For this video it would have been mostly DJI Osmosis Pocket 3 and some with iPhone 14.

@terryandsiantravels thanks

I believe they are saying it’s 5 star based on Spanish hotel ratings. It’s certainly not 5 star quality to UK standards but if it was, it would probably cost at least double the money to stay!

That’s a very comprehensive comment and almost review in itself. Runnymede is the 5th we’ve been to and all south of us so far (Lincoln). First we’ve seen with such a large brasserie. I have a feeling the Runnymede prices will rise once it’s fully completed.

The bridge is the A30 and M25, the A308 goes along the front of the hotel, across the roundabout and under the bridge. Not sure what’s going to happen when/if it floods, the new parts they’ve built are on stilts but doesn’t help the existing parts!

Have a great time

Having a bigger balcony elsewhere doesn’t stop this balcony being big!

@@terryandsiantravels just pointing out that it doesn’t appear to as big as it’s being described

Hope you have a great time.

Salt water pools are fairly common in the Canaries.

The “pool bar” is just a small section at the back of the reception bar and isn’t really for sitting at. The outside tables alongside the the restaurant are covered. I can’t remember if they get any sun but it will probably show up in the video when I show how the shade moves during the day from a balcony.

They love to play

Thanks

It looked that way for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was recorded during the hottest week in recorded history so the grounds weren’t looking their best, and most was filmed with nobody around.

It is a great area. Bar, pool, loungers, chairs and tables and a magnificent view.

Thank you

We’re going to Thorsby next year, it’s our closest and will make a nice change not driving so far. Just back from Cricket St John which has magnificent gardens. Of the four we’ve been to, Littlecote is my best. Off to Corton and Runnymede later this year.

It’s different to most of the other Warners which tend to be Historical buildings, yet is a favourite for many Warners regulars. Hope you have a great time.

They are very cute and very noisy when it comes to feeding time!

I thought the song was apt for a holiday and Madonna did sell over 700,000 copies! I appreciate it’s not to everyone’s taste though.

Glad you enjoyed the video. You don’t get many hotel experiences quite like this which makes them great places to stay.

Do you know the name of your block. Harbour suites, Creek view and Kestrel are all close by.

Twice, three times a lady!

That’s lovely to hear. There’s nothing more precious than happy memories and I’m sure Hayling has those for many people.

@@terryandsiantravels 😘

Good to hear you had a great holiday. We had the option to upgrade to all inclusive for 400 euro but decided against it.

Thanks. Will definitely try and have a go next time I see one.

No. Breakfast and three course evening meal included in the price.

Enormous!

We really enjoyed it, wish we were back there now. Met a couple who were there for their 9th time!

Madonna is sooo old school

Is this hotel just for old people

Yes, but well fed, well looked after and Vet service. Also a rescued animal.

In what way?

It’s better than the video shows. The walk around was when everyone had left so looks a little empty. There’s a lot to do there and it’s not far to walk to the beach.

Thanks for your comment. I've been doing photography as a hobby for a long time and recently progressed to video. I'm one of those people that has far mor equipment than I need or use. For this video I used mostly my mobile iphone 14 plus a Sony a6700, Osmo Pocket 1, Insta360 Go2, Insta360 X2 and DJI Mini Pro 3. If you want to do something similar then simply using for mobile phone is a great start. If you want smoother moving video you could add one of the many phone gimbals available or use a phone tripod clamp and attach a selfie stick for holding or a monopod. If you feel you may do a lot of videoing of holidays the you could consider the new Osmo Pocket 3 which is a fantastic all rounder for video and is small enough to carry anywhere.

Thanks for the Info , I wish you both well on your next travel adventure

Thanks for your excellent comment. I think due to the odd shape and design of the buildings, many rooms will end up being different shapes and layouts. Walking around and seeing many hotels through out the canaries, it’s great to see many of them with plants, cactus and palm trees in the grounds. Having said that, I’ve seen many rooms that have palm trees completely obscure the views of balconies and always thought I’d hate to go to my room upon arrival, open the curtains and seen nothing but a huge palm tree! One of the lifts when we were there was out of service on and off but we didn’t have issues using the stairs. The “train” ride was certainly a novelty, added a bit of fun and gave us a tour of the hotel.

