Reviews of SOL Barbacan

“Agradecimiento de todo corazón por la atención y el gran cuidado recibido esta semana que hemos estado en el hotel. Especial mención a Ricardo en la plancha del buffet cena, a las camareras Rosi y Niza además de Loli camarera de piso. Procuraremos repetir.”

“Un hotel limpio. Un servicio encantador bien ubicado. Muy recomendable siempre”

“Takk fyrir okkur. Frábær þjónusta.”

“Very nice hotel at a convenient location in Maspalomas, great staff from reception to cleaning to animation. Our bungalow was very cozy. Tennis club nearby with entry from the hotel is a nice plus”

“Hyvä hotelli. Puolihoitoon ei kuulu juomat kuin aamupalalla. Ruoka oli ihan hyvä mutta viikon aikana alkaa käymään turhan tutuksi. Enemmän olisi voinut olla pienille lapsille tekemistä. Esim altaat oli joko kahlaukseen tai liian syviä 6-vuotiaalle (matalin uima-allas 125cm). Yksi allas alue oli pelkästään aikuisille mikä oli myös ihan positiivista. Ruokaa täältä saa käytännössä vain yhdestä ravintolasta. Rauhallinen ja ihan viihtyisä hyvien yhteyksien päässä kaikesta olennaisesta.”

“Magnífico hotel . Muy cómodo , muy buena calidad en desayuno , cenas y almuerzos . Lo mejor es el personal, son extremadamente profesionales, serviciales, siempre dispuestos a ayudar , es envidiable como entienden que “su fábrica “ que es el turismo y lo cuidan . Muchas zonas de España deberían venir y tener la oportunidad de recordar de que vivimos en este país . Especial mención a Davinia y todo el equipo de recepción , no hay palabras para describir cómo buscaron soluciones ante unos inconvenientes personales. Conocíamos el hotel de otros viajes y siempre es así . De modo que estamos deseando volver pronto . (Translated by Google) A magnificent hotel. Very comfortable, with excellent quality breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The best thing about it is the staff; they are extremely professional, helpful, and always willing to assist. It's admirable how they understand that tourism is their livelihood and how they take such good care of it. Many people from different parts of Spain should come here and have the opportunity to remember that we live in this country. Special mention to Davinia and the entire reception team; words can't describe how they found solutions to our personal problems. We knew the hotel from previous trips, and it's always like this. So we're already looking forward to returning soon.”

“Gewoon doen, erg goed verzorgd”

“We stayed at the hotel from February 11th to February 18th and had a spacious double room with a terrace. The room itself was very large and comfortable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and every detail of our stay was carefully explained. The breakfast buffet was impressive, and the service staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. It was immediately noticeable how much the hospitality here differs positively from what we are used to in Germany. Everyone we encountered was polite, attentive, and genuinely kind. The hotel’s entertainment and programs were outstanding, and we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The housekeeping was excellent, and every request we had was fulfilled promptly and with care. We can only highly recommend this hotel. The combination of spacious rooms, exceptional breakfast, and outstanding service staff makes it an unforgettable experience. If you are planning a stay in Gran Canaria, this hotel is an excellent choice!”

“Wir waren vom 11. Februar bis zum 18. Februar im Hotel und hatten ein wunderschönes, geräumiges Doppelzimmer mit Terrasse. Schon bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen, und jedes Detail unseres Aufenthalts wurde uns mit großer Freundlichkeit und Professionalität erklärt – wir fühlten uns sofort willkommen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war einfach unglaublich – riesige Auswahl, liebevoll angerichtet und begleitet von einem Servicepersonal, das kaum zu übertreffen ist. Freundlichkeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Herzlichkeit der Mitarbeiter machen den Aufenthalt hier wirklich besonders. Man merkt sofort, wie positiv sich der Service von dem unterscheidet, was wir in Deutschland gewohnt sind. Das Hotel bietet zudem ein fantastisches Unterhaltungsprogramm, und wir haben jede Minute genossen. Die Zimmerreinigung war tadellos, und jeder unserer Wünsche wurde prompt und mit großer Sorgfalt erfüllt – man fühlt sich hier rundum umsorgt. Wir können dieses Hotel von ganzem Herzen empfehlen. Die Kombination aus geräumigen Zimmern, exzellentem Frühstück, herausragendem Service und einem wunderbaren Ambiente macht den Aufenthalt unvergesslich. Wer nach Gran Canaria reist, sollte dieses Hotel auf keinen Fall verpassen – wir kommen definitiv wieder!”

