  • I spent a month at the Riu Touareg Hotel in Boa Vista in December 2022. I filmed the full tour in real-time so you can judge distances and how long it would take to walk from one area to another. I had a fantastic time and I hope you do too when you visit. #notaffiliated

    Thank you for the tour we are booked in for November 2023 , can you tell me please if the rooms have hairdryers and are there any quite bars at night to have a drink. Thank you

    • @onepawinthesand

      Hi I hope you have a great time. The room we had, had a hair dryer in the bathroom area. We would go to the bar in the reception in the evening it seemed quieter than the others. You could hear the entertainment but it wasn’t too loud. We would play cards etc. If there were no seats by the bar we would use one of the seats dotted around reception and get 2 drinks each from the bar to save the few extra steps 😁

    Just booked this for 70th Earth day celebration now i have watched your tour i am even more excited it looks soo big and tranquil we are booked for Adult section. However do you know if they have buggy assistance for those with walking disability. We will be there for 10 nights and is there any room service @ all. I saw coconuts on the trees this is divine to be in the desert with soo much space.

    • @onepawinthesand
      @onepawinthesand  5 місяців тому

      I saw lots of people in wheelchairs and on buggies but I’m not sure if they were personal or if they hired them. We did see reserved areas by the pool for people with walking difficulties so this is worth asking for when you arrive. There wasn’t any room service but you can go into the restaurant and then take the food back if you wanted. We did this a few times when we just wanted to relax. I loved the surroundings it really is a desert paradise. I hope you have a great time.

    Well done. Thanks for the tour. Gives us a good impression before making up our minds 'bout going here. Do you have any inside about the people visiting here ? Mainly British ?

    • @onepawinthesand
      @onepawinthesand  Рік тому +3

      When we went there were a lot of British but also Spanish, Portuguese, German and American. Mostly this was fine the core staff seemed to speak all the languages they needed. Just sometimes in the restaurant different cultures have different ways (lines or just going to the food they want). It was a lovely experience I hope you enjoy it too.

      @onepawinthesand  Рік тому +3

      We were at the hotel within half an hour on the Tui coach transfer. There really isn’t a lot of traffic on the road so there aren’t many delays and there aren’t any other hotels that they stop at on the way.

    Are there any pool tables or table tennis tables for teenagers to keep entertained? Are there shows in the evenings?

      @onepawinthesand  Рік тому +2

      Hi yes they had shows most nights in the main square area. Had a huge variety while I was there. Didn’t see any pool tables but they have some table tennis tables in the kids club area that I saw some adults using when there weren’t kids in the pool etc
