My husband and I stayed from 18 to 20 February 2011 in Manary Hotel in Natal. We enjoyed the location and the common areas (the breakfast area and the area overlooking the sea). We did not like our standard room (side view) as it was quite dark and there was a musty smell.The pool is really small. Good breakfast. If you choose to stay at the hotel ask for a sea view room (if you can afford!).

Really lovely hotel - perfect for a complete chill out. The rooms are spacious, yet have a really cosy feel about them. The pool area is gorgeous, and the whole hotel is decorated beautifully and set in lovely gardens. It's right by the beach, and they provide sunbeds, and it's also really easy to book trips through the hotel (they sorted a buggy ride day for us). All in all - just a brilliant hotel.

We normally arrive in Brazil via Recife but this time we decided to arrive in Natal. Recife is not very nice at all but Natal is a much better place to start a visit to the Northeast of Brazil. The hotel is about 30minutes drive from the airport. The airport is very small and there are often long delays at immigration so it is good that the hotel is well located. Reception is very relaxed - you can complete the forms in your room. The rooms are reasonably good by Brazil standards. It takes a while to get used to the sound of the waves at night if you are in a beach front room. The restaurant is lovely with a good range of food. I had a fantastic massage - probably the most relaxing ever. One of the bedrooms has been converted into a relaxing massage room. The hotel is located on a pleasant (surfing) beach and you can walk along the beach to reach different restaurants. The best restaurants and good shopping are accessible by car/taxi. The staff are very friendly at the hotel and I have given the hotel 5 stars for the friendly staff, excellent massage and friendly restaurant. This is a very charming small hotel and we hope to return next year.

Book yourself in a Princess Suite at the Manary Praia and you are assured the perfect honeymoon.. recommended more than once !
Lovely, cosy room with a spacious terrace with hammock overlooking the pool and ocean.
Four-poster bed with a fairy-tale look and feel.
