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

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.

Beautiful hotel!
Sol Barbacan is lovely! The food is amazing with lots of choice and it’s within close walking distance to the Yumbo shopping centre, where you can find shops and lots of bars! The drag shows at funny boys are a must!! The receptionist was very helpful giving us information for excursions and booking us taxis. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 ladies, this was perfect for a group of friends wanting to explore the island. A little dated inside the apartment but very well equipped with a huge balcony terrace! The hotel room was cleaned daily and the general grounds of the hotel were always spotless!

Immaculate accommodation.
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.
