The hotel is nice, but we would have expected more from a 5-star resort. Our room was large, but rather worn. There was a strange smell from the cupboards so we did not put our clothes there. Also the bathroom was average - even the toilet was somewhat loose from the wall. The room safe did not work. No coffee makers in the rooms. If you don’t speak Portuguese be prepared to use google translate - a LOT. Our daughter had been looking forward to using the kids club but this was impossible as no one spoke English. Not a single person working with the kids knew the slightest English. Even some of the receptionists struggled with English so our bookings for dinner for example was mixed up and had to be rescheduled. Hardly anyone in the restaurants / bars spoke any English whatsoever. I find it strange that at a 5-star family resort of this size that English was such an issue. Other than that - pool area was nice and it was good being able to order drinks and snacks by the pool. Although a menu was necessary to point to what we wanted to order.

The property is well located with a great view. However, at arrival, I found out the two rooms were not placed together as requested during the reservation. Hotel staff had to fix the rooms locations, but took 4 hours to get it resolved. Área where rooms were located was under renovation and one of the rooms had no hot water in the showers and the other room had a cracked window and poorly maintained window.

The staff and service is excellent. The facilities is quiet older than the pictures online. The view to the sea is perfect!

The property is old and outdated. The room and bathroom were not clean. The hotel staff was not very helpful. We did not stay the night. We left within 2 hours of checking in.

I was probably the only American at the property at the time but I was definitely the only person of color there. The staff was great to me and made me feel welcome. The bar staff was really great! The bartender Robson was super! He made the best cocktails! Overall my stay was outstanding. The food was always good and the drinks were always right!

It is an awesome resort. Many excellent restaurants. Staff is very friendly. However they need more English speakers.

The hotel is being renovated partially but the work done is not interfering with the excellent manner in which the hotel is being run, and the excellent care and attention given to the client!

I like the location of the hotel, facing to the beach.

NOT a 5 star hotel.

We got ti stay at the presidencail suite and it was prety amazing. The views of Ponta Negra beach are supern and tge room one of a kind for sure. I'll definitely be coming back on my next trip to Natal.

The pictures of the room were not showing that the toilet has a glass door (90% area transparent). So, everybody can see you in your private moment at the toilet as well as the shower, this same glass door runs to the toilet. It was totally uncomfortable for me to share this with my mother. We stay at the room number 341D. Please show people the truth, real pictures 360 degrees for not having surprises like us.

Overall it was a pleasant experience. The hotel is located in a quiet area where you would only hear the sea. There is a combined cycle and walking path just outside. The area is somewhat windy and the sea is never calm, so you would need to go elsewhere to swim. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was alright. Tapiocas were the highlight with a lot of people queuing for them. There is a newly introduced electronic system for ordering services, which was functioning most of the time. The hotel could use some renovation though. Bathroom in particular needs a bit love.

The Hotel is nice and I hope to return soon. The amenity I liked most was the spa. In my opinion, the only con is the mattress and pillows.

The hotel is far away to be a 5 stars. Need urgent renovation. The room is OK, not super. The air-conditioning is SUPER noise. Food and frins prices are really expensive. Staff is very nice anf friendly. If you are booking a Luxury 5 stars hotel, this is not the place to go.
