Neighbourhood
The apartment is in Puerto Rico, Mogan and overlooks Amadores Beach. Nearby (5min walk) there is the Europa shopping centre where you can find restaurants, shops and bars. About a 5 minute drive away is the centre of Puerto Rico with its shopping malls, harbour with watersports and excursions. The Tauro Golf Course is also only a 5 minute drive too.
Getting to my home
You can fly to LPA (Las Palmas / Gran Canaria) Airport. From here you can get a bus, taxi or rental car to the apartment. The buses go directly to Puerto Rico main bustop and from here you can get a taxi easily to the apartment
Nearest airport
LPA around 40 mins by car.
Getting Around
You can walk to the nearest shops, restaurants and bars in about 10 minutes on the flat, as well as the beach (which is down a steep hill). Most people walk down and get a cheap taxi back.
There is a taxi rank outside the building and they are inexpensive and easy and all run on a metre.
We had a fantastic experience at Alexandra's beautiful home in Puerto Rico. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly located to enjoy everything Gran Canaria has to offer. The views were stunning.
What really set this stay apart was Alexandra's professionalism and outstanding communication. From the moment of initial conversations almost 2 years ago, the process was seamless, friendly, and efficient. It's clear that Alexandra is a genuine, considerate host who ensures her guests have the best possible experience. As Alexandra mentioned, there has been an accidental damage and we were so stressful of it but Alexandra made us relieved and everything including the cost was sorted with shared trust and understanding. Your politeness and positivity are truly appreciated Alex!:)
This was our first time actually meeting our host face to face, and it reinforced how much I love this system! Alexandra and Quino went above and beyond to welcome us to their home in Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria. They picked us up at the airport (knowing that we would be discombobulated by the two flights leading us here) and brought us to their lovely apartment in Puerto Rico. There, they'd provided samples of the local cheese and wine, because, though our conversations, they knew how interested we were in local foods. The apartment was spotlessly clean, cozy and fully equipped -- but the VIEW was what blew us away. There is a 270 degree view of the ocean, and the beach below that is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just reading a book under the umbrella. We had never been to Gran Canaria, and took the exchange on a whim -- but we are so glad we did. We discovered a completely new area, but more importantly, we've met Alex and Quino, who I'm certain we will be friends with moving forward.
Our stay at Alex's vacation home in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria (Amadores) was the starting point for our May 2025 Spain adventure. This was our 'vacation stop' and it was incredible.
We highly recommend exchanging with Alex. Every box was checked to provide a great exchange experience.
Alex's home was comfortable, had everything we needed, and the terrace and daily views, including sunsets were breath-taking.
Our communication throughout was excellent, and Alex's assistance with our questions during the planning stage really helped!
Alex's home documentation was very helpful. We explored most of what was highlighted, including the market in Mogan, Maspalomas Dunes and many other great places. The dining recommendations were great, and we did visit the Grill Garoe a few times which has an excellent selection, tasty food and great overall value.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us, and we look forward to meeting you two when you arrive in Toronto soon.
What can we say about our stay at Alex’s in Puerto Rico on Gran Canaria? One word: fabulous!
I offered Alex and her husband a globe so my sister and I could have our yearly meetup, just the two of us! We were warmly welcomed upon our arrival and were shown around their stunning appartment, it is quaint, clean, modern with everything you need to have a great holiday.
My sister and I felt so grateful to meet them both, they are so friendly and relaxed, it made us feel right at home. We felt very spoiled as well with the stunning view from the terrasse of the nicest beach on the island and such exquisit sunsets (and rainbows!).
We had rented a car to visit the island with ease, but we noticed that there were loads of taxis and buses to move around, and the complex is situated at walking distance to restaurants and shops.
During our 9 day stay we visited the piscinas naturales in Agaete in the North, the charming village of Mogán, valleys and mountains where we ate in a cave restaurant close to Guayadeque (stunning region!)… oh and we did ALOT of beaching on the Amadores beach!
All in all, I would highly recomment to anyone to exchange with Alex, this was an absolutely wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful stay thanks to Alexandra''s organisation and communication skills.
