Natal's BEST Kept Secret: CP Hotel Economic - Unbeatable Prices!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Natal's "BEST Kept Secret" – the CP Hotel Economic, with those tantalizing "Unbeatable Prices!" flags waving in the wind. This ain’t your five-star, butler-wielding experience (thank GOD, I can barely tie my own shoes), but after poking around, and let me tell you, I've poked around, this place is…well, hold on, let me grab another coffee.
First Impressions: The Good, the Quirky, and the “Where Am I?”
Okay, so the economic part is REAL. Like, "buy a whole box of Brigadeiros for the price of a single craft cocktail" real. The CP Hotel Economic isn't winning any architectural awards, mind you. Think solid, practical, with a healthy dose of the "hotel aesthetic" that whispers, "We've seen a few weddings, and a LOT of late-night snack runs." But hey, that’s part of the charm, right? It gets the job done, and that's what I appreciate.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But with Promise!
Accessibility is always a biggie for me, because, well, life happens. I noticed the hotel does have facilities for disabled guests. However, I didn’t see any specific details about specific accessibility features, so if this is critical for you, be sure to ask about specifics. They do have an elevator (thank heavens, after my climb up the staircases in the last place I stayed!), which is good to see.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe, a Little Obsessively So?
Right off the bat, I gotta say – they’re serious about cleanliness. Hand sanitizer everywhere you look like a swarm of tiny, vigilant sentinels. And all those little things they do to keep their guests well? chefs kiss Daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays (they actually say "Rooms sanitized between stays"!!), and individual wrapped food options. They're clearly taking things seriously, which is comforting. They also have anti-viral cleaning products, all with this air of quiet competence that made me feel like I could sleep soundly, knowing I wouldn't wake up with some sort of… well, you know.
The Room: No Frills, But…You Could Probably Live Here for a While.
Okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. The rooms? Functional. Not fancy, but functional. You’ve got your air conditioning, (a must-have in Natal, trust me), free Wi-Fi (bless the internet gods!), a fridge (stocked with… stuff, I'm guessing), and a mini-bar. There’s a desk (perfect for that last-minute work email, or ignoring work completely, no judgement), plus the basics: a safe(you know, what a great little panic-preventer), a TV (with the usual assortment of channels – and yeah, I did check out for a while with that particular series). They've got you covered in terms of creature comforts. And look, as someone who's lived in a glorified shoebox for months on end because of travels, the CP Hotel Economic? It felt practically palatial. I wasn’t constantly bumping into the furniture, which puts it miles ahead of some places I’ve been.
The Food & Drink: Fueling Your Adventures (and the Occasional Hangover)
Let's talk grub, shall we? The CP Hotel Economic is not aiming for Michelin stars. Expect pretty standard fare. The breakfast buffet is good. Nothing groundbreaking, but a solid start to your day. They have a western and asian options, a coffee shop, a snack bar, restaurants, a bar and a poolside bar! All these options were great to have and helped me take breaks from the hustle and bustle of my adventures.
Things to Do (and NOT Do): Relaxing vs. Ramping Up
Okay, so the CP Hotel Economic isn't a resort. There's no poolside DJ or a championship golf course. But there's a pool (outdoor!), and a gym/fitness area. But, if you're like me, and want those pamper vibes, you can relax with a spa! I am a body wrap and body scrub fanatic.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Mean Big Things
Here's where the CP Hotel Economic shines. They've got 24-hour room service (a godsend when the late-night munchies hit), laundry service, dry cleaning (if you’re fancy), luggage storage, and currency exchange. Super handy stuff. Bonus points for the free car park (yay! No stressing about finding a spot).
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location… and Taxis!
Natal is a city that’s meant to be explored. The CP Hotel Economic has a dedicated taxi service, and airport transfer. The city has lots of places to go! So while this place isn't right in the middle the city, the taxis and transfer options made it easy to get around.
For the Kids: Keeping the Little People Happy
They've got family-friendly options. The kids' meal options and babysitting services mean you can relax. So if your family is looking for a place to stay, this is a really great option.
