Puerto Rico
It is said that Puerto Rico offers more hours of sunshine than anywhere else on Gran Canaria, which is great news for all of us looking for some winter sunshine! Puerto Rico is a resort set in to the mountainous valley, overlooking the wide sandy bay and Atlantic Ocean. Puerto Rico offers a shopping centre, market, marina and more cafes, lively bars and restaurants that you will know what to do with. We are sure that this resort will offer the perfect place for a good dose of social, winter sun.
Our Adults Only Hotel
The IG Nachosol Atlantic by Survatur hotel is situated on the hillside overlooking the beach and resort of Puerto Rico, where a seafront promenade takes you to the bays beyond including the impressive Amadores beach. Our Adults Only hotel is only 10 minutes’ walk from Puerto Rico beach, so if you fancy changing your sunbathing location from poolside to beachside, this is easy to do!
The hotels La Princesa restaurant offers a great choice for breakfast and dinner is served à la carte and the pool bar, which is open until 17.00, serves snacks and drinks throughout the afternoon. A drink with a view in the afternoon definitely sounds like a good plan!
As the hotel does not have an open bar in the evenings, our time will be spent down in the town sampling one of the many bars on offer and getting our dancing shoes on!

Once in resort, if you fancy a day or two away from your sun lounger then you can head to the capital of Las Palmas and visit the Canary Museum. Here we can learn more about Christopher Columbus’s journey through the city on his voyage to America. The Cathedral of Las Palmas is also worth a visit. Built almost 600 years ago, it has a gothic interior and an imposing neoclassical facade.
Alternatively, if you’re after something more adventurous then a 4 x 4 jeep safari or a catamaran trip to search for the dolphins could be the ideal way to see more of what this lovely island has to offer – see More to Explore below.
