Meals & more

Full Board: make the most of every meal

If you choose Full Board, here’s how your dining experience is organised so you can plan ahead with ease:

  • Your stay begins with lunch on the day of arrival.
  • It ends with breakfast on your departure day.

Would you like to change the order? Simply contact the hotel before arrival and they will confirm if it’s possible. You’ll find the contact number on your booking confirmation, the team will be happy to assist you.

  • Please note, this applies to catering only. Be sure to check the official check-in and check-out times to organise your stay smoothly.

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.

Why this destination is a must-visit

Rota is a charming coastal town located in the province of Cádiz, in southern Spain. Set on the Costa de la Luz, it combines wide Atlantic beaches, a historic old town and a relaxed Andalusian atmosphere. It’s an excellent choice for families and couples looking for space, calm waters, and an authentic seaside destination away from the crowds.

Make sure you visit:

  • The historic old town, with narrow streets, whitewashed houses and a local feel.
  • Castillo de Luna, a medieval fortress right in the town centre.
  • The seafront promenade, perfect for walks at sunset.
  • Plaza de España, a lively meeting point surrounded by cafés.
  • The fishing harbour, where daily life still revolves around the sea.

Beaches we think you’ll like:

  • Playa de la Costilla, central and very family-friendly.
  • Playa del Rompidillo, quiet and ideal for relaxing walks.
  • Playa de Punta Candor, wide and natural, great for long beach days.
  • Playa de Galeones, close to town and easy to access.

Family-friendly activities:

  • Enjoy safe swimming on long, sandy beaches with gentle waves.
  • Cycle or walk along the coastal paths and promenade.
  • Spend time in local parks and playgrounds near the beach.
  • Try water sports such as paddleboarding or kayaking.
  • Explore the town on foot and enjoy ice creams by the sea.

Make sure you try these local delicacies:

  • Fresh fried fish, especially local Atlantic varieties.
  • Urta a la roteña, a traditional fish dish typical of the area.
  • Shellfish and seafood caught daily along the coast.
  • Andalusian tapas enjoyed in small, local bars.

Make the most of your visit and go to...

  • Cádiz, about 40 minutes away, for its historic centre and lively atmosphere.
  • Sanlúcar de Barrameda, famous for its manzanilla wine and riverside walks.
  • Jerez de la Frontera, known for sherry bodegas and flamenco culture.
  • Doñana National Park, ideal for nature lovers and wildlife spotting.

9.1 Martin Travelled with family May 2026
Aquafun park fue muy divertido aun con tanta gente. Los buffets de cena y desayuno excelentes, variedad y frescura, y los camareros muy amables excepto el asador. Un poco brusco el hombre.
Me hubiera gustado que el hecho de que el Aquafun solo estaria abierto los Sabados y Domingo’s hasta el 4 de Junio, fuera claramente dicho en la reserva, pues pensé que lo podriamos disfrutar Domingo y Lunes. Sería bueno tener mas flotadores dobles.
