Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 04. 2024
- Staying at an all-inclusive resort has very many similarities to cruising on a ship like the Royal Caribbean or Carnival cruise lines provide. There are pools, buffets, wellness, activities, and more. In March of 2024, we stayed at the Fuerteventura Princess Resort on the Island of Fuerte off the coast of Africa for some sun, hiking, tennis, and all around relaxation. Check it out! #tour #resort #fuerteventura

We actually studied this sort of situation in school. If you work hard and sacrifice to get something, and then everyone is given the item for free, the best thing to do is (1) be happy for yourself because you got what you worked for and (2) be happy for your fellow man, as they got something that made them happy and their receiving it cost you nothing.
I wouldn't let it bother me either except you ARE paying more for the all inclusive portion simply because of the free loaders. Someone's gotta pay.
Love this attitude.
Yea I’m not sure who taught that mindset but if I’m paying and everyone else isn’t I’m getting refunded.
Thanks for the tour Morgan 👍 food looks delicious 😋
Looks like an unusual but nice place! Thanks for the tour! 😊
So weird how they did not check levels. They can easily arrange that at the machines, f.i. card activated. Location is nice, but not the resort for me. Fun to see something difference than cruise & parks. Love the quite area. That canyon is beautiful.
Birdie birdie in the sky
Why'd you do that in my eye? Lol! Love your channel Morgan.
Thanks again for informative and fun video.
Beautiful place. The “freeloaders” at the “all inclusive” taps would have made me question paying the higher rate, too, but in a way it doesn’t matter what the other people are doing (wrong)… that’s their karma (it’s stealing to do what they did) and you at least have good karma for paying for what you consumed! At least this is what I would have been telling myself in that situation!
Yes, you're right! It is stealing, and even if everyone is doing it, it's still not "right" :-P
Great video! I had no idea that the Canary Islands were such a moonscape. Are all the islands like that? It looks a bit like Las Vegas with all the rocks and sparse vegetation. I don't think I was expecting a Hawaii level of lushness but I wasn't expecting such a lunar like landscape! Thanks for letting me tag along as an armchair traveler!
When i was there a few years ago. I did a day tour and the guide told us that 20-30 years ago it was all green with tomatoes bananas and such. But these days they use the water for the tourists since they bring more money than agriculture.
Brilliant review thank u I'm going end of June so this helped
I’m not sure why anyone would want to go to wilderness, not an Island for
me, glad i saw your video Morgen Thank you 🙏 ❤
Very nice video, Morgan🤗
Morgan, Can you do a Hamburg or germany tour guild? I was in Berlin once, but want to see more of Germany.
Walking up and down hills on vacation = great workout and makes you less guilty when eating.
looks lovely :) so glad that you had a nice time:)
Thanks!
Thanks Morgan looks like a nice vacation if you were not that into the tennis. Maybe it would have been better if they had the correct amount of staffing.
Such a pretty hotel and beautiful island
I don't blame you for the regret of paying for all-inclusive. And I have issues standing in one place more than 5 minutes. I can walk easier than stand due to pain being constantly transferred to the various parts of the foot hitting the ground while walking. While standing, the feet are constantly in contact with the ground on the same pressure points. This means standing in line for a beverage is a big deal, as opposed to being seated & having wait staff bringing me a beverage.
Hey Morgan, I am totally with you on the all inclusive thing - it totally irks me when everybody can take advantage of services that you have paid extra for! 😂 Like on an airplane when I've paid for economy plus and others sneak up into that class and the Stewardesses don't say anything 🤷😱😂
Very good comparison!
Great video, thanks Morgan! Too far away for me (Aussie) but interesting none the less.
Great Video. How long did you have to wait in line for Drinks?
Maybe around 15 minutes. Really not that bad, actually.
I checked out rates for the resort, and it seems like very good value for what it includes.
Yes, we paid about €750 pp for 8 days. That's a great deal!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides wow, will be going in October with wife and a five year old in all inclusive for 1.100€ total. Not sure if your including flights and rental car, i am not, just hotel.
Bin gestern aus Lanzarote aus dem Urlaub anlässich meines runden Geburtstages zurück gekommen. 😉
Ich war im Ü16-Premium-Bereich des Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resot. Getränke ausserhalb des Mittag- und Abendessens mussten selbst geholt werden. Der Mann an der Bar war im Grunde für alles zuständig: Getränke ausgeben, aufräumen, Nachschub aus dem Lager holen. Das kann nicht gut gehen. Die Wartezeit war aber gering. Im Familienbereich der etwa 2/3 der Zimmer des Hotels hatte, war die Wartezeit glaube ich etwas länger.. Lag nach meinem Eindruck aber insgesamt eher an Personalmangel. Vielleicht haben sich - wie in Deutschland auch - viele nach Corona andere Jobs gesucht. 🤔
Ich habe vorher auch Angebote von anderen Hotels angeschaut. Meiner Meinung nach, muss wenn ich 1000€ (oder 1/3 des Preises für mein gebuchtes Hotel, inkl. Flug) mehr bezahle, auch wirklich alles passen. Da mache ich dann keine Kompromisse. D.h. vernünftiger Meerblick, modernes Zimmer. Der hier auch schon erwähnte Robinson war so ein Fall. Für ein altes, kleines Zimmer bei Halbpension mehr auszugeben mach für mich keinen Sinn. Ähnlich ging es mir auf den Kanaren auch mit den sicher sehr guten und mordernen Iberostar (mit Upgrade auf Erwachsenenbereich) oder den H10 Hotels.
Im Ort gab es übrigens für alle freie Tennis- und Padelplätze in einem öffentlichen Park 😉
Wear that crooked t-shirt with pride. You earned it!
I would've complained to the management, and maybe even asked for a partial refund when I saw the lack of control over the "inclusive" alcoholic drinks!
My interesting to myself thought...... after having been on 6 cruises, the only way I can see a destination resort working for me is if it focuses on something I am really into, but I just don't see that happening.... when I compare a land and cruise vacation... the cruise always gives more value and opportunity.
Totally get where you’re coming from!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuidesBack at you.... I can totally see these resorts for any manner of activity.....oh wait... ok I would consider a land based Scuba vacation, say in Bonaire or Curacao .. :) or maybe the Maldives, if I marry a millionaire.....
Per CZcams, some birds 🐦 share information to their family and can remember (where the food is at) for generations. Good luck with the “Don’t Feed The Birds 🦅 “ project 😮😢
For me, I tend to just follow the rules, even if some people around me aren't. I wouldn't feel bad about paying for the inclusive experience and then seeing others sneaking a bit of that experience without having paid for it. Their conscience is their problem. The only person I can control is me, and my choice is to follow the rules. I've been disappointed with myself in the past when I haven't. For me, that's what matters-my self-respect.
I know what you mean. At least you have a clean conscience!
Preach it Morgan! Stop feeding the damn birds people!! This is why we can’t have nice things!
THANK YOU!
Das Robinson Hotel ist besser!
Und teuerer! :-P
Please don’t feed the birds. Somehow people don’t realize that birds are perfectly capable of feeding themselves. I had a squirrel literally stalk me at the Disney Contemporary hotel in an attempt to get my nachos. I wish I was exaggerating. Never in my life have I feared a squirrel until that moment. I moved several tables over and he followed me and sat inches away from me on the neighboring chair in a pouncing position while he stared at my food. Don’t feed the wildlife!!
Does that squirrel haunt your dreams now? :-P
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 😂 I’ve moved on but I will never forget…
