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.

10 Rebeca Travelled with family June 2026 The buffet is one of the best I’ve ever been to. A wide variety. The staff treatment is excellent. The facilities are very good and the cleanliness is outstanding.
El buffet es de los mejores en los que he estado. Mucha variedad. El trato del personal estupendo. Las instalaciones muy buenas y la limpieza de 10.
It would improve the gym; it really has hardly any machines or equipment. The hotel entertainment at night is quite weak.
Mejoraría el gym , realmente no tiene apenas máquinas ni equipamiento. La animación del hotel por las noches es bastante floja.

6.4 Mariángeles Travelled with family June 2026 What we liked most was undoubtedly the water park, fun and complete for staying at a hotel, and also to highlight the friendliness of the restaurant waiters.
Lo que más nos ha gustado indudablemente el parque acuático, divertido y completo para estar en un hotel, y también destacar la amabilidad de los camareros del restaurante.
The two aspects to improve would be: the park’s closing time, which is too tight, as by 18:45 we have to leave the pools. The other negative point has been the cleanliness of the room, which was always done after 15:00h, and in the four days none of them swept the floor, which was really dirty.
Los dos aspectos a mejorar serían, el horario de cierre del parque, que es demasiado justo, a las 18:45 ya hay que salir de las piscinas. El otro punto negativo ha sido la limpieza de la habitación, que nos la hacían siempre después de las 15h, y de los 4 días ninguno barrieron el suelo, que estaba realmente sucio

7.1 Ivan Travelled with family June 2026 The best thing about the hotel is the animation team.
Lo mejor que tiene el hotel es el equipo de animación
There is a van that takes people to the beach, but it only has 8 people and you often have to wait a long time. The water park and hotel pool are crowded. It’s hard to find a free sun lounger. The hotel pool feels small for the number of guests the hotel accommodates.
Hay una furgoneta que lleva a la playa pero solo tiene 8 plazas y sueles tener que esperar bastante. Parque acuático y piscina del hotel saturadas. Cuesta trabajo encontrar una hamaca libre. La piscina del hotel se queda pequeña para la cantidad de plazas que admite el hotel.

8.9 Maria Jose Travelled with family June 2026 Nice hotel with a water park where my 7-year-old enjoyed it very much. Although the entrance was shared with non-staying guests, there were no long queues. Wide buffet with variety and at dinners BBQ or sardine skewers. Breakfast was spectacular. Very friendly staff.
Bonito hotel con parque acuático donde mi niño de 7 años ha disfrutado muchísimo. A pesar de ser compartido con entrada con gente que no esté alojada, no había colas excesivas. Buffet amplio con variedad y en las cenas bbq o espeto de sardinas. Desayuno espectacular. Personal muy amable.
Small room for two adults, a 7-year-old child and a nearly two-year-old baby, practically without a wardrobe for 4. The closing time of the water park is very early; at 18:45 they’re shooing people out of the water. The large hall of the stage and bar had a broken air conditioner, and we have been there for 6 days and they haven’t fixed it, with 32 degrees when we arrived this week there. The draft beer from that same bar is warm. All-inclusive finishes at 23:00h, which also seems very early to us. In all the places we’ve stayed it has been 00:00.
Habitación pequeña para dos adultos, niño de 7 años y bebé de casi dos años, prácticamente sin armario para 4. El horario de cierre del parque acuático es muy temprano, alas 18.45 están pitando para echar a la gente del agua. La sala grande del escenario y bar tenía roto el aire acondicionado y hemos estado allí 6 días y no lo han arreglado con 32 grados que hemos llegado está semana allí. La cerveza de tirador de ese mismo bar caliente. El todo incluido acaba alas 23.00, que también nos parece muy temprano. En todos los que hemos estado ha sido las 00.00.

