Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Sol Barbacan from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Sol Barbacan is generally considered a great hotel with spotless rooms, pools, and gardens. Guests appreciate the brilliant and inexpensive restaurant, especially at lunch. The location is good, with the front beach area a 20-minute walk away and the Yumbo nearby; some found the noise from the nightly entertainment loud. Those staying in the Xtra Faro view room on the 5th floor enjoy exceptional views, wine and snacks on arrival, a free mini bar, and personal maid service; half-board options offer very good food selections for everyone's taste.
