I had an overall underwhelming experience at Natal Spa. While it's a familiar spot I enjoyed in the past, the recently steep entrance fees and hidden charges for activities really put me off. The restaurant had nice lunch options, but they felt overpriced for the portion sizes. The facilities were also lacking, with many pools closed for cleaning, which was disappointing.

The accommodations were adequate; however, the bathrooms and bedrooms appeared to be in good condition while the patio paving could use an upgrade.

The service at the entrance regarding the fees was misleading, as they changed the terms unexpectedly while we were swimming.

The location is decent, but the heavy traffic due to roadworks can add significant travel time.

We had a wonderful family weekend at Natal Spa, with clean and well-equipped chalets in a peaceful environment. The staff was helpful, and the various activities kept everyone entertained. The only downside was that one of our chalets wasn't ready upon arrival, but the staff made up for it with a later checkout. Overall, it’s a great place for a relaxing escape from city life, but the wellness center does require an extra pass.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location, and my balcony room had a lovely view, but unfortunately it’s marred by some needed repairs. The dining experience was a bit lacking with some cold food and an overwhelmed staff. With better maintenance and training, this hotel could significantly improve.

I had a wonderful experience at the resort! From the friendly staff to the wide range of activities for the whole family, it really was a great place for us. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although I noticed they could use some updates. Dining was enjoyable with good food, but I think they could offer more variety. Overall, it provided great value for the price we paid.
