This was my 1st time of staying in Playa Del Ingles for the Gay Pride festival so i was a bit worried about its close location to the Yumbo center. I needed have worried thou! The hotel is in a perfect location, just far enough away so that you don't hear any noise but close enough that it takes just... More

Just back from a week in this hotel. It was very well located, very clean and staff were excellent. The rooms were very well equipped and the air conditioning made a hell of a difference in a bad week! Food was okay in the bar but Mabye overpriced. Otherwise great hotel great staff!

This hotel ticks most of the box's, but not if you want to mix with British people not many use this hotel, also TV only has one English channel BBC world news. I asked if I could watch the FA cup final anywhere in the hotel, was informed by reception not possible no channel available. Hotel entertainment ends at 10.30pm,... More

Appalling hotel, generally unhelpful staff, couldn't have a quiet drink at the bar by the pool in the evening, had to have it in "the chill out bar" which is outside the hotel on the street. The hotel is out of the way near "yumbo" which if you are gay is fine if not....... the area the hotel is in... More

We are just back for P.I., staying in the Sol Barbacan in a two bedroomed bungalow. We were a family of 4adults and one child. The bungalow was really fabulous, it was spacious and of a very high standard. They are very well designed, giving you the feel that you were in a detached villa as you are not overlooked... More

We've stayed in a few places in Playa Del Ingles and this is by far the best so far. Apartments were spacious and stylish, balconies were huge with sun loungers and lovely views, maid service was awesome (thank you Olga!). We stayed half board - breakfast was consistently good but dinner was a bit dodgy... ranged from excellent dishes (whole... More

I am reviewing the apartments at the Sol Barbacan rather than the Hotel rooms which we didn't see so can't comment. We stayed in a 2 bedroom bungalow, there were 5 of us so the hotel had moved an extra bed into one of the rooms as there was plenty of room. Apartments are really well designed, clean and have...

Apartments were large, clean and well equipped with a huge balcony, we stayed on the top floor, but we still had to sleep with the windows shut, the road noise never stops. The hotel itself was very quiet and peaceful despite being in school holidays. To walk to the beach takes about 10 minutes. There are some excellent restaurants, we... More

This hotel is in a great location for the yumbo centrum! The hotel balconies do face other balconies hence not an excellent rating. However the rooms are a lovely size and the cleaning was of a high standard. The cleaners came daily. I dont think that is always necessary but you can't please everyone. The front desk were pleasent and... More

Mixed feelings- Highs, nice room, great location, 3 euros to beach, Lows - pool not that big, photo misleading, front desk quite rude, stupid rules regarding beach/pool towels, small balcony, but lack of atmosphere in the place, no nightlife in hotel, poor entertainment, cocktail bar dead. Finally, like i say good location, breakfast area is far too small, as is... More
