Thank you so much, this was a great review. I've booked to stay at Riu Palace in one of the overwater villas (with spa bath though, not the pool) March 2025 and after watching your video I'm looking forward to it even more so! Was there a chocolate fountain at the dessert station in the buffet restaurant during your stay? I also sincerely hope I see a turtle or two swim past my balcony when I'm there, I'll probably jump into the water immediately! Haha. Enjoy your travels, there's nothing else like it!
Great video. Really hyping us up for our stay.... From April 15th we will be there in Riu Atoll. Hope to enjoy it as much as you did. Away from the everyday hustle. What video equipement did you use to film? We also want to film our experience.
Good question- we had an inclusive package, so only settled at the end with a card - the total was in USD though - am sure you can pay in either currency though. Always best to contact to be 100% sure. Have a great day 👍
What a beautiful place this is! Sign me up!
Great review thanks. Looking forward to November
Thanks Badds. One more for the Bucket List.
It is beautiful there & so many islands/ resorts to pick from 👍
If I can show you how to go there for an affordable rate would you be interested?

You will absolutely love it - the ocean is beautiful and yes, lots of chocolate for you. Just remember to have a strategy at the buffet - 😀
@@expatlifestylewithbadds4530 Will do! 😆 thank you again
Beautiful video you have shared. How long is the walk from your room to the main area?
Thank you - not far - 300/400 meters- but you are checking out the sea life as you go - it’s a great walk. Plenty of buggies you can jump on too. 😀

Oh wow - it will be great. I use a GoPro 11 & interchange every now & then with iPhone 13 for zooming in. Hey, order a cocktail for me please. 👍
Sure, a piña colada it will be😊
@@expatlifestylewithbadds4530 i am here right now and it is really wonderful. Your cocktail is ready at the poolbar...
You’re going to love it - have a cocktail for me 🥂
Thanks for this. What month did you go? We’ve booked for end of Jan 25.
We were there mid-Feb - you’re going to love it. 👍
Hello. What type of electrical sockets are in the hotel?
Thank you
We used the G adapter which is common throughout- this is the 3 pronged UK plug - hope this helps 😀
@@expatlifestylewithbadds4530 thank you.
@@expatlifestylewithbadds4530 Can I ask one more question? Are Euros € used in the hotel? Or is it just dollars? Thank you.
@@dinceryalcin9369 Good question -

Do they party at all? Or off the resort?
Haha - for me, l partied on the inside. For the younger - l think they have a ‘crack’
