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.

El hotel cómodo para pasar un par de días, variedad en las comidas y con sabor
I was taking the all inclusive and they wanted me to pay to drink a 0.0 combo. If you can't drink alcohol and can't handle mega sugary non-alcoholic cocktails, this hotel is not for you (unless you want to pay extra to enjoy the all-inclusive drinks).
Llevaba el todo incluido y querían que pagara por beber un combinado 0,0. Si no puedes beber alcohol y no puedes con los cócteles sin alcohol mega azucarados, este hotel no es para tí (salvo que quieras pagar un extra para disfrutar las bebidas del todo incluido)

Personal muy agradable y atento, los niños han disfrutado mucho de los toboganes
Hammock area with little cleaning on the floor that attracts many flies, from one day to the next they do not clean the tables and if some liquid is spilled they do not clean it, in short, many flies that do not let them rest.
Zona de hamacas con poca limpieza en el suelo que atrae a muchas moscas, de un día a otro no limpian las mesitas y si se derrama algo de líquido no lo limpian en definitiva muchas moscas que no dejan descansar

El hotel era bonito por fuera, el acuafun para peques y mayores fabuloso y la comida del buffet muy buena, variada y de calidad, personal muy agradable, y un 10 en el servicio de bus con Juan que te baja y sube de la playa al hotel y viceversa.
Rooms and bathrooms are very old and in need of urgent renovation.

Me ha encantado obviamente su parque acuático, y muchísimo sus snacks del bar aquafun, su todo incluido ha sido fabuloso, camareros muy atentos... habitaciones amplias, acceso a las habitaciones muy directos... repetimos el año que viene
La limpieza debería mejorar, mi habitación en toda mi estancia no han hecho una buena limpieza, la bañera tenia pelos,el suelo en general no estaba limpio la habitación no olíó a limpia en ningún momento de mi estancia, no habia gel y ni aún diciéndoselo a la chica de la limpieza el mismo dia 12 que entramos lo puso. Ya de tarde volvimos a pedirlo a uma chica diferente y nos dió el bote. Los teléfonos no funcionan

La comida del buffet no estaba buena, era siempre lo mismo. Menos el sábado que cambiaron. Era mejor comer fuera en los snacks que el buffet
Si, la variedad del buffet y que deberían ampliar el horario del bar del todo incluido hasta las 12. No es lógico que mientras todavía haya espectáculo corten la barra

La calidad del hotel impresionante, muy amables todos y volvería sin duda
El aspecto negativo sería que el todo incluido termina a las 23:00 a diferencia de otros hoteles que terminan a las 00:00. Lo otro sería que está lejos de la playa y aunque te ponen el transporte solo está hasta las 19:00
