Hi, I'm Vando and welcome to Vando Reviews! I help you make better decisions for your families about things to eat, attractions to visit and holiday resorts to stay at! What started out as a cricket and GoPro page now has turned into a review site. What happened? Well, I had kids and started looking at life through a different lens, thinking about the kind of things a parent wants to know when sussing out the options. I'm Sydney based so much of the content is Sydney-centric but when we travel interstate and overseas we'll capture that too. There's some other random stuff as well which some people seem to like. Enjoy!
A great review, unlike most reviewers who seem to aim them at superfit daredevil walkaholics who have inexhaustible energy, you have targeted the "averageJoe" with all his apprehensions and fears, an honest approach.Well done,Having watched your video I now am confident I can do it without much trepidation,If only other outdoor enthusiasts were so honest in their appraisals
This place looks great and will likely book a week there soon. Going for the ‘all inclusive’ option which includes all meals, beverages etc. As a Club Med fanatic this place looks very similar - especially the all inclusive option which is what Club Med offers at all their resorts, unfortunately they don’t have one in the South Pacific (anymore) but we are going back to CM Bali later this year.
This is a great video! I was thinking of booking my family here but it is very difficult to get a real feel for the resort by just looking at the website. Your walkabout with the video has convinced me. The vibe looks great! Thank you so much!
Wow the sand dunes look like so much fun! I recently stayed at the Koala Sanctuary in Port Stephens and went down to this beach but didn't do the sand dunes. Definitely thinking I need to do it next time. I vlogged my trip too 🐨
@@vandoreviews Fallen ? I'd say it's a rather nice retirement spot for an unappreciated and forgotten provider of life sustaining, budget products. BI LO , retire HIGH. Well done BI LO. It was actually a Mongolian BBQ hut in the early 90's when I went there as a kid, and we seemed to be the only ones who knew about it.
@@DTBiscuits Actually that's true, BI-LO had it all worked out! I'll never forget the time we first went to the Fern Tree Gully outlet, I think when it swapped from a Franklins, and were blown away at the modest pricing
Now that's the type of reviews I've been looking for. Thank you for that. I never would have considered this resort til now. There is so many and as you said, not detailed info. They all look the same on paper. Thank you
Absolutely fantastic, so helpful, thank you for posting this (and thanks for the few laughs along the way). It gave me a much better idea of what I was booking, where everything was placed and made me feel more confident about my decision :)
Enjoy, I wish I was going back too! The nanny we had was Lulu but there are a lot of nannys available and they all seem to have a relaxed aura about them with years of experience.
I hope you don’t mind. I shared it to the Shangri-la Fiji page as there are so many people traveling there asking questions about rooms, food and the kids club. Your video showed everything and I thought it would help the others as it did me! 🙏
@@Andytheevien They have 2 FM Radio Frequencies that you would tune into, they'll usually hand you the frequency for your chosen movie on a piece of paper at the ticket box. The speaker boxes are now just decorative pieces, as well as serving as a marker for car spots (the speaker boxes are spaced 2 car spots apart). Too many people damaged them over the decades by backing their car into the speaker poles and driving off without paying for the damage, making it expensive to replace constantly. So........FM radio it is! It's actually pretty common in most drive-in's worldwide to use FM now.
That was the package that we bought, pretty much ate ourselves stupid. There may have been a couple that we paid for, I can't recall? There's different deals you can look at.
2:08 we stayed in December 19 exact same room 😂 that bathroom door was hard to open/close amazing place to stay love the staff and food not to mention the water ! Awesome review mate see you at the bilo bar ;)
Went here a few years ago with my parents/family, looking to go back and it still looks as beautiful when I went as a kid! Thanks for the awesome review 🙌🏼
jodeofoz the resort was fantastic. We actually recieved a free room upgrade to a ocean front suite. Food was amazing, and the people were amazing. Definitely recommended by my wife and I. And our 16month old are for free the entire trip.
