The setting is very romantic and beautiful. Set overlooking the sea in a very rural part of Gran Canaria with excusite vistas. Our sea view room was large, and the beds were super comfortable. There was also a lovely balcony. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. This hotel appears to generally cater for all-inclusive, but we just did B&B. There is a beautiful restaurant at the puerto called Ragu which has outstanding Italian food and I would highly recommend. We will definitely return to this hotel and Agaete.
In the picturesque town of Agaete, this hotel has a subtle nautical theme and a fantastic spa to enjoy. Head down to the nearby beach for breath-taking scenery and a swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

Delicious and varied breakfast. The location is convenient (truth to be said the whole place is a very tiny village). Overall clean.
Seaside Villa - Agaete features a patio and is located in Agaete, within just 300 metres of Agaete Piscina Natural and 400 metres of Las Nieves Beach.

The balcony is very nice. As said in other comments, there are people talking at night but they are friendly and talk very quietly, it didn't bother me at all.
Set in Agaete, Vilna House with private pool, jacuzzi and garden -Optional pool and jacuzzi heating offers a barbecue. Playa del Ingles is 38 km from the property.

The apartment is well equipped and cozy: there’s everything that you need: there’s a washing machine and washing powder if you need to wash your clothes. Three bedrooms allow for good privacy, especially if you are traveling with teenagers. The apartment is clean, the bedding’s of good quality. The hostess is very kind and attentive: we had indicated one arrival time, but we were about three hours late. However, she welcomed us kindly, even though it was already late. There was fruits, wine and water left for us ,this was really nice, since the shops were already closed since we had arrived late. The apartment is in a convenient location, you can reach the beach and the grocery stores quickly by car or by foot.
Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant.

Agaete town is quiet and sleepy, but lovely. Excellent coffee at the bakery. the Huertas de las Flores is a gorgeous and lush oasis of amazing trees and flowers.
the municipal library is a wonderful community space.
Excellent location and starting point for some really good hikes. Local public transport is really good. We took the local bus to Los Berrazales coffee place (finca la Laja), then walked back along the valley floor ('el valle' or 'el barranco').
Perfect place for a quiet holiday - lots of other visitors, but it is not a 'big resort' kind of place, just people who come for hiking and very good fresh fish!

Agaete has a magical spirit, which is hard to describe rationally. In the compact and pretty town center is a wide range of cafés, bars and restaurants. Narrow streets elevate the whole slope up to the topmost view. Often there is some music festival in the town. Surrounding mountain are always visible, being a background for small beautiful places that are worth to seek for. Neighbouring port town offers beaches, natural piscinas and more bars and cafés. Supermarket is located practically halfway between, together with a closed bath (also suitable for children) and gorgeous Hondo café, which would be a mistake not to visit. Agaete is easy to reach by car using highway, which is currently being extended further south. However, bus services are poor in speed due to detouring to many villages along the highway and often delayed, and most of all too infrequent except for the line to Las Palmas.

No hot water when arrived.
No hot water when arrived. Dodgy tap in a bathroom meant no hot water all the stay. Ants in a bathroom all ten days. Damaged bathroom door. No toaster. No "free toiletries or toaster" both advertised.
Sparse kitchen utilities. No pegs for hanging out washing. Two outside lights missing.
Contacted both booking.com, Holidu and the useless Victor Ramos. E mails over nearly all ten days, and the responses to all queries raised. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Victor exists to stall clients, do nothing and prevent money being spent. He blames the owners if he cannot do anything (he know exactly what he is doing ...........) Basically rubbish

We weren't that impressed about Agaete as there were only few shops and the local supermarkets had a rather modest choice of food. Agaete scores well in terms of atmosphere (old buildings, narrow roads, picturesque port) but you can't compare it with the much more lively, bustling Galdar. We liked the port area and the rock pools but didn't find them outstanding in any way. Agaete is certainly worth visiting but we felt it tends to get a bit overrated. For us Agaete was a great base for exploring the North and West of Gran Canaria but a bit less of a great destination on its own.

A small town with a number of small shops, two banks and a couple of places to eat out or take a coffee. There is no supermarket. There is a town square with a pretty church, but this is usually closed. The nearby Maipes archaeological park is well worth a visit. The botanical gardens are tiny but for €1, again worth a visit. From Agaete you can walk to Puerto de las Nieves in about 20 minutes (Spar supermarket en route) where you can enjoy the beaches, the natural swimming pools and watch the ferry going to a from Tenerife.

NIce little town.
NIce little town. Enjoyed our visit to Maipes Parque Arqueologic, well signed and informative. Enjoyed hiking in the Agaete Valley and a good visit to the Coffee Finca where they had coffee tasting an a tour of their small plantation. Nice port with ferries over to Santa Cruz in Tenerife.
La Jacaranda is a cute apartment ideal for staying between hikes or trips, equipped with basic but great taste.
The hosts were helpful - and also superkind to provide a huge bottle of mineral water - this was made the stay easier - not tipical in this region.
Agaete Valley is place that is worth to visit, you can meet all the elements from a sunny ocean playa to windy giant hills.
Try to visit Finca los Catanos - a coffee plantation - remarkable for a lifetime :) as like the valley's specific flora & fauna.
We loved the location, suite was very clean & tidy, Agaete is a lovely town nice restaurants, the suite is just short safe lit path from the salt baths and further onto port restaurants, it has a lovely old town area and some good nearby cultural sites to visit, some nice hiking routes nearby also.
We had some issues but were in communication with the booking.com rep
Lovely location in the hills above Agaete. Family owned. Walking track up into the hills directly behind the house. Lots of lovely fruit from their small holding - able to wander through the trees and pick what we liked as well as been given some on arrival and again during our stay. Very welcoming hosts - friendly and quick to respond to any queries/requests
The house had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the large patio where we had more than one barbecue and chatted for hours over good wine.
The location is excellent, Agaete is a very picturesque village with plenty of space to walk, see the cliffs, go to the beach or swim in one of the natural pools.
I really liked this apartment, spotless clean, excellent parking (otherwise major issue in Agaete) and the other tenants in the house seem to be retirees from the peninsula so it was really nice and quiet at night. Northern Gran Canaria is overlooked by many visitors which is a shame
We loved Agaete and this was a great stay, we felt at home.
The place was clean, kitchen had all the amenities we needed for cooking, the balcony was a great addition and communication with Paolo was smooth and friendly.
Would definitely recommend staying here!
It was a very good stay. The apartment is not big but a cozy one. The bed is comfortable, I like the quality cotton sheets. The outdoor space is very big, an awesome terrace. Agaete is a lively historical town, not to be missed. Owners are very pleasant
Location was magnificent great for before,during and after trekking lovely feeling of home. Agaete is a special place with even more of a special ambience locals are very friendly and helpful.
Location superb. There's direct access to the natural pool from the hotel, only 5 min walk. Then 10 min walk along the seafront to the village. Very convenient.
The host was so kind and helpful!
Location is perfect to go around Agaete.
Apartment is very nice, tidy and spacios.
The wiew from livingroom is wonderful!
