Puerto Plata Aparthotel

The Resort & Setting

Accommodation is apartment-style, with full kitchens and separate living space — a practical setup for families, couples or groups who would rather self-cater than live out of a single hotel room during a longer stay. The resort has direct beach access, putting swimming, sunbathing and the Atlantic within easy walking distance, so there's no need to drive anywhere for a day at the coast.

The Area and Things to Do

Puerto Rico itself is a compact, built-up resort town with a harbour, local restaurants, markets and shops selling regional crafts — easy to explore on foot from the resort. Beyond the town, Gran Canaria's volcanic interior offers hiking trails and small fishing villages tucked into coves, most within a short drive. Las Palmas, the island's capital, is about 30 minutes away and worth a day trip for its old town, Vegueta, along with its museums and shopping streets. Maspalomas, with its dunes and wider resort strip, is also within easy reach for owners who fancy a change of scenery during their stay. The subtropical climate keeps temperatures mild for most of the year, which is part of why the Canaries remain a year-round draw for UK and northern European travellers.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Puerto Plata Aparthotel is an independent resort, so resale and rental here work differently from branded chains with centralised resale desks. On BidMyTimeshare.com, owners list their week directly: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and there's 0% commission on the sale — buyers and renters contact you through the platform to agree terms directly. Because this is an independent property, any transfer of ownership goes through Puerto Plata Aparthotel's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a brand-wide resale system. If you're selling, it's worth confirming directly with the resort what transfer paperwork and fees apply before agreeing a price with a buyer — this isn't something BidMyTimeshare.com sets or controls. If you're buying, ask the seller (or the resort) for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee in writing, so there are no surprises once the transfer goes through. A resale buyer typically receives usage rights for the week purchased, along with responsibility for ongoing annual fees; anything beyond that depends entirely on the resort's own transfer process, so confirm the details in writing before completing the purchase.

Practical Notes

Renters should look for apartment-style units with kitchens if they want flexibility over meals, and should check what's included in the rental price (cleaning, linens, resort fees) directly with the owner before booking. Gran Canaria's airport has strong connections to the UK and mainland Europe, making travel straightforward for both owners and renters. From October to April, temperatures tend to be most comfortable and beaches quieter, though the island's mild climate makes it a workable destination outside the peak summer weeks too.
