Nice. So that's 11 days? I would maybe pop off to Pipa in between matches, since it's a very beautiful and charming spot. Don't get me wrong regarding the above post about Pipa, I really like it there and I'm there at least 2 times per month. But staying in Pipa for like 2 weeks would be horrible for me, because of all the hippies and surfer kids.
Also I think you could consider doing day trips to Pirambu, Pirangi, Genipabu and even Sao Miguel de Gostoso. Just go to the beach and enjoy.
Natal is also very diverse. While Ponta Negra is the tourist trap so to say, the center of Natal (Petropolis and Tirol) contains some of the better restaurants and clubs. It's the fancier hoods we have here.
It's very easy to get stuck in a routine here, i.e. do the beach during the day and bars at night. Try and see stuff, go for a buggy rental or something.
