About the accommodation

The 4-star Hotel Alegria Costa Ballena Aquafun is located in the municipality of Rota, in the province of Cádiz, 1 km from Costa Ballena Beach.


The hotel features a 24-hour front desk to assist you whenever you need it, luggage storage, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, a bar and restaurant, indoor and outdoor car park (both for a fee), and a wonderful setting filled with landscaped gardens. It also features a spa area (for a fee) and a gym—great!

The rooms feature Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, a telephone, a TV, a safe (for a fee), and a fully equipped bathroom with a shower, a hair dryer, and toiletries (shampoo and body wash only). You can also unwind on the balcony with views of the outdoors.

This accommodation has outdoor pools (open during the summer season) for adults and children. Plus, the kids and the whole family can have a blast at the fantastic water park full of Water Slides—Aquafun—which is great! Plus, the hotel has thought of everything: its pools and changing rooms are accessible for people with limited mobility.

You can also enjoy family entertainment; during the off-season, activities take place on weekends, and in the summer, they’re held daily :-)

The hotel is located near some of the best beaches in Cádiz; in fact, Costa Ballena Beach is just 1 km away. We recommend visiting towns like Tarifa, Cádiz, Jerez, and more. You can also take the opportunity to discover and sample the region’s traditional cuisine while sipping a nice, cold rebujito.

Book now at the 4* Hotel Alegria Costa Ballena Aquafun and enjoy a wonderful family holiday in Rota

8 Juan Antonio Travelled with family October 2026 The child had a wonderful time. The buffet was pretty good, although there are some things that could be improved.
El niño ha disfrutado de lo lindo. El buffet bastante bien aunque hay cosas que se pueden mejorar
The cleanliness of the rooms. There were some stains on the floor which, even though it was clean, gave a bad impression. Also worth noting was the presence of ants in the room.

8 Antonio Travelled with family September 2026 Everything was fine except that on their official page — the one for Alegría Costa Ballena, not Alegría Hoteles in general — they offer a drinks package for those with Half Board or Full Board for €16, and they tell us it's a mistake on their site and that they don't have that. Bad, very bad, misleading advertising.
Todo correcto excepto que en su pagina oficial, la de Alegría Costa Ballena, no la de Alegría Hoteles en general, ofrecen un pack de bebidas para los que estén en media pensión o pensión completa por 16 euros y nos dicen que es un error de su pagina y que ellos eso no lo tienen, mal, muy mal, publicidad engañosa

Every time the air conditioning or the bathroom extractor was on, there was a strong, unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke that made the room unbearable.
Cada vez que se ponía el aire acondicionado, o el extractor del cuarto de baño olía a un desagradable olor a humo de tabaco, pero muy intenso que hacía insoportable estar en la habitación

4.9 Manuel Travelled with family September 2026 Water park — great until it gets crowded with people who only go in to queue; endless lines for everything.
Parque acuático hasta que se masifica con gente que sólo entra al parque colas para todo interminables
One of the worst food quality and variety I’ve seen — I’ve been to three-star hotels with better food. The online check-in is useless; even though it was all filled in and reception was empty, they wouldn’t give us the wristband until 12:00h supposedly because they didn’t know which room we were assigned. They only gave us the room at 15:00h.
Una de las peores calidad y variedad de comidas que estado en hoteles de tres estrellas con mejor comida, el check online no sirve para nada además de llevarlo todo relleno y estar recepción vacía no nos dejaron poner la pulsera hasta las 12.00 supuestamente por q no saben q habitación te toca la habitación nos la dieron a las 15.00
