Beach

The Sol Barbados boasts a great location, just a short 3-minute walk from a beautiful sandy beach with clear water. While the hotel doesn't have direct access to the beach, it's just a 5-minute walk away. Guests rave about the location being near one of the biggest and liveliest beaches on the island, while still being far enough away for peaceful nights. The beach itself is clean and easily accessible and the hotel's location gives guests plenty of variety throughout the week. However, note that the hotel does not offer chairs on the beach. Overall, the hotel's proximity to the beach is one of its best qualities with many guests citing it as one of the few positives about the surrounding Magaluf area, which is said to lack charm and only cater to party-goers and tourists looking to window-shop.

Family

Sol Barbados is an ideal spot for families with children, providing a wealth of activities for kids to enjoy. From a kids club, water polo, water slides and bouncy castles, there is plenty to keep the younger generation occupied. The hotel's water park is particularly popular with a range of water activities, including a children's pool and water basket. The staff are friendly and accommodating, ensuring that children are safe and happy during their stay. The hotel is designed with families in mind and perfect for a family getaway. However, some guests found the hotel a bit too child-friendly with noisy children and crowded facilities, so it might not be ideal for those seeking peace and relaxation. Despite some minor issues, guests are generally very satisfied with their stay, praising the hotel's family-friendly atmosphere and excellent activities for kids.

Nightlife

If you're looking for a hotel with access to buzzing nightlife, Sol Barbados won't disappoint. Located on one of the liveliest and largest beaches on the island, you'll be able to enjoy the party vibes without the noise disturbing your sleep. The hotel is just a short walk from the center of Magaluf, where there are countless bars and clubs to choose from. Entertainment is offered at the hotel, but some guests felt it could have been better. Despite being surrounded by mass tourism, the proximity to Nikki Beach made up for it, according to one guest. Note, however, that Magaluf itself is not considered charming and is mostly for tourists looking to party and browse through tourist shops.
