ALEGRIA Costa Ballena  

On Spain’s Costa de la Luz in Rota — a short stroll from Playa Agua Dulce and Playa de las Tres Piedras. About 15 minutes on foot to Ballena Beach and minutes from Costa Ballena Ocean Golf Club, with Cádiz landmarks reachable (the property sits roughly 9 km from Cádiz city centre). Family-friendly and pet-friendly by the shore.

A contemporary seaside hotel with 200 rooms that keep things simple and bright. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, safes and desks; room equipment varies by category. Expect playful, family-first touches — kids’ playrooms and an arcade — plus multilingual staff and an elevator for easy access.

Full-service spa and sauna for unwind time, a gym and table tennis for active guests, and a complimentary water park plus an outdoor pool for splash-happy mornings. Rent bikes to explore the coast, use onsite parking (charges may apply), and stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi. Laundry, dry cleaning and a tour desk keep travel easy—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the beach.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout and desks in rooms. 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and daily housekeeping make short stays hassle-free.

An onsite restaurant, bar/lounge and café cover meals and coffee cravings. Buffet breakfast is served daily (7:30–10:30) for a fee, and room service is available when you want to stay in.
