Portonovo Apartments

in Puerto Rico , Gran Canaria T rating: 3

 
  • Close to beach and resort centre
  • Fantastic views
  • Modern décor
Looking out over a marina and the beach, these modern apartments know a thing or two about great views.
It’s the location that scores top marks here. Overlooking the marina and just a five-minute walk from the beach, these apartments offer up impressive sea views. A ten-minute walk along the coast, meanwhile, takes you to the heart of lively Puerto Rico. It’s packed with shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

Setting aside, the swimming pool is noteworthy. It’s the shape of a triangle and is set facing the marina, which means you can watch the boats bob in and out of the harbour while you relax on the sun terrace or by the snack bar. What’s more, the whole set-up is fringed by palm trees and well-kept lawns, there’s a real air of privacy.

As for the apartments, they’ve recently been renovated so everything’s up to date. Décor is fresh and classic – think whitewashed walls, tiled floors and a mix of wooden and wicker furniture. They all come with satellite TVs and well-equipped kitchens, too, as well as sea or harbour-facing balconies or terraces.

Lastly, when you don’t fancy cooking, the hotel’s pool bar serves up snacks like toasties, omelettes and burgers throughout the day. For proper meals, head down to the marina for tapas and fresh seafood on the harbourside terraces. Or, for more in the way of eateries and after-dinner entertainment, make for Puerto Rico and make a night of it.

Your guide to Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria

"Fun and sun-seekers alike will love Puerto Rico for its countless entertainment, great shopping and scorching nightlife."

Holidays don’t come more fun-packed or sun-packed than this. Set in a narrow rocky valley, with apartments and hotels terraced up its steep sides, Puerto Rico is a family favourite that’s filled with things to do. And its position on Gran Canaria’s south-west coast means it basks in superb sunshine too. With calm waters and cashmere soft sands, you’d never guess the resort’s popular beach was man-made. Get here early to grab a prize spot, or head for the two public swimming pools surrounded by sub-tropical gardens, just behind the sands. Once you’re done lazing around, you’ll find everything else here is all go. Stroll to the marina and pick from the multitude of watersports available, including parasailing, pleasure cruises, jet skiing and game fishing. Alternatively, a whole bunch of other activities await behind the waterfront – the water park, minigolf or tennis anyone? And don’t forget the shopping. With its innumerable duty-free outlets, boutiques and gift stores, Puerto Rico is a shopaholic’s dream. When all this gets too much, you’ll find lots of places to simply sit, eat and enjoy a few sangrias. Hightail it down to the marina and take a seat at one of the many British-style restaurants and pavement cafés – or soak up the atmosphere of a tapas bar and chill to your heart’s content. By night, the resort fits firmly in the ‘something for everyone’ bracket. Quiet waterfront restaurants? Tick. Family-friendly bars? Tick. Late-night discos playing your favourite party anthems? Tick. Around the traffic-free centre, you’ll find a great selection of pubs, clubs and karaoke bars. There’s a pace to suit everyone in this fun-filled island slice.

Have been to Puerto Rico many times since the eighties. This was the first time we had stayed near the harbour, it made a pleasant change not to have all the steps to deal with. The weather was perfect, just the tonic we needed before Christmas. The... more on this review
