Holiday Club Sol Amadores

The resort and its setting

Holiday Club Sol Amadores is an independent resort in Puerto Rico, on Gran Canaria's south coast in the Las Palmas province. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 from 438 reviews, and the general sense is of a relaxed, no-frills rather than flashy property: airy apartments and suites, some with ocean views and private hot tubs, set around an outdoor pool. It's a practical base for a week or two rather than a destination in its own right, which suits owners who want straightforward self-catering accommodation close to the beach and the town centre.

Puerto Rico and the surrounding area

Puerto Rico grew up around its marina and is now one of the busiest holiday towns on Gran Canaria's south coast, with a sheltered beach, a working harbour, and a long promenade lined with bars, restaurants and shops. It's a few minutes' drive from Mogán's old fishing village and harbour, and a short drive along the coast to Mogán Beach and the area's dramatic cliff-backed coastline. Inland, the Barranco de Mogán valley offers walking trails with sweeping views over the ravines towards the interior of the island. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island's capital, is around 45 minutes to an hour by car, with its Vegueta old quarter and Casa de Colón museum worth a day trip. Gran Canaria Airport is roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Puerto Rico, depending on traffic, and a hire car is the easiest way to see more of the island beyond the resort area.

Selling or renting a week here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: there's no commission on a sale, just a one-time listing fee, and you set your own asking price. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of negotiations and the final decision.

Because Holiday Club Sol Amadores is an independent resort, any resale goes through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded head office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these vary by unit and contract and aren't published figures we can quote here. Confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week: the usage rights, any banked or carried-over points or weeks, and whether there's an outstanding balance on the maintenance fee. A resale buyer typically takes on the contract as it stands, so it's worth both parties having the figures confirmed by the resort before anything is signed.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly after dates, unit size and whether a sea view or hot tub is included — be specific about these in your listing, since that's what drives enquiries.

Practical notes for buyers and sellers

If you're listing a week, note the resort's exact address (Calle Tenerife 11, 35130 Puerto Rico), mention whether your unit has an ocean view or hot tub, and be upfront about current annual fees once you have them from the resort — buyers ask about this early. If you're buying or renting, build in a transfer-fee check with the resort or association before completing, since this affects your total cost. We can't confirm this resort's affiliation with any exchange network, so don't rely on exchange access as a selling point unless you've checked directly with management.
