Catering: Variety That Appeals
At ALEGRIA Costa Ballena, eating is part of the enjoyment. The main restaurant El Arpón features a wide and varied buffet, designed for all tastes and ages, with Mediterranean cuisine at its core and fresh options renewed daily.
A real highlight is the live show cooking, where meat and fish are grilled to order. In the evenings, themed dinners add extra flavour to your stay, with international cuisines and a more special atmosphere on Saturdays.
Prefer a slower start? Alongside the early service, a late continental breakfast in the café is usually available. The team is also attentive to food intolerances—just let them know.
All-Inclusive: Holidays Without the Wallet
The All-Inclusive option is one of the hotel’s strongest points and a firm family favourite. It includes breakfast, lunch and dinner at the buffet with drinks, plus snacks between meals such as burgers, hot dogs and fries. Check out all the details.
The open bar offers soft drinks, juices, coffees, domestic beer, house wine, sangria and a selection of local spirits and cocktails. You can enjoy everything at the Pool Bar during the day or at the Ahab Theatre Bar, the hub of evening entertainment.
As a final touch, the smart wristband identifies your All-Inclusive stay and also works as your room key, delivering comfort from morning to night.

Lo mejor es el paque acuatico
The snack bar and the blonde waitress were very unfriendly. We had the all-inclusive package, but at half past one, as the dining room is already open, they close the snack bar and won’t let you eat anything there. We wanted to eat there but they wouldn’t let us because the dining room was open…
There was an unbelievable queue just to order something, and if you don’t get there before half past one, you don’t get any food even after waiting 10 minutes in the queue, because only one person is serving and the place is packed.
El snack bar, la camarera rubia muy antipática, tenemos el todo el incluido pero a la una y media como el comedor está ya abierto cierran el snack, y no te dejan comer allí nada, queríamos comer allí y no nos dejaron por el comedor abierto .....
Una cola increíble para pedir algo y si no llegas antes de la una y media no te dan comida después de esperar 10 min de cola, porque solo atiende una sola persona con todo el paque lleno

Tengo que decir que hemos pasado unos días maravillosos mi familia y yo. El personal de allí es excepcional, desde el minuto 1 que llegamos al hotel, nos sentimos como en casa.Cocineros, jefes de cocina, en especial Jesús, que se portó de 10 con mi hija alérgica al huevo, también tengo que agradecer a Jeni su atención ( camarera) estuvo muy pendiente de que a mí hija no le faltara de nada.
Carmen, (en prácticas para Directora) estoy segura que serás una muy buena directora, tienes nucho carisma, educación y simpatía, siempre tan
amable y atenta.
En general las instalaciones del hotel están bien.
Laa comida variada y muy bien cocinada.
The area that needs improvement is the cleaning of the rooms. The floor wasn't very clean or shiny, and the corners of the bathroom were blackened.
El aspecto a mejorar sería la limpieza de las habitaciones, el suelo con poca limpieza ni brillo, esquinas del baño renegridas

Hola,pues no suelo hacer comentarios,pero quisiera que otras personas supiesen que hay un personal muy atento y en concreto Jorge que es uno de los animadores, realmente hace muy bien su trabajo, me encanta 💖
Personally, as I get up early even if I don't want to, being able to have a coffee on the terrace while I wait for the rest of the family to wake up for breakfast is great. Maybe the bar could open a bit earlier, just to mention something.
Yo personalmente que madrugo aunque no quiera,poder tener la posibilidad de tomarme un café, en la terraza hasta que se despierte el resto de la familia para ir a desayunar,tener un horario más temprano en el bar,por decir algo

Tercer año seguido que nos hacemos mil kms para venir a este hotel. Todo el personal es maravilloso, recepción, camareros bar, piscina, comedor, todos... y por supuesto todo el equipo de animación (gracias manuel, rocío, edu... todos). Muy buenas instalaciones para disfrutar del buen tiempo de cádiz. La comida está bastante bien (como en cualquier buffet algo repetitivo pero en general buena calidad y todas las noches sirven comida a la parrilla/brasa: lubina y sardinas al espeto, hamburguesas, etc) y el régimen de todo incluido es muy completo. El ambiente es familiar y muy agradable. Disfrutamos mucho pequeños y mayores. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo del hotel.
The juices at breakfast could be much better :)
Los zumos del desayuno muy mejorables :)

O nome do hotel ALEGRIA contrasta muito com a simpatia da maioria dos funcionários.
Não faziam o minimo de esforço em nos compreender nem em que nós os compreendessemos.
Até ficamos com a expressão que nos tratavam de maneira diferente por sermos Portugueses.
A localização para mim não é das melhores para quem gosta de um ambiente noturno exterior mais animado, pois no exterior do hotel não existe básicamente mais nada...

Hotel familiar orientando totalmente a los de distintas edades. En general está bastante bien. Habitaciones amplias, el buffet aceptable y el aquafun asociado es una ventaja añadida. Completamente lleno y no hubo esperas en ninguno de los procesos de atención. Personal muy bien. Animación adecuada al tipo de clientes.
As the car park was full, we parked in the Aquafun car park. It cost 10 euros per day and the only security was when the water park closed, as the car park was then locked. Not great in this respect. One of the beds wasn’t very stable (1440).
Al estar el parking completo, aparcamos en el parking del aquafun. 10 euros diarios y la vigilancia de la explanada conclusiva al cerrar el parque acuático. Regular en este sentido. Alguna de las camas no estaba muy estable (1440).

