Adults only hotels in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria: where to stay

The simplest choice is to stay close to Playa de Puerto Rico, the main beach, roughly half a mile from the centre of the resort. If you want to swim before breakfast and walk back for lunch, this is the area to search first.

A little further along the coast, Anfi del Mar Beach, Playa de Balitos and Playa de Cura are each a little over a mile away. Playa de Tiritaña and Playa de Patalavaca are just under two miles off. Staying towards any of them gives you a different stretch of sand on your doorstep, while the town beach stays within easy reach. It is worth checking a property's position against these beaches on the map before you book.

British travellers looking at this resort tend to want one of three things. The first is an adults only hotel, for a quieter fortnight by the pool. The second is self catering in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, which leaves you free to eat when and where you like. The third, for groups and families who want their own space, is a villa.

If self-catering holidays in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria appeal, look closely at how far the property is from the town beach. That half-mile walk matters more when you are carrying shopping. For holiday villas in Puerto Rico, the same logic applies: decide whether being near Playa de Puerto Rico or one of the beaches further along suits your days better. The hotel price panel on this page lets you compare these options side by side.

Most British visitors book as a package, with flight, hotel and transfer together. The deal buttons here compare Jet2holidays, TUI holidays, loveholidays and On the Beach. A package also lets you choose your board basis: self catering, half board or all inclusive, depending on the property.

Timing affects both comfort and cost. Every month except August is listed as a good time to go. August is the hottest, at around 33°C, and July is close behind at 31°C. Prices across the board tend to rise during UK school holidays, so travelling outside them usually gives you more choice. The wettest stretches, in March and November, still bring only around 30mm of rain. If you want to explore beyond the resort, you can also compare car hire, tours and tickets here.
