A hot-day plan should feel easy. This one pairs a sea-view infinity pool with a proper lunch that’s built around rice. You also get a ready-made lounging setup—hammock, parasol, and towel—so you can drop your stuff and chill instead of hunting for shade.

The main trade-off is the price. It’s not the cheapest day on the island, and the service flow can feel a bit slow if you’re relying on the interactive ordering system to call staff.

Key things to know before you go

• Infinity pool with Atlantic views: you’re lounging with the ocean in your line of sight
• Lunch is a full meal, not a snack: starter choice + rice main + dessert
• Hammock setup for adults: hammock, parasol, and towel included
• Welcome drink is included: cava or juice served up front
• Drinks cost extra: cocktails and other beverages are not part of the ticket
• No outside food for non-baby needs: baby purees and compotes are the only exceptions

Perchel Beach Club at a glance: pool luxury with a real lunch plan

Perchel Beach Club is the kind of place you book when you want less logistics and more lounging. The big hook is the infinity pool, designed so it visually runs into the Atlantic. On a bright Gran Canaria day, that alone can make the whole outing feel special.

I also like how the ticket treats lunch like part of the experience, not an afterthought. You get a starter you can actually choose, then a rice dish, then dessert. And the rice menu isn’t vague—there are specific options like Valencian and Black of Chipirón, plus other styles listed on the ticket package.

One more thing that matters: you’re not just paying for the pool. The adult package includes an individual hammock, parasol, and towel, which is the difference between spending your time on the hunt for a good spot versus spending your time actually relaxing.

Your full-day plan: how the 11:00 to 19:00 window works

The club’s daily hours run 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week, for the season shown (09/10/2025 to 06/20/2026). Even though the experience is listed as roughly 3 to 8 hours, that time window is wide enough to match different styles of relaxation.

Here’s a practical way to shape your day around the ticket:

• Arrive near opening (or close to it) so you can pick a good hammock spot and settle in before the midday rush.
• Plan lunch mid-day. The meal is included, so treat it like your anchor point.
• Use the rest of the time for pool + shade breaks. You’ll be switching between sunbathing, hammock time, and cooling off in the water.

This is also a good “reset day” if you’re doing island exploring the rest of your trip. Gran Canaria can be intense in the sun, and this setup is a simple way to cool down without committing to a long excursion.

Lunch that’s built around rice and local ingredients

Lunch is the heart of the included package, and it’s refreshingly specific.

You start with a choice of one starter:

• Canary salad
• Croquettes
• Smoked cheese with tomato jam

Then you choose one rice main (the ticket lists several options):

• Lord
• Meloso de Vegetables
• Iberian
• Valencian
• Black of Chipirón

Dessert comes after, and the whole meal is presented as a gastronomic experience with a focus on kilometer zero products (as described for the concept).

A practical note: menus can change. The offer says the composition of options may shift for alternatives of equal or greater value. So if you’re picky about one specific rice style, I’d still keep that choice in mind when you arrive, but don’t be surprised if the exact listing updates.

What’s included with the ticket (and why it’s good value)

This is where the ticket makes sense. You’re paying about $91.34 per person, and what you get isn’t just pool entry.

Included highlights:

• Infinity pool access
• Lunch: starter + rice main + dessert
• Individual hammock, parasol, and towel for the adult
• A welcome drink snack: cava or juice

That hammock-and-towel setup is more important than it sounds. On many beach clubs, you end up paying separately for loungers or shade. Here, you’re already covered for adult comfort.

The welcome drink is also a small but real perk. Getting a cava or juice right away helps set the tone: you’re not starting the day thirsty and waiting.

Drinks, cocktails, and add-ons: what costs extra

Your ticket includes the welcome drink, but drinks are not included. That means if you order cocktails, water, soda, or anything beyond the included drink, you’ll pay at the bar.

The good news is that the club atmosphere includes more than just pool and lunch. Some visitors talk about pool food and cocktails, and there’s also mention of paid spa services like massage. So if you want to turn the day up a notch, you can—just budget for it separately.

If you want to keep costs controlled, do this:

• Treat lunch as your main spend.
• Decide ahead of time if you want one cocktail or a lighter drink plan.

Poolside comfort details that matter in the heat

A day like this lives or dies on shade, water comfort, and how quickly you can get what you need.

