Sunbathing by an infinity pool beats the beach rush. This full-day ticket at Perchel Beach Club in Gran Canaria pairs the infinity pool with reserved hammocks, plus a lunch built around rice dishes. It’s the kind of day-plan where you trade sightseeing time for straight-up relaxation, sea air, and a proper table service rhythm.

One thing to know up front: drinks are not included, and outside food or beverages aren’t allowed (with limited baby-food exceptions). If you’re the type who orders cocktails all afternoon, you’ll want to budget for the extras.

Key things to know before you go

• Infinity pool with ocean views: The pool visually connects to the Atlantic, so your “pool time” comes with a real view.
• Adult hammock, parasol, and towel included: You get your own setup for the day, so you’re not hunting for shade.
• Lunch is a real meal, not a snack: You choose a starter and then pick among several rice options plus dessert.
• Welcome drink to beds: You start with a cava or juice, served as part of the day’s flow.
• Family-friendly pace: The vibe is built for adults and kids, with a note that under-12 kids don’t get a hammock included.
• Service can be slow via interactive requests: If you rely on an in-bed system for staff, plan for some waiting.

Perchel Beach Club in Gran Canaria: what kind of day this really is

Perchel Beach Club is all about one thing: staying put and enjoying it. You’re not bouncing between stops. You show up, get your hammock-and-shade base, and settle into a sea-side rhythm that mixes pool time with lunch and downtime.

For me, the standout value here is that your day isn’t just “pool access.” You’re paying for a full setup: hammocks, parasol, and a towel for adults, plus a lunch that’s structured like a proper three-course meal (starter, rice main, dessert). That matters in Gran Canaria because hot days go fast. The quicker you lock in shade and comfort, the more the day stays pleasant instead of exhausting.

The other big plus is the pool scene. The infinity pool is designed to visually merge with the Atlantic, so even before you eat, you’ve got that postcard effect working in your favor. If your idea of a good vacation includes a “do nothing” afternoon with a view, this fits.

Your full-day ticket: what you get (and what you don’t)

Here’s the practical breakdown of what the ticket includes.

Included with your admission

• Infinity pool access
• Lunch starter choice: Canary salad, croquettes, or smoked cheese with tomato jam
• Rice main choice: options like Lord (stewed-style rice), meloso de vegetables, Iberian, Valencian, or black of chipirón
• Dessert
• A hammock, parasol, and towel for each adult
• Welcome drink/snack: cava or juice

Not included

• Drinks beyond the welcome drink
• Food and beverages can’t be brought in from outside, except baby purees and compotes.

That no-outside-food rule is the kind of thing that catches families off guard. If you’re traveling with kids who like snacks, stick to the allowed baby options. Expect that regular outside snacks (even simple ones) may get refused at entry.

Also, plan how you’ll handle drink spending. Cocktails and pool-side drinks are available, but they’re extra. Some people love ordering all day; others treat the welcome drink as the only included sip and save the rest for a dinner elsewhere.

The infinity pool + hammocks setup: comfort is the whole strategy

The pool is the headline, but the hammock setup is the real reason this works as a full-day plan.

Adults get an individual hammock plus a parasol and towel. That combination is what keeps the day from turning into a scramble. You’re not searching for shade, and you’re not constantly moving chairs as the sun shifts. You can actually sink into a lounge mode and stay there.

The infinity pool matters because it changes the feel. Even when you’re not swimming, you’re still sitting in a “water + ocean” environment. That’s a big difference from a standard pool day where you stare at walls or rooftops.

The vibe is also built for group comfort. You’ll see that in the way space is handled and in the general family-friendly layout. If you’re traveling with a couple, it’s relaxing enough to feel romantic at sunset. If you’re traveling with kids, the set-up is more “stay together” than “run around all day.”

Lunch that doesn’t derail your day (rice lovers, take note)

Lunch here is one of the best parts of the ticket because it’s structured and substantial. You don’t just get a tiny plate. You choose a starter, then pick your rice dish, and finish with dessert.

Starter choices

• Canary salad
• Croquettes
• Smoked cheese with tomato jam

Then comes the rice. The ticket offers multiple styles, including vegetable rice, Iberian, Valencian, and black of chipirón (a squid ink style). That gives you options based on your appetite for seafood versus something more classic or veggie-forward.

Two practical tips:

• If you’re picky about rice texture, take your time choosing the style you prefer. Some people love the experience of ordering different rice variations; others know exactly what they like.
• Come hungry but pace yourself. A couple of diners found the portions heavy and couldn’t finish everything. If you want a light day, plan to eat slowly and don’t force dessert immediately after the main.

