Lovely clean hotel. Only trouble is you wait for ages for a lift. Great location. Lovely views from the 11th floor. Our room was perfect for 2 adults and 1 child. Staff are lovely. Food was nice and fresh. Didn't see any of the evening entertainment as we went out each night for a walk.

I recommend this hotel 100/10. The service, rooms, and pool were absolutely amazing. The reception staff were always friendly, helpful, and smiling—they were always ready to help or give advice. The rooms were cleaned every day and were always spotless. The food was always different and, most importantly, very delicious. The hotel is close to local shops and the beach. It feels like a quiet and peaceful location, but if you walk just around the corner in the evening, a completely different nightlife begins with parties and fun. If I could, I would happily come back and stay at your hotel for the rest of my life :(( ❤️ I truly love your hotel 🙏🏻❤️ and I was very sad when I had to leave 😢😢😢

Start of with the positives, nice pools kid friendly water slides are great although busy never struggle to get a sun bed. Reception and pool area always clean. Staff generally friendly except one person at the top outdoor bar pool who refused to make us a coffee from the barista, instead pointing to the horrendous coffee machine. Which then we go onto the negatives … there are plenty! The food is generally bland and even for all inclusive level, rather below expectation. On our last night it gave 4 members of our family food poisoning. We commented this to the reception staff (older lady) who didn’t seem to care, shrugged her shoulders and said we’ve heard nothing. Reading through some other reviews…. I think not! The room is basic and requires updating badly. Damaged walls, blocked shower drains, and the air con that barely works. The lift waiting times are horrendous especially in peak times. The hotel needs improvement badly. Badly run by management and the staff who don’t really care. Shocking. Would not return here.

We just had our first time at Sol Barbados and we were quite disapointed. We had no internet for our whole holiday, the food was not so great...not to many choices for children under 2, and some dishes felt off(very hard to chew or not so fresh or tasty)....I was actually sick for the las 2 days due to the bad food...There is an open buffet between lunch and dinner and that was terrible...mostly cold food and not so fresh again, those burgers are a joke...I can better eat my slippers. We had one night when the restaurant had more choices like sea food or more tasty fish...nothing compares to the restaurants nearby which offer nice, fresh, tasty food. The programme for the pool is between 10 and 6pm but threy start closing at 5:30 pm and you feel very rushed. The staff from the pool are a bit rude and not allowing medium floaters for children. Just small ones allowed. We havent't been informed that they have evening artistic programme so we didn't go to any of their activities. For first time tourists would be nice to inform us about any artistic programme or childrens's activities. Not everybody goes around the hotel to find out what is going on. All the aldults shows are very late, around 9:45 pm and for families with small children I find this quite late. The good points, clean rooms, nice children's pools but the big one is very cold... Close to the beach and the shops. Overall we didn't feel great....so probably we will not going back to this hotel. Regards, Mirela C.

We got back from this hotel yesterday, and honestly, the food was 2/10. The fish was raw — I found it like that on two different days. Even when the meat was cooked, it was completely tasteless. The potatoes weren't fully cooked either and were still hard inside. The scrambled eggs were very runny on two mornings, had no flavor, and looked undercooked as well. The food selection was actually quite large, but what’s the point when half of it isn't cooked properly? The second major issue was the elevator. We were staying on the 4th floor with our 1-year-old child, and we often had to carry the stroller up and down the stairs. Especially in the mornings, when breakfast starts and the pools open, it's almost impossible to get an elevator. It definitely made everyday life more difficult. Of course, not everyone is very considerate either. Some people stand waiting for the elevator just to go down from the second floor, or take it from reception to the first floor... even though there are stairs right beside them. We only went to the pool area with the slides once because from 9 a.m. people are already reserving sunbeds, sitting by the gate, and waiting for it to open. But there is another pool area, and no matter what time you go there, you can usually find free sunbeds.