“best place to stay every thing fantastic”

“Hoofd slaapkamer was ruim genoeg, de 2e slaapkamer was erg krap met net genoeg loop ruimte om het bed heen. Badkamer enigzins verouderd, maar vrij netjes Fijn en prettig personeel.”

“Excelente (Translated by Google) Excellent”

“Location was great. Everything was near. 2/3 pools were warm, which was nice. Rooms were cleaned every day. Only thing that slightly bothered was the sewer smell from the toilet. Other thing was, beacause our room faced the busy road and loungebar, the noice was quite loud. But luckily, when you closed the bedroom door, you couldnt here anything. Overall expirience was really nice and could go to this hotel again.”

“Prima appartement, keukentje, woonkamer, slaapkamer. Groot terras. Heel schoon. Drie zwembaden, veel ligbedden. Loopafstand tot veel restautants en de spectaculaire zand duinen. Eldorado voor mannen, dat wel, hoewel daar hierbinnen in Barbacan weinig van is te merken.”

“Super hotel,heel vriendelijk personeel. Super vakantie gehad.”

“Top hotel met gastvrij en vriendelijk hotel”

“Zoals altijd was Sol Barbacan weer heel goed. Al het personeel is zeer betrokken en gastvrij. Het complex ziet er mooi en heel verzorgd uit. Een mooie bloeiende tuin en de accomodatie (bungalow) was ook keurig, gezellig en schoon. Het buffet, ontbijt en diner, was erg goed. Veel variatie en altijd alles vers. De bar is 's avonds gezellig. De receptie en de rest van het personeel is zeer betrokken bij alle gasten. Je voelt je er echt welkom. We komen zeker weer terug. Aanrader.”

“We spent 3 weeks in January in a two bed bungalow. Everything was fine other than the living area could get a little chilly in the evening. Breakfast was a generous buffet and the staff were polite and friendly. The place was extremely well located and very well run.”

“My family enjoyed staying at Sol Barbican. The 2-bed bungalows are great for families - a perfect combination of hotel amenities with some space and privacy for a family. Slightly odd the large bedroom has separated beds (kids room?) while the joint beds room is tiny - but I guess nice for kids to have room to play. Hotel was quiet in general compared to it's central location - almost like a secret oasis with plenty of restaurants nearby. Having putt-putt is a nice feature (carpet in serious need of replacement). Washer/dryer onsite is helpful. Island pool really was warm, while oddly the whirpool was cold. Main large pool is deep, too bad no walk-in entry for kids or it would be perfect. Reception staff was especially friendly - I shared a handful of small improvement suggestions and they were receptive. Service staff was hit/miss, most were friend but a few didn't seem unhappy - one was especially put off by my request for a pot for tea :| Nightly performers were better than expected for such a small crowd - the acrobat one evening really was entertaining! Breakfast and dinner buffets were very good for a relatively small hotel - I hope they decide to open the front courtyard in the sun for breakfast and provide tea pods. Lunch menu is unexpectedly large, even had caprese salad The low point was probably the kids club, very small room with (when we visited) a young man who clearly didn't know kids - told us none of the listed activities were actually done because "some kids might not want to do them". So when we showed up for crafts at 11am one day nothing was out. If you have activities listed - I'd suggest actually doing them to get kids involved. So as long as you don't expect an amazing kids club, definitely check out Sol Barbacan for a nice stay and great value.”
