First time at this hotel and would definitely go again. There were four of us in a 2 bed bungalow, we had plenty of private outdoor space, a patio area and a roof terrace. The rooms were basic but fit for purpose, the cleaners were amazing especially Pino, we left a large tip for her. The hotel is about a... More

The hotel was ok. They make you pay for WiFi, but it didn't work. We had to get our money back and used the slow internet they had in the lobby that you have to pay for. The breakfast was the same every morning. They did not clean our room everyday. Overall, I think the hotel is overrated.

Nice hotel and the apartments are very nice, restaurant in the morning are very polite, the one downside was the buffet breakfast was not allowed to run low when i asked for bacon i was told wait 15 minuted, when i did arrive it was only just cooked, otherwise it was an enjoyable stay.

We visited the Sol Barbacan over the Easter weekend and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is well located, a nice 15 min walk to the beach, quite a few shops near by, including convenience stores, restaurants and the Yumbo centre is only 5 mins away which is a nice outdoor shopping area. We had an apartment which was quite nice,... More

Unpretentious and very nice. Nice accomodations, nice area around. It's not breathtakingly nice but very nice for what you'de expect. Friendly service. The restaurant at the Hotel deserves extra attention. My girlfriend and I visit quite a lot of michelin starred restaurants - Normally they are fantastsic as one might expect. The restaurant at the Hotel could rival some with... More

We've stayed here on several occasions & always found it very good. However this time 2 things have started to irritate me. Firstly there have been 3 occasions at breakfast where I've found dirty plates, dried on food on them & I've seen another person find one with dried egg on it. I've also noticed the plates looking greasy. Secondly... More

Once again we have enjoyed the wonderful amenities that the Sol Barbacan has to offer. Having visited at least once a year for over 10 years speaks for itself. The staff at reception, bar/restaurant, animation and maids are all friendly helpful people. The rooms are spacious, clean and airy. I must mention the helpful reception greeting we always receive, this... More

Stayed in one of the apartments rather than the main building. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Nicely decorated and very well furnished. Friendly and welcoming reception staff. Buffet breakfast was a little disappointing although it was nicer to make coffee and toast in the apartment. I will probably stay here again.
