If your family vacation checklist includes "great food," "wallet-friendly prices," and "activities that don't involve staring at a screen," then heave ho! Club Tarraya, in Telchac Puerto, is the treasure you've been looking for. This isn't your average beach club—in fact, it's not even on the beach—but trust us, you won't miss the sand in your swimsuit when you see what the this crew has cooked up.
After a temporary hiatus, this Telchac gem, originally established in 2015, has re-opened its doors to welcome back families looking for genuine connection and value.
A Swashbuckling Good Time for All Ages
The heart of the club is its charismatic owner, Gabriel Ancona, who brings his kind-hearted pirate character, Capitán Tarraya, a Kind-Hearted Pirate, to life. On weekends, the Captain and his entertainment crew take over, ensuring there's never a dull moment. For example, on Sundays, everyone—yes, even the grown-up pirates—who joins in the family activities gets a complimentary soft-serve ice cream. It’s the kind of wholesome, silly fun that makes for truly unforgettable family memories.
Pirate Amenities (No Planking Required)
Club Tarraya is designed with families in mind, and they’ve got the amenities to prove it:
- The Best Fish in the Seven Seas (and Telchac!): The outstanding seafood dishes served at their restaurant, Capitán Tarraya, are prepared fresh daily. Forget that tiny menu you’ve tasted everywhere else; the culinary crew here means business.
- Kid-Friendly Fun: From a great playground to competitive foosball tables, the kids will be busy while you relax.
- Families overboard? A sparkling pool with a water curtain for the whole crew, plus a separate wading pool for the littlest buccaneers.
- Sandy Soccer Field: Get those competitive juices flowing! A full-sized, compacted sand field is ready for an impromptu family match.
- Feed the fishes, literally: A beautiful, tranquil pond, guarded by local aluxes, surrounds the property—the Captain’s crew even provide complimentary food so children can safely feed the fish. It’s a moment of zen in a day of play!
Shiver Me Timbers, What Unbeatable Value!
Let’s be honest, family outings can sink your budget faster than a rogue wave. Not at Club Tarraya. Their restaurant, Capitán Tarraya, is relentlessly value-oriented, offering very reasonable prices on all their excellent food. You can feed the whole crew without walking the financial plank!
Don’t miss out on specialties like their shrimp aguachile (which has a touch of heat, but not so spicy that it can’t be enjoyed by the whole family), their ajillo (garlic/pepper) shrimp pasta, or even their shrimp burger, with your choice of sauce. However, be advised that here, even “everyday” dishes like the breaded fish or your favorite seafood cocktail have a unique touch that only the Captain can give them.
When it comes to drinks, in addition to traditional cocktails, they have their very own signature mixology menu. And for the little ones, the designated drivers and the health-conscious landlubbers? Their selection of outstanding mocktails is pure gold. Creative, refreshing, and delicious—you won't even miss the rum (most of the time).
The best part is the Club boasts very, very ample seating capacity both indoors and around the pools, so you'll always find a comfortable spot for everyone in your party to dock for lunch.
Club Tarraya offers much more than just a restaurant or a club; it’s an environment built for families to grow closer, laugh louder, and eat well. So ditch the stress, grab the kids and everyone’s swimsuits, and come discover a new side to Telchac Puerto.
