Frommer's Review
Little more than a year old, the Natal Grand is the newest and most luxurious of the top-end resorts strung along the ocean-side Via Costeira. Rooms are fresh, bright, and modern, all with tile floors, clean bright bathrooms, and balconies facing out over the sea. Superior rooms feature firm double beds and a small writing desk. Family rooms feature two double beds, but no extra space making them a little squished. Junior suites are more spacious, with a separate sitting room and fold-out couch, making them a good option for those traveling with kids. A couple looking to splurge, however, should opt for a Senior or even an Executive Suite, both of which feature an outdoor terrace with Jacuzzi built for two.
Recreational facilities at this Spanish-run hotel are top-notch. The entire front deck of the hotel is one sprawling wavy pool, dotted here and there with little Jacuzzi islands. The sports center offers volleyball, soccer, and basketball, while the Japanese spa offers a full range of massage and beauty treatments. The Kid's Club features a kids' pool and indoor children's recreation area. On the beach, the hotel offers volleyball and soccer, plus beach chairs and a lifeguard service. The hotel's Tapiro Grill is one of the better restaurants in town. The hotel was awarded Best Beach Resort in 2007 by the Guia Brasil guide.
Facilities: 4 restaurants; 3 bars; 4 large outdoor pools and children's pool; 3 Jacuzzis; sports center w/weight room; volleyball; basketball; soccer courts; children's game room; Japanese spa; sauna; business center; room service; laundry; 10 wheelchair-accessible rooms.
