Hotel Roca Negra - Agaete

Really nice hotel in the picturesque area of Agaete. Brilliant breakfast included in the price, everything else is very expensive at the hotel, f.ex. the spa, massage, dinner etc.

Easily accessible from the airport along a series of motorways. A pleasant location facing the sea, good amenities and helpful and friendly staff. It could feel a little isolated after a few days, depending on why this location was selected in the first place.

Hard to find but worth it as long as you don't mind being away from it all! But the accommodation and pool area is great and a short but steep walk brings you to the harbour area which has a few good restaurants and bars. The hotel itself has a good quality and not too expensive restaurant which is handy if you want to stay put. All in all well worth […] a visit (if only for the scenery) although you probably would not want to spend your fortnights holiday here! Read more

The hotel was as nice as I read in the reviews. Indeed, the mattresses were hard as I read earlier, but for the rest it was bliss. Quiet, no music from loudspeakers at the swimming pool.

Overall our 7 days at the hotel were relaxing. However, while the hotel facilities and building were comfortable and well maintained, the front office staff did not provide any information or advice about the local area. At the least a local map displayed in reception would have been helpful. An Italian restaurant currently advertised on the hotel website […] was no longer open and staff provided no explanation or apology. While the breakfast provision was good, our only dinner was a poor quality in comparison to the excellent restaurants in Purto de las Nieves. Location fine for a relaxing break for adults but probably not suitable for families. No local night-life. Read more

On the plus side Northern part of Gran Canaria is beautiful and the valley just a few minutes drive from the hotel is absolutely beautiful and sheltered!! Room was a great size with a balcony overlooking the pool area - although it was too windy to use it most of the time (obviously not the fault of the hotel!) Breakfast was excellent - healthy options, […] There was a nice walk from the hotel along the coast (path not available all the way but only a short area missing) to the town to some fish restaurants Nice seating area around the pool. On the minus side The pool was absolutely freezing which made it unpleasant to use. The use of the spa area was pretty expensive even for guests. The restaurant closes on Monday and Tuesday and all the local restaurants are closed on Monday (in fact off season hardly any were open until the weekend) which means guests are forced to go to Las Palmas. (We founds some great restaurants but would rather not have had the drive there and back and parking is horrendous in the evening.) Supply of toiletries was a bit sporadic. The garage was a bit cramped and short of spaces (although you could park outside on the street.) Read more

Agaete is very quiet in January, but there is the lovely park Tamadaba very close to the hotel and the hotel was amazing. The staff was lovely and ready to help even after we checked out and the architecture of the hotel built on a rock is breath-taking. We were only disappointed with all the rest of the four star hotels we have visited after being […] in Roca Negra. All thumbs up! Read more

Beautiful hotel, ideal for a quiet break. Second time I've stayed, was just as good as the first, lovely setting, nice service, lovely spa with fantastic treatments. Will be back again next year!

Me and my boyfriend came here in November for a week. wow! Brilliant! We arranged a hotel pick up from the airport, thank gosh as its forever away! Great if you drive, but we didn't so had to arrange this. the driver was brilliant. so friendly, even with limited English we still speak about him. from the min we got there the friendliness and presentation […] of the hotel was amazing. staff was so friendly and so helpful through out our stay. the room was the nicest room i have ever stayed in. smart and clean. beds not to comfy but i didn't mind as the hotel was amazing! Dinner wasnt great there so every night we walked 10/ 15 mins to the local village and ate there. just below the hotel on the sea front there is some natural pools made from the ocean and volcano. no sand tho. I had never seen anything like it. these pools are fantastic. the spa there is a little pricey, but nothing more than you would pay back home. lovely and relaxing and great range of treatments. I hate the sun and was so against going over there but i loved it and am already planning our next trip to the same hotel. Brilliant. Everyone should go there. Read more

Awesome place! we loved our nights there and will return when we have time and money for the trip again :) It is a long way from the airport and in a little village where there arent mutch to do, if you like nightlife and so. But if you need a brake from the everyday life and you love buitiful places. You are alone, with your life long love and wish […] quiet, time to talk and romance. This place is awesome. Here you can see something of Gran Canaria there isent beach and party. Read more

This was a stunning hotel. Absolutely loved it, a jewel in the middle of a lump of rock. It was very quiet, which was perfect for us as it was a night away from our 2 girls who are both under 3! Very modern, beautifully decorated, really different to anywhere I've stayed before. The spa was stunning, really calming, had the best massage i've ever had. […] We also did a circuit of the spa which included the jacuzzis, steam rooms, flotation pool, showers, etc. The outdoor pool was deserted, very nice loungers, v comfy. The room was huge, massive & very comfortable bed & the staff were so helpful. I had read that many didn't speak good English, but the receptionist had fantastic English as did one of the ladies in the spa. The restaurant was empty but we went round to the Pizzeria (owned by the hotel) which had a few customers and had great pizza & lovely wine. Breakfast was also great, in fact I can not fault them on anything at all. if you are looking for a quiet night away, this hotel is perfect. Not much around it at the minute, but it is a developing area so it won't take long. We took the bus from Las Palmas to Puerto do las Nieves and a cab (about 4 euros) up to the hotel as we were not sure where it was. Can't recommend it enough, was fantastic, was relaxed within a few minutes of getting there and left feeling like a new woman, shame I had to get back to 2 children really that worked that feeling off pretty quick! Stay here, it's fab! Read more

