We were greeted at the ferry terminal (Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal) where we waited for about 5-10mins for the bus shuttle to take us to the hotel which was just another 5mins drive.

When we got to the hotel, all the staff were waiting for us with cold towels and a welcome drink. Dewi, who was very friendly and helpful checked us into our Garden Tent which wasn’t too far from the lagoon. We also opted for the bbq outside our tent which was great and I definitely would recommend it.

As for activities, there are plenty around the lagoon and you can opt for packages that fits your liking.

Unfortunately, we only booked for 1 night but we were not disappointed at all and will definitely be back.

P.S. you can hear your neighbours talking and music but it’s in tents glamping!

We had a blast and nice sunny weather and rain in the evening and at night The resort is superior, the staff is super friendly and useful. Breakfast buffet was great with a big varieties and charming chefs. We really enjoy our time and we'll probably to back again. We highly recommend it if you wanna get away for the weekend and do some water sports. The pool is impressive, very big and every well maintain. The ATV, segway ride was really fun and my family really enjoy it.

Such a great concept. Loved the round tents and all the furnishings. Feels like you’re on safari when you’re inside. We were upgraded to a lagoon view safari tent and loved it. So nice to have a view out to the lagoon and to have your own outdoor table, chairs and sun loungers plus you walk straight out your door on to the ‘beach’ and lagoon. The tents are really spacious, beds are comfortable and the outdoor bathroom is lovely. Loved showering in the fresh air and having such a big bathroom.

The service was excellent from check in to having things delivered to the room. The bar fridge was hopeless, even after receiving a new one, so we had to ask for buckets of ice. It was delivered to the room immediately. All the staff were lovely, polite and friendly however not up quiet up to Marriott standards. Hopefully they will improve over time and learn more about what western tourists expect. Apart from the bar fridge not being cold the main downfall at Natra is the restaurant and food. The pizza was basically a flat/pita bread with too much cheese that was only just melted - not nice and cooked/bubbly like a proper pizza. The food options could be improved. Not what you’d expect to find at a Marriott hotel. Drinks are very expensive - hence the need for a bar fridge or ice!

The lagoon is loving for swimming. Didn’t do any of the water activities. Spa options were almost double the price of the spa 5 mins away.