I can sort of understand it but would really need to see it played. Still seems a bit odd to me 😀

Google Golf Disc Golf or Frisbee golf. Plenty of videos online.

It’s a 5 star according to Spanish ratings but I would agree it’s 4 stars from what I would expect in the UK. However, it would cost considerably more to stay if it was a UK equivalent 5 stars. Hopefully from videos like this people can see what the hotels are like before going and make their own opinions as to whether they think it’s worthwhile.

Thank you Tom, I appreciate your comment and hope people find it useful if thinking of going to Nidd.

Yes, it’s a marvellous bonus to visiting Littlecote. I was going to include a clip in the video but unfortunately the following day it was raining.

Yes, it’s on Fuertaventura.

We felt the food was great. Enormous choice and I can’t recall anything we didn’t like.

@terryandsiantravels thanks for your reply, Appreciate your help 🙏

It’s a 5 Star according to Spanish ratings. It would cost considerably more to stay if a 5 Star at British star ratings. Either you went on a bad week, it’s improved since you’ve been or we went on a good week. We met a couple there that have been 9 times and love it. It could just be individuals personal preferences or expectations but I can only go by the experience we had on that particular week. It’s our first H10 hotel so can’t compare with the standards of the others.

@@terryandsiantravels I’m sick of hearing that. I don’t book holidays in the UK. I visit hotels in Spain and I’ve stayed in 4 Star hotels that are far better. In fact one of them was the sister hotel the H10 Lanzarote Princess. Far better hotel in every way. This hotel lives on old reputations and isn’t as good as you make out. Tell me is the small river still dried up and full of debris. Are the pools still full of broken and cracked tiles. Is the food still lukewarm or cold. Are there still queues at the bars? All this is what holiday makers are looking at when they spend their hard earned cash, nothing more nothing less. It’s not 5 star it’s that simple.

@@peterskelton7435 The pools didn’t have cracked tiles. The river was not dried up or had debris in it, it’s in my video. It is 5 star based on Spanish ratings.

@@terryandsiantravels well in MY opinion it’s not 5 star and never will be. Enjoy your evening.

I agree with you, in my opinion it’s not what I would normally expect a 5 star to be and there is plenty of room for improvement. I also appreciate you didn’t have the best time there. Most of all I appreciate you commenting, thank you. When it comes to reviews it’s always best to hear the good and bad and personal experiences.

That’s the first I’ve heard about getting insurance for the activities so can’t really answer that question.

Hope you and your family have a great holiday there and it’s even better than last time.

@@terryandsiantravels ah thanks mate, that's lovely. I take it you recommend it? Anything to be wary of?

@@blahmaas Yes, enjoyed it very much. Had no issues so nothing to be wary from us. My only recommendation though is you can book any of the themed restaurants up to 3 times so if you’re interested in doing so they book these as soon as you can as they’re limited seats. The dinner show is highly recommended.

@@terryandsiantravels great tip, thanks mate! 👍

Thanks for this - we're very excited to see the animals!

I could t believe at first, especially the speed the go, passengers or not!

Thanks 😊

We really enjoyed it, I loved just walking around to all the different parts.

It’s quite an open site so easy to get around. We had a small chalet which was fine for us, although the Harbour Suites and Woodland Lodges did look nice.

Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good time there. We never a single issue during our stay. Your last statement seems an incredible over exaggeration based on our stay and my video certainly doesn’t show anything worthy of your comment. I suppose it depends on what your expectations were for a budget 3 star hotel.

About 5 - 10 minutes there, maybe longer coming back as uphill. There’s a great crazy golf in the town though. Don’t forget the free bus rides to either side of the sand dunes.

Have a great time, we didn’t have any issues during our stay. It would great if you could comment here with your thoughts after your holiday. Especially if you can let us know if they have opened up the rooftop area.