The hotel was absolutely spotless and the maids were really friendly and helpful. All the staff without exception were very friendly and helpful and offered the kind of service you would expect from a 5 star hotel. The Managing Director and his family were always around the hotel and were friendly and courteous to all the guests. There were a couple […] of fundamental areas which could have been improved: 1. The noise from the rooms. All floors were marble and any noise from any adjacent rooms was heard, even down to someone dropping a light object on the floor. The staff were happy for us to move rooms but we then had an even worse room as far as noise was concerned. We resorted to wearing earplugs when we went to bed which did help. 2. The dining room was very smart with wonderful staff. However the evening dinner always arrived luke warm and very small portions. My suggestion would be to book bed and breakfast which was very good (although once again food was luke warm) and eat at the harbour in the evening - a 10-15 minute walk away or 3 euros in a taxi. We had a wonderful holiday at this hotel over the Christmas period and would not want to discourage people from booking - especially in this mostly undiscovered area with its own charm. The drawbacks of the hotel were more than compensated for by the wonderful management and staff. A holiday to be remembered. Thank You. Read more

Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die nahe gelegene Ortschaft hat sehr gute Möglichkeiten um Abends essen zu gehen. Den Spa Bereich haben wir nicht genutzt aber die Preise waren gut. Das Hotel hat einen sehr sauberen Eindruck gemacht. Einziges Manko das WLAN war nur in der Lobby verfügbar.

Vi blev besvikna över att det fanns så lite att göra på denna ort. Vill man ha lugn och ro så finns det bättre platser att besöka. Vi trodde att hotellet skulle hålla en högre klass. Dålig restaurang och dålig frukost.

Nice hotel, wonderful views, big rooms, friendly personnel, good food, however we were there in February and the weather was quite cold, ca 18C and windy. The pool was not warmed up so the water was only 18C. Hard beds. There is not that much to do in the near surroundings, only a small village close by with a few small restaurants.

Bodde på hotellet i to dager. Ca 30 min biltur til Las Palmas. Passer best for folk som vil være alene. Værhardt og vakkert. Veldig stille område. Restauranten på hotellet er kjedelig, men det ligger noen flotte fiskerestauranter ca 15 min. gange fra hotellet. Følg sti fra hotellet til Puerto Nieves.

Vi bodde på hotellet i två veckor i december 2012. Rummet var stort och härligt, det enda klagomålet skulle vara att sängen var ganska hård. Balkongen var stor och bra, med fin utsikt. Vi bodde på plan 2. Vi hade bokat det här hotellet för att få ha en lugn semester, då detta helt klart inte är något hotell för en barnfamilj. Frukosten var bra, Poolbaren […] var bra med god mat. Däremot gick vi en kväll på hotellets restaurang och åtminstone den kvällen var maten direkt dålig så dit gick vi inte igen. Man går dock på tio minuter till hamnen där det finns flera trevliga restauranger. Kan varmt rekommendera Las Nasas. Vi hade en enorm tur med vädret också, 23-24 grader och sol hela tiden. Vi simmade i poolen varje dag vi låg vid poolen. Poolen är dock inte uppvärmd vilket avskräckte många andra. Ska man bo på detta hotellet bör man ha tillgång till bil, vilket ändå rekommenderas eftersom det är otroligt vackert när man tar sig upp bland bergen. Det fanns gratis parkering i källaren under hotellet. Är hotellet fullt och alla har bil kommer källaren troligen inte att räcka, men vi hade inte några problem att få parkering någon gång under vår vistelse. Det finns gratis wifi på rummet, däremot är mobiltäckningen i princip noll. Åtminstone på plan 2. VI fick gå upp i lobbyn de gånger vi ville ringa hem. Wifit är tillräckligt starkt för att surfa, men inte för att använda tex Skype. Read more

