Crocobeach Hotel

“The best hotel in Praia Do Futuro and likely the best in Fortaleza city!”

I vacationed in Fortaleza several times so I know many things about this marvelous Brazilian city including the different areas and suburbs, which means beaches, hotels and people, among other facts. I am of the opinion that Praia Do Futuro is the beast beach in Fortaleza being the reasons that it is never crowded, there are so many "barracas" along the beach, it is far from downtown (I am aware for many others, this is a drawback but I see it positively), water is warmer, and locals are happier here. I had been incidentally staying in Crocobech hotel a couple of years ago (so before the pandemic) and since then I will never forget the kind and welcoming personnel working in this hotel. I recall Amanda, a talkative and easy-going receptionist who was always smiling and emanating good waves as well as Camilo, an amiable and efficient waiter working then in the restaurant, who knew Brazilian fruits so well specially the acerola served as dessert. I was so sad to learn that both of them are not in the Crocobeach anymore... but the current staff is equally charming and pleasurable! As I booked a half-board rate I was again able to savour the exuberant "all you can eat" dinner being so tasty in the pleasant environment of the restaurant. The variety of meals available are the typical of a Brazilian and Cearan menu and as a foreigner it is possible to get introduced to local flavors and delicacies in a didactical manner. The buffet breakfast has also a distinctive seal making Crocobeach a culinary paradise, which can also be extended to the Crocobeach barraca, which is part of the Crocobeach complex. Complimentary entrance to the Crocobeach barraca is included when booking a room in the hotel and discounts for meals and beverages are given. More remarkable features in the hotel comprehend the Business Center equipped with a desktop computer and a big table. Perhaps the addition of a printer would convert it in a full service unit. Wi Fi works great for guests with notebooks and mobile devices. The swimming pool is ample and has a second level in a first floor, which is particularly suitable to contemplate the astounding sunset. Waiters can serve meals and drinks while in the swimming pool area. When needing transportation, Cabify, 99 and Uber come very fast so although city center is far it is possible to arrive in 10 to 15 minutes. Unfortunately, and because of the pandemic, this time there were almost no Argentine customers, who provide a regional approach to the hotel climate. Guest rooms are modernly ambianced and that is one of the traits that atracts me to come back to this hotel once again! And would love to meet agents such as Amanda and Camilo in my next stay!
