The hotel pool is large

Porto das Dunas Resort Information

The beach at Porto das Dunas also includes the largest marine life park in Brazil. The beach is covereed with dunes and is less fine than some further south. But it easy to reach from several hotels. Only 10 miles from Fortaleza it is popular with at weekends and on holidays. It takes only half an hour to reach the restaurants and nightlife of thje city`s southern quarter.

The best hotel is the Beach Park complex which offers only large suites and is good value except in High Season.

E from Holland found it costly.

"On Sunday the Carnival had arrived big time. To avoid the masses a bit, my sister and I went to Beach Park, that is 45 minutes drive (with taxi mini-bus) from Fortaleza centre. A great idea! We splashed in the water, tried the slides, floating around on inflatable tyres and were seduced to ride the highest slide in the world. This slide is 41 m high, consists of a more or less free fall of 30 m and is not without reason called 'Insano'. Although I think it is quite brave that I was insane enough to slide down on it, I will not recommend it to anybody. The smaller slides with nicely rounded turns do more for me. There we found most other people. Nevertheless, daredevils can have sufficient joy with three other more or less vertical slides. A day out at the Beach Park with the whole family does cost a fortune. We (two adults) spent £60, just on the entrance fee and a simple lunch. But we had a great day out - there really is enough to do for all ages and tastes. And if you take your own food and drink, you might even afford a souvenir! "
