Nice one Mike, we used this last year for the first time (vs MCO and Sanford) and found it to be so easy to navigate, not too far from the Orlando area and clean/friendly. It was relatively quiet and when we arrived, sensibly a new system was in place where we collected baggage first then onto customs where there was a trickle of tourists instead of the massive arrival queue. Back there in 8 weeks, happy days.

Thank you for watching I didn't see the bus stops, but I understand that you can get a bus from the airport to Orlando / Disney World. Its best to probably Google the option, but I'm sure it does exist.

@Abby58372 Not a silly question at all. There are steps down into the pool and I think at its deepest in the centre (the pool with the swim up bar) it is about 5 feet (1.5m). There is also a ledge all around the pool to sit on as well as lay down concrete beds at the side of the pool

Thank you for a great video. We have stayed in a few Riu hotels (Marrakech and Cabo Verde) and considering this for next year. Especially thank you for giving a detailed view of the food. We have two members of the family who are celiac and dairy free, looks like a lot of the food was labeled. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Hi Mike quick question - how did you pay for the e excursions - rupees, dollars of credit card? I always prefer credit card to avoid the need to travel with cash and conversion rates. Thanks
@Mikes_Travels
@Mikes_Travels 25 күн бұрын
Hi John Thanks for watching. We paid by card to the rep. My advise though if you are travelling with Tui, is don't book anything before you travel. I don't know how, but the Tui rep does the excursions cheaper at the resort. If you watch my Udawalawe video part 1 and 2, we got all of that through the rep. We got more included at a cheaper price then Tui were offering just for the safari If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask Thanks again for watching

@Mikes_Travels
@Mikes_Travels Ай бұрын
Thanks for watching Ben and glad the video had helped. That's my motivation for doing them 👍 Definately Udawalawe and the elephants and Galle. I've posted videos of those that may help. Speak to the Tui rep though as he got our excursions cheaper then Tui advertise. They included more and were better value. Pick up with the people I put on the Udawalawe video. The guide was excellent and I highly recommend him from our experience. He was the one that the Tui rep did our tour with. I also took the train to Colombo, which was really cool. Only £1.40 each way and well worth a visit. Again I posted that video yesterday that you may want to take a look at. (Not promoting my channel but it's the reason I post the videos, to help others who go to the same place as me) Thanks again for watching and please ask if you do have any more questions The beach at the hotel is fab but please take care when going in the ocean as it has really strong currents and rip tides. All the very best and I know you'll have a great time
