    the worst service I've ever met. Club manager Manuel Marques doens't care about the clients, avoid communication and just tries to hide from everything. Somebody stole my money from the wallet here in the club, and the manager didn't solve the situation, because "they are not responsible for any articles stolen". Of cause, they're not responsible, but even the manager just didn't try to help us - no calls, no e-mails, nothing. I decided to stop the contract with Solinca and they told that stolen articles weren't the real reason for cancellation. Hah, very good job, guys. After that I provided all the necessary documents for contract cancellation (because, by the way, I am not a resident of Portugal), sent it to e-mail of the manager, but he didn't answer until now. I've already left Portugal, but still they continue to ignore me and play for time, because they don't want to stop the contract. I think that it's a simple cheat with absolutely irresponsible management. Their aim is just to catch the client, and after "they're not responsible". Take care of your money /and time/ if you go there. NOT recommended.

    Muito mau mesmo. Primeiro health club do mundo em que fui, e já fui a muitos na Estónia, Espanha, Inglaterra, França e Itália onde NÃO HÁ Toucas para a piscina. Tive a que voltar a casa para ir busca las. TOALHAS, éramos dois, eu e o meu filho deram me uma toalha SO. OS BALNEÁRIOS DOS HOMENS, tão pequeno que "as mangueiras" tocam umas nas outras, se é que me entendem. SAUNA, temperatura interior 30 graus, Portugal na väga de calor teve a 45 graus. JACUZZI, todo partido, calhas partidas, aliás tem mais de 30 anos aquele jacuzzi. Perdeu qualidade, bar são vending machines, recepção pouco amigável para angariação de novos clientes. Até nunca. Really bad. They don't have hat for the pool, towel take one yourself because they are saving money to wash them. Small restrooms for the guys, sauna is for baby's, 35 degrees max. Jacuzzi is all fuc%@ed. Lost quality. Is not a spa or a heath club, is just a tank with water.

    Old machines, insufficient lighting, not enough air. The water in the jacuzzi is not warm enough. There are no stones in the bathhouse where you can embroider water. Before this I went to this club on Estádio do Dragão, where it is many times better. The staff here are friendly, which is good.

    Splendid location. Complete facilities with swimming pool, sauna, Turkish bath and jacuzzi.

  • 2/5 Elisa C. 10 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    At the moment it is not attractive and does not provide a service aimed at customer satisfaction. They don't want parents watching the kids in class because they get distracted... okay, why don't you put a mirrored film inside? Or some blinds? In addition to the service at reception, it looks more like a social room! There is no advisor in the gym room or in the pool…but there is at the reception! The lack of maintenance of the facilities is also a big problem. It is not what it used to be. Mr Belmiro is greatly missed, and those who stayed relaxed, thinking that the work was already done. Regrettable 🙄🙄🙄

    (Translated by Google) Gym that does not have the same modern equipment as other Solinca, despite being integrated into a 5 star hotel. Worth for the good service of some collaborators. (Original) Ginásio que não tem os mesmos equipamentos modernos como outros Solinca, apesar de estar integrado num hotel 5 estrelas. Vale pelo Bom atendimento de alguns colaboradores.

  • 2/5 Diogo S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An old gym but with all the equipment necessary for the training. Few people, which facilitates training to be done in a more relaxed way. The staff is friendly but I think at the level of Cleanliness this gym fails a lot, hence not allowing me to give a better rating. Jacuzzi does not work. (Original) Um ginásio antigo mas com todos equipamentos necessários para a realização do treino. Pouca gente, o que facilita o treino ser feito de uma forma mais tranquila. A equipa é simpática mas acho que a nível de Limpeza este ginásio falha muito,daí não me permitir dar uma melhor classificação. Jacuzzi não funciona.

    (Translated by Google) No possibility of bathing due to lack of hot water !! The receptionist's justification "as there has been little influx, water heating does not always work".

Justificação da rececionista "como tem havido pouca afluência nem sempre funciona o aquecimento de água". Lamentável.. Ter muita ou pouca afluência em nada justifica a falta de água quente!

  • 1/5 Kris 3 years ago on Google
    Reported for a fraud It took several months from the day we paid for a membership to make our gym cards working. Therefore it took very long time to get ticket for the classes (we had to wait for a receptionist, who was always busy, to print a ticket). Once "corona" started, it took several weeks to start an online classes. Our ex-gym started online classes after few days, therefore we shifted back. That is the reason why I asked for a membership cancellation and for returning back our money for not offering any services. I have send first email on 4.4. (another one again on 18.5.). It is 31.5. 2020 now. It is already two months and they did not cancel our membership and did not return our money back. Both times they wrote me they will solve it ASAP. Two months is more than 100xASAP. EDIT: despite the answer of marketing under this review, it has been another 2 weeks of ignorance. No membership cancellation and no money back. EDIT: AFTER 2 OTHER WEEKS, Infesta Hc deleted my fb comments and blocked me. Instead of answering an email, sending apologies and returning few euros....Congratulations to the owner 👏

    (Translated by Google) Very complete gym, different rooms and studios for group classes. There is always a service instructor to supervise the training room and help if needed. The rpm classes are a bang! Very friendly and cordial staff. The spa is quite complete (sauna, Turkish bath, jacuzzi) and in the swimming area there are also 3 pools with different sizes and temperatures. The premises are always clean. There is a dryer and hairdryer in the changing rooms. It is well located on Avenida da Boavista, served by public transport and good access. The only drawback is poor ventilation in the free training room. (Original) Ginásio bastante completo, diferentes divisões e estúdios para as aulas de grupo. Há sempre um instrutor de serviço para supervisionar sala de treino e ajudar caso seja necessário. As aulas de rpm são um estrondo ! Equipa muito simpática e cordial. O spa é bastante completo (sauna, banho turco, jacuzzi) e na zona de natação há ainda 3 piscinas com diferentes dimensões e temperatura. As instalações estão sempre asseadas. Há máquina de secar roupa e secador de cabelo nos balneários. Está bem localizado na Avenida da Boavista, servido de transportes públicos e bons acessos. O único senão é a pouca ventilação na sala de treino livre.

    (Translated by Google) Well coordinated and organized by the local responsible (manager). The whole team is proactive and has a great spirit of mutual help. All the staff listen to us and are always ready to help. Hygienization is a requirement nowadays, especially in places like gyms, they fulfill the eye. And those who frequent the space, I say proudly, act with civility and contribute to keeping the space spotless by being responsible for cleaning the machines and equipment before and after use. IT'S GOOD TO BE ON THIS TEAM! (Original) Bem coordenado e organizado pela responsável local (gerente). Toda a equipa é pro-activa e possuí um grande espírito de interajuda. Todo o pessoal nos escuta e está sempre pronto a ajudar. A higienização é uma exigência nos dias de hoje, principalmente em locais como os ginásios, cumprem a olhos vistos. E os que frequentam o espaço, digo orgulhosamente, agem com civismo e contribuem pra manter o espaço impecável sendo responsável pela higienização das máquinas e equipamentos antes e depois da utilização. É BOM SER DESTA EQUIPA!
