Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you visit Natal city in Brazil you must go to Genipabu Beach. There are many restaurants around and attractions for family. The view from the top of the dunes is amazing. You can see the the main beaches of Natal from there.

It's a good tip to take a trip to this beach, you can enjoy the sea and it offers optional quad bike rides and buggy rides in the dunes.
I recommend the buggy ride, it's very beautiful and radical, it has wonderful descents that give you butterflies in your stomach. Whoever you are, don't miss out!!
I complain a little about the beachfront restaurants, are they well structured and clean? Yes, they offer a great service...but they have little variety of snacks and the prices for meat are quite expensive. It's another place to stay while at the beach and really enjoy it.

The dunes are wonderful, it's worth taking a tour of the mobile and fixed dunes. The ride with experienced buggy drivers is exceptional, lots of emotion and adrenaline. The photos sold at one of the stops could have been better and better shown the size of the dunes we passed and not just the people inside the buggie. I bought the photos for 70 reais, but I expected more.

We took a buggy tour with Marcílio in Natal, we did the north and south coast and we simply loved it.
Marcílio is an excellent professional, super attentive, helpful. He explained about several tourist attractions, told a little about the history of each one, took several photos, took us to very good support points, and the tour was very emotional hahah. I highly recommend the work!

It is a special beach to go with children. The coral thread forms two main pools. It is about 20 minutes by car along the Natal coast to the north. They rent a parasol. warm waters

It is beautiful but dangerous with buggies driving constantly on the beaches. Can t bring children there. And the beach. Is littered with tables and chairs eating up most of the space. Also many shouting people trying to attract you to paying parkings.Shops selling Chinese low quality. Food overpriced and. Amateurishly cooked in aluminium with cheap oil and dubious water.

Wonderful place! The entire route of the Buggy tour was well explained by the Driver and Guide Marcílio! The dunes are beautiful, coming to Natal and not taking this tour is the same as not coming. Wonderful experience!

The route between Natal and Genipabu is along the coastal route and is very beautiful. Arriving there we were lost where to park and the approach to park. Selling tours and driving to the stalls is exhausting. We looked like a boiled egg in front of hungry people. We recognize everyone's work, but it gets boring. And real estate salespeople are very annoying. Finally, we stayed in a tent and got the affordable price from Brahma Litrão. We were offered a meal and shown the fish. We don't risk it. We ended up eating curd cheese and pepperoni sold by street vendors. Good place is beautiful. The photos we took by a seller who uses our own cell phone were worth it. He didn't give a price, but we paid $37.50 based on our decision. The camels were not there. April, low season, according to information they had gone to Fortaleza. Would we go back: yes.

We have been to Natal 3 times and each trip we are surprised by the exuberant nature
I've already taken 5 buggy tours in Natal (always with him) and I never tire of recommending Marcílio
Always friendly, polite and honest
Always taking you to the best places
So you know, go to Natal and look for Marcílio to take you for a walk and collect memories

Qual a melhor barraca para passar o dia, tomar banho e mar e comer bem em Genipabu?
Written 6 January 2021
Já fiquei no restaurante O Pescador. Os pedidos demoram um pouco, mas a comida tem qualidade.

Estamos agora no restaurante Mirante Jenipabu. Muito bom! Banheiro, ducha de água doce, petiscos bons, visual incrível! Bom atendimento. Mais conforto que as barracas de praia. E os preços muito bons!

Hola... Pensamos estar pronto en natal y nos interesaría ir a Genipabu. Quisiera saber si las excursiones que se contratan desde Natal incluyen el paseo en dromedarios o hay que contratar allá. También si en las playas puede realizarse snorkel. Gracias a quienes puedan ayudarme.

El dromedario se hace en el medio de la excursión de genipabu. Luego de los dromedarios sigue un poco más en buggy

Hola! MI consulta es, ¿cuanto km de natal esta? ¿cuantos km de pipa? Se llega en transportes accesibles?
Written 23 January 2019
Olá Sabriniro, a pousada Villa do Sol fica há 15km de natal. A praia de Genipabu é belíssima, mas é uma praia nativa. Possui apenas restaurantes próximos à pousada. Ela possui restaurante com comida de boa qualidade e um bar chamado Zé do Cacau vizinho a essa pousada onde há peixe muito gostoso e uma excelente carne de sol.

Outra coisa Kelly ficamos depois em Genipabu numa pousada chamada Villa do Sol, linda, mas é deserta, sem estrutura. Para quem quer fazer os passeios as empresas não pegam quem fica em Genipabu.
