Good option in Natal
"We stayed there twice. Fist time 4 nights- 1st floor area D. I Didn’t like that area. Close to the kitchen so it was a little warm and smelly. Not in the room though. Good food. Good service. Second time, 1st floor area B. Soo much better. It’s a beautiful hotel."

"I have stayed in this hotel several times before but this time I found the hotel is not the same. I think the up keep has declined. my bathroom had some mold in the shower; the sink was not draining freely; the closet door would not stay closed. The worse of all was the WIFI (terrible)"

The climate, the people (friendly, welcoming), the laid back atmosphere, almost everything within walking distance - if you don't want to venture to other areas. I would struggle to fault Natal. High on my list of holiday spots!
