Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch
A pool with an Atlantic view. Perchel Beach Club turns a hot day in Gran Canaria into an easy break beside the sea, with an infinity pool, sun beds, towel, welcome drink, and a three-course lunch included. I especially like the pool’s open ocean outlook and the generous food package, which includes a starter, rice dish, and dessert rather than just a snack.
I also like the calm, family-friendly setup. You can settle into an individual hammock, order drinks and food from your place, and stay for anything from three hours to most of the 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM opening period. The main caution is cost: at $91.34 per person, this is a day of paid comfort, not a cheap pool visit, and drinks are extra.

Key points to know before you book

- The infinity pool faces the Atlantic: The pool is the main reason to come, with an open view that looks especially appealing late in the day.
- Lunch is a full three-course meal: Choose one starter, one rice dish, and dessert. Portions can be substantial.
- Your adult package includes comfort basics: You get a hammock, parasol, towel, infinity-pool access, and a welcome cava or juice.
- Children under 12 share an adult hammock: A child’s admission does not include a separate hammock.
- The venue has no sandy beach: Despite its name, Perchel Beach Club is a pool and leisure venue rather than a beach day.
- Food from outside is not allowed: The stated exception is baby purees and compotes, so plan snacks carefully if you are visiting with young children.
What your day at Perchel Beach Club feels like

Perchel Beach Club is designed for people who want to stop sightseeing for a while. Gran Canaria offers plenty of beaches and public swimming areas, but this experience gives you a reserved place to settle down, a polished pool setting, and lunch arranged as part of the day.
The booking is flexible in duration. The advertised visit lasts approximately three to eight hours, and the club is open daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM during the stated operating period, September 10, 2025, through June 20, 2026. That makes it possible to arrive late for an afternoon by the pool or come early and treat the venue as your main activity.
I would allow at least half a day. You need enough time to enjoy the pool, use your hammock, eat lunch without rushing, and wait for the slower parts of poolside service. If you want to see the sunset views praised in the feedback, check the day’s closing time before booking, since the venue closes at 7:00 PM.

The infinity pool is the star of the visit
The pool is the strongest part of the experience. Its edge visually runs into the Atlantic, giving you a broad sea view while you swim or sit near the water. The setting does much of the work here. You are paying for the atmosphere as well as the pool itself.
The water temperature has been described as comfortable, and the surrounding hammocks are arranged for a relaxed day rather than a quick swim. You can spend time in the water, return to your shaded place, and order refreshments without packing up every hour.
The name can cause a small misunderstanding. There is no sandy beach included, and one review specifically found that disappointing. Think of this as a beach club beside the sea, not a venue with direct beach access. If sand, waves, and a public shoreline are the main point of your day, a regular beach will suit you better.
For a couple, the pool creates an easy, low-effort day. For a family, the open setting and plenty of room around the pool can make it simpler to keep everyone comfortable. Still, the package is not all-inclusive. Poolside drinks, cocktails, and any extra food cost more.
Hammocks, parasols, and towels add real value

An adult ticket includes an individual hammock, parasol, and towel. That matters because it removes three minor but annoying problems from a pool day: finding somewhere to lie down, arranging shade, and carrying a wet towel around.
The hammock is more than a decorative touch. It gives you a fixed base for the day, which is useful if you plan to swim, eat, read, and rest in turns. The parasol is important in Gran Canaria’s strong sun, especially if you intend to stay for several hours.
The child policy needs attention. Admission for children under 12 does not include a separate hammock. Each child shares a hammock with an accompanying adult, so families should not expect one reserved lounger per person. If your group needs extra space, ask about the arrangement before booking rather than assuming the adult and child packages are identical.
The welcome drink is also modest but pleasant: cava or juice. It gives the arrival a more special feel, although it should not be confused with unlimited drinks. You will pay separately for cocktails, wine, soft drinks, and other beverages.
Lunch centers on Canary and Spanish rice dishes

The included meal is one of the better reasons to consider the price. You choose a starter from three options:
- Canary salad
- Croquettes
- Smoked cheese with tomato jam
You then choose one rice dish:
- Lord rice
- Meloso de Vegetables
- Iberian rice
- Valencian rice
- Black rice with chipirón
Dessert completes the meal. The exact menu can change, with alternatives of equal or greater value possible, so you should treat the listed choices as a guide rather than a permanent menu.
The food offering fits the setting. Rice dishes are the club’s specialty, and the meal is more substantial than the usual poolside sandwich. One particularly useful detail is portion size. The meal can be generous, and a salad starter may be larger than you expect. If you are a light eater, you may not want to order additional food before seeing the first course.
The rice choices are not equally safe for every taste. Valencian and Iberian rice may appeal to you if you want familiar, savory flavors. The vegetable option suits a meat-free preference, while black rice with chipirón brings a stronger seafood character. The quality of the dish can depend on your selection, so take a moment to ask the staff what is being served well that day.
The lunch package also has a practical drawback. Drinks are not included. At a venue where you may spend most of the day, beverages can increase the final bill quickly, particularly if you order cocktails or several drinks by the pool. I would include that in your budget from the start.

