Its on the beach, but beyond that there is nothing good to say about this hotel.
We stayed at this hotel from December 10th through December 15th, 2011. It took us three days of complaints to get them to clean a sticky spot on the tile floor. The AC worked by attaching two wires bare dangling from the thermostat, and then it was extreme cold only. The beachside pool had so much algae that you could not see the bottom. The second floor pool had scum so thick around the edges that guests had played tick tack toe in the filth. Shower had black mold coming down the corners like an inverted pyramid. The shower dripped all night too (very noisy). The internet was slower than dialup in the rooms, but barely useable in the lobby. I will say the food was good!
The final insult was when we were checking out and I pushed the bed out to check for lost belongings. There behind the bed was a colony of (dead thankfully) bedbugs! They had sprayed but were too lazy and slovenly to clean up the kills.
The worst part about this hotel is the "redneck" mentality. These people think they have a nice hotel. They don't even realize how bad they are.
When in Natal, go someplace else!

The best things here were the views (make sure you get a room with a good one),breakfast , and location at ponta negra beach . There is a atentious service and a good relation price /quality . The negative points in first place for me was people selling things right in front the acces to the beach. Besides, charging for internet,towels and only 8 umbrellas at the beach (136 rooms !) . There are 3 pools but neither one invited me in . Gym area is small ,bad located and old .The food at the restaurant is basic and not worth (don"t miss some restaurants nearby like camaroes potiguar for fish and shrimps , The italian piazale italia and the restaurant at manary hotel ) .

This was my first trip to Brazil and I have to say that I couldn't have picked a better first hotel to stay in. The front counter / concierge service is friendly and informative, the room service is prompt and attentive. The room and hotel design really create a 'beach-side' atmosphere.
One day we spent sitting at the pool-side bar (drinks are amazing!) another on the beach itself. The staff recommended we try a buggy ride which picks you up from the hotel, and takes you on a tour of many of the popular destinations in Natal.
Being a big fan of food, my favorite thing at this hotel was the buffet breakfast, delicious! Probably the only complaint I would have is that the gym equipment is quite old, but still functional

I just LOVED staying there! Me and my fiancé (now husband) set a "Honey moon" decoration, so when we arrived there the surprise was just amazing! flowers, candles and chocolates everywhere, plus a buck of ice with champagne! We sat down in the varanda, wich had the most perfect view to the beach and "morro do careca" (if you go there please get a room with the view to the beach, its a waste to dont have it! speacialy 308 =) ) and had some champagne enjoying the waves sound plus charmy water fall in the swimming pool, wich also faced to our room. Loved the view from the restaurant to the bar inside the pool. Loved the wood feel.Shame that the staff couldnt talk in english properly so I had to translate everything to my partner. Its also included in the honeymoon pack 30 min massage and 1 breakfast in the room, wich for some reason didnt come as scheduled...so i had to set up to the next day and then came in the right time!good restaurants around, very good localization, and good food in their restaurant. If you have energy after a long day around the city, go to see some tradicional dance and food around, if dont, one or two days eating in their restaurant is not a waste, the food is good, not unbelieveble exciting comparing to some around, but good! Have good memories would definetly come back!
