Hotel Vila Gale Fortaleza

We had a great stay at Vila Gale, the rooms were clean and the food was decent. We stayed there for a week at the very end of 2007. The hotel is across the street from a very nice private beach. There is a beauty salon there which was very cheap, at least by our northern European standards (mani/pedicure around 5euros and 40min massage around 12euros). This hotel is far away (about 15 minutes in a taxi ) from downtown, but on the other hand the beach is much nicer in this area.

However there were some problems: I guess we were unlucky because they were setting up the annual new years eve festival while we were there so the pool area was closed for one and a half day. This would've been ok but we had a small baby with us so the beach wasn't really an option for us. They did not tell us about this beforehand. Also the pool bar and restaurant was closed on this last day of the year. At the same time they were doing something to the floor of the main buffet restaurant so the buffet was in a large conference room with very uninviting office like florescent lighting. There is a jazz bar at the hotel which was closed the whole time we were there.

I recomend this hotel if you want quality and safety

Unique Quality: The hotel is in front of Praia do Futuro beach. Accommodation and service is great. In the beach, you can live yours things alone because they have security personal to watch for them.
