We went there in october 2022 and it was the best place we have visited period just prior to going we read some of the reviews on trip advisor and nearly got cold feet to anyone who as booked this hotel trust me you won't be disappointed it's soooooo good we're going back this october again , that's after a honeymoon in cancun at the riu palace las americas can't wait to compare
Am currently having the best time of my life at the Riu Palace Santa Maria, lovely atmosphere, lovely weather, lovely food at the restaurant, nice splash for the kids, nice and clean pool including pool bar and many more , will be exploring the whole Santa Maria tomorrow, lovely country altogether, the locals are so receptive.
I’m a wheelchair user . Thankyou so much for your videos . I’m a recent wheelchair user and am so grateful for your videos. It helps me to see what I can enjoy still.
Thank you so much for taking the time to film a video 👌 we're so looking forward to visiting this beautiful island - sadly not until Feb next year.. 😔 but its booked and we have something to look forward to ! ⛱🌞
Hi Steve! Thanks for the video 😊my favourite thing about being away is being in the sea! The water seems quite far from the hotel, and I sometimes prefer something more intimate, I’m guessing this isn’t the hotel for me? 🙈
Lovely place but not to trying to scaremonger the whole excitement. Heard there was a issue with food contamination from a British couple from Durham in Septemberish going down to one these hotels nearby. Hopefully they've resolved this quickly. It'd be shame to miss out on these stunning sceneries.
The food issues are putting us from booking, we are researching online now and it only seems to be getting worse with someone dying the other week from food poisoning.
Glad you liked it ! Thank you 😊 omg you're going to love this hotel ❤☀️ Pepe's snack bar served burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets / wings, salad, cakes etc type of thing 😋 have a great time! ☀️🥂☀️🥂
@@stevieswheels6660 oh sounds great! We was meant to be going September next year but we are expecting a baby now so changing it to 2024 but we are so excited to go! Your video is making me want to go on holiday really bad 🥴🤞🏻
Hi. Great Vlog as we are trying to find a hotel for me who has mobility problems. Can I ask did you take your own mobility device or did you hire one whilst there. Many Thanks
Thanks!! Yes I took my own powered wheelchair there... I'm not too sure if they hire mobility devices at the hotel or nearby on the island sorry. there is a Facebook group for the hotel facebook.com/groups/1433795656777231/ Also the hotel email is palace.santamaria@riu.com Hope this helps !
Did you have any vaccines prior to going, like tetanus or maleria? We've only had 3 covid jabs, do you need proof of the 4th? We're going in May. Thanks.
viel zu groß und zu viel Menschen auf einem Stück eingepfercht, da habe ich es in SAL in einem kleineren Hotel lieber so wie im Hilten auch 5 Sterne und überschaubarer. War dort erst sep 23.
@@raphaelfrank6370have a fab time! I’m no closer to making a decision…Boa Vista looks like better snorkelling and beaches, but I love the idea of going to a busier town 🙈 Have a FABULOUS holiday ☺️

Nice vid guys. Did you fly on the dreamliner or standard plane?
Thanks 👍 hope it was helpful... we had the standard plane 🙄
Hug⚽️, yeah babe, God bless 🙌 🙏 💋 💋 💋
Hello Could you tell me if it is possible to swim in december in the sea. This is not windy ?
there's always a nice breeze, waves can be quite large tho.. good swimmers should be ok 👍🏊♀️🌞
Is minibar including? Or u have to pay extra for it?
Can you reserve sunbeds and can you use lilos in the pools (Our last hotel wouldn't allow them)
Did you have any vaccines prior to going, like tetanus or maleria?
We've only had 3 covid jabs, do you need proof of the 4th?
We're going in May.
Thanks.
Are the 4 Optional restaurants ( steakhouse, Italian, Japanese ect...) an additional charge or are the included in the All Inclusive ??
All included in all inclusive 😁
Cheers 👍
@@stevieswheels6660 that’s awesome! What are they like for availability?
We’re going end of June this year, can’t wait!
Hi, are the pools warm please
