Club Med Insider

I will be traveling with my four young kids (5,4,2,6 mos) what do I need to bring besides the obvious? Do the older kids need gym shoes for the circus? Do I need gym shoes for the zumba? I have heard about theme nights, how can I find out what they are? Do they provide swim goggles for the kids? I am trying to pack as little as possible! Read More ›

I was thinking about buying a tent to protect my 18 month old from the sand. Has anyone done this before and where did you end up buying your tent? Read More ›

Is it possible to get a kids club schedule for the time we will be in Cancun? It would be great to be able to prepare my girls for the types of activities to expect.
While I'm at it... Could I get the "dress" themes for the time we're there so we can be sure to pack the right clothes?
We'll be there May 8 - 15, 2010. Read More ›

As I will be travelling to this resort in a couple of weeks with two young children, I am concerned about a recent Trip Advisor review about this resort in which Salmonella poisoning referred to. This family reports they became very ill and had to take their dehydrated 2 year-old by cab to a clinic for IV. They claim to have received little to no assistance from Club Med Ixtapa staff, and the review is actually quite scathing. Although this reviewer attributed the problem to Iguana feces in and around the resort, another Trip Advisor member commented on seeing kitchen staff using the same utensils for raw meat and serving the food. This member also mentioned getting sick. Could a Club Med rep please provide comment on this site, or post a manager's response on Trip Advisor? Thank you. Read More ›

Hi, there didn't seem to be a topic that this question would fall under so I simply picked one.

I have been to 2 Club Med resorts in the past year. In both resorts, the shop sold these little purses that the women and GO's wore on their arms/wrists.

I neglected to buy one at the resort but cannot seem to find them anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy one outside of Club Med? If not, can I buy one from a CM website?

Please don't tell me I have to wait until my next Club Med holiday to purchase one.

Many thanks,

I spent my holidays at Club Med Punta Cana from 01/02/2010 until 12/02/2010. The day before our departure I met someones eyes at the pool and I was struck by lightning...never experienced such a thing...love at first sight... The day after I saw him on the beach (southern type light eyes and black/white/green bollboang swimshirt, in a group of 6 to 8 persons) and in the evening at the restaurant. The only thing we did was staring and smiling at each other .... unfortunately. I really regret we did not seize the opportunity to talk, and I wonder, who is this man, riding its bicycle in my head ever since...does someone know? Read More ›
