I found the information on http://www.canaryforum.com quite good. I suspect you have not been to PR before. Have got an allocated arrival around that time, not stopped in the Azul but would be more than happy if I get to stay there, reviews seem good too.

Just enjoy. Dont forget to use the sun tan and after sun ... and drink plenty of water. I tend to get the big bottles of water from the supermarkets and refill small half litre plastic bottles else it can get expensive for drinks. I found it easier than I thought to drive so worth thinking of hiring a car for a day or two. Hotel reception will have leaflets of places to visit. I am sure the reps will try and sell you trips.

It is true, you need to be fit to get up and down the hills, however the taxis are cheap, and if you are at the top of the hill, the views really do make it worthwhile. :)

Just read through the discussion boards there is a lot of good general advice that may help, I just cant wait to go.

My auntie stays at these apartments every year and books through a travel agent but when she stayed last October they told her that it wouldn't be available this year through any tour operators.

She has asked me to look on the internet regarding direct bookings with the hotel but the only info I can find is just general, nothing to do with booking or site that I haven't heard of so wouldn't really trust them.

Can anyone give some more info on this accommodation and how it can be booked?

Thanks

We have stayed at the Puerto Azul and booked with Direct Holidays. They no longer offer these apartments in their brochures. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that Airtours/My Travel have 99% exclusive rights to this place. Perhaps you can only travel with them, or book the accommodation direct with the hotel. Dont quote me on this!! But think it might be the case. I had a look at the instant holidays web page and it was Airtours who were the tour operator for his place. At least it is still bookable!

Hi just went on direct holidays web site and these apartments are still available through them.

Hi Ang, yes you are right, the first brochure they sent us this year didnt have them in it, but on getting the 2nd edition they are back - but only self catering now. We went twice and it was half board before. They advertise the SC as prices based on 4 sharing, as there are only 2 of us, I really grudge paying the extra supplements. This is why we always chose to go there half board - price was per person and included our evening meals. Apologies if I mislead anyone. Sally

hi all
direct holidays/mytravel/airtours are all the same group (mytravel) you can still get the Puerto azul from any off them. sometimes its in one or the other, and again look at all their sites as the price difference can be huge for the same place/time/airport, yes instantholidays do this hotel, sometimes they are cheaper than the main group :D :D
