Not really worth the money

It’s fine. Staff are ok not over friendly but not rude . Food was ok too, fresh but very repetitive. Rooms are good , small but cleaned everyday. Entertainment at night was abysmal , put in some music and blow up a few small bouncy castles and let kids run wild . Nothing really for bigger kids . Cocktails are awful but slushies for the kids are great . Pools are good too, always got a bed . Slide pool is brilliant. 3 lifts for 12 floors with over 20 rooms on each floor , yeah that can be a bit annoying . Magaluf itself isn’t the nicest on the eye to put it nicely but the hotel can’t do anything about that.

Loved it

Just got back for a 1 week stay here with partner and 1 year old and we loved it and already looking to book up again next year! The location is good. A short walk to the beach. It is uphill on the walk back from the beach but we found it ok to do with a buggy multiple times a day. We had a family room with solarium which was perfect for our baby and on floor 1 so we rarely used the lifts. Never had a problem with food choices, always something for all of us to have. It’s what you expect from an all inclusive. Drinks were good, frozen passion fruit daiquiri was the best! All of the staff were friendly and made an effort to wave or talk to our baby, especially the entertainment staff - they were amazing! From my time staying here I don’t have anything negative to say about this place.

Better than anticipated

When getting ready for the trip to Sol Barbados, we spent a lot of time reading comments about it here. And, to put it mildly, we were not super enthusiastic. This forced us to set the expectations bar pretty low. However, I'm happy to say that we were proven wrong and were pleasantly surprised. Queues. ------------- First of all, the most terrifying thing - the queues. Let's start with the elevator. Yes, this might be a real problem: 3 elevators are simply not enough for about 500 guests. However, partially the problem with the elevators is created by the guests as well: unattended kids press all the buttons at the same time (unnecessarily delaying the elevators), people call for the elevator from 1st floor and then abandon it, etc. If you come during a high season when the whole hotel is booked and it's super hot, this might be very frustrating. And those "times" usually correlate with meal time. Now on to the queues at the restaurant. These can be impressively long if one comes at the wrong time. Again, the problem is that the restaurant is simply not suitable to host all 500 guests coming at the same time. We solved both of the issues simply by coming to the restaurant's opening time for the meals. This guaranteed we were seated right away, there were not that many people queuing for the elevator, and the flow, in general, was pretty smooth for us. A couple of times, we still had to stand in line to be sited at the restaurant, and, of course, we had to wait for the elevator. But, being on vacation, it didn't feel like a problem at all to us. Simply try to come for the opening time of the restaurant if possible, and you will avoid most of the mess. Rooms ----------- We stayed on the top 12th floor in an "Xtra Room" with a sea view. The views were stunning! Worth the extra costs. However, it was not the view only - we read that the standard double rooms charge for towels and the safe box. These were included in the Xtra room's rate so we had no problem with these - storing the valuable belongings was free, and we could change the towels as often as we needed. All in all, we were absolutely happy with the room choice. Also, there were light drinks and water in the fridge on arrival, which was very welcome. However, the rooms are not as posh as one would want, of course. We also had an issue with the cleaning service not making up the room for some days at the beginning of our stay, so we had to go to the cleaning trolley they come around with and change the linens ourselves as those were not clean at the time we moved into the room (they were washed properly but were not clean as in they still had some spots). After several days though, the cleaning improved significantly, and we had no issues with it. Food -------- We prepared ourselves for really bad food by reading the comments here. But that was not needed :) The food had huge variations. I think one should be super picky about the food or have some allergy-related issues to not find anything during every meal served. We were happy with the selection, both for adults and for kids. All the proper food was cooked well with a little salt (to give guests options to either stay low on salt or add as much as they like). A lot of veggies and greens, a selection of cheese, and local sausages. The only complain that could be made regarding food is about the burgers and boiled sausages. Those looked pretty bad. But I think that's done on purpose to stimulate people to drop junk food while on vacation in Spain, with so much food better than that. All in all, we had absolutely no complaints about the selection or quality of food during our 2-weeks stay. Staff -------- We read about staff being not friendly rude and so on. Was not our experience at all. People at the reception were professional and helpful. Some might want more smiles from them but think about working the whole day in the heat answering tons of questions, helping people and still not yelling at all these people in the trousers passing by complaining about the lack of smile. That's frustrating. In our experience, we got all the help we needed: got the taxi booked a couple of times and received several packages from Amazon delivered to the reception (we also got a phone call from the reception reminding us that the package was waiting for us ). We also got the key upgraded to get access to the bicycle room to be able to store the stand-up paddle there instead of getting it to the 12th floor or deflating/inflating it every day. Super handy and very much appreciated! The staff at the restaurant deserves a separate appreciation. Despite people on vacation behaving oddly quite often (we've all seen those people running to the food, taking huge plates of food and losing half of it on the way to a table, etc.), people working at the restaurant and orchestrating the whole mess were fantastic. Making food, cleaning up the tables, managing and sitting the guests, everything was done professionally and as fast as the situation allowed. We even thanked them separately on the last day of our stay. All in all, I don't know whether we will be back to the hotel or not but the credit should be given where it's due - the stay of our family was very good at Sol Barbados following some simple things: - order Xtra room: you get towels, safe box, drinks in the fridge in addition to the much better views (Xtra sea view is very recommended) - do show up at the beginning of the meal times - appreciate people working and helping others while you take it easy and enjoy your vacation
