is the perfect location for a beach holiday. With many options available for both the single tourist and travelling family, it is a lovely location not far from the African coast. One of the many advantages in Gran Canaria is the weather: the sun shines for 12 months of the year and temperatures are mostly in the late teens to mid 20s.

Amadores review

"Amadores Beach"

resort to a friend

Open quote

Having been to Gran Canaria before and stayed in Puerto Rico and spent quiet alot of euros on taxis to and from Amadores beach, we decided this time we would try and find somewhere nearer to Amadores. We spent most days on the beach, and didnt go in the pool at all. We ate at mostly at the Beach Bars the one we particularly liked was Bahlia (situated near steps).There is no nightlife for the party goers, but just a relaxed atmosphere and a fantastic view of the sea and sunset as you have your meal. The beach is particularly busy on Saturdays and Sundays when the locals come down. Sunbeds 3 euros, brollies 2.5euros. We did find that the cost of the meals seemed more expensive than previous years. Our evening meals cost between 45 - 55 euros.

The resort was very good, at night time it was lively and bars were always mobbed. PR's did get very annoying as they pester you to go in to their bars.

Beach was lovely and clean.

We were half board so did not eat out all that often. Hard Rock Cafe near the Yumbo Centre was great, little bit pricey though.

Puerto Rico review

"Puerto Rico... not too bad"

88%
of reviewers would recommend this
resort to a friend

Open quote

Puerto Rico itself is very pretty and i'm sure everyone else who has been there would agree. However, the thing that spoils your holiday is people outside the shops and markets trying to get you in to buy things. We got hassled every 5 mins to buy sunglasses on the street.. even though me and my wife were wearing some at the time...!?! The same is at night, it's quite dodgy and someone staying in the same hotel was nearly robbed but he faught them off. Keep your hands in your pockets and just dont make eye contact with people who might be to approach you... and if you pay a visit to the cash point... actually.. no don't! yobs hang out there...

Puerto Rico review

"puerto rico"

resort to a friend

Open quote

puerto rico is suitable for couples, families and also party animals. the commercial centre has something for everyone. great resturants, plentifu bars and clubs. and lots of souveneir shops which are a bit overpriced. my two favourite resturants are san miguel in the commercial centre and a lovely chillout resturant called minanas which is about 50 ards from the cala d,or, the chef juan takes real pride in his food, i have never tasted anything like it. the atmosphere is so relaxed and peter makes you most welcome, a definate must!! puerto rico beach is quite nice but no visit to puerto rico woud be complete without a trip to amadores beach with its caribbean white sands and tourquoise waters, it is a fabulous walk along the cliffs from puerto rico harbour.
