I really wanted to like this hotel...but it just wasn't in the cards. The negatives really outweigh the possitives. Let me preface this by saying that I am fluent in Portuguese, so communication was not an issue. Here is a quick rundown: Cons: -Location. Very dangerous at night. Only travel by taxi and never walk around the area; you can... More

Vila Gale Fortaleza is a reasonably acceptable hotel. Level-wise, it resembles a bad European four-star hotel. I feel that maybe it was ok. for the price btu I am not sure that I would go back to it if I had a choice. There were some problems witht he staff and at some point I felt they find me a... More

We spent 07 days with our kids (02, 07 and 09 years old) at Vila Gale Fortaleza, on 2012/july. You just need to cross the street to reach the sand in Praia do Futuro, which is a very good and nice beach for the family. The hotel has a good infrastructure at the beach and their food there is quite... More

The hotel is big, but a big lack of cordiality at the reception desk. I would think twice before coming back.

We stayed there in 2008 and the service, room and facilities were very good value for money. This was the reason why we went back. However this time it was different. Reception didn't have our details (considering we booked a month in advance), and weren't forth coming. When we finally got to the room, the toilet seat was broken and... More

The friendly people of the hotel put a lot of effort into entertaining their customers by organising special dinner nights with music, courses of aerobic dancing in the pool (well it looked like that), and other...

Never considering, however is the 6th time that I go in Fortaleza!! Crucial staff shortage, with frontdesk, at the restaurant, the bar!!! Even if employees in place makes the max, they can! Reservation by Internet not respected! No shuttle service towards the downtown area… envisage a "taxi" budget! Not tourism agency present on site… very nice to organize excursions !!... More

Fortaleza has one major problem: the beach is polluted in the most central area, when the hotels are located. And, on the only clean beach in the city (praia do Futuro), the neighbourhood may not be safe. Vila Galé is located on the clean beach. It is a good hotel, with big rooms (with just average maintenance, as our AC... More

The place was ok, the service over-all friendly, However, the standards were in my opinion quite low for the price and what they advertised. We were on our honeymoon, and a double bed consisted of two single beds pushed together. The pool area was full of broken plastic beach chairs. They would only give one beach towel per guest, so...
