Puerto Rico has grown from a sedate little fishing village into one of Gran Canaria's most popular resorts. No doubt helped by the fact that it's the sunniest spot on the whole island! Popular with families and couples, the resort has a golden beach, picturesque marina and plenty of fun activities for all.

Horseshoe beach...

Puerto Rico's gorgeous horseshoe-shaped beach enjoys soft sands that shelve gradually into calm, shallow waters, ideal for families with small children. The stunning golden sands were imported from the Sahara desert - no expense spared here! There are plenty of sun beds where you can bask in the glorious Spanish sunshine.
