Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Two couples went to Fortaleza and spent 15 days, we stayed in the Landscape building, which is located on Meireles beach, facing the sea and has a lot of security. But I don't think we are going to return, because although the area is nice, for walking, we like to enjoy the beach and some baths in the sea, but the water was contaminated by sewage outlets, so to enjoy the sea, We took a taxi and went to Praia do Futuro, about 20 minutes away.
Therefore, my recommendation is that before taking tickets, you must investigate whether the sea in the area is in a condition to be used for bathing, that is, that it is not contaminated.

Meireles Beach is a wide sandy beach right in the center of Fortaleza. It is really nice, but generally quite crowded. All along the beach are small restaurants. Look out here for "lagosta grelhada", which means grilled lobster. For just 12 dollars (US) you can have the lobster lunch or dinner of your life!

Good place for walking specially on mornings. The sidewalk sometimes has some holes but it is ok, it is not a trouble. Sunscreen and a hat is necessary.

That’s the famous Meireles beach you can see on postcards, with a beautiful promenade, luxury buildings, 5 stars hotels etc. In the morning is visited especially by tourists. You’ll barely see a local bathing in this beach. What they most like to do here is just wander, I mean, walking around.
And it’s a great beach to do so, to go for a jogging, to stroll with your family, to flirt, to drink a beer, to see limousines and luxury cars passing by (Fortaleza is the Brazilian city with the second highest number of imported cars), and to go shopping in the handicraft fair. Just a tip, it’s way better to buy things here than in the Market City. Here you can find the same things and cheaper. Another tip, every day after 10 pm some sellers come and scatter their products over there on the floor and they are normally cheaper then the products of the same fair. I bought it there myself several times.

If you would like to walk just for relax or if you like to exercise its the best place in Fortaleza. You can go to take a breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is many restaurants around and beautiful and friendly people. Don't go away without drink " Agua de coco" e "tapioca". Beautiful sunset !!

I don't recommend to enjoy the beach. We were mugged and one of the robbers tried to hurt us. (They r a kind of pickpockets)
Being inside the beach bars which are less exposed to the beach is ok.

Hola, yo fui en febrero y si tenes en cuenta el tema de que la marea este alta, es hermosa, en febrero había un poco de algas pero quedaban en la arena, a mi me encantó, volvería sin ninguna duda. Saludos

Bom dia gostaria de saber um transporte barato para ir em jericoacoara CE, somos em 3 ida e volta esta dando 500,00 reais ):....alguem sabe de um transporte mais barato?
agradeço
Written 20 February 2019
Boa tarde! Estivemos aí em dezembro e pagamos R$ 130,00 por pessoa. Pegamos indicação no Hotel onde estávamos hospedados. Eles tinham vários para indicar. Mas não gostamos do restaurante que eles nos levaram na Lagoa do Paraíso, que faz parte do trajeto. Era muito fraco, banheiro horrível, sem condições de uso. Procure se informar em qual barraca de praia e eles irão na Lago do paraíso, antes de comprar o passeio. Infelizmente não me recordo dos nomes, nem da agência, nem da barraca.

Difícil poder ajudar, pois quando estive lá, não existia a desordem de hoje. Mas como a viagem é em abril 19, possivelmente as coisas estarão normalizada. Assim esperamos.

Hola! estamos pensando viajar a Fortaleza en pareja y con una niña de 5 años.. El hotel donde nos queremos hospedar queda en la zona de Meireles.. leo en comentarios de años anteriores que el mar está contaminado y no es apto para bañarse... me podrán confirmar? ademas quiero saber si es recomendable alquilar un auto oara visitar otras playas y si por el agua tibia que mencionan hay riesgo de tiburones como en Recife. gracias!!!
Written 27 December 2018
Hola : la zona de Meireles para mi es la mejor para hospedarse. Yo también leì que estaba contaminada, la gente se mete igual y no hay ningún cartel, mi marido se metió un día . Pero en Meireles te podes tomar un colectivo y te vas a Praia de Futuro y te vas a pasar el día. Yo conocí Lagoihna , Morro Branco y Praia das Fontes , y Canoa Quebrada , pero en excursion, así que con lo del auto no puedo ayudarte. En realidad si te importa mas que nada la playa , yo iría unos días a Fortaleza, pero después me iría a Jericoacoara. Todo también depende de que época quieras ir , ya q hay una temporada lluviosa , eso lo tenes que evaluar.
A la noche Meireles es muy concurrida, tenes un montón de lugares donde comer y para recorrer . En Meireles tenes movilidad para todos lados en colectivo, podes ir al centro donde esta el Mercado y la Catedral, o ir a Iracema a conocer. Tenes el espigón donde finaliza la Ferihna con lindas vistas durante el día, y donde podes ir a ver el atardecer , o a la noche ya que esta iluminado . No se cuantos días tenes , pero yo repartiría los días.
Buen viaje

Estou indo a Fortaleza fim de Janeiro. Passarei 6 dias. Podem me dar dicas de praias boas e lugares para comer e me divertir?
Written 22 December 2018
A praia do Meireles é muito boa, fica perto de tudo, tem bastante opção para almoçar ou jantar, mas a água é imprópria para banho, nela também tem a feirinha do artesanato, eu fiquei no hotel Mareiro, muito bem localizado, ótimo hotel, recomendo às praias de Dunas, que é a do Beach park, muito limpa e bem cuidada, tem vigilantes e vários salva vidas, e se quiser ainda pode entrar no Park. Outra praia que não pode deixar de conhecer é a do Cumbuco, onde vc pode fazer passeios de bug com emoção e ainda dá para fazer esqui bunda nas dunas. Tem também a praia de Lagoinha, muito linda, lá da para fazer 3 passeios em um só, de pau de arara, barco e bug, todos por 60 reais por pessoa. Se vc quiser curtir boas praias vai ter que sair de Fortaleza, as melhores prais ficam fora dela. E não esqueça de passar protetor solar na sola dos pés também. Espero ter ajudado.
