Fantastic Spa facility, large , quiet and very comfortable room. Unbelievable choice at the buffet breakfast.
I will start by saying that I rarely give a place a 10... most places I stay are great, but a stay has to be something special to get a 10.... and this hotel has it all. If you are looking for a rest from touring northern spain, or just looking for a rejuvenating get away because you live here, look no further. Why does it stand out? The staff...all of them... reception desk, restaurant servers, spa were professional, caring, friendly, and worked so so hard to make the guests stay comfortable. It was just heaven for this weary traveler on day 22 of her trip....

Summer
Summer (June–August) — warmest weather, busiest period.
Winter (November–February, excluding the Christmas/New Year holidays) — lowest prices and fewest tourists.
March–May: mild temperatures, blooming countryside, and increasing ferry/train/bus schedules. Good time for hiking in nearby hills and avoiding summer crowds.
A regular local market held on weekends where residents sell produce, clothing, and household goods — typical in many Cantabrian towns.
Regional trade and agricultural fairs are periodically hosted in and around towns like Solares and nearby venues; dates vary year to year.
Santander's biggest summer festival (typically in July) drawing visitors from across Cantabria; colorful, lively, and easy to reach from Solares.
Traditional winter masquerade and folkloric event in parts of Cantabria (first Sunday of the year in towns like Silió); a vivid display of local customs and costumes.
Cantabria has an Atlantic maritime climate: mild temperatures year-round, frequent rain, and changeable weather. Pack layers, a reliable waterproof jacket, and shoes with good grip. Sunscreen is useful on bright Atlantic days. Check local forecasts before rural hikes because conditions can shift quickly.
Solares is a small town in Cantabria close to Santander. Hotel and lodging prices here follow regional patterns: they rise during the summer beach season (June–August) and during major nearby events in Santander or regional fairs. Weekends can be pricier than weekdays because Solares is a convenient rural base for visitors attending events or exploring Cantabria. Budget stays and guesthouses are plentiful off-season; booking in advance is recommended for summer and holiday weekends. Short-term vacation rentals are popular; prices spike for long holiday weekends and during Santander's big festivals.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Solares is well placed for exploring Cantabria but public transport is limited compared with big cities. A car gives the most flexibility; regional buses and commuter trains connect to Santander and other towns.
Base yourself in Solares for a quieter stay with easy access to Santander, the Pas valleys and the coast; rent a car for day trips into the mountains and lesser-known villages, and plan flexible day itineraries to adapt to Cantabria’s changeable weather.
