Beautiful looking property but RED flags appeared immediately upon arrival. Wifi was broken on first day. Hot tub is not hot. You have to pay extra for sauna. Have to leave a deposit for pool towel. Bed is uncomfortable. Extremely hard. First morning breakfast, automatic coffee machine was broken but they wouldn’t provide coffee using the $5k machine at the bar. Threaten to charge people who take an extra piece of fruit with Them when they leave breakfast buffet. These signs are disappointing. Never experienced this before at any hotel with this star rating.

Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Solar de Boaventura Peaceful, Tranquil, Relaxing

The staff was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, the food and the Chef are amazing! Everyone was pleasant and willing to help whenever required. The grounds around the hotel are beautiful and peaceful. There are nooks and crannies with benches, tables, chairs to sit and relax. The indoor pool is huge. The view from the hotels magnificent with mountains, mist and beautiful scenery. You MUST experience this hotel!
As a vegan it's awesome to find staff and Chef working to create a dessert for me Orange Juice Cake!

Very nice located hotel with a lush garden, great swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Nice service, pretty good restaurant. We booked a double bed room for 81 Euros/Night and got one in the old part with a bit outdated furniture and no balcony. Surprisingly the hotel was a bit clairaudient. That was okay for us but the mattress was horrible: when your partner turned in the (narrow) bed you almost fell out of it. Furthermore the pillows were way too small and soft. The bathroom was okay, but there was a smell coming out of the sink. The breakfast was disappointing: really really standard, except some fruits nothing fresh. The bred and croissants tasted nothing. The coffee was good. So overall I recommend when you book there to insist to get a room in the newer part, where the beds are hopefully better.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
--- Subject: Extremely Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at [solar de Boaventura ] and unfortunately had a very negative experience was overcharged for my stay, and despite my attempts to resolve the issue, it seems that the staff was more focused on finding ways to charge extra rather than addressing my concerns. There was only one staff member, Sara, who appeared to be listening to my issues, but the overall lack of friendliness and support from the rest of the team was disheartening. I ended up leaving a day early and had to pay for another hotel because I simply couldn’t stay any longer. Additionally, the lack of convenient transportation options, such as taxis or Uber, made it even more challenging. To top it off, there was no water provided in the room, which is a basic expectation. I was promised that I would receive a refund for the extra charge, but I have yet to see any follow-up on that. Overall, this was a very bad experience, and I hope that my feedback will lead to improvements for future guests. Thank you. ---

Eklatant ist, dass es im Zimmer nur ein Nachkästchen gab und nur eine Steckdose, das ist nicht zeitgemäß, Internet auf dem Zimmer hat auch nicht funktioniert. Das Frühstücksbuffet könnte reichhaltiger sein, ist aber ok. Der Kaffee aus dem Automaten am Buffet ist nicht gut, auf Wunsch bekommt man aber einen Kaffee nach Wunsch (z.B. Cappucino). Die Einrichtung ist alt/elegant, mit viel Liebe zusammengestellt, aber irgendwie hatten wir den Eindruck, dass das Hotel nicht 'lebt', da fehlt der Spirit, die Herzlichkeit. AE in Restaurant ist nicht zu empfehlen, aber es gibt einige gute Restaurants in 5-15 min Entfernung. Alles in allem trotzdem gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Chambre correcte mais un seul oreiller par personne, une couverture (et non une couette, attention pour les allergiques) et un lit pour 2 de petite taille, grande et belle sdb, vue bouchée par une haie devant le parking, isolation ok sauf si voisins bruyants comme les nôtres :-( Parties communes très élégantes de même que l’espace spa. Attention pas de places de parking pour tout le monde au sein de l’établissement malgré 2 parkings. Petit déjeuner ok mais sans plus.
