Poor choice

Pictures did not tell the whole story. Only positives were the view of the river and the restaurant was decent. House keeping was not provided and no phone is room to request. Outdoor pool was across the street. But indoor pool, sauna and hot tub were decent as well.

The front desk was pleasant, it includes the water park at all the Natura hotels however it was closed in early September for the outdoor pools. The room was very large with 2 queens and a bunkbed. Fridge and micro in the room and a free drink at the bar or hotrocks. It included zoo admission at Timbavarti. The hot tub, pool and sauna were all very clean. No complaints at all for this hotel, close to downtown too.
