SOL by Meliá Barbados

Great staff, great place. Family friendly but as it is two pool areas the kids weren’t too much of a bother while traveling solo adult. The only one thing that I didn’t like was all inclusive drinks-wine was not very nice, but all in all very good stay.

An honest and factual review; half board, week long trip in April; neurodiverse British family, boys aged 5 & 3. Positives •staff friendly, polite and helpful, we had several occassions of excellent service. •wonderful location, very short walk to beach/amenities. Shops opposite and bus stop around the corner. •pool facilities amazing, splash zone was great, water very cold but it's only April. Shower facilities if you've checked out. Could do with more loungers. •rooms cleaned daily if required •snack/drinks vending machine •very clean and tidy with a simple but pleasing aesthetic and decor. Negatives •not much seating in the night time area •only 2 people on the bar so long queues •could do with a park or something similar •mattress like concrete •air-con not on at this time of year (5 days at highs of 25° was very hot for us) Neutral •entertainment - didn't use much so cannot have a true opinion. What we did see was exciting and engaging and seemed to be a lot on •food - breakfast: excellent variety - everything you can think of (except hash browns!), well stocked stations; almost always a queue for egg based items at grills. evening: a themed section each evening however the remainder of the food was repetitive, mediocre and often cold. Waiting staff very efficient but a couple of times took unfinished plates. Tried all inc. for a day, the snack bar was very basic. Wide variety of drinks. Overall a fantastic hotel and trip. Would definitely return again with just B&B.

The hotel was very clean. The rooms are a good size. The food was okay. The Aircon was stuck on heat only and was told by the hotel staff that it cannot be changed. So was 20 plus in the room The shower was really poor no pressure at all.the pool open and closed at late and early 11-5 it’s great for kids the team they have there are so good

Very good for families.

I have visited Sol Barbados few years ago and it was much better in term of food and staff. Most if not all staff were rude and not easy to approach especially the bar men as well as the restaurant workers. I wanted to go again so we can have some memories back but unfortunately it wasn’t as expected
