The Marina Praia is a fine establishment. Correction, it is more than fine. It is magnificent. If you're looking for a cozy, comfortable, friendly place from which you can enjoy the beauty and excitement of Fortaleza, look no further than the Marina Praia. The staff there is second to none. They are, without a doubt, the friendliest, nicest cleaning ladies I have ever had the opportunity to meet, and they do it all without even expecting a tip. They do their jobs well because they relish the chance for employment. This hotel is a great way to save a few bucks and get a chance to truly experience the Brazilian culture by getting to know some of Fortaleza's best people. I could not speak higher of the Marina Praia.
