What our guests says about facilities

Ballena Rey Hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy and Comfortable Room

Our stay in the Apartment on the Ground Floor was fantastic! The room was cozy, spotless, and complete with a kitchenette, making it easy to prepare meals. The beds were super comfy and provided great sleep after a day of adventure. Plus, having Netflix right at our fingertips was an added bonus! We'll definitely be back!

Magical Poolside Experience

The pool at Ballena Rey was simply beautiful! It became a serene oasis where I spent hours relaxing. The ambiance at night with colorful lights reflected in the water was enchanting. I even watched hummingbirds fluttering around while swimming-such a special experience!

Delicious Breakfast Options

The breakfast at the Rancho by the pool was delicious and plentiful! It provided the perfect fuel for our day of excursions. We enjoyed every bite and loved the relaxing dining atmosphere right next to the pool. It was a good way to start the day!

Spacious and Clean Bathroom

The bathroom in our room was spacious and very clean, which I truly appreciated. The shower had fantastic water pressure and was refreshing after a day in the sun. It was equipped with everything we needed, helping us feel right at home!
