A pool day beats most island tours. This full-day ticket turns Gran Canaria heat into an easy day by the sea with an infinity pool that visually blends into the Atlantic.

What I like most is how the place is built for doing less: hammocks, loungers, and a slow rhythm that feels more like a retreat than an outing.

I also like the lunch setup. You get a starter to choose, a rice dish in several styles, plus dessert, all with a welcome drink (cava or juice).

One thing to plan around: outside food is restricted. If you’re traveling with kids (or you just love snacks on hand), read the rules closely before you pack.

Key things to know before you go

• Infinity pool + Solarium: spend your day floating, sunning, and settling into shade when you need a break
• Lunch is a real meal: starter choice, a rice dish with multiple options, and dessert
• Hammock, parasol, towel included for adults: your lounge spot is part of the ticket value
• Welcome drink is included: cava or juice arrives with your day
• Drinks beyond the welcome are extra: plan on paying for cocktails and pool drinks separately

Perchel Beach Club: what your full-day ticket actually buys

This is a straightforward, enjoy-the-day type of ticket. You’ll choose your own pace, then spend the hours at Perchel Beach Club with access to the infinity pool and the lounge areas designed for long, hot afternoons. The day is built around comfort first, food second, and entertainment only if you feel like it.

Timing helps here. The club is open daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM during the listed season (09/10/2025 through 06/20/2026). Your visit window is flexible in practice, but most people treat it as a half-day to full-day hangout.

You get a mobile ticket, and confirmation comes when you book. It’s also near public transportation, which matters because you’ll be in and out less than you would on a bus tour.

The price is $91.34 per person, and it’s commonly booked about 18 days in advance. That tells you something important: it’s not the kind of place you want to wing on a busy week if you’re set on going.

Infinity pool and Solarium time: how to structure your day

The main event is the pool. The infinity design makes the ocean feel close, which helps on a hot day when you want water plus views without a complicated plan. Expect to spend time in the pool, then move to the Solarium hammocks for the sun-soak phase.

Here’s a simple way to use your day well:

• Start with pool time early, when the light is calmer and you’re fresh
• Midday: alternate between shade under your parasol and lounging on the hammock
• Late afternoon: return to the pool or grab a calmer spot before the evening mood

A detail I appreciate is that your adult lounge essentials are included: one individual hammock, parasol, and towel for each adult. That removes the classic “where do we sit?” stress and lets you focus on relaxing.

Also, Perchel is described as family-friendly. You’re not going to feel like you need to whisper. The music level is there, but it’s not presented as a nightlife scene—more of a soft background for a long day.

Lunch at Perchel: starters, rice choices, and dessert

Lunch is not an afterthought here. It’s built into the ticket and follows a clear structure: a starter, a rice dish you choose, and dessert.

Starter choices (pick one):

• Canary salad
• Croquettes
• Smoked cheese with tomato jam

Rice dish choices (pick one):

• Lord
• Meloso de verduras (vegetable-style meloso)
• Iberian
• Valencian
• Black of Chipirón (squid-style black rice)

Then dessert rounds out the meal.

Why this matters for you: rice-based lunches tend to work in a beach-club setting because they hold up well to a warm afternoon. You’re not stuck with a tiny plate. The portions are described as satisfying, even for people who ordered salad as a first course.

One more practical point: food choices can change if the kitchen needs alternatives of equal or greater value. So if you have your heart set on one rice style, don’t panic if the menu shifts slightly.

If you’re traveling with kids, this lunch format is also useful. It’s easier to choose something that feels familiar without building your own meal from scratch.

Welcome drink + towel service: the small perks that save time

Your ticket includes a snacks welcome drink—either cava or juice. That’s the kind of included touch that makes the day feel like it starts immediately, not after a long check-in process.

Then there’s the comfort bundle. Adults get:

• Hammock
• Parasol
• Towel

On hot days, that’s a big part of value. You don’t want to spend your time figuring out shade or renting a setup at the last minute. Here, it’s part of the deal.

