Pros:

In generale è andato tutto bene,io mio moglie e nostro figlio(7 anni) siamo rimasti soddisfatti. È una struttura dedicata prevalentemente alle famiglie con bambini, ben servita ed in una buona posizione.

Cons:

Stanze poco insonorizzate, parecchio caos nelle ore di punta nell' unico ristorante durante i pasti, code per gli ascensori. C'è

Prezzo troppo alto per quanto descritto
Pros:

Vicinanza a Magaluf e tanta scelta sul cibo wifi ovunque

Cons:

Per andare in spiaggia bisogna uscire dall'albergo e fare 7 minuti a piedi tra discese e scale, camere poco curate, lingua italiana quasi pari a 0

Pessimo soggiorno
Pros:

L’unico punto di forza è la posizione

Cons:

Purtroppo avevamo chiesto un late check out ma non era possibile anche se le camere erano disponibili, ristorante pessimo sempre 20 minuti di fila sia per la colazione che per la cena, siamo dovuti andare fuori a mangiare

Top pour un court séjour demi pension agréable
Pros:

Dans l’ensemble l’hôtel est top pour les enfants avec le parc aquatique. Un personnel en salle de restauration super sympa ainsi que les femmes de ménage aussi.
Ainsi que l’ambiance et les animations pas besoin de sortir de l’hôtel.

Cons:

Gros inconvénients les ascenseurs et l’attente trop longue bcp de monde alors qu’on a un enfant en bas et obliger de prendre la poussette c’était compliqué j’ai du prendre les escaliers du 3eme étage avec la poussette et seule avec mon fils
Les gens irrespectueux dans les couloirs la nuit quand on essaye de dormir

Desconexión y diversión 🐚🪸🌊
Pros:

La zona de toboganes de los niños, un buen punto, también tenían una cancha de fútbol y de baloncesto, que a mis hijos les alegró las tardes.

Cons:

La habitación estaba muy bien, pero el sofá cama se le quedaba pequeño a mi hijo mayor.

Disappointing and not worth the price
Pros:

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our stay at Sol Barbados especially considering the price.
The beds were extremely uncomfortable, and we barely slept, felt like it would collapse
The room was also not cleaned properly, we also had ants in our room.

The hotel was extremely overcrowded. There were long queues at the restaurant almost every day, and long waits for the elevators. I had a stroller with me, and several times we waited more than 10 minutes for an elevator, which was incredibly frustrating.

Cons:

Location is fine, 5 min from bus station and the beach is nearby. The restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool area was good, there were activities every day for both adults and kids.

Rimeligt men for dyrt i forhold til stressen ved det.
Pros:

Gode faciliteter for børn og god beliggenhed.

Cons:

Men meget stressende. Larm og mennesker over alt, der var lang kø bare for at komme ind i resturanten og svært at finde liggestol da folk også står i kø her når pool først åbner kl 10. Sengene var ekstremt hårde og værelset slidt. Desuden virkede aircon ikke optimalt og væggene var papirstynde så også virkelig meget larm når man bare var på værelset.

Ein insgesamt gutes,sehr großes Hotel. Die Lage nähe Strand war gut. Preisleistungsverhältnis passt.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Jeden Tag wurde das Bett gemacht und bei Bedarf neue Handtücher gebracht. Das Frühstück war gut. Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht. Das hat für uns absolut gereicht. Die Schlange vor dem Restaurant war gigantisch lang, wenn man zu den Hauptzeiten kam. Also früher frühstücken, dann hat man die Auswahl an Tischen und nicht so lange Schlangen im Restaurant. Beim Abendessen das Gleiche. Das Essen insgesamt war aber wirklich gut und es wurde immer nachgefüllt.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr groß, d.h. sehr viele Leute an den Aufzügen, im Restaurant und an den Pools.
