We have had the most fantastic experience at this Club Med ever! My husband and I went with our daughter, her husband and 2 boys - 7 and 5. The property is located in a beautiful, and naturally preserved beach / dense "jungle," and it is protected from the elements. There was no wind and we were blessed with great weather the whole week. The small houses are surrounded by tropical shrubs and palms, the grounds are meticulously manicured and maintained. Accommodations are spacious, modern and appointed with great taste. Everything was clean to perfection.
This is not a big hotel so you feel at home everywhere you go. And there are so many activities for children and adults that you can be busy all day long or relax and enjoy the pristine nature, whatever is your preference. We kept busy...:).
My husband played tennis twice per day and the rest of us joined him late afternoon, after the other activities wound down. There was so many other things all day long that my head was spinning... From coconut toss competition, to family castle building and partying, to barbecue - all on the beach, to learning how to wing surf, to taking a kayaking trip to the next big bay, to exercising with tireless Marie, to playing fun kids games in the pool, to partying at the Mini Club and using their amazing waterslides, to playing soccer on the beach or on the grass, or playing basketball, to trapeze or archery classes for kids and adults, to yoga classes all day (unfortunately, we did not have time for that - next time for sure), to parties and entertainment programs at night - again separately for kids and for adults - it was just amazing!!! This Club Med has a very special upbeat atmosphere and their multinational G.O. team is spectacular. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful and well-versed in their area of expertise. The G.O,'s were also cross-training in other fields, which was great. The General Manager, Theo, was not just doing a stellar job all day long managing the place, he also participated in theatre and trapeze shows at night! And all of this was included in our package!!!
Moreover, we are still trying to loose the weight w gained during our visit because the food was out of this world. There is one main restaurant open for all 3 meals - which are always different. There are so many "stations" with delectable best quality foods that I could not resist trying almost everything... From filet mignon to ahi tuna and everything in between, from French to Indian, Korean, Dominican and all other kids of foods, all topped with French desserts... A total disaster for anyone on a diet! Aakshay, this restaurant's manager, and his team, were unbeatable. BTW, there is a choice of different rooms and terraces for eating your meal in the main restaurant - all beautifully appointed. And, if you did not want to deal with children - which were many - there were adults only spaces. We did gain quite a bit of weight but we enjoyed every tasty bite of it...:). The Coco Palm restaurant was also very nice for lunch; different kinds of barbecues were served, along with live music while enjoying your meal steps from the ocean. The boys were delighted with special children mocktails at the bars - too cute!!!
In addition to all the activities that were included at this Club Med, we decided to go to a fishing/snorkeling excursions and it was very nice. We had our own boat and 3 great guides to help us with everything - Wandy, Unico and Jose. They had all the fishing and snorkeling equipment for us and the kids and we had a blast. We also did horseback riding, through the "jungle" and beach and it was very nice. And finally, we did electric jet surf board excursion, which was a lot of fun. The kids were too small for it this year but the rest of us loved the experience. We rented 2 boards and all 6 of us were taken by boat so a nearby large and calm cove and just had fun. Highly recommend. Gilbert organized all of the excurzions for us and his team was amazing accommodating us in every way.
Finally, I could not remember all the names of wonderful G.O.s; but I do know some. Masimilliano the Sports manager was very friendly and attentive. So was Anik at the front desk; we loved Leo who did some of the kids' activities, especially the Banana search and the Sand castle building competition. And Leo was the guardian of the Chocolate room - the boys will never forget that experience!!! I cannot remember the name of the amazing trapeze/circus master (he is from the US), but he and his team kept us entertained during the day when we wanted to practice and especially at night with breathtaking shows.
Thank you all - we will certainly be back for more!!!
