Magna Praia Hotel, Fortaleza

Advantages: Everything it is an excellent hotel
Disadvantages: Coffee at breakfast was awful

...We visited this Hotel in March 2006 and it was just brilliant, the room we had was spacious and very clean, with a lovely balcony. The bed was comfortable, the room had great curtains to block the light from coming into the room in the mornings, and there was no noise of a nighttime either - it is, without doubt, the best weeks sleep I have ever had on a holiday. The breakfast was adequate, nothing amazing, but there was plenty to keep you going. We took the B&B option, so I cannot comment on the evening meals, but there are restaurants and cafes within 100 yards of this hotel, so you will not need to go far to find something.

Advantages: kids,club, bar, beach, 2 pools, jacuzzis, entertainent, shops, self catering

This means that depending on your profile you will either be allocated the beach front CPO apartments (families with children), Hotel Oura Praia which is a about 10 minutes' walk from the beach (couples) and the newly aquired Hotel Oura which is just a few minutes' walk from the beach and I undersdand is aimed more the young clubbers. There is also 'S' block which is where we own which is just a very small block just outside the main complex and directly behind the beach. It may not appeal to everyone but we... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: everything

...Magna science museum was formerly an old steel works, My husband and I took our son who is 12 years old and our daughter who is 5 years old to Magna the new science museum in Rotherham which opened over the Easter period. We decide to go there because of the television advertisement which made it look really good and all hands on for the kids. We were all looking forward to the outing very much, anyway the day came we drove from Hull approx 62 miles to Magna, as soon as we arrived we parked the car in the massive carpark free of charge, and began to queue, what a wait we queued for 1 hour and 45 mins, then when we thought we were in we had to queue again for 20 mins to get to the ticket desk, I instantly thought wow it must be good to queue for this long so I was'nt upset by the queuing at this stage. We paid for our tickets... Read review
