Pool views and lunch, no fuss. Perchel Beach Club turns a hot day in Gran Canaria into a relaxed, resort-style plan, centered on the infinity pool and a served lunch.

I like the included hammock, parasol, and towel setup. It means you can actually sink into your day, not hunt for shade. I also like the lunch structure, you choose a starter, then pick from several rice dishes, with dessert.

One thing to consider before you go is the fine print on spending: drinks are not included, and you will likely pay extra if you make it a cocktail-heavy day.

Key takeaways before you book

• Infinity pool plus solarium hammocks make this a true sit-and-unwind kind of ticket.
• Lunch is a full served set (starter, one rice dish, dessert), not a grab-and-go.
• You get a welcome snack drink (cava or juice) right away, so you start the day feeling taken care of.
• Hammock, parasol, and towel are included for adults, which is rare for beach-club style tickets.
• Outside food is restricted (no food or drinks outside, except baby purees and compotes).
• Service can take longer at peak times, especially if you use the interactive system to request staff.

Perchel Beach Club at a glance: what this ticket really buys

This is a full day ticket for Perchel Beach Club, a seaside club experience in Gran Canaria. The idea is simple: arrive when the doors open, claim your comfort setup, then spend hours by the pool with a proper lunch served to you.

At $91.34 per person, it is not the cheapest way to spend a day on the island. But you do get real value baked in. The ticket includes pool access, plus your comfort kit for adults, including a hammock, parasol, and towel. Lunch is also included as a structured meal, with options you choose and a dessert.

Reviews also point to a big part of the appeal: the setting. People talk about the infinity pool, the comfortable hammocks, and the feeling of a luxury pause, especially around sunset. That said, it is still a club. One reviewer noted there is not a traditional beach with sand right at the property, even if the name includes beach club. So go for the pool and the vibe, not for a shoreline picnic.

Your day plan, from open to wind-down

You do not need to babysit an itinerary here. This ticket is built around a single stop at Perchel Beach Club, and you can typically spend about 3 to 8 hours on-site.

The club runs daily during the listed season, with opening hours from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM (Monday to Sunday). If you want the most relaxed flow, plan to arrive closer to opening. That way you get daylight pool time before lunch, then more lounge time after.

Here is a practical rhythm that fits what is included:

• Arrive and claim your spot in the solarium area with your hammock and parasol.
• Settle into pool time. The main draw is the infinity pool and the view connection to the Atlantic.
• Go to lunch when you are hungry, not rushed. You will have a served starter first, then choose your rice dish, and dessert follows.
• Return to the loungers after. The included setup is designed for long stays, so do not treat it like a quick stop.

Also note the ticket is a mobile ticket. That matters because it keeps your day simple. You do not need to chase paper vouchers at the last moment.

The infinity pool and solarium setup: comfort is the whole game

The infinity pool is the headline. The club is designed so the pool view visually stretches toward the ocean, which is exactly what you want on a hot day. In plain terms, it makes lounging feel like something bigger than a regular pool.

What really boosts the value is the included comfort package. For adults, you get:

• Individual hammock
• Parasol
• Towel

That is a big deal at beach-club style places. Shade and a proper place to sit usually cost extra, or you end up compromising. Here, the ticket helps you avoid that common trap.

The solarium area is where the hammocks are, so if you are traveling with someone who likes to lounge rather than constantly swim, you are set up for that from the start.

One small caution from real-world experiences: service around loungers can depend on timing. People report waiting for staff to reach you using the interactive system. That does not ruin the day, but it does mean you should build in patience at busy times. If you want a smooth experience, try to ask for what you need earlier in the day, rather than at the busiest lunch rush.

Lunch at Perchel Beach Club: starter, rice choice, dessert

Lunch is included and it is served as a meal with choices. You start by choosing a starter, then you pick one rice dish, then dessert arrives.

Starter choices

You can choose one starter from:

• Canary salad
• Croquettes
• Smoked cheese with tomato jam

Rice dish choices

Then choose one:

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

The rice selection is a strong match for the setting. Rice dishes feel like the right kind of comfort food for a long sun day, not something that gets you tired or heavy.

Dessert

Dessert is included as part of the set.

One more practical tip: you may want to go a little lighter before lunch, especially if you have been in the sun. Lunch is included and can be satisfying, so you will enjoy the afternoon more if you do not overdo snacks beforehand.

