2 Best Hotels in Natal, The Northeast

One block from the beach, this small hotel is a great option if you're willing to forgo ocean views and stylish design for a friendly staff and competitive rates. Apart from the elevator, the three-story hotel seems more like a guesthouse. Rooms are well equipped and comfortable. The two small pools help compensate for the lack of sea views.

The four-star rooms at this hotel are highly incongruous with the two-star-quality lobby; luckily, prices are more representative of the latter. The small hotel is a block from the beach, with a pool in front. All rooms have balconies; request those with direct sea views, since they cost the same.
