Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch

I’m reviewing a full-day ticket that’s built for one thing: a long, easy day by the Atlantic at Perchel Beach Club. You get access timed for an afternoon swing of sun (and often a nice sunset view), with an infinity pool and a included lunch that’s focused on rice dishes and local ingredients.

What I like most is the way the ticket turns into a real “day plan,” not just entry. You’ll have your own hammock, parasol, and towel, and lunch comes as a proper starter + rice main + dessert, plus a welcome snack drink (cava or juice).

The main thing to consider is that the place is a beach club, not a sandy beach. A couple of guests also pointed out that service can take a moment when they’re busy, based on the interactive system used to call staff.

Key highlights you’ll care about

• Infinity pool views that visually connect with the Atlantic Ocean
• Included hammock setup (adult gets hammock, parasol, towel)
• Lunch is structured: starter choice + rice dish choice + dessert
• Welcome drink included (cava or juice)
• Rules on outside food/drinks: not allowed except baby purees/compotes
• Good guest score: 93% recommend and an overall rating of 4.8 from 316 reviews

Why this ticket feels like a real Gran Canaria beach-club day

Perchel Beach Club is in Gran Canaria, designed for relaxation first and “stuff to do” second. That matters, because a lot of beach-club experiences turn into a rush: check in, chase a sunbed, hunt down lunch, repeat. Here, your time is built around lounging—especially if you’re traveling with family or a mix of ages.

The ticket is sold as a full day pass with a flexible time window listed as roughly 3 to 8 hours, and it’s usually booked about 18 days ahead. You’ll receive a mobile ticket, so you’re not dealing with paper vouchers or last-minute printing.

Also, the opening hours (for 09/10/2025 to 06/20/2026) are Monday to Sunday, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. That’s a useful chunk of the day—long enough to do swim time, lunch time, and still have time to just… stop moving.

Entering Perchel Beach Club: what your day is built around

The vibe is leisure-forward. Expect lounge spaces, room to spread out, and plenty of opportunities to slow down without feeling like you’re in someone else’s hurry.

You’ll have access to:

• the infinity pool, known for its “merged with the ocean” look
• a solarium with hammocks for sunbathing
• a food experience with rice-focused choices

If you’re the type who likes a plan but not a schedule, this works. You arrive, settle in, and let the day unfold around the included meal.

The included comfort kit: hammock, parasol, towel

One of the smartest parts of this ticket is the included comfort setup for adults: individual hammock, parasol, and towel. That single detail changes the whole experience.

Instead of “Where do we sit?” you get “Where do we want to put ourselves?” Guests mention the hammocks are very comfortable and well placed, and that you can settle in for hours without feeling cramped.

A key family note for kids under 12

Children under 12 do not include a hammock. The rule is: adults share hammocks (one hammock per adult). So if you’re traveling with kids, plan your lounging setup early in the day so nobody feels like they’ve been left out of the best part.

Infinity pool time: the view is half the product

Let’s talk about the pool, because this is where most people’s expectations get either confirmed or crushed—and here, it sounds like it’s mostly the former.

Guests highlight:

• stunning pool setting
• a perfect water temperature
• the infinity pool effect and especially good views around sunset

Even if you’re not a hardcore swimmer, you’ll probably spend time here. The pool’s location is part of the “day by the sea” feeling, even though, as noted by at least one guest, the property itself doesn’t have a sandy beach.

Lunch that’s actually worth building around

Lunch is a real selling point. It’s not just a token sandwich. The included meal has:

• a starter choice:
  • Canary salad, or
  • Croquettes, or
  • Smoked cheese with tomato jam
• a rice choice:
  • Lord, meloso de vegetables, Iberian, Valencian, or Black of Chipirón
• dessert

That structure matters because rice dishes tend to be slower, fuller meals. You’re not eating in five minutes and running back to the pool. You’re staying put, which fits the whole concept.

What to expect about menu choices

The composition of menu options can change for alternatives of equal or greater value. So if you arrive hoping for a specific rice type, keep in mind options may vary.

Drinks are not included

Important practical point: drinks are not included in the ticket price. Some guests mention cocktails and pool food as extra items you may want later, but that will be on top of this pass.

Welcome snack drink: cava or juice

Right when you’re settling in, you get a welcome drink: cava or juice. It’s a small inclusion, but it helps the day feel complete from the start.

It also gives you an easy “first step” after check-in—no need to figure out what to order immediately.

Service, wait times, and how to make it smoother

This experience gets great overall praise for staff friendliness and attention. Guests describe staff as attentive and friendly, and one review specifically mentions a manager named Eugenio as very kind and not overly intense—just present and helpful.