The ticket gives you:

• A hammock
• A parasol
• A towel

So you don’t have to rent or improvise. Once you’re settled, you can move through your day in a calm cycle: relax in shade, swim, dry off, repeat.

One real consideration from actual experiences: service can take time when you rely on the interactive system to reach staff. Translation: if you want something—extra help, ordering, or questions—don’t wait until you’re starving or fully annoyed. Make your requests early, and give the staff a little time to respond.

Is it a real beach, or more of a pool club?

This is worth asking yourself before you book. The vibe is beach club by the sea, but it’s not marketed as a sandy shoreline day.

Some comments point out that there isn’t a traditional beach setup, which matters if you picture beach towels on sand and a coastline stroll. If you want sun, water, and sea views without the sand, this fits. If you want a beach you can walk on, you may feel slightly let down.

Family fit: hammocks, outside food rules, and music volume

This is a strong option for families in terms of space and relaxed “everyone can hang out” energy. The ticket is set up for adults, though, and the rules get more specific when kids are involved.

Key family details:

• Children under 12: the price does not include the hammock. The rule says to share a hammock for each adult.
• Outside food and drinks are not allowed, except baby purees and compotes.

That outside-food rule can be a deal-breaker if you’re traveling with toddlers who need small snacks or bottles between meals. If you’re in that situation, plan around what’s allowed and expect that you’ll need to feed kids using the permitted baby food exceptions.

Also, the overall day can feel busy in a good way, but pay attention to comfort needs: if you’re sensitive to loud music, consider that the atmosphere includes music and that levels can vary by day.

The staff experience: friendly, but ask questions early

Staff friendliness comes up again and again, with one person named Eugenio called out for being very kind and attentive without being overbearing. That’s the kind of service style that works in a resort setting: helpful, present, and not hovering.

Still, not everything runs like a perfectly oiled machine. One recurring point is that communication can be inconsistent—if you have questions about where to go, how to order, or what’s easiest during busy times, ask right when you arrive. Get your bearings fast so the rest of the day stays friction-free.

Location and getting there: near public transport

The club is described as being near public transportation, which is handy on an island where you might not want to rely on a full day of driving.

No exact stop name is given here, so I’d treat it as: you’ll likely have an easier time getting there than you would for a truly remote property. The practical move is to plan a route that puts you close before the midday heat, then use a short walk or short local transfer to reach the entrance.

Who this is best for (and who should skip it)

This ticket is best for people who want:

• A full-day pool escape with shade and a setup ready for you
• A lunch plan you don’t have to think about
• A quieter kind of luxury that’s about comfort and views, not just partying

It may be less ideal if you:

• Want a true sandy beach experience rather than a pool club by the sea
• Care a lot about avoiding any extra spending, since drinks cost extra
• Hate waiting on service systems and prefer fully hands-on staff on demand

If you’re traveling as a couple, this can be a very satisfying day. If you’re traveling with family, it’s a good structure—just be aware of the hammock rules for kids and the outside food restrictions.

Price and value: is $91.34 worth it?

At $91.34 per person, you’re paying for a bundle: pool time, a full lunch, and adult lounging comfort (hammock, parasol, towel) plus a welcome drink.

That’s why it often feels like decent value compared with piecing it together yourself. Shade and loungers alone can cost real money at pool clubs, and a solid sit-down lunch adds up fast on any tourist coast.

Is it cheaper than other options on Gran Canaria? Probably. But this isn’t trying to be budget. It’s priced like a day where you show up, settle in, and don’t spend your time solving problems.

One last credibility signal: the experience sits at 4.8 rating and is recommended by 93% of travelers, which suggests most people come away happy with what’s included.

Should you book Perchel Beach Club with lunch?

Book it if you want a simple, comfortable day that mixes pool relaxation with a structured lunch. This is the kind of plan that works well when your vacation schedule has been busy and you need a “slow down” day.

Skip it or think twice if you’re expecting a classic sandy beach, or if your group is very sensitive to wait times for staff requests. Also, if you’re traveling with kids who need lots of snack logistics, plan around the outside-food rules and the hammock setup.

My decision guide:

• If your top priority is shade + pool + a no-stress lunch: yes, it’s a strong choice.
• If your top priority is cheap or total control over food for kids: you’ll want a different plan.
