A family-friendly beachfront resort of 94 rooms on Playa Las Ballenas, with Signature Villas, Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites among the choices. Two pools, a four-room spa, a gym and a Kids Club cover recreation, and rates are available room-only or breakfast-inclusive.
The pace is relaxed and beach-centered, with service, food and cocktails receiving consistent attention across the restaurants and bars. Accommodations run large and modern, which suits longer stays and families spreading out. The trade-off is maintenance, which can be uneven across a property of this size, so set expectations accordingly when comparing rates.
Rates are offered as room-only or breakfast-inclusive, with breakfast included on the breakfast-inclusive option. Facilities such as the two pools, the gym, the Kids Club and the spa are available on site; the spa operates with four treatment rooms as a property service rather than a rate inclusion.
The property has 94 rooms. Named categories include the Deluxe Room and the Junior Suite, and the Signature Villas are the resort’s signature accommodation experience. This mix of rooms, suites and villas covers a range of party sizes and stay styles.
Accommodation choices include the Deluxe Room and the Junior Suite. The Signature Villas round out the inventory as the property’s signature experience. With 94 rooms in total, the resort spans standard rooms and larger formats, so compare categories directly when booking rather than assuming one layout fits all.
The Junior Suite is the named suite category, and the Signature Villas represent the resort’s signature experience at the top of the accommodation range. Both sit within the 94-room inventory alongside the Deluxe Room. Category names should be treated as labels; confirm the specific configuration that matches your party when booking.
Four restaurants and two bars cover dining, with Donoma by the Sea among them. Recreation includes two pools, a spa with four treatment rooms, a gym near one of the quieter pool areas, and a Kids Club, all steps from Playa Las Ballenas.
Dining spans four restaurants, including Donoma by the Sea, and two bars, Splash Bar and Sunset Bar. Breakfast-inclusive rates place the morning meal on site, and the breadth of outlets means lunch, dinner and evening drinks can all be handled without leaving the property. Gastronomy and cocktails are areas the resort takes seriously.
Two pools give the grounds their recreational core, one of them a quieter zone with the gym nearby. The spa operates four treatment rooms for massages and treatments booked as property services. A Kids Club covers younger travelers, and direct access to Playa Las Ballenas puts the beach within a short walk of the rooms.
