Fun Activities Galore!
I truly enjoyed the wide range of activities available, especially the zipline which offered amazing views over the resort. It was an adrenaline-filled experience that was well-organized and safe. Plus, the mini-golf and tennis courts kept the entire family entertained throughout our stay.

Comfort with a View
Our Mountain Facing Family Room was spacious and offered an very nice balcony view of the serene mountains and pools. Even though the rooms have a slightly old-fashioned charm, they were clean and comfortable, providing a cozy place to unwind after a day filled with activities.

Our stay at The Natal Spa was a mix of highs and lows. The facilities are impressive, especially the multiple pools and water slides, which made for a fun family getaway. Breakfast was a highlight with a great variety of food, but the room we got was a significant letdown, lacking cleanliness and comfort. Additionally, the management's communication about amenities and pricing was frustrating. Overall, while the experience had its bright spots, it fell short in several areas.

I had high hopes for my stay at Natal Spa, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The hotel itself looks quite uninviting, resembling a concrete block. While we did manage a nice evening dip in the hot pools, the rest of our experience was less than ideal, especially with service issues and room quality. Overall, it's not a place I'd recommend, especially not during winter.

My stay at Natal Spa was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the hot pools were lovely, and I enjoyed an evening dip. On the other hand, the room we received was small and not very appealing, resembling more of a basic setup than a welcoming accommodation. The service was inconsistent, with some friendly staff but also significant issues during our stay. Overall, it was not what I expected based on the hotel’s promotions.
