Extended Family Holiday
Booked through - My Choice
Flights with - ?
Stay - 1 weeks Self Catering
Month - February
After our Greek disaster we trusted a family member who had been to these apartments and I booked along with the kids and a lot of extended family 13 in total. The apartments are built on a hill as are most in Gran Canaria but I was not expecting to have the option of either climbing the remake of the great wall of china or risk my life in a dodgy looking cable car that belonged in Alton Towers because the lift was out. This was before I even got into the apartments so I was bracing myself for horror. The apartments themselves were very very basic with a living area/kitchen with one bedroom and a bathroom. I did have to complain due to sightings of some cockroaches that seem to have taken some kind of steroid type medicine. The rooms were kept clean but that was mainly by me because the bedding was changed just once in the week.
The pool we took one look and decided that if we wanted to make it home in one piece we should avoid because you couldn't see the bottom. So we took the long walk down to the beach everyday which we loved. The amadores beach is beautiful and clean with all the amenities you would need right on the beach.
Puerto Rico itself is what you would expect from a British tourist hotspot loads of bars, clubs, restaurants and lucky lucky men selling the latest GUGGI or ROLIX watch. We ate every night in Puerto Rico and the food was always good especially in the Las Vegas where you could have a whole cow on a plate for 8 euros. We didn't go to clubs but we would have a few drinks in the family bars and I had some amazing cocktails in the beachcomber.
I liked Puerto Rico some parts are quite tacky but it takes me back to the holidays I had as a kid that I loved and I want my children to experience all different types of travel from caravans to log cabins to a bit of cheese in Puerto Rico.
