Club Med Insider

Hi!

I'm going to be traveling to Ixtapa CM over the Christmas holidays with my family in 2011.
Just wondering if I can find out what the colours/themes while we are there?
Also I've read some disturbing reviews about food poisoning. What's going on with that?

Thanks so much! I can't wait to get there! Read More ›

Room selection? I think the Club Med website is confusing . Trying to decide between family club room and the club room that has a balcony overlooking the gardens (NOT the $$ suite). I'm leaning towards having a room with a balcony, both are close to same square footage. Has anyone stayed in balcony room ? Are these anywhere near sewage or mosquito area (or has sewage smell been fixed)?

Also concern about what to do with 20 month old baby who normally goes to bed around 7:00 ?? How much does it cost to have a baby sitter come to the room so we can enjoy dinner and maybe the show? I know there's baby club but I like the idea of having private sitter come to the room if this is possible. Read More ›

Hello,
Our family (husband and I and our 12 yr old daughter and 11 yr old son) are heading to Ixtapa on Aug 28 (Sun) for a week. (so excited!!) This will be our first club med vacation and I had a few questions:

1. How do the family suites differ from the reg rooms? Are they worth the additional cost?

2. What are the differnces between the three restaurants? How do you make reservations for the restaurant and are they necessary?

3. What is not included in the room cost? Ie scuba diving? Tours?

4. How much are the massage services and do they need to be pre-booked?

5. I read somewhere there are theme nights with dress codes?

Thank you very much for your time and help and is there a website o contact that would be a better avenue if I have more questions?

Thanks again,

We are visiting Club Med Ixtapa March 25-March 31 and heard there might be a dress code/theme nights. How do we find out about this?
Thank you Read More ›

Did they fix the bad smells wafting over the resort from the sewer/water treatment facility nearby? Read More ›

I booked a trip for my 15 year old daughter and I. It will be a bitter-sweet trip. My husband recently passed away and it will be our 1st vacation without him. It will also be a 1st to Club Med, my parents have been to a few of the adult only Club Meds and recommended we try a family resort. We will be traveling from mid to late March. I have several questions.

Are the normally quite a few teens visiting at this time? What types of activities are available for them specifically?

Can I expect to meet other single parents or are the GM's typically married couples with children?

What are the current dress color themes? I would like to shop/pack accordingly.

Last question... I booked our airfare separate from the resort because we had air miles. Can I pay Club Med for transfers from/to the airport? I feel much safer than taking a cab.

THANKS

Do you have standard rooms with two beds? Not a family suite but more of a traditional hotel room with two beds. Also what safety measures are taken? Thank you Read More ›

We're booked for 10 days in Ixtapa. It now seems like everyone I talk to here in Canada is very down on Mexico with the recent explosion and frequent violence we here about in the news. Is the area safe? Can we visit Ixtapa & Zihuatano with the kids while there? Read More ›

We're planning a repeat trip Jan.22-29/11. I've just found out that part of the resort is also booked for a Kosher holiday during this period with one of the restaurants booked exclusively for that group.
How will this affect our experience this year? Last year we enjoyed this time of year b/c the resort was not so busy.
Can we also have accesss to the kosher restaurant (my Jewish friends tell me the food there will be better)? Read More ›
