Best hotel in the whole city. The hotel was located perfectly and and right in the center of the…read moreaction. Hotel staff was very friendly. We were grilling the hotel staff on where to go and they would tell us where and what to do. Free parking in gated areas in the hotel. open air hotel. Heated and non heated pool and jacuzzi. Amazing rooms; not top notch but it was alright. Food was good but the breakfast was mediocre. during dinner there was music but it was a bit too loud. otherwise, it was great!

Best hostel in Brazil no lie. This place has everything, I'm telling you. They have live music at…read morethe hostel every other day or so. Sundays were amazingly fantastic for whatever reason, don't know why! Albergue is also a creperia or place that make fresh crepes. Fruit, chocolate, meat, every kind you can think of. They also have a full bar with some of the best Caipirinhas In town. The staff is top notch and speak English if you don't speak portuguese (learn portuguese!). The dorms are comfortable and spacious with large lockers and personal bathrooms. The best part is the atmosphere and the people you meet of coarse. No doubt about it albergue da costa is the best hostel in Natal.

We stayed for about two weeks. Of those two weeks, I only really spent three full days at the…read morehotel. The rest of the time was spent traveling for US soccer matches during the world cup or taking a side trip to Rio de Janeiro. Pros: -Right on the beach -Within a 5-10min walk of Praia shopping center (with the tents and Habib's) -The entrance is gated (although anyone could really drive in) -Air conditioned room -Sliding door and balcony (able to sit on balcony) -Free breakfast buffet included w/our stay -Can swim up to the bar & order a drink -Strong jets in the whirlpool. INCREDIBLE VIEW! -Filtered water spigot in the gym for water bottle re-filling -Fridge in the room -Safety deposit box in the room (R$2/day) -Someone is always willing to assist with luggage. -Staff was friendly & there was usually at least one person who could speak English -Can hook up your iPod to the outside speaker -Outdoor shower/water spigot available when you come up the stairs from the beach -Overall the restaurant food's pretty decent. My favorite was the chicken, rice, and vegetable soup, which easily can feed 2 people. Cons: -To get to the beach, the walkway's unfinished, so you have to trudge through piles of sand. -Everything is tiled, so hallway noise echoes like crazy -Gym is pathetic (20lb weights and an unsafe treadmill) -Sauna doesn't have a vent or heating element -Whirlpool outside is not heated -Housekeeping just replaces towels and makes the bed. No sheets are replaced, the floor isn't swept, and the mirror isn't cleaned. -The cold breakfast beverages all taste funny. -Dinner one night in the restaurant took 45 minutes to get our first course (soup). -The towels are stained and have seen better days. -Spotty Wifi sometimes, even though a Wifi pole (green poles with boxes on top) was right outside our room. -No elevator. If you are handicapped, ask for a room on the 2nd floor (which is actually the same floor as the front desk). -ANYTHING in the room, e.g. snacks or anything in the fridge, is a charge if consumed. -Towel rack is in the shower (so your towels will get wet if you keep them hung there). -No disposable cups for hot beverages, e.g. tea, and forget trying to ask for this. -The toilet paper actually consists of napkins, and if housekeeping gives you another pack, good luck trying to get it in the dispenser. -The vegetable cream soup was terrible, and in contrast to the other soup, you only get a small cup. Tips: -If you need more towels, ask the front desk. They have pool towels that aren't stained, and they're about the same size as the bath towels. -If you are about to run out of something, bring the item to housekeeping because they don't speak English. -Stay on top of the bartenders if you request a mixed drink at the pool bar. -A taxi to the airport costs anywhere from R$110-$155. -Ask well in advance for a taxi because it take up to 30 minutes.

This was our first time staying at this hotel and I was impressed. We came to Natal to celebrate…read moremy birthday and the hotel we usually stay at was fully booked, so I searched and came across Vogal. The hotel opened in 2019, but had to shut down during the beginning of the pandemic panic. The hotel is reasonably priced, considering the quality (about $200 per night). Breakfast and dinner are included. Staff are very professional and helpful. At check-in, you are greeted with a welcome glass of champagne (the good stuff). It is located right on the beach. Our room (708) was large, with a queen-sized bed and a single. It also had an ample veranda. The bed was extremely comfortable as were the sheets. The minibar in the room was stocked with a small bottle of Veuve Cliquot and there was eve a half-bottle of Jack Daniels in the room. Breakfast was nice, and while I didn't eat dinner here, I did stop in to see what they were offering and there were many choices, including shrimp, beef, chicken and many more options. The hotel's restaurants (there are two) have a large wine list, although the prices are a bit high. There are several swimming pools of varying sizes, so they don't ever seem crowded. The hotel has large opulent open spaces throughout--it really is a beautiful hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will hopefully be coming back again soon.

This is a pretty decent hotel. It doesn't look as fancy as the hotel next door (Serhs) but it is…read moreall inclusive, which makes it easier in some ways. The room for one person came with a double kingsize bed which was kind of ridiculous because it was far wider than it was tall. The view from the 7th floor was awesome, overlooking the huge resort pool and the kiddie play area. Although the sliding glass doors were difficult to open and shut and came off the track easily. We even saw a bird grab a tiny crab from the planter boxes on the patio, so nature does come to your window. The bathroom came with a full shower and tub, which is nice when you just want a bath. They had the basic bathroom amenities: shampoo, bath gel, conditioner, lotion, shower cap and soap. The small fridge had some sodas, water and kids box drinks in it, which was free and restocked once a day (it costs if you want more). There were several restaurants to chose from which were buffets. You are allowed to make a limited number of reservations at a sit-down restaurant and order a la carte (depending on how long your stay is). At night they had a local NGO kids group perform some capoeira. After they did their demonstration, they got the audience to participate. The front desk also offers tours for day trips.
