    Fantastic 11 night stay at the Sol Barbacan!

    rating28 May 2026

    Fantastic stay at Sol Barbacan, 11 nights half board in a 2 bed bungalow.We could not fault this hotel, from arrival to departure it was a wonderful experience.ALL the staff were extremely helpful, hard working and always smiling which shows that the management team are looking after their staff and providing a happy environment to work in.The holiday can be as hectic or quiet as you like, with plenty of poolside and evening entertainment, (the entertainment tribe were brilliant) or you can just relax in your bungalow on the patio or sun terrace.Excellent selection of food for breakfast and evening meal with tastes for all ages.We have no negatives on the Sol Barbacan you really must try it, you won't be disappointed.We enjoyed our holiday so much that we intend to return in May 2027.

    Fantastic

    rating26 Apr 2026

    We have just returned and what an amazing hotel. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. We went half board and the food was delicious and so much choice . We’ve never had such a delicious breakfast buffet. Dinner in the evenings was delicious too with so much variety. You could pay extra and have A La Carte. We had one of the apartment rooms with a balcony and two sun beds and it was so clean. We would definitely recommend Melia hotels.

    Outstanding!!

    rating26 Apr 2026

    We stayed at the Sol Barbacan for 7 nights at Easter, when we arrived we were quickly registered and off we went. We had booked a 2 bed bungalow with breakfast.We arrived at the bungalow, very clean and spacious, one room had an en-suite and the other had a king size bed and separate bathroom. There was a temperate drying area outside for wet clothes and a terrace and a roof terrace. We have been to many places and I have to say the Sol Barbacan was pretty faultless. It was lovely and quiet around the grounds and outside the apartment. The pool we used near the padel courts opened at 10am, no need to rush to put towels down as even by mid day there were still some left. Life guard by the pool all the and the pool was heated which was amazing for our daughter and us. What was great is there was activities on during the day, French boules, bingo, darts, magic carpet in the pool, cocktail making. Honestly I can’t raise the place enough as we all got involved, if you wanted to! There was no pushy staff making you do these things but it really made the family holiday. I would like to sincerely thank Max, day in day out his very friendly attitude and fun really made each day great he always went over and above and was fun to be around. Kane and Carlos were also great and really got us involved. Throughout the whole accommodation the staff were exceptional, very polite and the cleaning of the room was outstanding. There was an excellent choice at breakfast, again we couldn’t fault this!Overall I would give the Sol Barbacan 10/10, we will definitely be returning but we hope we can book exactly the same bungalow next time as it was perfect.Thanks for such an amazing holiday!!! Hotel Manager, Owner at Sol Barbacan Hotel, responded to this review Dear Zidane76,Thank you for this great feedback.We are thrilled you enjoyed such a memorable stay with us.It’s fantastic that the bungalow met your expectations and provided comfort for your family. Our team takes pride in ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, so hearing how Max, Kane, and Carlos enhanced your holiday truly warms our hearts. We’re equally delighted you made use of the heated pool and diverse activities, which aim to create special moments without any pressure.The dedication of our staff to maintain high standards, from housekeeping to breakfast service, is something we value deeply. Your kind words motivate us to continue delivering heartfelt hospitality.It would be a pleasure to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards,Pedro Castro, General Manager

    An excellent choice!

    rating15 Apr 2026

    We have just returned from a wonderful week away on a family holiday with our little girl. It was her first trip abroad, and I’m so pleased we chose the Sol Barbacan.While Playa del Inglés itself wouldn’t be somewhere I’d choose to return to, this review is focused on the hotel rather than the resort. We spent a great deal of our time enjoying the hotel and its pool areas, and on the occasions we ventured out, we used taxis or a hire car to explore other places nearby.There are many reasons why the Sol Barbacan stands out as such an excellent place to stay:The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling intrusive. A special mention must go to Nira (apologies if I’ve misspelt her name), who runs the mini club and mini disco. Our daughter absolutely adored her. She goes above and beyond to ensure the children are happy and engaged, and her energy is truly infectious. Thank you so much!The atmosphere throughout the hotel is calm and relaxing rather than loud or chaotic. With three main pool areas, there’s something to suit everyone—whether you prefer complete tranquillity in the adults-only pool, a more balanced setting near the restaurant, or a livelier environment in the third pool, with splash pool, and baby pool with music and activities throughout the day.The rooms are spotless, generously sized, and very comfortable. We slept well (despite being in a 2 bedroom apartment over the bar area), and the beds were particularly cosy.The evening entertainment offers a nice variety, with some nights being more laid-back and others a bit more upbeat.The half-board evening buffet is amazing, offering a wide selection of delicious, high-quality dishes that are both plentiful and tasty. Breakfast is great too, with an extensive choice of options and consistently good quality food.Thank you for such a lovely holiday. Hotel Manager, Owner at Sol Barbacan Hotel, responded to this review Dear T2875KMnicolap,We appreciate your kind review.We are delighted that you had such a memorable stay with us. Your kind words about our team, especially Naira who brings so much joy to our younger guests, mean a great deal.It’s wonderful to know you found the pool areas to suit every mood and appreciated the comfort of your apartment during your restful nights. We also value your praise for our varied evening entertainment and the quality of meals throughout your stay.Finally, thank you for highlighting the calm atmosphere we strive to maintain, it’s always rewarding to hear families leave feeling truly relaxed.We all look forward to seeing you again in the future.Best regards,Pedro Castro, General Manager
