tranquillity, relaxation and beaches are just a few reasons why you’ll love Ballenita.
Boasting oceanfront location along a beach in Santa Elena, the resort offers 2 swimming pools, an on-site tennis court, 2 á la carte restaurant, 1 buffet restaurant and 5 bars.
“Overall, a very nice place. The food buffet was pretty decent. Yes, if you want to eat at a restaurant you must make a reservation in person by waking up early that morning, but I'm sure that is to ensure commitment so as to prevent people from not showing up since spaces are limited. Both restaurants had very good dishes, but the Italian restaurant had some surprisingly VERY good dishes. Speaking Spanish is a HUGE plus. Management should work hard to include more fluent English-speaking staff. Thankfully, we traveled with a friend who spoke Spanish. So, here are my 6 suggestions to take the resort to the next level: 1) The cups for drinks are tiny and are made of the thinest, flimsiest plastic. The cups collapse a bit in your hand just by picking it up. Should be a little larger and more sturdy. (There IS sturdier disposable plastic!) 2) Some pillows were a bit too hard or too flat. Need consistent pillow sizes and fluffier. 3) The resort would greatly benefit from transitioning to a card entry system (keys that sometimes get stuck in your door are a pain). 4) Replace the large, very old weight-lifting machine in the fitness room with a rack of dumbells and several mats. NO ONE used that old, weird machine and it just takes up space. I work out every day, and it was just an eyesore. I tried to use it, but couldn't really figure it out. Get rid of it. 5) When people reserve rooms online, have a "quiet section" for those who need quiet by 9:00 pm. The nightly entertainment is TOO loud for those who aren't into it and are on vacation to relax. To accommodate both the party-people and the quiet people, have a "quiet block" area away from the entertainment. 6) Poolside servers would be great also. Otherwise a very nice resort.”
