What do guests have to say about ALEGRIA Costa Ballena AquaFun Hotel?
The Alegria Costa Ballena AquaFun Hotel is a place that leaves its mark. Guests praise its water park and facilities in general, as well as the attentiveness of the staff, always willing to help. The food also receives good reviews, with a varied and quality buffet. However, some guests point out that the entertainment could be more dynamic and that the prices of drinks are somewhat high. It is also mentioned that the pool could be larger and that car park is scarce. In short, it is an ideal hotel for families looking for fun and relaxation in a pleasant environment.

El hotel cómodo para pasar un par de días, variedad en las comidas y con sabor
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
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
