nice video and city
Hello this was a lovely video, we are looking to come here, so you really liked the food? The pool water was it very cold?
The main restaurant has a large selection of cuisines and we always found something really nice. The smaller restaurants are also good but we preferred the main one. There are three pools and all are a comfortable temperature. One has seats at the bar so it has to be warm whilst you drink your cocktails!
Good video captured quite a lot whilst you were there 👍
Thank you. And it was between lock downs so there quite a few restriction.
....so there were quite a few restrictions
That was probably a blessing. I'm a postie in Penrith/Eden Valley (moved up from Kent) and believe me it gets very busy around a lot of these places normally!! We actually have a night booked at this hotel this week just for the change of scenery looking forward to food/drink etc
@@richardsith8197 the view at the back of the hotel is one of the best I've ever experienced.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun so looking forward to finding a few nice hotels around here to have the occasional mid week break. Will let you know my opinion after my stay. Inn on the lake also is very nice have been there few times for lunch, but prices per night are very high, same as Lordore falls
Dominmican republik and Cuba the best
I am Going to Royaltan st Lucia in a week. Do they provide snorkelling equipment at there. I'm unsure
I had my own gear. I cannot remember seeing any available for use on the beach. It IS offerered when you go on trips. If you like snorkeling it is worth taking your own gear.
Hello Chris I was thinking of booking this for mid July. Did you visit the gym at all? I stayed here 10 years ago when it was Almond smugglers cover (it was levelled and Royalton built on top). Is it easy to book excursions? Is there also a buffet restaurant?
Didn't visit the gym. Excursions are easy to book: rwo offices next to the coffee shop. There is an excellent buffet restaurant with loads of choice (it was our favourite restaurant). So you can mix Mexican with Italian with sushi with...
...excursions seem very expensive compared to European holidays.
any jet skis too rent on the beach ?
Yes
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun thanks this on my radar for September
This is awesome I’m about to make the exact same trip next week! Can’t tell you how helpful this video is. Is there anything crucial to book as soon as we get there?
I don't think there is any rush to book anything. Restaurants are easy to book but after trying them we found that the main one was our favourite anyway and didn't need booking. There is a tui office and another travel agent next to the coffee shop and it was easy to book anything we wanted. There are guys on the beach every day selling boat trips so that's not a problem either.
Hi Chris, good video thank you. We are looking to book a family holiday at the Royalton St Lucia but have read so many mixed reviews. Did you have diamond club, where restaurant queues a problem and what were the staff and rooms like ? We are also considering Zoetry and windjammer,, not sure if you considered any other resorts before booking Royalton
Hi, we did not gave diamond but the choice available to us was more than enough. We did upgrade our airplane seats which was worth it. Room was very good. All rooms have a sea view. Never had a queue with more than two or three parties ahead of us. It is very remote so most trips are expensive.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun thanks Chris, really appreciate the reply.
I have to warn about the remote control on these toilets , they give out extremely high EMF radiation that goes through all walls in your house and can make u sick , i dont know about the wall panel if it does the same as in this video but i assume its the same technology , they are actually dangerous unless u take the battery out of them and leave them disconnected, much more radiation then a wifi router
I hear they are considered and Invasive species there.
I did not know that.
How was the weather in February like?
It was pleasant. If the sun was shining a tee shirt was enough. Evenings needed an extra layer. It wasn't warm enough for the beach. We didn't have any rain.
Wow it SUCKS HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAH -1/20
Hello congratulations for the video. I am using translator: can I know if it was a very windy area? .... I would like to go there the last 2 weeks of October .... thanks
It wasn't windy in November. The sea inside the reef (all along section where Ambre was) was calm.
Staying here this month, does the hotel have a beach bar over the bridge?
I'm not sure what you are asking. I guess the best answer I can give is: when you go out of the back gate you cross the path to get to the beach. There are sun beds and umbrellas but no bar. There is a pool bar inside the grounds. Anyway, enjoy your stay!
My Western friends went to Japan with me years ago and just fell in love with Japanese bidets. They actually bought the Japanese toilet seats and brought them back to their home countries.
Cool vid !
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
hi your videos are great and i was wondering is the ambre resort suitable for disabled people? how expensive was it to go on the tours to st louis?
If you had a room on the ground floor I think the Ambre would be suitable for a disabled person. There are ramps into the restaurant. I would advise talking to the hotel. For the trips we had a taxi solely for the two of us for the duration of each trip. The cost was around 40 or 50 UK pounds for the two of us (plus any entrance fees).
Brilliant video Chris.Watching this brought back so many happy memories for me of this lovely country called Malta.Thanks.
Thank you Andrew.
Good video. We were there at the same time as you. I have done a few tube vids myself of the holiday & food. We are going back in 5 weeks to the Elba san jorje. Then again in July/Aug with the family Regards. Steve.
Enjoy your future holidays in Fuerteventura. It is a lovely place.
Beautiful Vlog! I’ve also stayed here
cost?
You need to check locally. That will give you a much more accurate figure than I could give.
