Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bungalows were spacious inside and well equipped. The pools, other amenities and activities offered were beyond what I expected. I did not get to have dinner here but the breakfast buffet was extraordinary and offered many options. The only thing I did not like about this hotel is having to take stairs down to cross the lobby and then back up to the bungalows and all the ground level areas. I find this a design flaw and difficult to walk in and out of the hotel, specially for senior guests. The only ground-level option was to go through the restaurant and the in-out walkthrough seemed unpleasant.

Solid choice

Good solid choice 5 mins walk from the Yumbo centre, with friendly helpful staff, clean & modern rooms, a very nice pool (heated) and lovely views. If you’re not averse to strong sun, I’d suggest asking for a high floor (quieter) on the south or west facing side of the building, as the other side gets little direct sunlight. Only downsides are the 20 min walk to the dunes and a crazy bathroom design which makes it almost impossible not to flood the floor after every shower.

Lovely place for family break

we had a lovely holiday at Sol Barbacan. Food was great, rooms are clean and have all facilities. The staff are very personable, friendly and efficient. My daughter was impressed by the chef Juanma (apologies for the misspelling) and Ada from the animation team. Everyone was super cool and we had amazing time. The hotel isnt located directly on the beach but a few minutes walk. There are lots of shops and small cafes around. Return private transfer to the airport was about £40. We had half-board and drinks are not included in the evening board but the prices are really reasonable, in all F&B outlets
