Porto do Mar literally means 'gate of the sea' and this is indeed the first hotel on the Via Costeira from downtown Natal. Simple bedrooms are clean and well-maintained and the pool area is great for topping up your tan. The mellow mood continues after sundown so you'll probably want to venture out in the evenings. Just a ten minute taxi ride away are the bars and restaurants of Ponta Negra, where you can enjoy an intimate meal and a couple of wind-down cocktails or a full-scale night on the tiles which stretches into the early hours ? the choice is yours. This unpretentious property is close to the excitement but laid-back and relaxing enough not to wear you out - so you can dip in and out of the action whenever the feeling takes you.
