We went with 10 adults. We could check in early and receive our bands early which was a bonus. And even though check out was 12 we could stay in the hotel until 6. One room requested laye check out for 40 euro. Most of the staff were amazing. Really friendly and helpful. We only had one issue with a man an reception at night time. Very rude. The drinks were plentiful. Cocktails are premixed. Everything was clean. My only complaint is the food. We aren't fussy eaters but everyone in our group commented on it. Pizzas were always undercooked. Food was quite cold. The snacks seemed to be left overs from breakfast and lunch.

Ignore all the poor reviews! My wife's been fretting for weeks about our stay because of the bad reviews lately - from our experience they're unwarranted. Is this a 4 star hotel like that in the UK? No. Is there anything bad about this hotel? Not so far. Rooms are a big enough size, clean, semi modern. Communal areas are clean and tidy, easy enough to get your way around. Beach is a 3 minute walk away with pedalos, loungers etc for hire. Food has been amazing for every meal we've had - far more choice than any hotel we've ever stayed in before. Drink measures are insane and plenty to keep the kids going in between main meals. Staff have all been pleasant and accommodating. That's about all you need from a holiday! Ignore all the Karen's leaving poor reviews - they're the same people who would complain if you paid off their mortgage for them. If you're in any doubt - book! For what we have paid for flights and accomodation this is our best value holiday of all time.

I had read reviews about the hotel prior to going, many of them negative. This made me apprehensive about going. All I can say is, the negative reviews were totally inaccurate. My family and I had a brilliant time at Sol Barbados. We have even priced to stay next year too. 1. The hotel was really clean. Rooms cleaned daily, towels changed etc. Cleaners do a great job. 2. The food was nice. There was always sometimes to eat. My two kids enjoyed the range of foods too. Drinks were great too. 3. The hotel is busy. In the mornings there was a big queue for seats at the kids pool. There were always ample seats around the complex if you couldn’t get prime location seats at the kids pool. 4. The entertainment was excellent. The staff seem to put a lot of effort into this. It varied which was also great. 5. Pools opened to 7pm which my kids loved. 6. We requested to stay on the third floor by emailing the hotel in advance. We got a third floor room which meant we didn’t have to use the lifts. They were often busy, but that’s to be expected with such a big hotel. All in all, we had a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thanks to the staff for a great holiday.

Average hotel! Not worth the huge amount of money charged. The room had dirty stains all over the floor and furniture. The place is absolutely noisy with all the kids. The all-inclusive food is good, but I felt like the taste varied every day, and not in a positive way. The canteen is absurdly noisy. The only positive side of this hotel is the location, as it’s close to the beach, but it still doesn’t justify the price they charge in September.

The pools, the kids club,the bar with the cocktails, the cheese quality in the buffet were very good.. Unfortunately the negative things about this hotel are more than enough.. The room was not good cleaned every day. The door in the bathroom was destroyed because of the mold. The floor in the balcony was dirty and they wouldn't cleaned it as long we were there.. The food in the buffet was not good enough for the prize of the staying, many things were frozen or used the previous days. The only fresh foods was where the chefs were cooking(fish, meat) The kid's food (chicken nuggets, potato nuggets, spinat nuggets etc were fried, burned almost every time,and really cheap quality)We can buy those stuff from the market.. The juices (orange pineapple) were too sweet and bad quality too.Not drinkable.. When you stay in a huge hotel with 12 floors it is normal that the quality will not be so good but we didn't know that it was so big and full of people. Too noisy in all dinners and dinners show.. It's not our style,and we will not go back. There are plenty of hotels with good activities for kids more quiet and with better quality of food.. We have been in many and that was the worst..Sorry..
