Hotel Solverde Spa and Wellness Center

Breakfast was FABULOUS. The bar tender was WONDERFUL - very personable, pleasant and attentive The live piano music was enjoyable and relaxing. The spa service was very good. I booked a package of hydro/body scrub/massage and it was good and a very reasonable price. I was so disappointed because we paid a lot and it turned out to be terrible weather! However, the spa appointment was a nice treat in lieu of time at the beach and at least our room and the bed were both comfortable. The wind and rain finally cleared up the day we were leaving, so I requested late checkout and enjoyed sitting on the beach which is particularly beautiful with lots of interesting rock formations.

The hotel is spotless, from the grounds to the bedrooms. The staff are some of the kindest most professional people in the business, they cannot do enough for you. The sea views are incredible. The rooms are very comfortable. The pools, spa and gym are beautiful and well equipped. The hotel is most certainly a wellness centre of gentle peaceful spaces with something for everyone.

250m from the Northern beaches, an oasis featuring 2 really large saltwater pools (one indoor and one outdoor, both heated) making it a great destination (especially with kids) all year round. If one wants to visit Gaia or Porto, it's a short 20mn ride away by car. The breakfast room as well as the breakfast itself were excellent, the latter with loads of variety and really high quality. While the hotel still has an "old soul" it was clearly modernised and is extremely functional and comfortable overall. Good SPA and gym as well.

Absolutely excellent hotel. No wonder this is the hotel of choice for the Portuguese national football team. We felt most comfortable, very well received by the staff. A wonderful breakfast, and especially most quiet/soundproofed rooms which provided plenty cooling by the air-conditioning for a much more comfortable sleep. The outdoor, fully heated salt-water pool was quite incredible and the private entrance to the beach was quite mesmerising with Sunset. We required some quick ironing which was gracefully performed by the hotel itself. It came back in a mere 20min, just on time for the wedding. Just incredible service, most kind staff. Would definitely return.

Location a short walk from the beach was excellent. A short walk to the train station also meant we had easy access to Porto. Hotel staff could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Facilties including mini golf, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, spa, and even a small playground for kids meant we had loads to do without the need to venture out if we so wished. Breakfast was great also. We really enjoyed our stay at this 5-star hotel.
