Columbus Isle Bahamas

Full circle. In 1984 I vacationed with my French mother at Club Med Punta Cana and have the best memories. Last week I took my daughter to Club Med Columbus Isle. I didn't know what to expect so many years later but it was beyond! The most beautiful unspoiled
Island I have ever visited. Warm Turquoise waters, the best scuba and snorkeling, sailing and water skiing. The food is superb. The breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets have everything you could imagine. 10 stations, a room of just cheese and bread and desserts. Fresh baked baguettes, croissant fresh squeezed OJ, and when you want a change of pace you can go to the other restaurant for steak and lobster with waitstaff service. Then there is the beach bar which is so much fun. In a way it's a throwback and a mix adult summer camp with a French influence and club Med tradition of community. The accommodations aren't the Ritz but we had the cutest bungalow that was very spacious. The staff from the head of Village to all the GO's and all the excursions managers to housekeeping and food service were exceptional. I loved the themed nights, nightly shows performed by the staff and dancing til the wee hours at the beach bar. The sunsets were amazing and we have memories for a lifetime.

The waterski experience at this Club Med is truly one that can not be rivaled. I spent most of my day waterskiing, not only because of the fun of the sport, but also because of the incredible environment created by the waterski GOs. Whatever time of day, they always had a smile on their faces and would never fail to create arguably the best environment on the entire island. I want to shout out Coco, who is such an incredible person inside and out and one of the kindest people you will meet, alongside an amazing boat driver. I adored our conversations for the last 3 years at the drops. Leandro never failed to make me laugh and I loved every second on the dock. PO was always cracking a joke and always a joy to be around. Jacob was one of the nicest people to talk to! Laurent was so fun to get to know and always was in a great mood as well! Tristan was also a relatable person and a joy to debrief with, as well as see on the dock when he was there. Finally, Loic had energy that could light up any room and make everyone ready to party. All of these people truly made my trip the best one yet (out of 10 times coming to this Club Med.) Our lunches and dinners, that we all shared were some of my favorites, and this entire group made my trip as incredible as it was. Thank you all!

I had an unforgettable time waterskiing during my trip to the Bahamas in June. I want to give a special shout-out to Leandro, Coco, PO, Loïc, and Laurent – the waterski team who made the whole experience incredible.

They were super professional, friendly, and full of energy. It was my first time trying waterskiing, and they were so patient and encouraging. Thanks to their guidance and support, I felt safe and had so much fun learning. They turned a simple activity into a highlight of my vacation.

If you're heading to this resort and thinking of trying waterskiing, don’t miss the chance to meet this amazing crew – they truly make it worth it!

We had a great 3rd time at this resort. The ba=each and property is absolutely gorgeous! The waterskiing was a true highlight of ur family trip! My husband became scuba certified in their top notch program. We had 4 rooms and each had a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. For a small isolated island, the kitchen makes the most delicious meals and food is always available! Highly recommend.

Excellent experience. Special thanks to Julia for her impecable service and friendliness!!! Many thanks as well to Ben and his scuba team, 22 great dives. Alain
