For the price it's not a bad hotel--not perfect, but a great location. The hotel has 166 rooms, is…read moreright on the beach and has several pools, a tennis court and they serve microbrew beer at the pool (so far so good!). A good many of the rooms have a view of the beach and the ocean (if you ask, the front desk will do their best to accommodate you if your booking did not include this). The space could be better used. While they have some lovely antiques scattered about and the restaurant where breakfast is served has a wonderful view overlooking the beach, there are several bars and lounge areas that appear to have used to have servers that are just used for seating. The hotel in general needs a bit of TLC (there are some problems of mold, but nothing outrageous) and there is no room service after 10 PM. We were here for Christmas vacation and the hotel was packed, but there was still adequate parking on site. Some earlier commenters noted that the hotel is a bit far from town, but it only cost about R$25 by taxi to get there, so if that's a deal breaker, then this isn't the place for you. Otherwise the staff were, generally, very pleasant and mostly all were helpful.

This a solid 1 star Hotel. There are so many things wrong with this hotel for the amount you pay. I…read moredon't know how it got higher than 2 stars. Must be the view that's all. Let me start with the few positives. The view from our room is very nice. You can see the green water along with the palm trees that make for really nice photos from the comfort of your room. They also had a decent breakfast buffet every morning which was nice. Access to the beach was great as it's private and the swimming pool is a decent size as well. Now as for the negatives. As soon as we checked in, we were told that there was no WiFi in the room. You have to go the lobby to get Internet. Secondly, the room itself was very old and falling apart. All of the mirrors had black spots on them and the sliding balcony door lock was broken and fell out so the balcony door wouldn't completely shut. Third, the hot water shower knob fell off and wouldn't stay into place. And finally the toilet bowl was leaking as well. We did mention the balcony door to the hotel staff but it was not fixed. If you're going to charge people a lot of money for a hotel at least fix the rooms. Overall I would not stay here again if I came back to Natal. I'd choose a different hotel even if it is a little further away from the beach.