Snacks and the welcome drink: a small perk that helps

You get a welcome snack drink, either cava or juice. It is not huge, but it is exactly the kind of perk that changes the start of the day. You do not arrive, sit down, and immediately think, now what?

If you want a calm start, take the welcome drink, then settle into your hammock while you orient yourself around the pool.

Drinks and cocktails: budget for extras if you want the full feel

Here is the big practical point: drinks are not included. That means water, alcohol, and cocktails typically cost extra.

The upside is that this lets you control your spending. You can keep it simple with juice and water, or you can treat this as a full indulgence day.

Reviews mention cocktails and pool food, and some people say the drinks service goes right to the beds. Still, since drinks are separate, it helps to decide your approach before you order. If you are watching your budget, ask for the drink prices early. If you want to splurge, plan for that on top of the ticket.

Family day planning: what kids can expect, and the hammock rule

This is promoted as a place designed for the whole family, and the vibe in reviews often points to a comfortable, not-stuffy atmosphere.

But there is an important rule: children under 12 do not include the hammock. The policy says share a hammock for each adult. So if you are bringing kids who need their own seat and shade, plan ahead. You might need to coordinate who shares the hammock, and when.

Also pay attention to the outside food rule for families. Food and beverages are not allowed outside. The only exceptions listed are baby purees and compotes. One reviewer complained about not being allowed to bring small items like cookies or yogurt for young children. That is not something you should rely on as a loophole. If you are traveling with very young kids, stick to the allowed items and consider bringing baby food that fits the exception.

One more family note from the atmosphere side: some people mentioned music volume. If your family prefers quiet, try to choose your spot and be aware that pool clubs can get louder around peak times.

Location and practical access: plan around the open hours

You will find Perchel Beach Club near public transportation, which helps if you are staying in Las Palmas area or heading to the south of the island. The listing also notes the ticket is mobile, which usually pairs well with simple check-in.

Because the operating hours are 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, timing matters. If you arrive late, you still can have a good day, but you lose some of the long lounging window that makes this ticket worth it.

If you want the sunset feel people rave about, aim to stay through the evening. Even if you do not make it a late night, staying until late afternoon turns the day from just hot and sunny into something more memorable.

Value check: is $91.34 worth it for a long pool day

Let’s talk value in a grounded way. This ticket includes:

• Infinity pool access
• A served lunch with starter choice, rice choice, and dessert
• Hammock, parasol, and towel for each adult
• A welcome drink (cava or juice)
• Most people can participate (so it is not limited to a narrow niche)

When you price it out like that, the ticket starts to make more sense. At many beach-club style places, loungers and shade are extra, and lunch ends up being your biggest uncontrolled spend. Here, the lunch structure is already in place, and your comfort setup is included for adults.

The trade-off is that this is not a low-cost day. If you ignore the included lunch and just start buying extra food and drinks, the total will climb fast.

Also consider that you do not have to use the day as a nonstop activity plan. The value is in settling. If your idea of a good vacation day is moving every hour, this ticket may feel more expensive. If your idea is a calm pool afternoon with shade and a real meal, it is easier to justify.

Things that can slow you down (and how to handle them)

No place is perfect, and a couple real-world issues show up in experiences. The most repeated practical snag is waiting times for staff to reach you using the interactive system.

Here is how to handle it without ruining the mood:

• Use the system to request things early, not at the exact moment you are starving or thirsty.
• Keep your basic needs close to your hammock so you are not constantly calling staff for small stuff.
• If you are traveling with a group, assign one person to handle ordering, so you do not create multiple requests at once.

Also, confirm what is allowed and what is not before you go, especially if you are bringing anything for kids. Outside food and drinks are restricted, with only baby purees and compotes allowed.

Should you book Perchel Beach Club full day with lunch?

Book this if you want a set-up-and-relax day: infinity pool time, a real lunch with choices, and an included hammock plus towel for adults. It is especially attractive if you are traveling with family and you want a comfortable place to hang out without constant planning.

Skip it or rethink it if you are trying to keep costs low, or if you are expecting a traditional sandy beach right on-site. Since drinks are not included, your final spend depends a lot on how you order.

My call: if you plan to spend most of the day in loungers and treat lunch as the anchor, this ticket feels like a fair value for a luxe-style pool day in Gran Canaria. If you want a spontaneous day with lots of outside snacks and drinks, read the rules carefully first and be ready for add-on costs.
