The apartment itself is nicely furnished and has a decent layout. But it all comes down to the location you get within the complex. My front door was just above the Restaurant El Portalon which made my apartment super noisy. Even being on the third floor didn't help as they have live music every night. During the live music show you can't really use the apartment - it's just way too LOUD! Having a chat with your friends is already a challenge, making a phone call or watching TV is literally impossible. The music they play after the live show is also pretty loud and at some nights they didn't turn it down before 2 am. I wouldn't book at this hotel again unless I'm sure I'll be out having dinner & drinks every night of my stay. Although the apartment itself is really nice, the chances of getting a room on the wrong side of the building are just too much of a risk.

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.

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

Absolutely the best place to stay. The bungalows are large, private and full of amenities. The best of all was the staff!!!

Very friendly people at the reception. The cleaning crew as well. They followed our requests and brought us everything we needed. We lived right above the lounge bar area and it was very loud late at night and since we had a baby with us that was a bit annoying. Also the elevator system was a bit weird. You had to take the elevator down to the lobby in the basement then walk up a long ramp to get out of the hotel on the ground floor. But all and all it was a very nice hotel with great service.

Good clean, confortable bungalow with private sun bathing roof and terrace. Good 25 metre swimming pool and additional 2 pools, one adult only. Gymnasium a bit basic but better than none. Food in restaurant of good standard. Close to jumbo centre and bars but 20 minute walk to beach. Good relaxing stay.

Apartments are of a good size with everything you need but could do with updating. All staff we saw were friendly.

Stunning apartments, close enough to the beach. Staff were mostly approachable and we had no real issues at all during our stay - which is strange as I like to moan. The apartment was spotless (with the option of daily room service if you wanted it). The pools were lovely and also very clean. Prices at the bar/s were quite steep. Local buses only run to the zoo etc until mid-day (which we wish someone would have told us!) however, taxis aren't very expensive and once you get a few miles out, the rocky mountain views are really something. Don't settled for the first shops you see if you're looking to stock up your kitchen. There are a few streets and a mall of shops for locals about a mile away (head towards the lidl and it's up a side-street before that), these didn't come up as suggestions on google, so be aware she lies! The local shops toward the lidl have more options for clothes and hats, socks, household things and food like fresh steak or veg. Gutted we didn't investigate this area until we were leaving! The Yumba center etc are OK for a wander but the stuff is over-priced and they see you coming if you look pale and a bit disorientated (Scottish). The whole area is very LGBT friendly, so we highly recommend this hotel and the general area for LGBT couples and families, looking for a friendly place without comments or stares. There's a classic amusement arcade about a mile or so away (a nice walk) rides, lots of pool tables, a pub cafes etc.

We had the top floor 2 beds apartment with great view just like the picture shown. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Only one thing we were not happy was the mattress. Too hard not comfy. We told the staff and they added an extra layer on top immediately. Overall, good and would like to go back again.

We have just come back from our stay at Sol Barbican and I can’t really say too much against it! We stayed in one of the family bungalows which were very clean and spacious. My only negative about the bungalows was that the kitchen was very basic and lacked serving bowls when cooking for a family of four and the sofas were not very comfy either however apart from that, the maids cleaned every day (if you wish); towels were provided for the pool which is another bonus and generally a great hotel which I would definitely stay at again. The location to the beach was good; a 20 min walk where lots of other restaurants were too. The weather was great too! A great holiday!