Also keep in mind that the menu composition can change for equivalent options. You might not see the exact same names every day, but the ticket is meant to stay in the same value tier.

Service, staff, and the system: how to make it smoother

The staff vibe is a major reason the day feels premium. People get attentive service without feeling smothered, and names like Eugenio come up with praise for being friendly and watchful in a relaxed way.

That said, there’s one operational hiccup you should factor in. There can be waiting time for staff to reach you when requests go through an interactive system. The fix is simple: don’t treat the system like fast room service. If you need something right now, signal early. If you’re flexible, you’ll probably find the pace works for a leisure day anyway.

If you’re the type who wants constant attention, you might get frustrated. If you’re the type who expects a slow, laid-back pool schedule, you’ll likely be happy.

Food rules, outside snacks, and kids: avoid common headaches

This is where you can save yourself stress.

No outside food or beverages is the rule. The exceptions are baby purees and compotes. That means:

• Skip bringing a cooler of snacks and drinks.
• If your kids need something specific, stick to what’s allowed (baby food options) and expect other snack items may be removed.

Also note the hammock rule for kids. The ticket includes a hammock for each adult. Children under 12 don’t include a hammock, with the idea that kids should share a hammock for each adult. If your family likes everyone having their own spot, you’ll want to prepare for shared lounging.

The upside is that the overall environment is family-friendly. The downside is that the “outside food” rule is strict enough that it can create friction at entry if you don’t plan.

Timing: how long you’ll actually stay (3 to 8 hours)

The ticket is listed for a range of about 3 to 8 hours, and the club operates daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM during the season noted. The good news: you can shape the day around your energy level.

A practical approach:

• If you want a shorter break from the heat, aim for late morning through early afternoon and do lunch as your anchor.
• If you want the full experience, stay until late afternoon. That’s when the vibe often feels most magical, especially around sunset.

Because the opening window is midday to evening, you don’t have to wake up too early. You can still do morning sightseeing, then transition into the pool day without feeling like you wasted half your trip.

So, is it a beach or a pool club?

It’s a pool-first setup. There’s sea proximity and ocean views, and the infinity pool gives you that coastal effect. But it’s not a classic sandy beach experience where you stroll, swim, and build sand castles all day.

If your top goal is a literal beach day with sand underfoot, this might feel like a mismatch. If your top goal is “hot day relief with a view,” then Perchel Beach Club hits the mark.

It’s also why this can be a great “south of Las Palmas” type of day plan: you’re getting the coastal feeling without the chaos that comes with public beaches.

Price and value: what you’re really paying for

At $91.34 per person, you’re not just paying for pool entry. You’re paying for:

• Hammock + parasol + towel for adults
• Welcome drink
• Lunch with starter + rice main + dessert
• Infinity pool access

When you break it down that way, the price starts to make sense, especially on a day when you’d otherwise spend money on sunbeds, food, and drinks separately.

Yes, it’s likely more expensive than a bare-bones pool day on the island. But you’re also paying for “set it and forget it” comfort: your lounge spot is included, and your meal is built in. If you’d rather not manage lunch reservations, card payments, and finding shade, the ticket value becomes easier to justify.

The catch is drinks. Since drinks aren’t included, your total day cost depends on how often you order. If you keep alcohol to a minimum after the welcome drink, you’ll feel the value more strongly. If you go hard on cocktails, budget for that add-on.

Who this suits best (and who might want something else)

This works especially well for:

• Couples who want a long, relaxed day with great pool views
• Families who like a controlled environment where everyone can stay together
• People who want lunch included with rice options and don’t want to plan a meal around the heat

It may not be the best fit if:

• You’re specifically looking for a sandy beach day
• You strongly prefer bringing your own food and drinks
• You need super-fast service without waiting time for staff requests

Should you book the Perchel Beach Club full-day ticket?

If you want a heat-proof plan in Gran Canaria that feels like a mini resort day, I think it’s a smart buy. The mix of an infinity pool, a comfortable hammock setup, and a real lunch with multiple rice dishes is exactly the kind of value that makes a hot day enjoyable instead of stressful.

Book it if you’re aiming for relaxation, ocean views, and one included meal that doesn’t force you to think. Skip it (or set expectations) if you’re expecting a true beach with sand, or if you’re trying to avoid extra spending on drinks.