Ours was a ten day exchange where we were looking for sunshine, good walking together with accommodation to match. We found it, a well appointed apartment. The accommodation was within walking distance of supermarkets, bars, cafes and restaurants.
Alexandra and her husband welcomed us at the apartment. They were very kind in briefing us shortly about it, as they were worried about us being tired from the trip.
They had some treats prepared, which we really enjoyed.
We had the chance to be with Alexandra later on, which was super fun (she's hilarious) and she gave us lot's of tips, as she know the island very well.
The apartment has a beautiful view, all the utensils you need, is near the beach Amadores) and has a supermarket across the street and other services.
We recommend staying ar their place and are looking forward to host them in February.
Silvana & Vasco
Cozy apartment, well located in the south of the island. Renovated and decorated with very good taste, very clean and with magnificent views.
We knew the island, so we took the opportunity to go to the beach, walk and eat in the restaurants in the area. These days helped us disconnect and get out of the routine.
Simply thank Alexandra and her partner for giving us the opportunity to enjoy their apartment as a family. We loved it!.
Thanks Angel! We had an amazing time at your place too and it was lovely to meet you! Thank you for leaving our apartment so perfectly.
Thank you for taking care of our house and leaving it tidy and clean. It sound like you had a great time. . We are looking forward to our stay at yours.
Best wishes
Peter and Alison
It was a pleasure to meet you both and allowed us to thank you in person for sharing your wonderful home with us. We highly recommend you as guests and hosts to all home exchange members.
You set the bar high for both guests and hosts, truly demonstrating how our PLU community works so well. Our experiences included great communication, help with planning, exploring, and dining ideas and of course a high level of respect for each other's home.
Thank you, Alex, for sharing this excellent end-to-end non-simultaneous exchange. We started this exchange planning over 14 months ago and it's been our pleasure to learn from such a wonderful couple. We hope to cross paths again in the future. Wishing you all the best in your new home!
Communication with Alexandra was great, as it had been also before/during our stay in Gran Canária.
We looked very much forward to welcome her and her husband, but unfortunately they had to leave much earlier then planned, as something unexpected happened.
So, we hope they come back soon to enjoy Porto, that everything is well and that we hopefully can make this dinner happen 😁
The apartment was as we left it👌
Aaaand we had a nice surprise some days after their departure. They send a nice souvenir and a lovely thank you card ♥️
They are a lovely and very funny couple and we'd love to meet again.
Best,
Silvana and Vasco
Alex and her group were perfect guests. we were lucky enough to meet them before the swap. The house was left in a beautiful condition and communication was very easy. We look forward to keeping in touch and meeting on the other side of the world one day.
Alex and her family were perfect guests, easy to communicate with, and left the apartment in spotless condition - we would very happily host them again. We were sorry not to get the chance meet in person as we were out of town.
From the first contact everything was easy with Alexandra. In fact, we agreed on the exchange in just one day, it was that easy! Friendly, communicative, polite, respectful people with similar thoughts in many aspects. A charm of people.
As for our home, we have no complaints. They treated it as if it were theirs, they left everything in perfect condition. Do not hesitate to exchange with them, they are very serious people. I'm glad they were our first exchange at PLU, because it couldn't have been better. We will never forget that it was the first home we were in as an exchange. Everything was perfect. A strong hug.
Tom and Katleen were great guests, communication was flawless and they were considerate and respectful. Would be welcome back anytime!
The communication with Burcin was excellent from start to finish. Unfortunately there was some accidental damage while she was at our apartment, but she was so quick to inform me and take full responsibility for it even getting a quote to get it repaired and paying for it. An accident can happen to anyone, but the way she handled it really showed me what a wonderful and genuine person she is. I appreciated her honesty beyond words and she will always be welcome back. She is a polite, positive and considerate.
Peter and Alison's home is a beautiful property set in the most idyllic place. The home has everything you need and there was a generous bag of food and drink when we arrived.
I very much enjoyed the upstairs terrace where you have amazing views and a lovely seating area which was ideal for enjoying a good book!
The nearby village was also a delight to visit in the evening and we love the Cretan food!
