Fortaleza info seems quite old..
Sorry Pluto2, but I've 2 questions:
Telephone number in Fortaleza begins with 3 and after there are 7 numbers, so, a normal number is
3283 4486 (8 numbers in total)
And it's so from 2004, October; so, your phone numbers seems quite old. The same from Desigual: last summer was closed; the boate changed owner and position, with bad results; Africa too was a bad option, too much better Kapital, Cafè del Mar, Bikini Bar e Europa Bar.
If I'm wrong, many changes in months.
Just my 2 cents
Waiting for news,
Forty

Like Rio's "Help". Many foreigners go here. No admission. Club Africa next door takes over when this club is full. Several other clubs all within walking distance.
Better places for stay in Fortaleza
Hi, Bambino, some news for you.
The best beach (=praia) is Praia do Futuro, with good service, restaurants and shows (music alive) in the evening. You have to check this places: Coco Beach, Atlantis, Chico do Caranguejo and Croco Beach, all the taxy drivers know them, bus drivers too.
The beach is a bit far from the nigthlife action, so i think is better to stay in hotel in Beira Mar, or in Abolicao (first avenue after Beira Mar),that has many flats for rent.
In Praia do futuro, more in the evening, there are most of girls you can find at nigth (enough looking for micro bikini (= fiu dental) and piercing, they are like a badge...); obviously, there are also normal girls, especially in weekends, and semi-pro.
More of the waiters can help you in choice and contacts, with a little tip!
Travel costs abot 8 $ (15-20 R$) from Beira Mar, only 1.60 R$ with bus.
In Beira mar barracas (=estlablishments) are uncomfortable, the action is good, but you have to be more more careful.. there are thieves, envolved in drugs, in girls too, with lower quality of them.
Hotels in Beira mar cost about 80-100 R$ (Ibis Fortaleza, Sol Jangada, Comfort Hotel, Esplanada Praia) or more (Ponta Mar, Parthenon Golden, Luzeiros, Hotel Quality).
Good choice are the flats in Abolicao: Via Venetto, Spazzio, Brasil Tropical, Fortaleza flat, etc (80-100 R$ with clounge and kitchen).
Beira Mar and Abolicao have low nightlife (only in front of Mc Donald and Pizza Hut there GDP or SW), so you have to go in Praia de Iracema (Cafe do mar, etc), ONLY WITH TAXI AT NIGHT (especially when you're going back) , no pay more of 10R$ .
I'll post some photo in the Photo section, hope you like (she's a very wonderful girl from Beira mar).
Happy hunting and waiting for your report, ehehe...

[QUOTE=Bambino]Guys,
What's the lowdown on hotels in "Forta"?
I will be there at the end of march and like to stay on the beach. I'm willing to pay for moderate or slightly higher place. For example, I stay at the Rio Roiss in Copa, or the Sol Ipanema in Ipanema. I'd like to be right across from the beach where there is good mongering opportunity. And not too far from the clubs.
Any help would be apreciated.
