***SOLTERRA RESORT TEMPORARY AMENITY UPDATE – FALL 2026***

Solterra Resort has announced scheduled refurbishment works to its community aquatic facilities. The community Lazy River is scheduled to close from September 8, 2026, with the resort pool and hot tub scheduled to close from September 22, 2026. The current schedule anticipates reopening at approximately December 14, 2026, subject to completion of the works, inspections and approvals.

The private pool at this home is completely unaffected.

The resort has advised that Café Sol, the fitness centre, sports courts and clubhouse services will remain available during the works, although there may be some construction activity around the clubhouse area.

The existing optional Solterra resort access charge is currently understood to remain applicable. We will update this information if the resort advises otherwise.

If use of the community aquatic facilities is particularly important to your stay, please contact us before booking.


*Please note that from September 01, 2023, Solterra Resort has introduced a new access fee for guests who may wish to make use of the community facilities and pool area.

The use of the facilities is optional and so the charge is only applicable for groups who wish to make use of the facilities at the resort center. The fee, paid on site to the resort center directly is a one-time $35 total for groups of 1-12 guests or $45 total where 13+ guests are staying. This is a one-time charge for the entire stay and is paid on site to the resort itself. The charge is applied by the resort, on-site to any guests staying at any home booked at Solterra resort however booked but only where a group wishes to use the resort area.

Of course, in such a well-appointed home, with a private pool, loungers, shaded lanai, and space for all the family, the choice of going to the resort center is entirely yours. Either way we know you will have a fabulous stay at our home in Solterra resort and look forward to your stay!
