Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting overlooking the ocean. We stayed for 7 days. Our room was very nice and spacious. We had an ocean view from our balcony. Agaete is a gorgeous fishing village. You can take a trip to Tenerife from the island. A beautiful village just down the road from the hotel. You can also get a bus to Las Palmas from the town for about 4 euros each. The hotel is very clean. Our room was cleaned every day by the very friendly staff. Thank you very much. Breakfast and lunch very good. Bit disappointed about dinner though. Would have preferred cooked to order fresh meats and fish without any sauces added. Was difficult to make a proper meal out of the buffet each day. If this could be looked into we would definitely come bank and stay.
Bel hôtel. Nous avons disposé d'une grande chambre aux meubles années 70-80. Le petit déjeûner est copieux, continental, et goûteux (excellentes petites boules de brioche recouvertes de chocolat, mini palmiers croustillants et caramélisés). Le parking en sous-sol est un plus alors que comme partout sur l'île il est difficile de trouver à garer une voiture.
Algaldar Hotel is stylish and in a perfect location within this really lovely authentically Spanish town. However, the lack of information/communication from Agaldar Emblematico Hotel for those arriving by car, especially for those guests who are not Spanish speakers caused us enormous stress and ultimately cost us a €100 parking fine. Cars cannot pull up to the hotel as there's a no-entry barrier to the square where the hotel is located next to the church. Guests are not told this. It's therefore very difficult to unload luggage and get it to the hotel. In order to unload our luggage we reversed in to a nearby disabled parking bay and left it for less than 5 minutes. When we returned there was a ticket fine for €200, which reduces by 50% if you pay immediately. This was very upsetting and seriously spoiled our arrival. Reception told us ”yes, they target hire cars”. We pointed out we'd contacted the hotel about parking and there had been absolutely no mention of arrival, how challenging it is or how there's a 30 minute waiting/parking bay we could have used. We were told the manager would speak with the police ”to see what they could do” and hours later surprise, surprise ”there was nothing they could do”. We were then directed to a local ATM to pay the fine. We did this but could not understand how to pay the fine this way. We again returned to reception and asked for directions to the local police station. We then spent an hour of our only night in Galdar finding the station and paying the fine. The police ironically were apologetic. Hotel management never once contacted us directly to either see how we were or offer any advice. When we asked a member of staff is this happens on a regular basis they were silent and their face revealed that it does indeed happen time and time again. The town parking policy is obviously not the responsibility of Hotel Algaldar, but guest hotel arrivals are . A simple email when making a reservation or information on the Algaldar website would help guests avoid unnecessary and very expensive fines. Another tip for would-be guests is when enquiring about parking you'll be directed to a nearby paid car park but guests can park for free on blue zone streets where there are no lines or white lines.

This hotel has great views and there are quite a few walking trails straight out of the hotel. We walked to Artenara and back, the walk had great views passing by some caves and Artenara was very interesting as well. We also walked down to the village of Tejeda and took the bus back up. We stayed in room 213 which was an the very end of the corridor so nice and quite. The room was large and comfortable with a nice balcony. We found the service superb, all the staff were so helpful. We managed to get a slot in the spa for 1.5 hours which was nice and relaxing, we also managed to get a facial and a massage which we enjoyed. I would say the food is good but nothing spectacular, the house wines are very nice. Whilst we were there, there were some fire risk warnings that closed the walking paths which was not great for us but I understand safety comes first. We found a good website which allows you to check if fire risk warnings are in place ”Grancanariamosaico” this was really helpful to see when the paths were open again as they don't always remove the tape across the paths that quickly. There are a few stalls just down from the hotel that sell bottled water, food & gifts and a restaurant which we didn't try but apart from that the hotel is pretty much on its own. We spent 4 days here which was just enough.
