Has the beer improved at Turkoise? On my last trip in Nov/2008 the only beer available in the all inclusive package was Turks Head! How that beer can be called a premium beverage is beyond me. Club Med Cancun has Corona and Modelo Negron beers. Punta Cana has Presidente beer. La Caravelle has Stella Artois beer. All of these can be classified as "premium" beverages. Turks Head Lager?...no way. If Turks Head Lager is a premium beer, why does Club med Turkoise charge $5 for a bottle of Budweiser? Is Budweiser a super, super premium beer?
In defense of Turks Head Lager. If it is served ICE COLD, then it's ok. There is no ice cold beer in Club Med Turkoise after 10:30 AM!

Why is the beer at Turkoise such bilge? (Turks Head Lager/Amber). The stuff is really vile. If it ice cold it's drinkable, but there is no such thing as an ice cold beer at Sharkies, nor at the main bar. In Club Med Cancun, one gets to drink Corona (very good) or Modelo Negra (very good). In Club Med La Caravelle on the island of Guadalupe, the beer is Stella Artois (excellent). In Turkoise, the only choice is Turks Head! But, you can purchase a 12 ounce bottle of Budweiser for $5!!! Here's a tip for you beer drinkers visiting Turkoise. Throw a 30 pack of your favorite brew into your check-in luggage. Put your clothes into your carry on!

We have visited Turkoise 10 times, the most recent visit was Nov, 2008. We were quite dismayed as to how run down the club had become. The area around the pool was a mess of cracked and broken concrete. The beer was usually warm and of poor quality (Turks Head???). Upon speaking to a few GO's the prevailing opinion was that Turkoise would probably be closed within 2 years. Something about Club Med's lease expiring. Anyone know anything about this rumor?
