Going to the Beach Park in Fortaleza is an experience that I would recommend across the board. They are one of the largest water parks in the world with attractions that span the range from low to extreme intensity. I’ve had the opportunity to go there a few times as a child and went again now as an adult and it was just as fun as I remembered.
Good: 1 - Excellent service. Employees are polite and knowledgeable. 2 - Lot’s of food options. 3 - Queues are not too long. 4 - Several options of attractions. 5 - Great layout with distribution of food/beverage kiosks, high/low intensity rides and pools distributed throughout. 6 - Easy access from hotel complexes.
To Improve: 1 - The power went out when I was there. It took around 10 minutes for the attraction I was at to normalize. This is lack of proper engineering or configuration of the backup systems. A diesel generator should kick-in and stabilize within 1 minute of a power outage. Moreover, given that power to the attractions is essential to the proper operation of the park, they should have a UPS battery backup to sustain the park for a duration long enough for generators to kick in. 2 - The meat/bacon burger at the Beach Burger kiosk was bad. Dry and hard. Almost inedible. The chicken option was much better. 3 - A few attractions were closed. I understand this can happen. However, this needs to be informed extremely well to park goers. Ideally in a language that humanizes the situation. “Sorry, our pump is sick today but the attraction will be up in x days”. 4 - The lazy river was weaker than I expected. There were less pumps on? 5 - The Hupa/Hopa was not doing the water discharge to speed up the attraction as it used to. 6 - No way to keep track of time when around park since there are no clocks. Add some?
Even though I am giving the park a 5-star review, I hope that the feedback can be put to use. If Beach Park plans on becoming “the Disney of Brazil” nothing short of...
Read moreYou can read my original review below and I believe the park infrastructure has not changed. Well, someone died there in 2018, but that was after my last visit and not enough reason to stop me from trying to go there again, especially considering the conversion rate between dollars and reais.
Unfortunately, this is a prime example of why Fortaleza is not an international destination and I mostly refrain from advising friends from different parts of the world to come here. Case in point: I cannot use an international credit card to buy tickets for the water park in advance. The so-called best water park in Latin America does not care about people who visit from other countries. The only workaround is to pass all my personal information (including DoB, full address, the type of card I have, etc.) to a random customer service rep through WhatsApp. Yes, WhatsApp is encrypted, but I have no idea who is receiving my information on the other side and how many screen shares that will have.
If you are an international tourist, there are many other places in the world you should go first. Fortaleza is not ready for prime time, unfortunately.
Really good and extensive water park but overpriced, especially for Brazilian standards. Depending on the time of the year, it becomes fundamental to have bug spray. Food inside the park is not very high quality and even more expensive. On the other hand, this is a whole complex of a beach restaurant and stores. There are many options to eat outside the park and quality is good, although still a little pricey. In a sense, the style and target market resemble some of the attractions in Cancun like Xcaret and Xelha. If you are in Fortaleza and have some dollars to spare, definitely...
Read moreGreat Family-Friendly Beach Spot with Aqua Park
We had a lovely time visiting this beach — it’s a fantastic destination for families. The beach itself is very clean, safe, and spacious, offering plenty of room for both swimming and playing. Water is Cristal clear.
Just a heads-up: if you want to sit at a table with chairs near the beach, there is a fee. There are two seating options available:
VIP Area – Costs ₹900 just for the table; food and drinks are charged separately.
Regular Area – Costs $90 for the table, but you can use as many chairs as needed, which is perfect if you’re visiting with a larger group.
Charges for table use usually begin between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM, depending on the day.
Beach Aqua Park — fun for all ages! The entry fee varies by season; in July, it was $300 per person.
Toilets are clean and tegere is a cleaner who is there all day.
Food is great as well but you need to expect to pay more than if you would eat outside.
We actually found a great place to eat nearby it was cheaper than on the beach .
All in all, a great place to relax and enjoy a family day out...
