    My absolute fave europe destination. What hotel are you in? You should spend more time at Amadores Beach than Puerto Rico beach, lovely restuarants and just generally a nicer beach. The europa centre is lovely for a bite to eat at lunchtime and a drink. Caracolas (seashells) Restaurant on Amadores Beach is fantastic, and we had a wonderful Chateubriand in the Europa centre and also on the beach - can't remember the names though. We ate down at the beach most lunch times and dinners and never had a bad meal...soooooo jealous!!! I would go there every year if I could but OH doesn't like to do the same place twice - he wants to see the world me thinks!

    I've been, but it was about 15 years ago before I was a grown up ?

    We were looking at going to Puerto Mogan (before I booked greece) which is beautiful, definitely worth a trip

    Also, one of our fave destinations - been there a few times.

    Only recommendation, apart from Amadores Beach is that you have to visit Pancho Villa Mexican Restaurant (if you like mexican that is?!?!) Its not easy to find but any taxi will take you there. Its at a dead end kinda level 2 of the left hand side ( thats the busier side, if you have your back to the sea). Thoroughly recommend it.

    Got the boat to Mogan, lovely place but I get seasick (I didn't realise this until we were on the boat) so the second time we got the bus which was quicker, cheaper, and less sickening...the boat would be lovely if you like boats though IFSWIM

    Let me know if there are any other Qs, x

    My only experience of Gran Canaria was a last minute deal I mistakingly took to Playa del Ingles. Never again. It's the only holiday I have ever been on when I just wished I'd stayed at home.

    Puerta Rico must be much nicer because I have friends that go back there year in year out.
