Disappointing Stay in a Beachfront Hotel
1. Raw experience/value: Our stay left much to be desired. Location was excellent, with easy access to the beach and a beautiful swimming pool area, but overall experience was far from satisfactory. The lack of assistance during our late-night check-in, especially considering we had a toddler with us, was disappointing. Additionally, the room we were given was a long 4-minute walk from the entrance, which was inconvenient for us and our little one. 2.Cost/Benefit: At CAD 300 per night, including breakfast, we expected a higher quality experience. Unfortunately, the breakfast was a huge letdown, with barely any food available, which is particularly disappointing given Brazil's reputation for delightful hotel breakfasts. The room itself felt outdated, with old air conditioners, a rusty fridge, and an aged bathroom with a non-functional hot tub. Considering the cost, we did not feel like we received good value for our money. 3. A short story involving my experience: During our stay, we looked forward to enjoying a refreshing beverage by the pool after a day at the beach. To our delight, we discovered a beer machine near the swimming pool area. Sadly, this was one of the few positive experiences during our time at this hotel. In the morning, when we were eager to start our day with a hearty breakfast, we were met with a nearly empty buffet. Disheartened, we ended up leaving the hotel without breakfast, feeling that our expensive stay had not lived up to our expectations.

Nice suites in front of a beautiful beach
We stayed one night. Our suite 272 was perfect and quiet. Beach is beautiful but with big waves. Swimming pools are nice but overcrowded by the visitors who come only for a day use. Going for a dinner we heard a loud noise which could disturb the units close by. Our unit was far away. We loved our stay and we got on Hotels come a very good price.

Food poisoning, dirt, costly....... Keep clear!
Our honeymoon was ruined by this hotel. Very unclean, poorly kept, got food poisoning from the buffet that sits for hours. Rain poured loudly onto out balcony due to fauly guttering. Spa is poor, no vegetarian food and everything is very expensive. Seriously not worth your money!

Great swim pools by the beach
Despite a slow start due to our expedia booking was not in the hotel system (luckily they were not sold out) I'm happy with my stay. Vila do Mar is one of the oldest hotel on Via Costeira built in the 80's . Rooms are good size and clean. All of them have ocean view. You need to ask for a key to use room's safety box. The hotel is by the beach and has 4 great pools. My booking included 1 meal which we chose dinner, I would not recommend to get all meals included so you can enjoy the region culinary .

World Cup Bliss
We stayed here during the World Cup and couldn't have had a better experience. It was a bit far away from Ponta Negra but we had no trouble getting taxis to and from there. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful Would definitely recommend staying here.

Great ocean view, tranquility, and isolation
If you get an ocean view room, it will not disappoint. Overall, the facilities were clean, and most important, the WiFi worked. The glaring drawback is that this resort is off of the main road running north of Natal, close to Ponta Negra, and is thus very isolated. Beyond other nearby resorts, you will not within walking distance to any restaurants or stores. Should you desire isolation and the constant sound of the rough ocean, this is your place.

Great escape
Stayed here for just a couple of days during our World Cup trip and had a great time. The location is a little bit out of town but that is compensated for by the great views of the ocean and the sand dunes. Room was small but perfectly functional and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Great experience.

My paper\reservation said luxury room !! what a joke,,,,the room had no clock\ alarm clock, no hot water, the bed only had a tiny sheet no cover, air conditioning had no control and it rattle so loud !! it's either you freeze or turn it off and you can't breath too hot. when it broke down after 2 days they did not want to fix it ! I had to yell and bring my stuff in the lobby and laydown on the cough,,, for them to give me another room! you just touch the phone you are charged, weather or not you got connection!! and they don't tell you either,,, even when someone calls you, or even if it's in town,,,, 2 people called me, they never gave me my messages. you try to speak your best Portuguese no one cares or helps you, only when they found out I was Canadian then they tried to help me and understand. (they thought I was American) and there are NO activities and no entertainments,,, nothing!! I will never ever go there again!!

One night only
We only stayed at Hotel Vila do Mar for one night. We saw that the normal price for a night at the hotel is much more than what we paid, and I can't say I would have paid full price for a night's stay here. The place is under construction, so maybe things will be better by their World Cup deadline. The room was nice, although the floor could be redone and the tv had broken buttons. The hot water on the shower was a little tricky to work, but got the job done. We woke up at 7a to the sound of a jackhammer outside our window. That was great .... Otherwise, good food, right on the beach, nice pool area.

Excellent Location, Poor Rooms
I was there for couple of days end of February during a business trip. The location is unique, half way from the Punta Preta restaurants and the old city of Natal. The beach, the palms, the sand are amazing. It's simply a postcard location! The hotel is a bit old, the rooms need to be refurbished. They seems quite clean anyway. The service is very good, people there is very friendly and try to help. The meals are ok, nothing special.

Nice hotel
First the bad - you can clearly see from the beach side that the hotel is older and needs painting. The rooms are small but comfortable enough. Now the good - the other amenities are great though! Every single room has an ocean front view, the staff is very friendly, the food is delicious and one of the pools faces the ocean. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to spend a great time in this beautiful city.

Hotel Under Renovation
I just arrived back from a week trip in Natal, a beautiful, calm, relaxing part of the world lined with tranquil beaches. Originally I booked the Villa Do Mar for the week, but I retracted my want for the stay there after arriving and seeing the hotel empty and under construction. Unfortunately the hotel on the beach went years without maintenance; elevators not working, cracks in walls, falling paint from walls. Reminded me a little too much of the beach version of the shining. My rate was $77 a day, but would have risen to $97 per day after WIFI charges, which I require. The front desk was not so welcoming, and realized quickly that I was not satisfied. They asked if I would prefer a better room on the semi finished side of the hotel after my requesting a credit. The hotel has immense potential for being a pleasant resort to stay at in Natal. Its location is on the oceanfront, so no travel is required to relax in the sun on the beach. However, traveling a few miles to get to the main road where shops, restaurants and bars line the streets is required. I later booked at the Holiday Inn Express, nearby. Requires a short walk to the beach each day, but worth the exercise. Villa Do Mar has great potential, but for now stay clear.

Hotel is right on the ocean, but not near anything. It is away from restaurants, shopping, and other attractions. One really needs to have a rental car when staying at this hotel. Staff was friendly and some spoke English. On check out, hotel tried to get me to pay even though I had a prepaid reservation. This held up getting to the airport for an early morning flight. When this happened, they would only speak Portuguese to me, but fully understood the English I was speaking. Hotel is under major renovation and parts look like a war zone. To get to the hotel restaurant, one has to walk outside - which is okay unless it is raining. Beach is very narrow at this hotel.
