I have stayed at the Sol Barbacan for a 3 weeks stay for the last 5 years. It is the only 4 star aparthotel on Gran Canaria and deserves the award. Earlier comments about lack of fluency in the English language from Reception staff are totally out of order from my... more

This accommodation is perfect if you are wanting away to relax but at the same time be near the shops, bars etc The hotel was clean and the apartments were spacious with great big balconies with sunbeds. The staff were friendly and helpful. Although we didn’t eat in the... more

Amazing, what can I say? Apartments were the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Room was cleaned every day we were there, with fresh bed linen and towels. Also provided beach towels which you were able to change daily at reception. Room was also very big and plenty of... more

Although located on the edge of Playa del Ingles with all its bustle, Sol Barbacan was an oasis of calm. Well run and comfortable it has a good range of facilities - you can choose between busy and quiet pools. I was struck by the cleanliness of the place - only 3* in the... more

Got transferred to this resort on our second night due to Green Park being "the pits". In every respect this is a four star complex. Place is spotless, staff friendly and helpful. Rooms themselves were top notch. I can't pick one single bad point about this establishment.... more

If you are deciding to go to Playa Del Ingles in the Canary Islands, the Barbacan Hotel and Apartments is a haven if you have young kids. The most important part about this place was that I felt safe. It has that fantastic feeling. You and your children will pick up on this... more

Fantastic stay - don't let the mad 'sunbed' dash put you off - see below!
My boyfriend and I booked here based on other reviews and to be honest, we were not disappointed! Apartments are spacious, absolutely spotless (cleaned every day!) and the bathrooms are modern with a fantastic power shower (great for getting rid of all that sand!) Like others who have left reviews we had only one cockroach the entire holiday which my other half was unable to catch so could still be lurking under the shower drain for all we know! - The maids leave the sink and shower drains closed once they have cleaned them so would... more
All dutched out!
I have just returned from the Sol Barbacan Hotel in Las Palmas and while overall I would have to say that its a lovely place to stay for cleanliness, friendly staff, layout etc., I have one complaint - I don't like a race against the Dutch every morning for sunbeds. It was some spectacle to say the least. The complex doesn't allow towels to be put down before 9am but people start gathering circa 8.15 and "mark their territory" by throwing their towels down behind the beds, sitting around for nearly forty five minutes before the signal for... more
V. Nice Hotel!
Me and my boyfriend have just returned from our week stay at the Sol Barbacan. We were VERY impressed with the room, in fact the whole hotel was nice. Maids come in every single day to change towels and give floors a good clean. Room was well equipped with aircon (which you can adjust youself), microwave, hobs, fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster, coffee maker. A couple of things to remember- aircon only works when the patio door is properly shut and your room card is in the electricty slot by the door. We thought ours didn't work at... more
Quality as ever
Just got back from our 3rd stay at the Barbacan everything great as ever, breakfast, rooms, staff all first rate, the only thing as the another review noted is there seemed to be more noise in the mornings which is annoying after a late night. Wont stop us from returning though! more
Very good - but a bit noisy
We booked here based on the previous reviews, and were happy overall with the stay. The "apartment" was spacious, clean, and had a well equipped kitchen and stylish bathroom. The only caveat (for us) was the noise from traffic, rooms above, and the pool area first thing in the morning. I guess we did tend to stay out late though, so could be particularly sensitive during our attempted lie-in! It's probably useful to note that a car park is available if you're renting a car, and a key for the entry barrier can be obtained on paying... more

Best Accomadation in Playa Del Ingles
Senor Prada and his staff run the best hotel we've had the pleasure of staying in. (Galway city, Ireland)
GREAT
Stayed here for 3 weeks and coudn't fault it once. I have been to Gran Canaria 6 times and this is the best accommodation I've stayed in by far.
Best Hotel in Playa
This must be the best Hotel in the Playa area. Clean, spacious, bright and airy. All the facilites of an apartment with bedroom, lounge, bath and kitchen but all the facilities of a four+ star hotel. Just across the road from the Jumbo Centre so its ideal for gay travellers in terms of situation etc. Also gay friendly (although many straight visitors appreciate the hotel which is hard to beat!) Not that far from Beach (walking distance ) and taxi is very cheap anyway. Stayed here on four occasions now (7 weeks in total) and... more
Heaven
Do not really want to tell you all about this heaven on earth place. If you go there you will not find a palce like it. It is like a home from home. 80% Dutch customers so you have to be prepaired for that. I come from Ireland so we mix well! The apartments are spacious and have got all your needs. The hotel is is built in a C formation overlooking the great pool and the jacuzi. It has the feel of a five star hotel and bar,dining room ,food are excellent. Dont book early as I need to get my bookings in... more
