Hotel San Roque

We Garachio a charming and historical town and spent a lot of time wandering around and enjoyed the range of cuisine available.

The 18th-century house in the middle of the pretty old town of Garachico is lovely, and has been beautifully restored, with two traditional patios, one for relaxing and the other containing the pool and restaurant. There's a sense of style and great attention to detail everywhere, from the very comfortable seating and fittings in our room to the little buzzers dotted around so you can summon a waiter any time you need a drink! What really made our stay, though, was the charm and great friendliness of everyone at the San Roque, who really did make us feel ultra-welcome. It's a cliche but nothing was too much trouble, and all delivered with a smile. The restaurant was great too, with some very fine Canary Island wines, and outside the door it's only a short walk to Garachico's plaza or its (not to be missed) natural rock swimming pools.

Wonderful staff, beautifully designed and cared for hotel. Breakfast around the pool. Fantastic location in Garachico. Garachico is an interesting place with different options for swimming and eating. We used local buses for some sightseeing - car wasn't necessary.

The hotel is a very old converted mansion house in the typical Catalonian style. Everywhere you look there are tasteful furnishings and modern art melded together with original features, lots of beautiful wood. The hotel was very clean, the pool was just the right size for a dip, the sun loungers on the pool terrace were very comfortable. The sun terrace on the roof was a very useful addition, with more loungers, tables and chairs and a shower. Our room was clean and comfortable, had everything we needed and was nice and quiet (even though we were on the ground floor on the inner courtyard). The staff couldn’t do enough for us, the service was excellent. There was a tasty menu of light snacks and drinks available during the day and the food served from the evening menu in the restaurant was tasty, interesting and of a high standard, they had a good wine list too. Breakfast was in true continental style and the same everyday, but the freshly baked cake changed everyday and there were choices of cheese and meats, plus crostini some days, Spanish omelette others. You can also order eggs and bacon if you want a hot breakfast. The coffee was excellent and there was a machine dispensing delicious, freshly squeezed orange juice on tap. Reception had a huge array of dvds to choose from if you wanted to finish your evening a bit earlier and relax in your room. The comfortable lounge has games and books available too. The inner courtyard has lovely modern seating, where you can sit and read, play games or have a drink. The hotel never felt busy or noisy, it was full whilst we were staying. The main square and access to all the local restaurants and the sea front was all just a few minutes walk away. Our stay was relaxing, peaceful and very enjoyable. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful hotel with great, professional staff. Lovely heated pool and a solarium on the roof. Restaurant also very good. There are buttons all through the hotel where you can call staff to get a drink or a snack.
