This hotel is AMAZING! We have been here 3 times already and we love it! It is so clean and family-friendly, the food is amazing, etc. We loved that spa, service, and accessibility to the beach. There is nothing that we can name that we did not like.

If you like lots and lots of screaming kids crying everywhere, this is the hotel for you. There is no peace. The room and the place is nice but the amount of people and quality of those people is very hard to bear. Awful music blasting at the pool. I was not happy here.

Another great little break at Costa Ballena. Despite the long queues at check in, the staff worked through the lines promptly. Food at the buffet was ok, has been better in the past, same with the pool restaurant. There was plenty of entertainment for the kids during the day and in the evening which was appreciated. Grounds and pool were clean at all times. Don't understand why small inflatables are not allowed in the main pool. I understand big ones, but small rubber rings should be considered in my opinion. Thank you for a nice few days (think its our fourth visit), will come again soon!

Very nice clean resort
The rooms were very spacious and clean, the facilities were great for kids. The food quality could be better, especially with the variety towards vegeterians and pesceterians, as there were a lot of ham and other red meat with very litte choice of seafood

Mooie, ruime en schone hotelkamer. Prachtig kinderspeelbad met diverse glijbaantjes. Direct aan een mooi strand. Enige minpunt is dat het hotel binnenkort dicht ging, waardoor bijv. de helft van het zwembad al afgesloten was. Jammer, want je betaalt wel de volle pond. Maar dat is natuurlijk afhankelijk van de datum dat je afreist naar dit hotel. Verder eveneens een prima buffet (gevarieerd, dagelijks anders kost).

Property is family friendly, staff very helpful. Common spaces Very spacious and clean. Childrens pool and play area is perfect for kids, beach is easily accessible and location feels isolated from outside distractions. Rooms and clean, beds a little more firm than Im ised to but well presented when you enter to find the robes on the bed.

Horrible service and kids running with no control
Rude service at the dining room. Kids running around with no control and no masks. Coffee, horrible ever taste. We paid for breakfast but we ended up having breakfast everyday in a little town close by. I complained, talked to the sub-director, but not action taken whatsoever. Just a friendly email to follow the protocol. Honestly, very disappointed! Will never come back and not recommended.