★ 4.4 · 3,690 reviews - Guided tour of the Banana World

Poolside service can be convenient, but allow time

The club uses an interactive system for calling or requesting waiter service from your place. That means you do not always need to leave your hammock to order. It is a good idea in principle, particularly when you are wet, carrying children’s belongings, or trying to hold onto a shaded spot.
The system is not always quick. Waiters can take time to reach you, so this is not the place for rushed lunch or rapid drink service. If you have a fixed departure time, order before you are hungry and leave a generous cushion before your transport or next activity.
Staff impressions are generally strong. The service has been described as friendly, attentive, and helpful without feeling intrusive. A staff member named Eugenio received special praise for being available and kind while giving the group space. That balance suits a long pool day, where constant attention can be just as tiring as poor service.
The front desk may not always explain everything clearly at arrival. I would ask three questions early: where your assigned hammock is, how the lunch booking works, and how to request service. A quick explanation can save you from figuring out the interactive system while you are already settled.
A polished setting with a few limits

Perchel Beach Club aims for an upscale feel. The pool, comfortable hammocks, food presentation, and sea outlook create a sense of a planned day out rather than a simple swim. Many people use the venue for a birthday, a couples’ afternoon, or a family break from hotel routines.
The atmosphere is usually described as pleasant and relaxed, with enough room for people to feel comfortable. Music volume has also been viewed positively, which matters if you want some energy without turning the day into a loud party.
The venue’s spa may appeal if you want extra pampering, and massage appointments have been purchased separately by some people. A massage is not part of this ticket, so you should treat it as an optional add-on rather than part of the package.
Cocktails are another tempting extra. The setting and sea views make a drink by the pool feel appropriate, but the ticket price does not cover them. If you are trying to keep the outing near $91.34, stick to the included welcome drink and plan your other purchases carefully.
Families should read the food rule carefully

The club allows service animals and is near public transportation. Most people can take part, and mobile ticketing makes entry simple. The available information does not provide a detailed list of pool facilities for infants or changing arrangements, so families with very young children should confirm those details directly.
The outside-food rule is more important. Food and beverages from outside are not allowed, except for baby purees and compotes. This can be awkward for parents of toddlers or young children who rely on familiar snacks. Pack only what clearly fits the stated exception, and do not assume that biscuits, yogurt, or bottled water will be admitted.
This rule has caused frustration for parents arriving with snacks for three- and six-year-old children. The best practical choice is to check the policy before you go and plan to use the included lunch or purchase food inside. If your child needs specific food for dietary or medical reasons, contact the club ahead of time rather than relying on an exception at the entrance.
The family setting itself receives strong approval. There is space for everyone to be comfortable, and the pool temperature and hammocks make it easy to alternate between activity and rest. Just remember that the adult hammock arrangement may require children under 12 to share with an adult.
Is $91.34 good value?

The answer depends on how you use the day. If you only want a swim, the price is high compared with a public beach or a standard hotel pool. You are paying for the reserved hammock, parasol, towel, welcome drink, pool access, setting, and substantial lunch.
For a full afternoon with lunch, the calculation looks better. A three-course meal at a polished venue, combined with a dedicated place to relax and an infinity pool beside the Atlantic, can justify the cost for a special day. The value is strongest if you stay several hours and use everything included.
The price becomes less attractive if you add several cocktails, extra food, or a massage. Those additions may make the day feel more indulgent, but they can push the final cost well above the advertised ticket. I would decide before arrival how much you want to spend beyond the package.
Compared with other pool clubs on the island, this is reportedly more expensive. The difference is the setting and the package. If you value comfort, food, and a refined pool environment, the extra cost may be fair. If your priority is simply swimming beside the ocean, choose a cheaper beach or pool option.
Best times and best types of visits
I would choose this experience for one of three occasions:
- A slow family day when you want facilities and lunch in one place
- A couples’ afternoon with a comfortable pool, sea views, and optional drinks
- A break from sightseeing when the heat makes another packed schedule unappealing
The three to eight hour duration gives you room to fit the club around other plans, but I would not squeeze it into a hurried itinerary. Arriving at 4:30 PM for a quick swim may leave too little time for lunch, service, and relaxation. A midday or early afternoon arrival makes better use of the ticket.
The club’s hours also shape the mood. Late afternoon may give you softer light and a chance to see the sunset colors noted in the feedback, but the 7:00 PM closing time limits how late you can stay. Confirm the hours for your exact date, especially if your visit is near the edges of the stated season.
Booking, cancellation, and practical details
You receive confirmation at booking, and the ticket is mobile, so you do not need to print a voucher. The venue is near public transportation, which helps if you are not driving.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience’s local start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. Keep the local cut-off time in mind if you are booking from another time zone.
The experience is booked, on average, 18 days ahead. That does not guarantee that every date sells out, but it is a useful signal for planning. If your holiday dates are fixed, booking ahead is sensible, especially if you want a particular day for a family celebration or a special occasion.
Should you book Perchel Beach Club?
Book it if you want a comfortable, polished pool day with lunch already arranged. The Atlantic-facing infinity pool, reserved adult hammock, towel, parasol, and generous rice-based meal give the ticket real substance, and the friendly service adds to the easygoing mood.
Skip it if you mainly want a sandy beach, low-cost swimming, or an all-inclusive drinks package. Families should also be comfortable with the outside-food rule and the fact that children under 12 share an adult hammock. For everyone else, this is a strong choice for a slow day in Gran Canaria, especially if you stay long enough to enjoy the pool, meal, and sea views rather than treating it as a quick stop.
