    I keep telling myself I don't have 40 minutes to watch a walk-thru of a luxury hotel I'll never visit, yet here I am, week after week, haha.

      Matt Man Just watching is refreshing honestly. I tune everything out, take it the sights and sounds, and at journey's end I haven't emptied my wallet and feel somehow refreshed.

    Wow! This is quite a film. I agree with your analogy of the Sydney Opera House and this building. And yes, I agree that the interior is particularly beautiful. I love the low tide images from the pier. Stunning footage. Thank you for the video. I feel very inspired!

  • @PaulHummerman
    @PaulHummerman 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Bravo! - the 12 minute continuous handheld footage is extremely well done - not easy in a relatively crowded complex space, and you keep the horizon horizontal! The pacing is perfect.

    Excellent review. I've had more fun than before. My favourite Indian ocean island is Mauritius, I'm going there in summer this year. Keep on filming and reviewing these islands and hotels and places and planes and excursions and resorts. It's all exciting viewed on your channel. Have all the fun you can!

  • @enriqueali

    I always like the videos you make and the music is as beautiful as the scenery, a great combination! Also, when you review airline flights, I am a window person too so the views of our earth are even more spectacular. Keep up your channel, it is so enjoyable. Hint, I use Bose QC-35 headphones and it really enhances those instrumentals.

    WOWZERS ! Extraordinary again. If one can make a request though, please include a description of your menu choices and/or to film the actual menu. Beautiful scenery and the tidal aspect of the resort is very interesting. I suppose the lack of beach is the reason for the stunning pools. Thank you.

    I would want to spend all my time just lying in the surf. Or beachcombing. This is another one of those lovely places to go just to calm the heck down. That big roof over the lobby is great for drawing off the heat and helping circulate cool air.

    I get that this is about luxury travel, but it's not that hard to get to the island. The African airlines are just fine. Especially Kenya Airways. There is a ferry from Dar Es Salaam that takes about an hour and a half, it's a high speed ferry and I can recommend taking it because you may even see dolphins on the way. It's very possible to travel to Zanzibar on a budget too.

      1stgen I have travelled to Ethiopia, Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Cameroon, Mozambique and South Africa. I have stayed in 5* hotels that screwed everything up - especially in Malabo! In Maputo I woke in a 5* hotel to find my room full of water from a ceiling leak! You pay a fortune for 5* in Africa and only South Africa is consistent. Morocco is second and the rest, God help you generally.

      Chai2574 Equatorial Guinea has the highest GDP per capita in Africa. There is a lot of business to be done there! The Sofitel is a good looking building in Sipopo and in Malabo, but the food is like bush meat and the service levels can at times be disgraceful. Called for a car to a meeting and waited well over an hour to get it - made me late. Also, I found it unacceptable that the hotel shop sold skin whitening creams! That was a huge shock to see. Now I only stay in hotels on the Amex FHR hotel list in Africa and worldwide, then I know I will be looked after. Also, this website is a good guide too.
