Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Sol Barbados is often praised for its fantastic location, just a short walk (5 minutes) to the beach and very close to the strip, with a handy shop right outside the hotel for anything you might need. The breakfast gets rave reviews for its outstanding variety and delicious fresh options, and many guests find the all-inclusive option a worthwhile choice, especially for families with children, thanks to the ice cream, sweets, cakes and chocolate fountain. Some guests have pointed out that the walk to the beach involves stairs and passing near bins, which wasn't ideal for everyone. The pools are amazing, especially for children. The rooms are spacious and cleaned daily.

Acceptable Stay with Notable Drawbacks

long lift waits undercooked meat

The hotel's location is quite convenient, as several shops are just outside.

The lifts proved to be a major issue. There were long waits, especially inconvenient given our room was on a high floor and we had a pushchair (I felt trapped at times!). The food quality was disappointing, and I often found the meat either undercooked or cold.

The hotel has several pools. There is a kiddies paddling pool with animal shapes. There is also a waterworld pool with slides. Lifeguards monitor all pools daily.

The hotel is on top of a hill. This location presents challenges for those with walking difficulties. Queues for lunch were sometimes long. Waiting for the lifts could take a while.
