Thank you for watching my video and commenting! We visited Seychelles in early February and saw seaweed at La Digue, but thankfully not at our hotel beach!

Thank you very much!

Hi Steve Thank you for watching my video and your kind comment! I apologize for missing the ramps/stairs in my video, but after rechecking my footage, the resort seems very accessible. I imagine a flat path from the car to the front desk, a ramp to the elevator, and elevator access to restaurants, spa, pool, and beach. For Roy's or the golf course restaurant, a golf cart is available via the bell desk. However, I highly recommend contacting the hotel directly to confirm accessibility details, as things may change. Thanks again, and have a wonderful, safe trip!

Right. It all depends on why you're going.

Thank you so much for saying so!!! 😆😆😊

Thanks for your comment! I've heard some not-so-great things about Marriott's cost-cutting measures for 2025.😢😢 Makes me wonder if I should switch brands.🤔🤔🤔

Thank you for watching my video and the nice comment😆😆 NYC is awesome! Have a great trip! Merci😊😊😊

I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's included. I didn't choose the all-inclusive.

It's a coconut sundae. The presentation was good.

Thank you for your nice comment. 😆😆 Sorry, the hotel itself was quiet, but the hotel next door was so loud with DJ music every night, so...🙁🙁 I love the hotel and want to go back to stay there again.😊😊🥰

Oh I see what you mean. Is that the Oceania? Funnily enough we stayed there once too! It's much smaller but still nice. Luckily we didn't experience the loud music 😊

Yes! Oceanis!! They had an event at the poolside blasting music!! 🤣🤣

Thank you for your comment!!!😆😆 I used a digital camera, Sony RX100. I don't know anything about lenses, so I just used the footage I took with it... nothing special..😅😅

@@yuka.m do they pay good or free accommodation for the JW Masai Mara since u do nice video?

Not at all! No one contacted me from the lodge!! Maybe they don't like my video...as it includes some negative part??!

I'm so happy to hear that! 😊

😆😆😊

Thank you so much for saying so!!!😆😆😆

Thank you so much for saying so!!! 😊😊😊

It took about 18 minutes by the free shuttle to get to the Dubai Mall.

Me too 😊😊😊

Thank you for the comment!!😆😆 There is another parking option besides the large lot in my video. If your room is far from the entrance, please inquire about alternative parking. We parked right in front of our room during our stay. Just a heads-up: the video is from 2022, so some details may have changed. Have a nice stay! Thanks again for watching my video.😊😊😊

Thank you😊😊😊

Thank you for saying so!! 😊😊😊

It's not hard. Getting to the station really depends on the weather. There's a safe and nice path that you can walk in about 15 minutes. But on those hot and humid days, I usually took the shuttle bus since it's more comfortable. So, depending on the weather, you might want to go with the shuttle, too. Overall, though, walking around there isn't difficult at all. Thanks for watching my video! It's nice of you to say so. 😊😊😊

Wow! Lucky you!! As Japanese, thank you so much for traveling all over Japan. 😊😊😊

We didn't have a rental car. We walked to Aldi. It's just a 7-minute walk.

Thank you so much for saying so!!!!😭😭😭 I'm so happy to hear that!!!!😊😊😊

Yes, unfortunately, it's charged. Please refer 2:20.

Congratulations!! You will have fun. There are 3 types of safari tours you can choose. 1. Self drive We did self drive safari, basically. We rent a car at Skukuza Airport (You should book in advance) and drive to the hotel. If you arrive at the airport directly like me, you need to pay a park fee or show the wildcard if you have one on arrival. It's important to note that Kruger Gate Hotel isn't located inside Kruger National Park, so you need to buy an entrance ticket or show your wildcard with ID every time you enter Kruger. When we were there, we needed to park a car and go into the office to get real entrance tickets even though we had wildcards. It was a little inconvenient, and I hope Kruger Park made a digital entrance system so that you don't have to get out of the car. 2. Book a safari tour at the hotel You may receive an email regarding the safari tours they offer. Book with them. You can just show up at the hotel lobby area on time. Usually, you will have other passengers in the same vehicle. It's like a group safari tour. We did it a few times as it's convenient, and they offer a night safari. Self drive is prohibited at night, so it's a good option. 3. 3rd party safari You hire someone or a company to offer safaris at Kruger. They can pick you up at the hotel. I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you have another question. (It was almost 2 years ago, so my answer might be out of date, though.)

@@yuka.m thanks a lot for the response and the wishes! :) We are only staying for 3 nights (two full days when we will make the tours). Do you believe it is enough to see everything at the safaris?

If you take a tour, I believe you would see major animals more than we, self-drive tourists without any idea where to go, do. Tour guides usually communicate with other guides about where they spot specific animals, or experienced guides know the territories of major animals, so you can count on guides/drivers. At least I know they will say it's not guaranteed to see the animals..., but there are lots of animals in Kruger. I wish I lived nearby...😭 Enjoy!!😆😆

Thank you so much!!!! 😊😊😊

Please request them.

Please ask the lodge.

Bush toilet....😅😅😅

Right. There was no AC at the lodge.

Hi, thank you for watching my video. I booked the cheapest room with points, and I used the suite upgrade certificate. I think you can ask the hotel how many points you need. Sometimes they don't let you book for a suiteroom with points... 😒😒😒

Oh, air conditioning..? I didn't notice if it was good or bad, so I guess it was working....

😆😆😊

No club lounge 😭😭😭😭

We booked the tour of Lion Walking at the hotel. There is a list of the tours. Check 7:44 We did the tour at Mukuni Big 5. www.mukunibig5.co.zm/

I will check it out ,Thank you !😊

Thank you for watching my video and the comment. 😊😊 Right. You forget you're in Venice. It's actually quiet.

Thank you for watching and the comment. 😊😊😊

Glad to hear that😆😆😆 Thanks for watching!!😊😊

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching my video!!! 😊😊😊

Thank you for the nice comment!!! 😊😊😊

I used gopro, a selfie stick, Sony RX100VII, and my cell phone. I'm not good at filming, but thank you for saying so.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and share your thoughts. Reviews are subjective, and experiences can vary. I hope you have a positive experience. Safe travels!

Oh no! I just saw your reviews and I just finished the reservation with them! Now what? I hope we don’t get disappointed! I’ll yiu guys know when we come back

Oh yes, let us know, please. I hope you have a great trip!!

Hi, thank you for watching my video. 😊😊 Landacape photos and electric storms photos sound great! I wish I had such a skill. The website says: Canon Photo Studio State of the art Canon photography equipment including the mirrorless EOS R6 Mark II and EOS R3, and lenses RF 100-500mm and RF 24-70mm allowing you to experience and create your own visual masterpiece. We didn't get the tripods or anything else. Maybe it's because they knew we were beginners for photography?! I recommend you inquire them directly.

@@yuka.m Thank you for the quick reply. I was contemplating bringing some of my own camera equipment (if they don't supply you with smaller lenses) but with the internal flight weight restrictions it might not be such a great idea. Nice to get some pics of the Masai Mara people and so on without having to stand a mile away from them lol

Oh, you must be a great photographer! Right, I don't like the restrictions of luggage. Please contact the lodge to ask if they supply some equipment. 😉😉