That said, there’s one repeatable consideration: waiting times for waiters to reach tables/bed areas using the interactive system. The issue isn’t universal, but it’s common enough that I’d plan around it.

Practical tip

If you’re ordering lunch-related items or trying to request things from the pool area, don’t wait until you’re starving and then suddenly call at peak hunger. Hit staff early in your mealtime window, or order when you’re still relaxed rather than “in a rush panic.”

The “beach club” reality check: not a sandy beach

If you’re picturing a classic beach day with sand, towels on the shore, and beach walks, adjust expectations. One guest noted it’s too bad there isn’t a beach on-site.

What you do get instead is the club experience: pools, hammocks, loungers, and the sea view feel. So think of it as a seaside relaxation day, not a sand-and-swim beach day.

Timing: how to plan your 3 to 8 hour window

The ticket is described as about 3 to 8 hours, and the club is open 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

A good strategy:

• Arrive around late morning so you can pick your hammock spot and settle in before lunch.
• Swim first, then transition to lunch when you start craving something more than snacks.
• Leave a cushion of time after lunch so you can enjoy the pool again and catch the late-day mood some guests mention.

Also, the best value usually comes when you actually use the setup you paid for. If you arrive late and leave early, you’re paying for the comfort kit and lunch structure without enjoying the main “slow day” rhythm.

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

This is a strong fit if you:

• want a family-friendly day that’s relaxed rather than scheduled
• prefer comfort-focused beach-club lounging over “activities”
• like the idea of a nice meal included with local ingredient angles and rice dishes
• care about views and pool time more than sand

It may not be ideal if you:

• want a sandy beach setup on site
• hate any chance of waiting for staff to come to your area (the interactive system can add friction)
• expect drinks to be included (they’re not)

Price and value: $91.34 and what you get for it

At $91.34 per person, this isn’t the cheapest way to spend a sunny day on Gran Canaria. A few guests even mention it feels more expensive than other island options.

But when you break down what’s included, the price starts to make sense:

• infinity pool access
• adult hammock, parasol, towel
• lunch starter + rice main + dessert
• a welcome drink (cava or juice)
• time in a dedicated leisure setting with a strong view

If you compare it to buying separate pool access plus a proper lunch plus sun-lounger space, it often comes out closer than you might think. The “extra” cost is basically for the package convenience and the ambiance.

Still, it’s worth being honest with yourself: if you’re the kind of traveler who wants to roam free and eat wherever looks good, this may feel too structured.

Getting there and the day-of logistics

The meeting details are practical rather than complicated:

• near public transportation
• mobile ticket use
• confirmation received at booking
• service animals allowed

So you should be able to show up without too much stress. If you’re staying far from the south and don’t want a taxi bill, check local transit options ahead of time, since “near public transportation” doesn’t mean “right next to your hotel.”

Rules that can catch you off guard

These are the rules that matter most day-of:

• Food and beverages are not allowed outside the venue.
• Exceptions: baby purees and compotes are allowed.

This kind of rule is exactly where a small family misunderstanding can happen. One guest complained about not being allowed to bring small snacks for kids (like cookies, yogurt, or even a bottle of water). If you’re traveling with toddlers or kids who need small snacks on a tight schedule, plan to buy or request what the club allows, and lean on the baby food exceptions only if it fits your case.

Extra services you might want: spa and massage

Even though the ticket includes pool and lunch, guests mention extra paid options like spa services and massage. One review calls out that they paid for a great massage.

So yes, there may be paid upgrades available on site. The key is that they’re not stated as part of the included package—so treat them as add-ons you choose only if you want them.

Sunset and the mood shift toward evening

Several guests mention an especially good sunset view. That’s not surprising: seaside properties tend to glow in the evening, and the infinity pool framing makes the transition from afternoon swim to golden-hour lounging feel cinematic.

If you want that moment, don’t treat your ticket as a quick midday stop. Plan to stay into the late afternoon.

What happens if you need to cancel

Good news: cancellation is straightforward. You can cancel for a full refund if you do it at least 24 hours before the experience start time.

• Free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance
• If you cancel less than 24 hours before start time, the amount you paid is not refunded

So if weather is a big factor for you, keep an eye on the forecast and decide with enough time.

Should you book Perchel Beach Club with Lunch?

Book it if you want a comfortable, low-effort day with a real included lunch, pool time, and a lounge setup that lets you stop thinking about logistics. The combination of an infinity pool, adult hammock comfort, and rice-focused lunch is exactly why many travelers recommend it.

Skip it (or at least think twice) if you’re looking for a sandy beach experience, you’re bringing lots of outside food for kids, or you’re sensitive to any wait for staff during busy hours.

If your ideal Gran Canaria day is sun, sea views, and good food while you basically do nothing, this ticket fits the brief.
