I'm newto the whole Playa expernce, so don't laugh

but is GPR the same as Gran Porto Real? My family and I are panning on going in August and I am seriously considering Gran Porto Real because of the great special they are running. I can't decide between it and the Barcelo Maya Palace. I have a friend who travels to Playa ALL the time with his wife-he's the one person who turned me onto this forum-Thanks, Mikey!- and I'm so glad he did. So much info!