Now, For the Unvarnished Truth and My Personal Take
Okay, here’s the deal. The CP Hotel Economic isn’t perfect. It’s a bit… utilitarian in places. But, and this is a BIG but, for the price? It's a steal. If you're a solo traveler, a budget-conscious couple, or a family who values practicality over pretension, this place is fantastic.
My "Best Kept Secret" Anecdote:
I had a slight… incident involving my room key (don't ask). I got locked out. And, I could see, through the little window in the door, my laptop, my phone, and all the chocolate I managed to smuggle in… I swear, I almost started crying. But the staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful and quickly got me back in. That’s the thing about this place. Even though it's "economic," the service is genuinely warm and efficient. That’s more valuable than any fancy lobby, in my book.
Final Verdict:
Would I stay here again? Absolutely. It's good value, clean, safe, and offers what you need without a lot of fluff. If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable basecamp for exploring Natal, the CP Hotel Economic is a solid choice.

Kingscliff Paradise: Stunning Pool & Spa Suite Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's carefully curated travel itinerary. This is Natal, Brazil, baby, and we're about to get gloriously, wonderfully, and probably messily lost in the heart of it. CP Hotel Economic, you say? Well, let's see what kind of chaos we can create. (Spoiler alert: a LOT)
Natal, Brazil: The "Let's Pretend We Know What We're Doing" Itinerary (AKA, a Hot Mess Express)
Day 1: Arrival & Beach Blunders (and Possibly a Near-Death Experience with Lunch)
- Morning (ish): Land in Natal. Seriously, how did I get here? The 10-hour flight felt like a lifetime. Thank god for noise-canceling headphones and copious amounts of terrible airplane coffee. My luggage, hopefully, didn't end up in Timbuktu. Let's hope the customs officers are merciful to this jet-lagged tourist.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated exhaustion, mixed with a healthy dose of "I can't believe I'm actually doing this." Oh, and a tiny bit of terror about the language barrier. Brazilian Portuguese? My two phrases are "Obrigado" and "Cerveja, por favor!" We'll see how that works.
- Afternoon: Check into CP Hotel Economic. Picture this: a slightly faded, but charmingly so, budget hotel. Let's just say it's got character. My room? Well, the A/C is… intermittent. But hey, a balcony! Time to assess the damage and unpack. Pray for no spiders.
- Quirky Observation: The hotel staff's smiles are ridiculously infectious. I suspect they're either really, really happy or secretly judging me. Probably both.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: My first attempt at Brazilian cuisine! Found a tiny, unassuming local shack, the kind that promises authentic food and questionable hygiene. I ordered something that looked like a big sausage and a side of beans and rice. It was delicious! Until…oh god…a rogue chili pepper.
- Anecdote: I seriously almost died from the spice. Tears were streaming down my face, my mouth was on fire, and I suspect I turned a rather fetching shade of crimson. The locals found it incredibly amusing. I think they even placed bets on how long I could last. Verdict? Not long. Next time I'll learn Portuguese for "mild."
- Evening: Stagger to Ponta Negra Beach. The sand! The waves! The sheer volume of toned, tanned bodies! Okay, focus. The beach is gorgeous, but the sun is already starting to dip, the perfect time to start taking pictures even though my camera isn't fully charged. People are starting to mingle and the sun rays are reflecting on the ocean.
- Emotional Reaction: Holy moly, is this real life? The beauty, the energy, the sheer… life of this place. (And the lingering burn from that chili pepper. Ugh.) The perfect time for the perfect photo, which I took a total of 50 times.
- Messy Structure: Okay, okay, getting distracted again. Must.Remember.Where.I.Am. Need to find a bar, stat. Need a caipirinha. And some water. And maybe a fire extinguisher… just in case.
