Very helpful video. Cheers!
Thanks very much for watching and for your comment. Please do give the video a like if you haven't already, if you found it useful, as it will really help the RUclips algorithm to push it to others and help my channel grow. Thank you again
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.
👍 Thanks very much for watching and for the info which I'm sure others will find really useful too. Thank you
Do they have any desks where you can book a shared coach?
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.
I'm surprised you didn't comment on the British phone booth at 4:03 . . . it caught my eye right away!
If you ever fly to Pittsburgh, give me a ring . . . that's my home airport . . . (after we've both recovered from our health setbacks).
@@adventureswithfarmertroy I definitely will. Hope you are ok and recovering well
@@Mikes_Travels … I’m weeks away from a full recovery, but doing my best. Nice to see you are well enough to put out a video … best wishes on your recovery too. ❤️🩹
@adventureswithfarmertroy to be honest, the video was more or less ready to go before my accident, so it took very little work to upload it. My medication is doing the pain relief work at the moment, but I'll be months away from being back to normal, sadly. Good luck with your recovery
AHHH IM GOING TOMORROW!!
I hope you have an amazing time, we did. Don't forget to have a little walk into the village. You can meet some great people If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks very much for watching the video and if you did enjoy it, please will you give it a thumbs up as that will really help my channel to grow. I've also posted videos of Udawalawe National Park ( a must do) as well as Colombo and Galle Fort Enjoy !
@@Mikes_Travels thank you I’ll have a walk around the village and I’m also going to see my grandmas grave for the first time while headlong there. Gave it a thumbs up and subscribed!!
@Abby58372 A lovely thing to do. Have a lovely time and thank you
@@Mikes_Travels stupid question but are the pools deep shallow or normal 😅😅
@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!
That's very kind of you, thank you very much for watching. We would highly recommend the hotel and the staff are fantastic. I also did a review of the Riu Tikida Palmeraie in Marakesh on this channel. If you do have any questions about Sri Lanka, going forward, please don't hesitate to ask, and please do consider subscribing as it will really help my channel to grow. I'm just recovering from a serious accident I had at home but I'll shortly be uploading a series of videos from the USA Thank you again
Amazing reef!
Thank you very much for watching
Sad about the scam. I got scammed too in the same way. The tuk tuk driver was a nice person too. I think "scam" is the wrong word but "d head" is probably what they are.
Thank you for watching. Very much appreciated. Please do give the video a thumbs up if you like it, as it really will help my channel to grow. Thank you again

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
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
A great place to stay. I enjoyed watching this video. A masterclass. Thanks.

If you check out before 12 and your Pick Up is in the Evening, it is possible like in other RIU Hotels to eat and drink for free till you had Check Out in the Evening?

Do you know if the pool is heated in December, we’re thinking of going 26th dec
Thank you for watching. I think the pool may be naturally heated and I haven't been there in December, so can't answer that one I'm afraid. Perhaps you could e mail the hotel. I'm sure they will help you.
😍💚
MIKE welcome to paradise
Thank you and thank you for watching. Sri Lanka really is beautiful
@@Mikes_Travels sure take care
Nice video Mike
Thanks for your comment and for watching 👍
Hi.. great video.. do they serve alcoholic drinks at all the restaurants and the room? Or any specific designated place?
Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment Alcohol including cocktails, is served at all bars (including the pool) and in all restaurants from 10am to about midnight. The mini bars in the room only have soft drinks, but you can take alcohol back to your room if you want to If the video has been useful, please do give it a like as that will enable RUclips to push it to others who may find it useful Thank you very much, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask
I've been reading that they do not provide toiletries in the washrooms... Is it true? And the check in process can get long and tiring... Kindly share your experience on these?
@pranaypassi2379 Hi and thanks for watching. We had toiletries in our room. If you have found the video useful, please do give it a like as it will encourage RUclips to push it to more people. Thanks
Exactly what i was looking for - I'm off to this hotel later next month. Do you recommend any specific excursions to do (i have a few booked that are Tui refereed)
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
