El Black Rock Hotel It is a very good choice if you want to get away from the tourist areas during your stay in Gran Canaria. Basically because it is located in an idyllic environment within the town of Agaete. That is, in the north of the island. It is one of the most beautiful and beloved coastal towns of the Gran Canarian people. And, without a doubt, a mandatory stop on your visit to the island. Below we are going to tell you a little more about one of our Preferred 4-star hotels in Gran Canaria.
Hotel Occidental Roca Negra
As we mentioned, this hotel is located in Agaete a few steps from the town and Puerto de Las Nieves. Exactly It is located on the hill that overlooks the Las Salinas natural pools. and therefore, It has spectacular views of the sea. The hotel belonged to the Canarian chain Be Cordial Hotels & Resorts, and is now managed by Barceló.
Amenities
In the Black Rock You can stay with breakfast or half board (with dinner). Both meals are buffet style and have a wide variety.
The rooms are brand new, spacious and mostly with sea views., since practically the entire hotel is oriented like this. Something we really like about this hotel is its silence and soundproofing. Unlike others where you can hear everything in the hallways, balconies and adjacent rooms. Therefore, a perfect destination if you have come to Gran Canaria to rest or are looking for a weekend getaway to unwind.
We also liked the distinction that the hotel has for cyclists as “cycling friendly”. It is good to keep this in mind if you are looking for accommodation in Gran Canaria to practice this sport. You already know that in our cycling section we have several options for bike routes around Gran Canaria, some of them in the area.
RockTop Skybar Restaurant
Without a doubt, the a la carte restaurant RockTop Skybar is a mandatory stop on your stay or visit to Agaete. It has unique views of the sea, Agaete and the spectacular mountains that surround it.. For us it has been a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, their menu includes products from the islands, from Gran Canaria and, specifically, from Agaete. A delight of a place. We leave you with one of the dishes that you can enjoy on its spectacular terrace. Nevertheless, Since the hotel is managed by the Barceló chain, we do not know what offer they have and if the name of the restaurant has changed.
Spa Hotel Roca Negra
Within its facilities, we highlight its Spa Here you can enjoy a circuit or a treatment and thus put the icing on the cake. The price of the stay does not include any of these services and we always recommend booking in advance. It is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day.
Without a doubt we wanted to include this hotel among the recommended places to stay in Gran Canaria. An ideal place to get to know the essence of Gran Canaria, rest, eat delicious food and disconnect from the routine.. As soon as we can we return!
