My wife and I are planning on spending a week in November and are trying to decide which resort. I absolutely hate being hassled into restaurants so would appreciate some advice regarding Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca and PDC. We may also plump for Matagorda.
Cheers,
Jim
There are a lot of PRs in CT on the road down to Las Chucharas beach from Pueblo Marinero.
I've never seen PRs at restaurants in PDC or PB, although there are quite a few obnoxious ones at Centro Atlantico bars in PDC.

the pr's in costa are outside of their own restaurants and are not allowed to step outside that area so if you say a polite no thanks,or even ignore them they will not hassle you or follow you!! unlike the ones on the main strip in puerto! tell them you live here it will stop them!
A lot of the restaurants in PDC have their own staff acting as PR's out on the street now, marysol. Like you say, a polite "no thank you" or, "I've already eaten" is enough.
Or , "We are all inclusive" 
Thanks everyone. The reason for the request is we were in Gran Canaria, Purto Rico last year and the PR's were horrendous. From the postings can I take it Playa Blanca seems to be the least bad for hassle?

IMO yes, Playa Blanca is the quietest of the 3 main resorts.
I have read this is quite common in Gran Canaria, these people drive me nuts and have put me off making a visit.

Stayed in Costa Teguise a couple years ago and I can't remember being hassled at all! It must have been very rare because I always usually remember being pressured into eating. It was a very relaxing holiday here and I would highly reccommend it 
When we were in PDC we got approached 13 times in one morning 
when my husband told one of the PR'S this he said "chill out your on holiday" this did not please hubby one bit 
PR's really put me off going abroad again

Must admit that if we are walking along the strip in P.D.C. we usually cross the road and walk next to the beach. Really it depends on the time of day. 13 in a morning is very odd.
Strange how the good bars and restaurants are usually busy without the help of P.R's

i just cary a local spanish news paper about if it gets really intensive, just make sure the pr's can see it spanish and they don't even look at you
what's a PR please?
Public Representative.
Someone who tries to persuade you to go into a bar or restaurant. They vary from people standing outside restaurants showing menus, describing specials etc to mouthy yobs who literally try to drag you into their shitty little bar. The former are usually polite and will take a "no thank you". The latter are the scum of the earth.

thanks.
We were in Costa Teguise in April and we were self catering but we got no hassle at all from PR's and we were looking at restaurant menus to see where to eat at night.
we're going back to Costa Teguise in September, first time in 5 years - we were never bothered when we were there in '96. Really looking forward to it now.