Lo mejor que tiene es el parque acuático
The food is limited, it's always the same, and at the snack bar there's hardly anything. Breakfast finishes at half past ten, and you can't get any food until midday. After eleven at night, you can't order anything else, even though the show starts at ten. It doesn't make sense.
La comida es escasa siempre lo mismo y en los snack no tienes casi nada es mas el desayuno termina a las 10 y media y hasta las 12 no puedes pedir comida y a partir de las 23 no te sirven mas nada cuando el espectáculo empieza a las 22 no se entiende

Hotel familiar con muchos servicios. El parque acuático está muy bien y aunque puede entrar la gente de fuera no está muy masificado ni hay muchas colas. El personal muy amable. Las habitaciones son espaciosas, perfectas para familias. Las actividades infantiles y familiares muy bien. La comida también de las mejores que he probado en este tipo de hoteles. Por las noches siempre tienen algo especial como barbacoa. Las actuaciones de por las noches muy bien.
The cleanliness could be a bit better, although it is quite good overall. The beach isn't right next door but the shuttle service is very convenient and quick, and you can also walk to the beach since it isn’t too far away. The only thing that could be improved is having a greater variety of activities. Also, the car park — it’s not normal for it to always be full, though luckily it’s easy to park nearby. I also didn’t like that everything ends at 11:30 at night and they kick you out of the bar. I understand stopping the music, but we’re in Spain in summer — you should be able to sit and have a drink a bit later.
La limpieza podría ser un poco mejor aunque es bastante buena, la playa no está al lado pero el servicio de transfer es muy cómodo y rápido y también se puede ir andando a la playa ya que no está muy lejos. Lo único que se podría mejorar es que haya más variedad de actividades. Y también el parking, no es normal que esté siempre lleno, menos mal que se aparca bien en los alrededores. Tampoco me ha gustado que por la noche a las 11:30 se acabe todo y te echen del bar, entiendo que se pare la música pero estamos en España en verano, se puede quedar uno tranquilo tomando algo un poco más tarde.

La primera vez que íbamos a este Hotel, la habitación estaba muy bien con sus 3 camas más la cuna para el bebé. Buen trato del personal, muy bueno el trato por Juan el conductor encargado de bajar y subir a la gente de la playa pocos hoteles tienen este servicio.
On the negative side, there’s only one bar serving snacks when there should be more, and there aren’t enough car park spaces. There were ants in the bathroom. The buffet at lunchtime wasn’t very varied, with repeated dishes—they could have offered more variety and made better use of the spacious dining hall. I also don’t think it’s right that you pay to enjoy the hotel, the pool, etc., and then find that the pool with Water Slides is full of people from outside who pay as if it were a public pool. In my view, that’s just trying to cash in, especially when we, the hotel guests, are already paying for that service. So what happens is you end up with no free sun loungers, lots of people, queues for the Water Slides—it’s either a hotel service or a public service, but it can’t be both. The pool closing time in summer wasn’t great. The entertainment shows had the music turned up way too loud for the small lounge, and even though we paid for all-inclusive, they made us leave a deposit for the wristbands, which I thought was excessive—I’ve never seen that before.
Como nota negativa, solo hay 1 bar sirviendo nacks deberia haber más, luego no tienen plazas suficientes de parking, había hormigas en el baño, el buffet en la comida poco variado repitiendo platos podría haber más variedad y aprovechar la amplitud del salón, veo mal que pagues un dinero para disfrutar del hotel piscina etc te encuentres que la parte de la piscina con toboganes entre gente de la calle pagando como si fuera una piscina pública, desde mi punto de vista es un querer aprovecharse, cuando los que ya estamos en el hotel pagamos por ese servicio, así pasa te encuentras sin hamacas libres mucha gente, colas para los toboganes o es un servicio del hotel o es un servicio público pero ambos.... el horario de cierre de la piscina en verano, las actuaciones la musica muy elevada para el salón algo pequeño, pagando un todo incluido tengas que dejar una fianza por las pulseras lo veo excesivo nunca lo visto antes

The cleanliness of the rooms leaves a lot to be desired. €1,780 to sleep on a sofa bed for 3 nights was awful. I won’t be coming back.

Lo mejor el personal muy amable y las comidas, aunque algún día no entiendo como se acaban las comidas del buffet pronto y no reponen ( por ejemplo: el codillo, ternera,etc)
The all-inclusive is a rip-off. To order at the bar by the Water Slides, you have to wait in endless queues. If people from outside are allowed into the water park, it would only be fair to have one queue for hotel guests and another for the people coming in off the street to order at the bar.
Another thing is the room cleaning, which honestly, for a four-star hotel, leaves a lot to be desired.
In summary, I won’t be coming back to this hotel. I've stayed in three-star hotels that were much better than this one.
Really poor value for money — quite expensive.
El todo incluido es un timo, para pedir en el bar de los toboganes hay que esperar colas interminables, si entra gente de la calle en el parque acuático, lo justo sería una cola para las personas del hotel y otra para la persona de la calle para pedir en el bar
Otra cosa la limpieza de las habitaciones, la verdad que para ser un 4 estrellas, deja mucho que desear
En resumen no volveré al hotel, he estado en hoteles incluso de 3 estrellas bastante mejor que este
Calidad-precio bastante caro

Disappointing
Instalaciones en buen estado y parque acuático divertido para las ocasiones en que no te acercas a la playa que está algo apartada
The buffet isn’t bad, but it could be improved if they didn’t cook so much of the food on the griddle. The juice machines in the mornings often didn’t work properly, and the juices were artificial.
El buffet no es malo pero es mejorable si no se hiciesen los productos a la plancha tanto. Las maquinas de zumo de las mañanas en diversas ocasiones no funcionaban convenientemente además de ser zumos artificiales
