Relaxing Pools and Spas

The pool areas at Solanas are nothing short of lovely! I particularly loved the outdoor pools and the hot tubs. The lush landscaping surrounding these areas creates a peaceful environment that allows for complete relaxation. Spending time by the pool was a major highlight of my trip!

Great Dining Options

During my stay at Solanas, I was pleased with the variety of dining options available. Though we mostly cooked in our well-equipped kitchen, we experienced the on-site restaurant, which offered delicious dishes. The quality of food was impressive, and it provided a convenient option for days when we didn't feel like going out.
