Gran Canaria Escape – Servatur Puerto Azul, Puerto Rico

Hillside hotel on Gran Canaria’s south coast

Built into a hillside overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the town of Puerto Rico on the south coast of Gran Canaria, this family-friendly hotel offers superb views – and it has the quality and variety of amenities to match its fabulous setting.

Think five outdoor swimming pools and an exclusive adults only (18+) zone with an infinity pool. You’ll also have access to a gym a multi-sports court, and a spa centre that offers a range of relaxing massages and treatments. Fancy hitting the beach? There’s a delightful stretch of sand just a 10-15 minute stroll away. The hotel caters brilliantly for kids as well, thanks to a shallow pool and splash park with slides, water jets and sprinklers, a playground, and a mini club offering a fun-packed activity programme.

When it comes to meal times, expect a gastronomic feast at the buffet restaurant, where you’ll find multiple show cooking stations so you can watch the chefs whip up all kinds of dishes inspired by flavours from around the world. Drinks are served at the lobby bar and the poolside bar, with the latter also offering a tasty selection of snacks to keep you going throughout the day.

Later on, enjoy the live music performances and other family-friendly entertainment, or feel free to venture into town and check out the local nightlife scene (bearing in mind you might want to take a taxi back to avoid the steep uphill climb).
