Rocas Rojas

Très belle chambre avec un lit, avec le lit double dans le salon pour une troisième personne. Salle de séjour très spacieuse, lit de camp dérangeait pas du tout. Nous sommes arrivés tard dans la soirée, la réception était fermée mais nous n'avons pas eu à attendre longtemps pour avoir quelqu'un pour nous accueillir. Un peu déçue que la troisième lit, les draps et les serviettes de toilette étaient absents, car ils ne nous avaient troubles ont réservé, mais ça a été réglé sans trop de retard. Service de nettoyage est très agréable, ils ne savent pas quoi faire pour nous rendre service. La piscine, qui était belle, c'était à nous tous seuls à plusieurs reprises. Le seul problème c'est que l'air conditionné. dans la chambre il faisait près d'intérêt : on ne pouvait pas dormir dans la chaleur unseasonal. On a été obligés de louer un ventilateur pour le salon et le 3ème personne n'avait réussi à dormir. Accès wifi seulement à la réception, mais ils m'indiquer qu'ils ont l'intention d'installer le wi-fi dans l'appartement. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un très bon rapport qualité/prix et détails a été réglé très rapidement (plaques électriques cassés dans la cuisine). Air conditionné, aurait besoin d'être refaite.

Nous avions fait nos réservations dernière minute j'étais inquiet à propos de la faible notation mais il n'y avait vraiment pas de quoi. L'appartement est moderne et très propre. (La femme de chambre venait tous les jours et c'était très sympa. Il n'y avait pas la climatisation mais ce n'est pas un problème à la fin du mois d'octobre. Les piscines étaient très belles, le jardin bien entretenues et dessinées. Un hôtel calme, ce qui n'est pas un problème si vous voulez échapper à la foule. Notre bungalow n'était en haut mais cet hôtel n'est pas un problème si vous êtes une personne raisonnablement en forme. Il y a plein d'endroits où se restaurer à proximité et on peut aller à pied à Playa del Ingles tout le chemin le long de la côte (environ 45 minutes). Le service de bus est très facile de prendre et de l'arrêt de bus juste à côté de l'hôtel, on peut aller facilement à l'autre. Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux au soleil en hiver. Le seul point négatif pour nos garçons (15 et 13 ans ) avait le wifi mais il a survécu.

The houses are good but the big thing is te park. the houses are normal bungalows some are better and some are cheaper and some are more costy. But the park includes Three pools and the feeling of a botanical gardenwith nice cats wich are not disturbing just cute. it is great.

These apartments are a little basic but they make up for that by being clean and very spacious. They are set in absolutely fabulous gardens with beautiful views of the ocean. The pool area is clean with plenty of sunbeds available for all. A little yellow bus took us to our apartments and a put up bed was provided for us so our little one could come in with us. The balcony is brilliant, plenty of space and very sunny. We didnt see maid service at all during our stay which wasn't a bad thing because we were going out in the morning and by the time we got back the rooms would be spotlessly clean with fresh towels and a fresh smelling, cool apartment. The apartments have bars on the windows and balcony which means you can leave the windows and doors open knowing your valuables and more importantly your small children will be completely safe. There is a fair walk to the beach and surrounding areas but our five year old didnt use a buggy and she didnt complain. A quick taxi to Playa del ingles will provide you with a livelier holiday if that is what you are after but San Augustin is fabulous if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. Our teenage girls thouroughly enjoyed but we love spending time as a family and they dont need the constant activities that some hotels provide. So if your children need kiddies clubs then they might find this place a little boring. Saying that there are plenty of things to do a short ride away from San Augustin. We went camel riding and our kids thought that was great. Jet skiing, markets, boat trips and a water park should provide you with enough to keep the little guys happy. We enjoyed this holiday so much we have booked to go again in 2008. Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

We stayed here for a fortnight and enjoyed a really relaxing break in the sun. The bungalows are spread out across a hillside overlooking San Agustin and with some views out to sea. There is a main road to cross between the complex and resort but this was never busy and wasn't an issue. I think the houses are all privately owned and then rented out through the complex or tour operators. This means that each apartment may be furnished differently. We had a lovely location not too far up the hill. When you arrive reception will arrange for transport for you and your luggage to as near as they can get you to your apartment. Apartments are cleaned 6 days out of 7 and our one was simply furnished and had everything we needed for our holiday. We tended to eat out but the kitchen came well equipped and we could have catered at home. The complex is large but as the houses are only 1 and 2 storey there are great views across the lovely gardens to the resort and sea. There are 3 large heated pools in various locations set in landscaped gardens with palm trees and beautiful flowers. Near reception there is a small supermarket and restaurant. Elsewhere San Agustin is mainly residential. There are a few restaurants and a great beach. There is also a small shopping complex about 15-20 minutes walk from Rocas. These shopping complexes are common on Gran Canaria and here you find lots of bars, restaurants and some shops. We found a couple of great places to eat there even if the surroundings are a bit like eating in a shopping mall. There is also a lovely promenade walk along the seafront all the way to the nearby resort of Playa del Ingles (much louder and livelier if you prefer that sort of place). We had a great time in San Agustin and were really pleased with our choice of Rocas Rojas. It was great value for money. Although there is not a lot to do in the evening taxis are cheap (about 3-4 euros to the much bigger resort of Playa) and we liked the peaceful atmosphere in San Agustin. Local buses run all over the island from near reception. We hired a car for 4 days and toured the island. It really is like a continent in miniature and well worth touring. All in all we had a great time here. The weather was perfect and the apartment was a great base for either lazy days at the pool or beach or for exploring further afield. Would recommend it.
