Best hotels & accommodations in Fortaleza
This is a very busy hotel, with a nice compact sunbathing area near the swimming pool. The location is very central and you are only minutes away from the beach or shops ! I would recommend this place to older teenagers and young couples, though most of the guests I saw were elderly ! Food and drink prices were expensive for the quality.
The team it's just amazing all of them are kind even if I dont speak portuguese! They help me a lot ! The hotel is correct nothing special but clean et fonctionnal.
Great location & place to stay
It was good. Not a 10 though. I travel around and this hotel is more like a 8 or so.
The hotel Villamaris is located just one block from the beach. Reception stuff is very helpful and you can store your luggage till 18h the next day. Breakfast is good with a wide choice of fruits, juices, bread, cakes... My room was ok for one but very small for two persons.
this hotel is in the heart of beira mar, across the street from lots of restaurants/cafes as well as the beach.
Nothing wrong with this hotel if you are coming to Fortaleza to stay as cheaply as you can in a newish, clean, safe choice of hotel. Cheaper than anything similar, maybe because further from the beach than the competition. (or maybe because some noisy construction in progress.)Bed comfortable, good quiet AC, free cable internet, decent cable TV, pool and gym, routine b...
Good location, nice staff. No complaints.
This is a large hotel which needs updating. The bathroom in the appartment was small, old and in desperate need of an overhaul. That said, the main bedroom itself is large and airy with good air conditioning, albeit it loud. The hotel is a high building and the wind from the sea whips around the building and at times can keep you awake at night. Breakfast is typi...
fast and excellent work at the frontdesk. got good advice on restaurants. open wifi at the lobby, but hard to connect in the room, given pass not working. cannot rate the breakfast as i did not use it. room was clean and practical. i could keep car and lugagge in the hotel for some hours after checkout.
The hotel is fine for an overnight stay. The rooms are small but bathrooms large and very clean.
frukosten var väldigt bra och läget vid stranden också väldigt bra, men personalen i reception var dålig, horor ringde fritt till rummet och chefen i reception bara bad om ursäkt.poolen var inte i så bra skick heller. Ponto do ingles bara 10 minuter att gå till.Bra hotell annars förutom receptionen.
the rooms are not large but adequate. breakfast is buffet style but most items are not protected from flies. typical brazilian fare. close to beach but be careful as there are many street tramps living in the road.
The location is perfect as you can easily access to Avenida Beira Mar and the beach. Perhaps only 3 minutes walk. The hotel is a bit old so cannot expect it to be modern and high end. But still you should think about the price and it is completely a good place to stay. Staffs are not the best but still willing to help you and some of them can speak English. Breakfast i...
Excellent hotel for a quiet and realxing holiday, no hassle, no noise, just a nice atmosphere
very easy acess, silent, pool, most atractive view of beach, very good breakfast and service room. Many options for visit other beachs in the Ceará. Good Localization, easy acess to city center and popular center.
good
Not a hotel I will recommend, nainly due to staffs arrogant attitude, 90 R$ for 2 towels (equal to 52 US$) they claimed I had made ireversibel dirty (I think the staff like to make easy money)
on the internet this hotel sounded really nice. it´s location was in fact a bit off. they only spoke brazilian. if you plan on using the internet there´s wi-fi but you´ll have to bring your own laptop.
The hotel was nicely decorated for Christmas, and had its own Santa's Grotto. Tg he pool area overlooks the beach and is hardly used. The outdoor bar area overlooks the beach too and is great for watching the world go by.
Good option in Fortaleza, prefer rooms in front (with view)
Overall it was a good place to stay. Staff at front desk treated me like a typical tourist gringo and weren´t flexible enough to let me enter my room early despite having requested it. Cleaner walked into our room early. Pool was ok but fountain didn´t work. No real ocean views but a pretty good location. Overall it was pretty good, but get a high room to avoiad noise....
however wifi was promised there was not only josario speaks english but was not often in the hotel enough service but......the language.i propose for basic english. my booking price in the beginning was not in line with the hotel when i arrived.
Checked in to this socalled 3* hotel, which should at the most be 2*... Terrible beds and showers, and room not clean at all. Only good thing with breakfast, would be not trying it.
Rooms are ok, but not very special. Location is walking distance to great beach, but it's about 15 km from city center, night life etc, so depends on your preference. Staff was not very attentive and sometimes even rude. Alltogether I think there are better hotels than this one.
unless you are in the demographic of middle-aged (or older) single italian male, steer clear of this hotel. no fee for guest to join makes the casa blanca very popular with the euro love tourists in fortaleza. nothing out of the ordinary to note here, except the breakfasts fresh and varied. whoever is buying the fruit is a real connoisseur. comfortable enough sleeping ...
Not oro bad
We arrive there and they did not have our reservation in their system. No staff speaks english. Then they gave us a room that looked like an old timy garage, smelly, small,m linens so old it seems they belong to a prison. Atmosphere is exactly that of an old forties prison, no nice decoration, ugly colors, depressing!! My friend and I hesitated in taking another real h...

Cheapest hotels in Fortaleza
The hostel was located very close to the beach, but a little bit in not such a good street. The rooms with 9 beds were really small. Overall it was very clean and the atmosphere was very nice. They had a little terace to sit and a bar downstairs. The stuff was really nice and helpfull even though they didn't speak english that well. I would come back to this hostel!

Very basic hotel close to Croco Beach (beach club) at Futuro Beach. Although it is listed as a three stars hotel, it is more like a one star establishment. Maybe they threw in the extra stars because the hotel has a pool.

We had a lot of fun because of the steady flow of people going in and out...;-)

Clean and safe location. Good breakfast and WiFi. Helpful and friendly staff. A bit far from the centre of Fortaleza, though that didnt matter to me. All in all a good deal.
Not oro bad
I booked this hotel during one weekend of the Confederation Cup when most other hotels were fully booked. Agoda said that the only room available was the quadruple room so I had to bite the bullet and take it even though I was a one person group. The hotel is not located in a safe part of Fortaleza, kinda tucked away in a neighborhood,up off the beach. The staff was...

More about Fortaleza
A vacation in Fortaleza is mainly about swimming, sunning, and partying. Well-known throughout Brazil for its magnificent beaches, most visitors to Fortaleza seek waterfront accommodation in close proximity to restaurants, cafés, and nightclubs. Each of Fortaleza's beaches are quite distinct from each other and attract different crowds – tourists head to Meireles, party people and bohemians hang out in Iracema where dolphins can sometimes be spotted, and Praia do Futuro is for swimming and surfing. Iracema is the most central to downtown Fortaleza and has the biggest choice of restaurants, clubs, and cafés.
Away from the beach, the city itself is worth exploring and visitors will find plenty of restored colonial-era buildings. For those seeking a higher form of culture, the Dragão do Mar Center of Art and Culture always has something worth seeing – from contemporary art exhibitions to folk history to star-gazing sessions at the center's planetarium.
