Disliked: Amenities
Its an older property that's in need of a major upgrade. The rooms and hotel in general were just okay. R$6 for a bottle water in the room was pricey. Also, I am sure I booked a room with a partial sea view but when I arrived I was told that I hadn't booked one and after arguing a bit, I was given a "courtesy" upgrade. Totally unnecessary.

It was wonderful walking into the lobby, and realizing we were going to be staying here. The food was excellent, the service was great and apart from a couple minor bumps this was easily the most enjoyable experience I've ever had at a hotel. Loved the city of Fortaleza as well.

Hotel close to the beach. Kind staff but less efficient, no luggage carried. Old furniture a bit degraded. Catched some cockroaches in room. Wireless available only for one user. Good food but less cared, cakes exposed to flies. In short, is an hotel for a pleasant stay at beach without waiting to have some comfort details.

Across the street from a beautiful beach
Would have given it 5 starts if it had free internet in the rooms. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby and has a fee for the rooms (does not cost too much). But connection is spotty in the rooms. If you want beach location, it is great. Right across the street from a very nice beach. And they have beach chairs/umbrellas free for guests.

Perfect location and layout
I was traveling with my 17 year old son for World Cup and spent 3 nights at the Vila Gale. All in all it was a very good experience with a perfect location on Future Beach. The hotel is very spacious with a good layout that connects restaurant to pool to beach. Ocean breezes were definitely appreciated as the inland humidity was sometimes stifling during our visit. On site restaurant and pool bar were very good.
