Meals & more

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.

7.4 Fox Travelled with family September 2026
Bien para los niños al tener el parque acuático. El servicio de traslado a la playa genial.
Debería tener una piscina más grande y profunda. La comida está bien sin embargo es un poco repetitiva. La hora en la que pasan ha hacer la habitación es muy mala ya que pasaban entre las 15 y las 15.45 , así que no podías descansar después de comer.

9.4 Johana Del Rocío Travelled with family September 2026
Atencion muy buena, excelentes instalaciones, flexibilidad en horarios, cambios de almuerzo y cena, variedad de comida. Personal tanto, del hotel como del parque acuático muy amables.
Lo unico que puedo decir que me decepcionó un poco fue que cobraran las bebidas en la cena, ya que es la primera vez que pagando media pensión hay que pagar la bebida de la cena o almuerzo normalmente suele ir incluida. Estuvimos hace un año en un hotel del mismo grupo y la bebida estaba incluida. Por lo demás todo muy bien y recomendable.

Hotel muy enfocado a familias con niños pequeños; mucha tranquilidad y cercano a buena playa.
El TI no es tal, más de la mitad de snacks y bebidas de la carta no estaban incluídos (Ej: no puedes pedir ni unas patatas fritas de bolsa ni un granizado, etc). A partir de las 23:00h había que pagarlo todo.

9.1 Yolanda Travelled with family September 2026 All the hotel staff are very kind and friendly. The water park is great — very convenient and clean. The hotel cleaning is also excellent. The buffet organisation is top notch.
Todo el personal del hotel es muy amable y simpático. El parque acuático esta genial es muy cómodo y limpio. La limpieza del hotel también genial. La organización del bufete de 10.
The buffet food could be improved. Some things are very good but others could be better. For example: the desserts. The music and evening shows feel too short. The pool bar needs more staff so you don’t have to wait so long in the queue.
La comida del bufete se puede mejorar. Hay cosas que estan muy bien pero otras se pueden mejorar. Por ejemplo: los postres. El tiempo de musica y actuaciones por la noche se hace corto. El bar de la piscina necesita mas personal para no estar tanto tiempo en la cola.

8 Luz Maria Travelled with family September 2026 The food is good and there isn’t much waiting time. The transport to get to the beach is very good.
La comida es buena y no hay mucho tiempo de espera. El transporte para ir a la playa está muy bien.
In the afternoon they close the water park very early, at 19:30h, and even so at 18:45 they no longer let you go on the Water Slides as they start shutting it down.
Por la tarde cierran muy pronto el parque acuático, a las 19, y aún así a las 18: 45 ya no te permiten subir a los toboganes para ir cerrando.

6.9 Enrique Travelled with family September 2026 The water park and the atmosphere for children are very good. The staff are helpful and friendly.
El parque acuático y el ambiente para los niños es muy bueno. El personal muy dispuesto y agradable.
The cleanliness and upkeep of the communal areas leave a lot to be desired. The all-inclusive is very limited; I do not recommend it. The quadruple room is just a double with a worn sofa bed, where anyone over 30 kg cannot sleep.
La limpieza y el cuidado de las zonas comunes deja que desear. El todo incluido está muy limitado, no lo recomiendo. La habitación cuádruple, es una doble con un sofá cama vencido, donde no puede dormir una persona de más de 30kg.

5.4 Cristina Travelled with family September 2026 The waterpark area and the entertainment staff
La zona del parque acuático y el personal de animación
The quality of the food was awful and the cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired, especially the bathroom. Too expensive for the level of service. They take advantage of having the water park, but of course people from outside who aren’t staying can enter and sometimes it gets far too crowded.
La calidad de la comida era malisima y la limpieza de las habitaciones dejaba mucho que desear, sobre todo el baño. Muy caro para el servicio que es. De aprovechan de que tienen el parque acuático, pero claro pueden entrar la gente de la calle que no esté hospedad y a veces se llena demasiado.
