Rifóles

$$ | Rua Coronel Inácio Vale 8847, Natal, 59090-040, Brazil

At the end of Ponta Negra Beach, this resort offers extensive facilities, family-oriented entertainment, and the chance to unwind in the blazing northeastern sun in one of the six swimming pools. The eclectic architectural style stands out, with pirate and cave-painting motifs cultivated through the use of materials such as old driftwood, plaster, marble, and tijolo aparente—locally produced beige bricks. The beach in front is uncrowded, as it's a mile or so from the busy part of Ponta Negra. Rooms are well equipped and adequately sized and the restaurant is open 24 hours a day.

Pros

  • On the beach
  • Friendly atmosphere

Cons

  • Lacks personal service
  • In need of an update
