Delicious Buffets

I was blown away by the food at the resort! The buffet dinner and breakfast options were simply divine with a huge selection to choose from. Every meal felt like a treat, and I especially loved the chicken salad that I had for dinner. Fresh, tasty, and plentiful! Can't wait to return for more.

Spa Pampering

My visit to La Vita Spa was truly refreshing. The treatments were relaxing and the atmosphere was incredibly soothing. I indulged in a massage that left me feeling rejuvenated. This was the perfect way to unwind after enjoying the hot spring pools. Highly recommended for anyone needing a relaxing escape!

Immaculately Clean Rooms

The room I stayed in was nothing short of immaculate. It was spacious, freshly cleaned every day, and had all the comforts I needed. The large, comfortable bath towels were a nice touch, and I appreciated the warm water in the shower. It felt like a home away from home.

Fun Activities Galore

My family and I had an amazing time engaging in all the activities offered. We particularly enjoyed the guided Zipline which provided lovely views and great safety measures. We also tried horse riding, which was thrilling and educational. There's never a dull moment at this resort!

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.

5.0/10

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.