Service seems to work best when you use their system, but timing can vary. Some people note that reaching waiters via the interactive ordering system can take a little longer than they expected. So if you’re the type who hates waiting, it’s smart to pace your orders and not leave everything for the same moment.

Drinks, cocktails, and the reality of paying for extras

Your welcome drink is included, but drinks are not included beyond that. That includes cocktails and poolside beverages.

In real life, that doesn’t ruin the day—but it does affect your budget. If you like to sip wine or cocktails all afternoon, plan for add-on spending. A good move is to decide early whether you want to splurge on drinks later, or keep it simple and save your money for the sunset moment and another activity on Gran Canaria.

One practical advantage: people describe drinks and food being served to the beds or lounging setup. That means you don’t have to keep walking back and forth every time you want a refresh.

No beach sand: it’s a sea-side club, not a swimming beach

The club sits by the sea, but don’t expect a sandy beach experience. If you’re picturing sand between your toes, you’ll likely be disappointed. This place is more about pool lounging than shoreline strolling.

So ask yourself one question before you book: do you want a pool day with ocean views, or do you want a beach day with beach walks and sand time?

If your answer is pool day, Perchel makes sense. If your answer is beach day, you might find the format limiting.

Price check: is $91.34 good value?

Let’s talk value like adults.

At $91.34 per person, you’re paying for more than admission. You’re also paying for:

• Infinity pool access
• Lunch (starter choice + rice dish + dessert)
• Welcome drink (cava or juice)
• Adult hammock + parasol + towel

When I see lunch included at a beach-club price point, that’s usually where the value either works or doesn’t. Here, lunch is substantial and structured, not a token sandwich. Plus, you avoid extra costs like finding shade or buying sun-lounge rentals separately.

Yes, you may spend more on drinks later. But even with that, you’re typically buying a “set” experience: one price, one comfortable setup, one main meal handled.

Is it pricier than other island options? Probably. But it also isn’t pretending to be cheap. You’re paying for convenience, comfort, and a setting that feels like a luxury day without you juggling transport plans every hour.

Who this suits best (and who should think twice)

This fits best if you want:

• a low-effort day in Gran Canaria with pool time as the center
• included lunch without hunting for a good restaurant
• adult comfort (hammock, parasol, towel) without extra rentals

It may not fit if you:

• need a true sandy beach on-site
• rely on bringing outside snacks or food (the rules can be strict)
• hate any chance of waiting for staff through an interactive ordering system

Family tip: the vibe is family-friendly, but note the rule for hammocks. For children under 12, the hammock isn’t included. The guidance says to share a hammock for each adult. That means families may want to plan how they’ll share or whether they’ll add outside seating solutions.

If you’re lucky enough to have Eugenio as part of the team, his service style is specifically praised—friendly and attentive without getting in your way.

Quick practical tips so your day runs smooth

Here are the details that help your day go from good to easy:

• Arrive closer to opening (11:00 AM) if you want the best pick of relaxed setup time.
• Expect the day to last about 3 to 8 hours, depending on how long you linger in the pool and hammock.
• Use the welcome drink timing early if you’re hungry soon after arrival.
• If you’re sensitive to waiting, avoid placing every order at once.
• Bring what the club allows, and don’t count on outside snacks.
• If you need to get around, remember you’re near public transportation, so you’re not locked into a car.

And one more mindset shift: this is a place for switching off. The best days here are the ones where you resist turning it into a busy checklist tour.

Should you book the Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch?

Book it if you want a comfort-first pool day with a real included lunch and a built-in lounge setup. The value is strongest when you’ll actually use the hammock, parasol, and towel, and when you’re happy to treat drinks as add-ons rather than part of the included package.

Think twice if you need a sandy beach, or if your day depends on bringing your own snacks—especially for young kids. The strict outside-food rules can turn a relaxing day into stress.

If you’re planning Gran Canaria around weather and want one day that feels like a reward, this is a strong choice. It’s not trying to be a tour of sights. It’s trying to be the kind of day you remember for how calm it felt.