Day 2: Dune Buggies, Sandboarding, and the Terror of Tourist Traps
- Morning: Dune buggy adventure. This is what I'm most excited about! This is supposed to be incredible, and the photos I've seen…are amazing. I hired a driver and we drove up enormous sand dunes. We screamed through the sand, laughing with pure glee. (Until I started regretting breakfast.) This is the feeling of freedom, of not caring, pure liberation.
- Anecdote: Imagine this: a tiny, flimsy buggy careening over massive dunes, with me screaming like a toddler on a rollercoaster. My driver, bless his heart, just kept grinning and hitting the gas. We were practically airborne at some points. I swear, I could feel my stomach trying to escape my body.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Sandboarding. I wanted to try it, and I fell…a lot. Face planted a few times. Ate sand. But, you know what? Absolutely worth it. The view from the top of the dunes was breathtaking. The bruises? A badge of honor.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Pure elation! The adrenaline rush, the feeling of flying (sort of), the sheer absurdity of it all… it was the perfect antidote to my introverted tendencies.
- Afternoon: Now, for the tourist traps. I went for the most popular ones. The shops were fine. The food was…expensive and okay. But oh, wait, the souvenir shops! I’m a mess.
- Opinionated Language: Look, I love a good souvenir. I really do. But some of these places are just designed to fleece tourists with overpriced trinkets. I ended up buying a brightly colored hammock and a hideous t-shirt. No regrets. Maybe.
- Evening: Back to Ponta Negra. This time, I'm going to actually enjoy the sunset. Find a more chilled-out bar. Maybe actually attempt to speak more Portuguese. And definitely order something milder than that chili pepper incident.
- Natural Pacing: Just…breathe. Soak it all in. This is what it's all about, yeah? The people. The food. The adventure. And the fact that tomorrow, I might be slightly less sunburnt.
Day 3: Relaxation, More Beaches, and a Possible Cultural Blunder (or Two)
- Morning: Sleep in. No seriously. Get some sleep. The pace of the last two days has been hectic. So I’m sleeping in and taking it easy.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon: Head to a quieter beach. Maybe Praia do Forte. Just chill. Swim. Read a book. (If I can find a comfortable position on the sand without getting covered in sand.)
- Doubling Down on a Single Experience: Today, I'm all about the relaxation. All about doing nothing. Just the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sun, and the feeling of being completely and utterly… present. It's something I've been trying to find in my life for a long time.
- Afternoon: Attempt to find more authentic, local food. This time, I'll master the art of asking for "not spicy." I'm going to become a connoisseur of local cuisine. Or at least, a survivor.
- Messy Structure and Occasional Rambles: Okay, food is important. But so is avoiding tourist traps. But also, finding authentic experiences. But also, having fun. But also, not getting sunburnt. But also…wait, what was I doing again?
- Evening: Find a bar in Natal that has live music. Learn the rhythm of Brazilian music . I’ll attempt to dance. I will most likely make a fool of myself. And I'll love every minute of it.
- Strong Emotional Reaction: As the sun sets, the sounds of the music gets louder. The people are becoming wild. I feel that I can keep up with them. I want to dance forever, feel that music forever, because this is so beautiful that I could cry.
- Stream-of-Consciousness: What a day. Now what? More food. More music. More everything!
- Honesty:
- Natural Pacing: Tonight, I will try to remember everything from today. I will be so tired, I will be passed out on my bed. I'm so happy.
Day 4: Goodbye (For Now?)
- Morning (ish): Sadly, say goodbye to Natal. Pack my luggage. Double-check for spiders. Get to the airport.
- Throughout the rest of the day: Reflect. Reminisce. Plan my return.
- Emotional Reaction: Bittersweet. Sad to leave, but so full of incredible memories. And a newfound appreciation for the power of coffee… and a mild chili pepper.
- Opinionated Language: And you know what? This whole experience - the good, the bad, the sunburn, the chili pepper of doom - it was freaking amazing. Go to Brazil. Go to Natal. Get lost. Get messy. Embrace the chaos. You won't regret it.
P.S. If anyone happens to see a brightly colored hammock and a hideous t-shirt, please know…I'm probably wearing them.