Is that a snake or they call it a coulev
I don't know. It looked like a small snake but it might be similar to a slow worm in the UK that is a legless lizard.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun scary I know Mauritius don't have snakes where did you find it... It moves like a snake
@@clifffair984 It was inside our hotel block, which is open to the outside gardens. As you say, it moves like a snake. It wasn't very big, maybe 50 - 60cm. Unfortunately, the light wasn't good enough to get a good picture.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun interesting I'll keep my eyes open 24 hours now lol when I go. Thank you
Have a good time - we did!
Does it have UV light?
Caleta de Fuste😁🤢
Lovely to see people there again
It was lovely to be there again!
Hi was the town busy or quiet?
Our hotel was pretty full. When we walked into Caleta de Fuste it was averagely busy i.e. Nowhere was packed or too busy but there were people in all the bars and restaurants.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun travelling in 4 weeks really looking forward to being back
How mach
I recommend that you google a local supplier. Search for Grohe Sensia Arena.
प्राईज,,,,,,,,,, क्या है
Are you still happy with it?
Yes, still happy. Haven't had any problems with it.
So much
Just in front of you ! Tears 4 fears t shirt , thanks for sharing 👍
Great to see the Bananna's back!
It was fun af

So stuff Covid as long as people can show off is basically the message here It's as if nothing has happened over the past year people really are nuts They treat them as gods
The demographic of the crowd (for a 1980's music festival) was such that the vast majority of attendees had been double vaxed. Covid vaccination certificates were required for entry. The event was outdoors. The crowd was impeccably behaved and very few bodily fluids were passed. After 18 months it was a great joy to do something normal. If you want to wait until covid is gone then you've got an awful long wait. When you say 'as if nothing has happened' well, yes, something has happened - an immense vaccination program has happened. I didn't treat anyone as a god.
You were not forced to attend, You want Australian rules then yes? wake up! Oh yes and have the balls to use your own name and back up your fearmongering with science...
Football olympics wimbledon f1 etc etc....
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun and a negative test if not jabbed
Note: the donkey sanctuary is not 'Hillside'; that is in an entirely different part of the country!
Did you install this yourself? My neighbor has one of these, but it's a Duravit. I like this more. His doesn't have a dryer either. That's nuts. Must be nice!
I had it installed as part of a makeover for the room.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun What was the cost of the install? Just wondering because I'm in Miami and almost afraid to ask what it would be.
@@johnblack8036 Hi, I'd rather not get into money detail. You can search for 'Grohe Sensia Arena' to get a local cost for the item.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun Not the item. I know the cost of that. I was referring to the installation. Pumping contractors are the worst. Especially here, but I understand.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun $475 for the install. I don't know if that's high or low. I have the Duravit Sensowash on one of my toilets, but it's problematic. I'm not sure what the install cost was, but it was $2200 total. For something I don't use.
I'd like to see how the water flows.
Great place..🙂
We were due to return but hotel was switched to Elba Carlota.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun we didnt like the elba carlota when we went in 2019, much prefer the barcelo. Hope it was hope for you..

Pooley bridge was poor hard to get fed locals only rough place
How did you manage to connect the toilet to iPhone? I can’t get it to connect....
My phone is not Apple. Its a while since I paired it but I followed instructions in the quick start guide that came with the toilet. Do you have this? Anyway, I loaded the sensia app on my phone; I confirmed the disclaimer in the app; with phone near the loo I pressed dryer and water temp at the same time then the app asked me if I wanted to pair. FYI I cannot flush the loo using the app but all other functions work.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun my remote is slightly different to yours, I’ve tried pressing those two buttons but it does nothing. Il keep digging till I figure it out. Thanks 😊
Nice shoots. How long will last 1 battery please?
I can't give you an accurate figure for that because I have never timed it. However, with a fully charged battery I have made many five and ten minute recordings without the battery running low.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun Many thanks, Chris 👍 Enjoy your next trip!
Jeg har været der😍
thank you this is what i was looking for i am going to order one :D
A tip: I recommend that when you set it up you use 30 fps. In Antigua i used 50 fps and I had problems editing and posting to youtube.
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun ok will try it out thanks again :D was really unsure until i saw your vids :D. Have you tested any deeper?(hoping to go scuba diving and hoping this would be useful.
@@jomonkey15 No, I only snorkel. When I am in the water I have the camera on a stick and, surprise, surprise, it is difficult to duck dive with a camera in one hand! So with scuba it will be easier.
thanks helpful! :D
there is another here if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/hmYWvaprSpA/v-deo.html
@@ChrisKayeHavingFun i am thanks
Nice to see an actual person who has installed and uses this! So many marketing videos out there, it’s not easy to get a good idea about a product until you see it installed
How much did this resort cost??
It was a flight and hotel package so I don't know. I do know that it was one of the cheapest Antigua hotels in the brochure.
Have you had to descale? How easy is that?
I have a water softener so I don't have to escape.
....don't have to descale
Great hotel, beautiful island. We stayed at the same hotel for my wifes 40th. Avoided the news while we were there & left for home on the 11th March. Didn't think this would be our last holiday for a while. Thanks for the video
So you must've been there in our first week. On the 13th we went to a restaurant for my birthday and that was the last time we ate out on that holiday.
