It is included. There are no charges for any of the a la carte restaurants. You can write to the resort directly to confirm this. Cheers

Thanks!

Yes, you will definitely find pizza. As for scuba diving, you can book a trip through ScubaCaribe at the aquatic sports centre. There will be extra charges for this. Cheers

@@DBExplorer1 thanks I appreciate the info

18 and up. You can see the sign in the video. Cheers.

Hello, there is a long list of activities taking place at this and the neighboring resort, Riu Dunamar. I suggest that you look at the Riu's website and App. Kids Club, theme parties, silent disco, aquafit, volleyball, kayak, sailing, waterpark, theme parties at other Riu hotels where the transportation is provided free of charge, swimming in the ocean, etc.

Yes, these looked like $5 quartz replicas.

Thanks for the kind note! Glad to hear that you are still enjoying it!

@@DBExplorer1 I am planing on going back in Nov or Dec I love it there

The Riu definitely sources quality ingredients and they offer many options. There is something for everyone. We enjoyed the food and they do a great job considering the resort has over 700 rooms. If you are looking for a foodie type experience, you may have to go a step up. Cheers

Thank you! Pools #3 and #5 are the best for families with children. Have fun!

We visited in March. It is hard to predict the sargassum. It can change on a dime. However, this part of the beach seems to do pretty well. We were in Akumal last year and there were piles of it on the beach. Cheers.

Hello, I understand it is around $100 per 30 min and you have to stay in front of the hotel. Cheers

Thanks for the kind note! Enjoy the tent!

Nice! Make sure to check out the programming at the resort next door, Riu Dunamar. You might prefer what is going on in the evenings at that resort. Cheers

Hello, I do not recall seeing a screen door at this resort or any resort for that matter. It is likely something that would break frequently. That being said, it seems like an appropriate feature for a high end resort. Cheers

They had a sign with their name on it but I can’t remember it.

True that

Ok!

Definitely Patron re tequila. They had at least four different Mezcal. I don’t remember the names. As for gin and whiskey, expect mid range offerings like Beefeater and Jim Beam. I did not see anything really high end.

You are welcome! If you close the hatch, it could mess the set up a bit. You could pull it off in a matter of minutes. Also, the tent does zip up. The mesh screen that you can see in the video is a window and zips up with tent fabric. Once you zip up that screen, it should stay fairly warm inside. Cheers.

It was a tough call! lol

@@DBExplorer1 Thank you for the warning. I am staying there for the month of November. Seen better stalls from other videos. Will avoid this one for sure. I think you missed her finger in her nose or you wouldn't have eaten the food. Or you just like to taste other person's snot? A delicatessen in Thailand lol

It was definitely a buzz kill. Generally speaking, the street food in Thailand has been amazing. Make sure to check out the Cicada night market in Hua Hin. I am working on that video. I think it is open on the weekends. Very nice night market with great food options. Cheers. ​@@user-ww1zr2qt2h

I have been to Thailand to many times. I have never seen a worker so disgusting

Hello, you can use the facilities, waterpark, bars, nightlife, shows and lunch buffet at the Riu Dunamar next door. We went over there on a few occasions for the shows or just to hang out. The Riu Palace will offer to bring you to some of the theme parties at the other resorts where the drinks and access to those resorts will be included that day. This happened on two occasions during our week long stay. However, you do not have full access to all of the other resorts on a whim. Cheers.

Have a great weekend @Toronto-Brad!

Hi Jenn, I subbed to help you reach that 1000! We did not see lobster at the other restaurants. It really is just a small tail and nothing like a Canadian lobster. Overall however, we thought the food was pretty good. Cheers

Thanks for watching!

Agree

Hello, there are no cabanas. Just loungers by the pool and on the beach. Cheers

Hello, just the Riu properties. The beach is man made. Cheers

@@DBExplorer1 thank you

Glad I could help!

Although we booked a Junior Suite Garden View, they upgraded us to a partial ocean view for free. There is construction quite a distance away and I show this in the video. Cheers

Hello, check out the beach walk video on my channel to get a good look at the beach. We loved it and did not see any of that. If you can, please go back to your sources and ask them for photos and videos. I would love to see them as well. Cheers.

Cool. Nice to hear that!

You are welcome!

Thanks for the kind note! I hope that you have a great trip.

You are welcome! Enjoy the festival!

Yes, 100% free with the all inclusive package.

Sí, pero una vez que estás en el agua, se vuelve profunda bastante rápido. La Playa del Palo, cerca de Málaga, tuvo un descenso gradual y es perfecta para los niños.

I did! Cheers @Toronto-Brad

Yes, that was my choice to show crowd engagement. His vocal performance that night was good, not great. He is a bit of mess right now and one has to hope that he will pull out of it. At every show over the years, a different Matt Good has appeared. It keeps things interesting to some extent.

It was!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello, we were at the resort in March. The beach and the warm ocean water were amazing. To my knowledge, there is no snorkeling at the beach. The Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness resort on my channel has very good snorkeling right off the beach but note that it is a much smaller and quieter resort. I also think that the sargassum could be worse in this area but I am not an expert. The service at the Akumal resort was really good and we plan to go back some day.

The restaurants have full menus and you will have several options to choose from. Chicken, fish, beef and a vegetarian option typically.

Hey, I just realized that you are wondering if one person can order several main courses at the a la carte restaurants. I think you will find many great choices at the buffet and you can eat as much as you want. At the a la carte restaurants, I did see a couple order three main courses and the waiter was a bit hesitant. He ultimately allowed it. I don’t know what the resort’s policy regarding this question. Cheers

It is unpredictable.

Hello, there are Facebook groups and websites that monitor the sargassum levels in this region. It really is unpredictable and can be worse during the hotter months. Parts of Isla Mujeres and Costa Mujeres may receive less sargassum. If your heart is set on this wonderful resort, then sargassum is something that you will have to accept. There will be good days and bad days. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the kind note! I hope that you are doing well. We really enjoyed the south of Spain. The food was very good, climate was perfect and it felt very safe. Cheers

@@DBExplorer1 👍

I agree!

Yes, they do. If you go on their website and click on Home, you will see the reference to Room Service. It is from a specific Room Service menu. Cheers.

Thanks for the kind note! The audio was a bit scuffed on this one. This viewpoint is totally worth checking out. I hope that you enjoy it! If you are ever in Krabi, climbing the 1263 stairs to the top of Tiger Cave Temple is also worth jt. It is much much more challenging however. Cheers.

You're welcome!
