Activities/Attractions: Puerto Rico, one of Gran Canaria’s most popular family resorts, is situated at the mouth of a large valley. Once a small fishing port, today it's bustling in high season but very nice and quiet in low season. It has a small but beautiful beach, covered with sand from the Sahara, where space is rare and sun beds are even lined up on a jetty.

Set back from the beach, in a lush tropical garden with exotic plants and flowers you will find two public swimming pool lidos. Renowned to be the sunniest spot of the island, this holiday resort is a true paradise for sun worshippers.

Puerto Rico is also known for the many water sports activities it is offering, ranging from jet-skiing, sailing, diving, big game fishing and windsurfing to leisure excursions such as pleasure boat trips along the coast, dolphin watching cruises or a trip in a glass bottom boat to discover the world under the water surface. Other ‘off-beach’ attractions include:

• golf courses
  
• a water park featuring all kinds of entertainment for young and old
  
• an attractive shopping centre nearby
  
• a nice harbour, renowned as a sailing centre
  
• deep-sea fishing is also at its greatest here
  
• a leisurely 5 minute stroll to the beach
  
• local shops, where you will be able to get a vast majority of your food and drink, are only a 5 minute walk away
  

• a bigger shopping centre after another 10 minutes by foot

"The Scorpio apartments were very clean and inviting, the staff very friendly especially to our daughters aged 4 and 6 years ... We enjoyed it so much that we have booked to go back to the Scorpio apartments again in October. I wish the months would go by allot quicker than they are at the moment though."

"The Scorpio Apartments are clean and bright with great views over the whole resort of Puerto Rico. They are right up at the top but the walk down is nice and there are short cuts so it doesn't take long at all ... everything else is great, nice pool area, quiet location and friendly staff."