9.4 Estefania Travelled with family June 2026 It is a small and very comfortable resort, good facilities, very good food, especially the breakfast. The staff are very friendly. The water park is very convenient.
Es un resort pequeño y muy cómodo, buenas instalaciones, comida muy buena, sobre todo el desayuno . El personal muy amable. El parque acuatico muy comodo
They are short of staff; we were there for 3 days and none of us were cleaned because the cleaners don’t have any more to give. We miss a larger pool; the one in the water park is too small.
Tienen falta de personal, estuvimos 3 dias y ninguno nos limpiaron porque las limpiadoras no dan mas de si.Echamos en falta una piscina mas grande, se queda pequel la del parque acuatico

I would improve the nighttime entertainment. It was a very quiet atmosphere. Also, the room furniture could be improved. There were no drawers. There wasn’t enough space to store a family's clothes for four for a week.
Mejoraría la animación nocturna. Era un ambiente muy tranquilo. También, faltaría mejorar el mobiliario de la habitación. Faltaban cajones. No habia suficiente espacio para guardar la ropa de una familia de 4 para una semana

9.1 Silvia Travelled with family June 2026 The buffet is too small for so many people and queues form; there should be another buffet area, even if it’s in the same dining hall. The food is exquisite.

8.9 Gabriel Travelled with family June 2026 The staff treatment has been excellent, they have been very attentive, the meals with a lot of variety, there were things that were good and others that were not so good, the prices of the drinks were reasonable.
El trato del personal ha sido buenisimo, han sudo muy atentos, las comidas con mucha variedad, habia cosas que bien y otras que pss, los precios de las bebidas bien.
Too many people in the dining room at the weekend. The cook who was on the night shift at the outdoor grill left the meat burnt, and the next day he kept the queue waiting for a long time while talking with a diner. A female cook had to reprimand him.
Demasiada gente el fin de semana en el comedor. El cocinero que estaba por la noche en la parrilla exterior, dejaba la carne quemada y el dia siguiente hizo esperar mucho tiempo la fila mientras hablaba con un comensal. Tuvo que llamarle la atencion una cocinera

9.1 LauradLeón Travelled with family June 2026 The hotel is ideal for families with children. The family rooms are spacious and the food is decent, a buffet with live cooking and a barbecue section. The Aquapark is great, with Water Slides for all ages; the only drawback is that, since external guests can access it, there are times when it becomes quite crowded.
El hotel es ideal para familia con niños. Las habitaciones familiares son amplias y la comida está bien, buffet con cocina en vivo y parte de barbacoa.El Aquapark está genial, con toboganes para todas las edades lo único que como puede acceder gente de fuera del hotel hay momentos que está bastante masificado.
A hotel’s own large pool is missed... the one that exists is very small... The hotel’s shuttle service to the beach is very slow... in the end we ended up going to a car park area a little way from the hotels in our own car to be able to park easily.
Se echa de menos una piscina exclusiva del hotel amplia...la que hay es muy pequeña... El servicio lanzadera del hotel a la playa es muy lento ... nosotros al final nos íbamos en nuestro coche a una zona un poco lejos de los hoteles para poder aparcar con facilidad.

8.3 Myriam Travelled with family June 2026 And it’s a success to have the water fun by the side for children and not-so-little ones, the charming instructors, the food is good.
E un éxito tener al lado el aguafun para los peques y no tan peques, los monitores encantadores, la comida está bien,.
The least thing is that the sofa bed sleeps badly, and the van to go to the beach is too small.

9.7 Cristina Travelled with family June 2026 Carefully kept and comfortable facilities. The staff very pleasant. The cold items at the buffet and the variety and flavour of the food in general. The evening shows. The special activities for Saint John's Night.
Instalaciones cuidadas y cómodas. El personal muy agradable. Los pinchos fríos del buffet y la variedad y sabor de la comida en general. Los espectáculos nocturnos. Las actividades especiales de la noche de San Juan.
The distance to the beach, but it is taken care of with the free transport service in Juan’s van, although I suppose that in peak season it is not enough. The small number of double floatation devices at the water park, for which you had to wait. Lack of chairs to be able to enjoy the evening show.
La distancia a la playa, pero se arregla con el servicio de transporte gratuito en la furgoneta de Juan, aunque supongo que en temporada alta no es suficiente. La poca cantidad de flotadores dobles del parque acuático para los que había que esperar.Falta de sillas para poder disfrutar del espectáculo nocturnos.
