Gran Mareiro Hotel

8/10 Good

"we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, the staff attention was superb, most of the workers were very friendly. there was something that we really liked and it was the wifi service, i was able to work at the pool and the wifi worked perfect. I never had a problem with the sevice."

Blue Tree Towers Fortaleza Beira Mar

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast offered a wide variety of options and was delicious. The room was clean and organized, and the bed linens and towels were in good condition. The only issue is that the rooms do not have microwaves. To warm up our baby’s milk, we had to go to the floor where the pool is located. The pool is small, and when we went swimming, there was still some algae residue in the water."

Hotel Beira Mar

10/10 Excellent

"My stay exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and in good condition. The location was optimal. I could walk along the beach and visit the amazing market, the ice cream, shop, and many restaurants. The area was lively and I always felt safe. The staff was truly outstanding. They were always friendly and helpful, and usually spoke English. The breakfast buffet had a large selection of local foods and was one of the best I have had in my many travels around the world. I highly recommend this hotel."