We enjoyed our time there very much and look forward to welcoming Peter and Alison to our home
Deanna and Ian were THE most amazing guests! I absolutely loved hosting them and I can 100% recommend them as guests. They are considerate, respectful, fantastic communicators and we felt very happy to have them in our home.
They left our property in perfect condition and I can't wait to see them again when we get to their property. Wonderful, kind and thoughtful people! Exchanges like this is what this community is all about!
Deanna and Ian are absolutely delightful! We were lucky enough to meet them and have a lovely lunch together and we really enjoyed their company! They are considerate and respectful guests and I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone! What a pleasure to host such lovely people - I hope we will cross paths again and be able to enjoy their company in the future.
Daniel and Darlene are the nicest couple and gave us a lovely welcome to their house and really underline the PLU way of thinking.
Both my husband and I fell in love with Toronto and I think that this was mostly due to Daniel's beautiful home! After over 50 exchanges, I can honestly say that this was one of my absolute favourites! If you are planning to visit Toronto, you really couldn't choose a better property! The views were outstanding, waking up overlooking the sunrise behind the CN Tower and the skyline, as well as enjoying listening to the baseball live from the balcony after a long day exploring! Daniel and Darlene were kind enough to leave us their bikes which we used to visit Toronto Island and it was such a lovely experience. The home is really comfortable and welcoming, from the lovely rugs, plants and comfy bed and sofa to the little details around the home. I would wholeheartedly recommend their home! Thank you so much Daniel and Darlene!
Jennifer was a great guest and would be welcome back anytime! The communication was perfect and she left the apartment in excellent condition! She was a pleasure to host!
Daniel was a wonderful guest. Unfortunately we did not meet in person as we were out of the country but communication was smooth and easy. He left the apartment in perfect condition. He and his wife would be welcome bak anytime!
Catherine and her sister were fantastic guests and an absolute pleasure to host! Communication was easy and they are lovely people.
They would be welcome back anytime!
Silvana has a wonderful, welcoming home and they are such a lovely couple. The bed was really comfortable! Unfortunately we had an emergency at home and had to leave after only one night so didn’t get to explore Porto, but Silvana was super understanding and so considerate. We were so grateful to her and her husband. We were looking forward to spending some time with them as they really are a lovely couple! Thank you for everything!
Catherine was a delight to host. Great communication from the start and left the apartment in perfect condition. She would be welcome back anytime! Thank you Catherine!
Miriam and Nathan's house is in a lovely location in gorgeous Manly. It is a beautiful property and it was a real pleasure to stay there.. We found we didn't need a car, as everything was within walking distance (10 mins to the beach for our morning swims, 15 mins to the terminal to get the ferry straight into downtown Sydney). It was great to be able to meet up with Miriam and Nathan before the stay and communication was easy with them. Thank you for hosting us and hopefully our paths will cross again! :)
Sevilla and Scott were fantastic guests, Unfortunately we didn't get to meet them as we were away, but the communication was perfect and they left the flat in perfect condition. They would be welcome back anyrime!
Joel and Jan's home is beautiful and comfortable with a fantastic view. The communication with Joel was perfect and much appreciated. They were great hosts and the home is perfectly positioned for visiting and exploring Sydney! Everything was fantastic and we are very grateful to them for hosting us over Christmas! Thank you!
John and Lyn were wonderful guests and an absolute pleasure to host.
The communication was easy and they left the apartment in perfect condition. Thank you!
Silvana and her husband are amazing guests. The communication was perfect, they were thoughtful and had a great sense of humor!
They left the apartment perfectly and they would be very welcome back anytime!
They are a pleasure to host.
The flat is spacious and very comfortable. You have everything you need and more! Communication with Angel was flawless and easy. The bed was comfortable and the main bedroom was very quiet. This flat was in a fantastic location, only steps from the sea. We had a lovely stay and discovered many charming corners of the area including the wild beach nearby. The whole area is amazing for snorkelling and we really enjoyed. There were many good restaurants along the seaside promenade too. We had a lovely time just relaxing and enjoying the area.
Angel and his family were fantastic guests and would be welcome back anytime. They left the apartment spotless and the communication was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angel and his family as guests. An absolute pleasure. Thank you Angel!