Måske er jeg fantasiforladt, men jeg havde alt hvad jeg ønskede mig på Roca Negra - især til prisen. Man kan få lov at være sig selv, i ro og fred, eller man kan være aktiv, eller bruge hotellet som udgangspunkt for køreture til hele øen. Uanset hvad er man langt fra chartergæster og også langt fra storbytravlhed. Men der er gratis WiFi over alt på […] hotellet! Værelset vi boede på var nydeligt og moderne og virkede rent og pænt. Der var rart at være. Tror alle værelser har altan og hovedparten endda med fantastisk udsigt over Atlanterhavet og Teide i klart vejr. Fin pool inkl. miljøet omkring. Hotellets restaurant havde en varieret morgenbuffet og serverede desuden en udmærket men småkedelig aftenmenu til en fair pris. De fleste aftener tog vi dog til Puerto de las Nieves (fin 20 minutters gåtur langs havet), hvor der er flere restauranter, eller til andre byer for at spise aftensmad. Øen er jo temmelig lille, og det tog os kun 45 minutter at køre hjem en aften fra Puerto Rico på sydkøsten. Hotellets parkeringskælder var helt fin og man kunne selv åbne hele døgnet uden at skulle have fat i reception eller portier. Det er næsten nødvendigt at have egen bil da hotellet ligger ret afsides, jeg ved ikke hvordan man ellers skulle komme dertil. Rigtig god fornøjelse på Roca! Read more

The hotel was nice and clean and the the breakfast was wonderful. We visited Agaete in early December 2012 and it was really quiet although the hotel did get more full towards the weekend.

Hotellet ligger en liten trevlig promenad från en strandpromenad där badmöjligheternna är speciella - Man badar i bassänger urgröpta i de låga strandklipporna. När vi var här i början på novemeber var det fortfarande badbart för normala svenskar dvs cirka 20-21C. Hotellet då det ligger i ett område utan andra attraktioner eller affärer. Resturangen […] på andra sidan gatan är Hotellets. Där serveras frukost som är bra men som har dåligt kaffe och där juoicen snarare är saft än juice vilket jag som är ovan semesterresnär ändå tror är standard på sydliga badorter. Vi provade också middagar på restaurangen - Vilket är intressant 20€ för tvårättersmiddag med fri förrättsbuffe och efterrättsbuffe´. Menyerna var lite överraskande ibland. Rätterna var väl presenterade även om jag inte gillade alla rätter tycker jag man kan äta där - Synd bara att det är svårt att få veta vad som serveras när man skall reservera plats - Nu på hösten är det inget probelm det finns plats i lågsäsongen. Rummet vi bodde på hade välfungerande AC tillfredssatällande tyst. Det fanns inga golvmattor. Sängarna var smala cirka 80 cm och hade madrass av minnesskum. Trådlöst internet var lite svagt men fungerade hela tiden. Poolen är stor och skall jag anmärka ej uppvärm. Read more

Lo peor del hotel, con diferencia, fue la cena por dos motivos. En primer lugar, se tardaba alrededor de 1 hora y cuarto en cenar porque entre que te atendían, se equivocaban de platos y te traían lo que habías pedido, transcurría ese tiempo. La causa de tal situación no era la cantidad de usuarios o huéspedes sino la mala organización. En segundo lugar, […] la cantidad que servían en cada plato( poquísimo), si a esto le sumamos la causa anterior.....UN DESENCANTO TOTAL.

Beau mais un peu poudre aux yeux ! En fait les services "plus" sont payants(petit spa 25 euros la 1/2h, bouteille d'eau en salle de fitness) pas de bar...Chambre mal insonorisée. Dommage, il manque la convivialité et le vrai confort.

Ingen klagepunkter. Har eksempelvis meget flot morgenmadsbuffet helt til kl. 10.30! Hotellet ligger på øens nordvestlige hjørne, hvilket bevirker, at der er relativt koldt om vinteren, hvor vinden (nordøst passaten) blæser kold luft ind fra havet. Vores konklusion er derfor, at stedet er perfekt i de varme måneder maj - oktober, men at man bør bo på […] sydkysten fra november til april. Den smukke nærliggende by er også meget lukket ned om vinteren og virker derfor ret død med få åbne restaurenter. Read more

El hotel esta bien mantenido, muy limpio, y el personal es muy agradable. cogimos una junior suite, y me parece que tiene una buena relacion calidad/precio. el unico pero del hotel para mi es la ubicacion, esta alejado de los puntos principales de la isla, pero tambien puede ser un punto positivo si buscas solo tranquilidad. por desgracia para nosotros, […] era Febrero, y hacia mucho viento/fresquito en el norte de la isla, por lo que terminamos cogiendo el coche casi todos los dias para ir al sur. tienes una horita de coche desde el hotel hasta Maspalomas y 1h20m hasta el puerto de Mogan, las zonas donde mejor dia de playa puedes esperar. La media pension del hotel esta muy bien, el desayuno es variado y la cena esta bien. para la cena cada dia te dan a elegir 2 platos estilo gourmet de entre 5 opciones, y puedes completarlo con un buffet de ensaladas. la mayoria de los dias cenamos alli, por comodidad con nuestro bebe, y puedo decir que cenamos muy rico. respecto a los canales de television, yo recomendaria que para un hotel situado en España, por mucho que tengamos muchos guiris en Canarias, los canales estuvieran ordenados dejando los primeros canales para las cadenas españoles . ya despues poner todos los canales extranjeros que quieran. incluso para un extranjero debe de ser raro dar al canal 1 y no ver un canal español. saludos Read more
