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.

Fantastic hotel & Resort.
We had a supremely easy check in and found our apartment to be spacious and comfortable. We loved our little private balcony with the views of the ocean.
There were plenty of activities offered by the hotel, including a bar and cafe/restaurant on site. The location was perfect with only a short 10-15 minute coastal walk to Playa de Amadores and Playa de Puerto Rico.
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.

Modern, well-sized apartment on the second floor of a multi-apartment building. No dedicated parking but there is a big parking lot outside and we always found a space. Apartment was spotlessly clean when we arrived, kitchen was well-equipped with the necessary tools, internet access worked well. We found the apartment pleasant and convenient, reasonably well equipped and with decent sized rooms (not huge or luxurious but in our opinion good value for the price). Overall we absolutely recommend this place as a great base for exploring the North and West of Gran Canaria. There are great drives and walks in the area, the beaches in Puerto de La Aldea and Sardina del Norte were both enjoyable as was a visit to Galdar with its rich Christmas decoration.
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 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.
Boasting mountain views, Casa Álamo Agaete offers accommodation with terrace, around 1.3 km from Playa Dedo de Dios. With city views, this accommodation features a patio.

Overall a very good place to stay. Everything was clean and the stuff was so friendly and helpful, especially Agustina.
I wanted to stay for 1 night but then decided to stay my remaining 3 days and there was not a single second where I felt uncomfortable.
Also, there is an open free parking area close by, which is pretty handy if you got a rental car.
Would definitely recommend this central hostel and it's staff.

If you want to get a bit more remote and not in the high rise this is your spot. In the old town there's a few places to eat, don't leave it too lateen a Sunday or there's not much open.
The port is fine, plenty of restaurants you'd expect on the quay. Loved the swim pools, discovered them on our second last day & would have used them and the promenade more had I known!
The road south is great fun with epic views, but not for the faint hearted with tiny windy roads and potential rock falls if it's been raining.
Nice spot, nearby coffee plantations a great day trip.

Fish restaurants in the Puerto area are all brilliant.
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.
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.
The house is beautifully decorated with all of the appliances and utensils you require to be able to live as comfortably as you would in your own house. The views are amazing and the terrace is a little piece of heaven in Agaete. The hosts are extremely helpful and super fast at responding to any questions we had before, during and even after our stay. If you are planning on visiting the North West of Gran Canaria, then this is the place to stay. We both loved it!!!!
Excellent facilities and cleanliness. View over the harbour towards the mountains provide beautiful sunsets. Agaete quieter and more authentic than the South Island mass tourist resorts. Good seafood restaurants and good local Spar shops with large supermarkets 5km drive away. Friendly host provided good communication. Stopped for 2 weeks and host arranged for towels, bed linen and villa cleaning after 1st week; which showed good attention to what is important.
An absolutely stunning property. A perfect stopover to end our long distance hike across the island. The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated and the host was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. The location is perfect and in a beautiful part of Agaete. What an incredible surprise to enter this wonderful property that has been finished with incredible detail.
The hotel is beautiful, with stunning views of the ocean, clean and spacious rooms and it’s perfectly situated near natural pools and rocky cliff backdrops. The staff is very friendly, the food was great with plenty of options for all appetites and everything was sparkling clean. I can only say good things about this hotel and I will definitely come back in the future.
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.
It was a very pleasant stay, the location is great, the stuff was very helpful, the room very modern, with a terrace and a room swing...and the view, wonderful. I also had breackfast included with a great variety of food. I think it was the best hotel i stayed at.
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
The house is huge and equipped with everything you need, the location is convenient to visit Agaete and the other areas in the nearby, shops are close to the house, there is a private parking in front of the house
Very polite staff and always willing to help.
Amazing views and location of the hotel.
Big comfortable room with balcony.
Breakfast and Dinner buffet had big variety with really nice food.
It is a very stylish apartment with beautiful fittings and high ceilings. Very convenient location - just near Agaete town square, the local restaurants and the bus stop.
Typical spanish town house. Situated in a living area of Agaete. Nice garden to sit outside for dinner. Perfect to discover the northwest of Gran Canaria.
We've stayed here before and enjoyed it both times. Hotel buffet dinner is good, and there are some lovely restaurants on the harbour a short walk away
