Hotel San Roque

We have just had our second stay at San Roque and it won’t be our last I’ve seen a few reviews that are in my opinion negative The hotel make it clear on their web site that this is a unique and quite place to re charge and relax Our room 108 was on the first floor overlooking the street ,it was a blend of comfort and practicality. There are lots of areas to relax in the hotel with the pool area, roof terrace and first floor wonderful settee’s . You can’t fail to fall in love with the ambience and charm The art is wonderful in each little nook you discover another bit of art We were lucky to be there for New Year’s eve and OMG it was wonderful . The owner and his team ensured a night to remember . Thank you But what makes this hotel special is the utter care and attention you receive in all aspects of your stay

Wonderful classic old hotel in the centre of town. Free parking is nearby with a drop-off outside hotel in one way cobbled street. Marvellous wooden interiors with multiple art deco, rennie mackintosh, features, and furniture. Big bedroom with all mod cons. Jacuzzi bath in bedroom. Small bathroom with walk-in shower. The dining area is situated around the small pool, which we didn't feel was ideal. Didn't really want to swim in front of people dining. The food was excellent, as were the staff. Sun loungers on the rooftop. There is one small service lift apparently not available to guests.

We went here for dinner for my wife’s birthday. Absolutely fantastic. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent, really top-notch cooking. We are vegetarian, and there was a separate vegetarian menu with three or four choices for each course. The setting was great too, around a pool. A big thank you to everyone!

We just stayed for a week in a junior suite to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday and were really pleased with our choice. Our room was the one above the breakfast area looking straight onto pool below. Firstly staff were fantastic they arranged for us to have a special desert selection as part of the meal we booked for our first day there. The standard of food in hotel it top rate we ended up eating there twice it was so good. Reception staff were very helpful with everything we needed. Bar/ wait staff were great at bringing us whatever we ordered to any space in the hotel we wanted to sit including our room. Room was huge even had diffuser on hairdryer! Only negatives it was slightly dark I think due to low energy bulbs and WiFi was a bit slow. It was great to have both a roof terrace and pool area to sit out by roof had better views externally and was a bit warmer but pool was private and secluded and temp in pool was great I went in quite a few times. The location of hotel was very central I think everything was max 5 min walk away. I would totally recommend this hotel to people who like hotels on the smaller side and the restoration of the building is a great job there are so many areas to sit and enjoy it. I would defo ho back.

San Roque deserves its 5-star rating! Set in a traditional small Canarian town, it’s a part of the local history and tradition. The beautiful building is impeccably kept, the rooms, pool area, patio, terrace, fabulous restaurant, etc. all provide a peaceful ambience for its guests. But the best part is the attention and services of its staff. Dominic, Lucy, Maria and Manolo were stand-outs! Friendly and helpful, there was always someone on hand to assist, be it for ordering a drink, carrying luggage, giving travel advice. We were even provided a coffee and picnic breakfast for our 4:30 am check-out! San Roque was a fantastic experience and the best part of our holiday in Tenerife!

I have just returned from a week at this Hotel and was lucky enough to stay in the clocktower suite. Here is my unbiased review. The location is stunning - Garrachico is the old capital and is full of culture as well as seriously top class eateries. You will be spoilt for choice for eating out. The Hotel is very central to the town square and local shops, bars and restaurants. While I was there a lot of the shops and bars were closed as it was technically out of season but there were still plenty that were open. The Hotel itself is very quiet and we were the only English couple there. Apart from the odd "good morning" at breakfast you will barely see your fellow guests so its not a place for socialising. It is incredibly quiet and there is no bar so no "hub" to meet your fellow guests in the evening to chat. The eating area is by the pool with only a few tables and so there is no restaurant as such. We had dinner there on our first evening and the meal was perfect but the Hotel lacks ambiance and atmosphere. The reception areas, although beautiful are mainly empty for most of the time. Our room was spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water etc and the bed was super comfortable with soft, white bed linen. There are no lifts here and so there are a lot of stairs and our room in the clock tower had a spiral staircase that would not be easy for anyone with mobility issues. I felt that it was a bit penny pinching for a Hotel of this calibre and cost to charge for water however you can buy water much cheaper at the local supermarket. We wanted a tour of a local winery and the reception staff went out of their way to find a perfect trip for us that was really enjoyable so they are there to help and are friendly and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a small sunbathing area however the swimming pool is very small, more like a plunge pool and not big enough to do any serious swimming. Its supposed to be heated but for me it was very cold so I only dipped myself in once. If you are vegetarian you will struggle and vegans will probably starve!!! Nothing is labelled and so its very difficult. As a vegetarian I found there was limited choice both at the Hotel and surrounding eateries and vegans will find it a struggle.
