Beaches are the top draw in this sunny, rapidly developing city, particularly bohemian, party-hearty Iracema, family-friendly Meireles, fishing and boating base camp Mucuripe and low-key Praia do Futuro. Stalls at the Mercado Central or Feirinha Beira Mar brim with local handicrafts, ranging from ceramics to lacework and leather goods. The Dutch-built Fortress of Nossa Senhora da Assunção in the city center, constructed in 1649, marks the spot where Fortaleza originated.

We stayed here for 2 nights and were really happy with the location, it is really easy to walk to the beach and restaurants and we got a bit of a seaview from our balcony. It was nice to have a few swimming pools to choose from and the fitness centre was big and had everything we could possibly need. The receptionists tried to speak English and where they couldn't, used Google translate to help us out. The kitchen was handy to have and the room had everything we needed, the bathroom was quite outdated and the bedroom was tiny, there was barely room for us to walk around the bed! The only problems we had were the size of the bedroom and bathroom and also that some signs on the lifts saying cinema room etc led to nothing which was a bit strange!

There were good and not so good points. Good points: low price (but you get what you pay for), friendly staff, just a block to the beach and good dining, patio w/ocean views, breakfast was decent, fridge bar had beer and chocolate. Not so good: a/c only in bedroom, old and dilapidated bldg, furniture/linens/towels were cheap and uncomfortable, tv only in bedroom, shower leaked water onto bathroom floor, our floor had a constant reeking cigarette smell, kitchen ware was limited and pretty much useless. Overall however, I prob would stay again due to price/location but I would go prepared and ask more questions before booking.

This was my first stay in a (serviced) apartment that too all by myself. Since the tariff of hotels in Fortaleza is high, I opted for this apartment through booking.com after reading through reviews on multiple sites. I was happy to see that the apartment is well furnished with amenities. It has a fridge, 4 burner gas stove, microwave, electric kettle, utensils and cutlery etc. This would be easy and sufficient for a short and long stay cooking provided someone wanted to. The bathroom is clean and decent and soap and shampoo is provided. There is a small pool at the ground floor, which I never visited or utilized as I was busy with conference. There is a security guard at the main entrance who opens and shuts the main gate every time someone comes in or leaves. However, he doesn't really stop to verify anyone's credentials as he or his colleagues (rotation duties) seem to know the guests. They also help in calling a cab or some small help in directions though language is a challenge. I used sign language and google translator. The cleanliness is good and there is a maid who comes in and cleans the apartment and clears garbage from bins during the day once we go out. There is a good view from balcony, in fact I could see the sea. The location is good, accessible, and seemed like relatively safe neighbourhood (I walked alone at 1.20 am from Beira Mar to apartment !!). It is about 3 blocks away from the beach and hotels on Beira Mar as well as the evening market. Though I did not utilize, there are pharmacies and supermarket nearby and even the local buses ply at a 200 m distance. Even taxi can be called (by security guard) or if one wants, can go upto Beira Mar or main road junction and can get a taxi easily. A few negative points - The apartment that I had (#1204), the balcony door latch was not working. I believe it is safe (as nothing ever happened during my stay) but if someone wants can enter the apartment through that. There is no fan in living room, and I didn't really need it as the weather was pleasant. It may get a bit noisy if neighbours are loud. I had a bad experience. The main door latch gave me trouble on the last day of my stay and took major operation and about 5 hrs to get fixed, in the process spoiling my plans of roaming on the beach with my friends and colleagues from nearby Hotel. However, I must admit that these are very nice and helpful people who solved the problem without any complaint. In fact the language challenge apart, everyone was quite cool about it. And finally Mr Enrico came in alongwith Mr Marcello and the security guard and very patiently and meticulously changed the inside part of the lock from another unoccupied apartment. Overall, I found the Brisa Do Mar a very comfortable, independent unit with relatively safe stay within budget.

Apartamento em frente à praia de Meireles alugado no Hotéis ponto com paredes sujas, exaustor imundo, tomadas engorduradas. Liguei no Hotéis ponto com eles disseram que não tinha outro flat disponível. Outra coisa desagradável foi ao chegarmos a Fortaleza nos ligaram avisando que o apartamento não estaria disponível as 14:00hrs. Não recomendo

Bom hotel, boas instalações, excelente localização e preços adequados. Uma ótima opção. O hotel duca à Beira-mar em frente à estátua de Iracema e bem próximo ao mercado dos pescadores de Mucuripe e ao lado da excelente sorveteria 50 sabores. Perto tem o parque bom pra relaxar.

I highly recommend this place. It has been great staying here. I have stayed for 6 nights now and i might extend. The place is cleaned daily, i like to quiet, functioning WiFi and the proximity to the beach. All these combined and more has made my stay here worthwhile. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Flat in the seaside promenade, best location Fortaleza, sea front with room service, bed linen change and bath, garage with valet and 24 hour reception.
Location was good, near Meireles beach which has a lot of restaurants. But note that Meireles beach isn't good for swimming, so you would need to take a cab or bus to Praia do Futuro. The hotel itself is very outdated, I could barely open the sliding bathroom door. The pool (which is very small, like an oversized bathtub) wasn't open to the public but no one told us anything when we made our reservation. I would not recommend this hotel.

Ho Soggiornato una settimana in questo stabile, posizionato splendidamente al centro della beira mar. Appartamento molto carino , nuovo e con una vista ottima . Sicurezza e disponibilità del personale , oltre alla presenza di lavanderia diverse piscine e palestra. Unico neo la paderia posizionato al piano terra , direi molto scarsa sia sulla qualita’ dei prodotti sia sul servizio approssimativo e non professionale
