他们的亲切有礼不做作
你的第二个译法比较切近人情事理。
意思是，他们的亲切有礼，自自然然，不会让人觉得是装作出来的。

看来，我这里翻译成天性也许不妥，应该是自然的意思

他們天生令人愉快﹐彬彬有禮。
你自己的第一個意思最接近“他们天生礼貌而友好”﹐但pleasant翻成礼貌有些不夠充分(或引申過度﹐見仁見智)。句子中沒有“不做作”的意思。
可改為﹕他們天生令人愉快﹐彬彬有禮。
根據上下文﹐naturally還有可能是certainly的意思。 in that case﹐ 可譯為﹕他們自然會/一定會令人愉快﹐彬彬有禮。

SORRY﹕pleasant翻成“友好”有些引申過度。pleasant的人多半會令人感到友好。但態度友好的人﹐天性不一定pleasant。
