Club Med Insider

Is this a good place to go in late June with my wife and 17 year old graduate high school senior daughter?

Will it be too hot to enjoy the beach at this time?

I went to many Club Med's as a single in the 1970s and 1980s. Is the continental feeling still there?

How is the food and the programming at this club?

Thanks,

Hi! My husband and I and our 2 children, 4 and 6 will be traveling to Club Med Punta Cana in August. I, even in the states, have a very weak stomach and am worried about us getting sick there due to the water and/or food. Is all the water filtered or should we only drink bottled? I read to steer clear of peeled fruits and vegetables as well. I know there was an outbreak of Cholera not too long ago?!
Also are there problems with mosquitos?!
Thanks so much! We are very excited! Read More ›

Travelling with a 9-month old: The responses I have read about baby food speak generally about "baby food jars" and "purees" in the baby corner. Would you be more specific? Are these brandname purees which come in jars from companies like Gerber or Heinz? Also, is there a varied selection of pureed fruits and vegetables? Finally, are there any dried baby foods (just add water), such as oatmeal and rice cereals?

Thank you. Read More ›

Hi! I will going to Ixtapa in May and this will be my first club med with a little one (our 6 months old). My question is for any advice on preparing food for her. She will be mostly drinking formula and I'm nervous about mixing powder with the water there. Is that a concern? Has anyone had experience with that (good or bad?) I just want to avoid any stomach issues! :)
I would bring the pre-made formula, but they are cumbersome for the luggage. Am I able to ship them to the resort? I know customs was mentioned in an early question, has anyone does this before?
thanks,Kate
Also- Is mid-May considered low season? Any idea how booked the village will be? Read More ›

I am leaving for a Club Med in Punta Cana in 4 days with my 5 months old baby. What kind of baby food is provided there? Do I need to bring any blankets? What kind of cribs does this resort have? What would you recommend to bring along for a 5 months old? Thank you!!! Read More ›

HI there,
We will be at the resort in the New Year with our 10 month old and I had a few questions about the baby services:
- what exactly does the baby food corner entail (any way that I can get info on what kinds of foods are serve so I can figure out if I really need to bring 50 cans of jarred food)
- does the resort have a floatation ring/device for babies to use in the pool (obviously not to be left alone)

Thanks!

We will be staying at Club Med Punta Cana in January 2010. It's our very first family vacation abroad - 6 of us, including 4 kids! \\\
\\\
Anyways, just a few question I hope you can answer.\\\
\\\
1. How much cash should one anticipate spending while at the resort for a 2 week stay? Is there anything food/beverage-wise that costs extra, or additional costs that Club Med charges upon arrival or discharge?\\\
2. What is the preferred currency one should take?\\\
3. I have some kids that really want to swim with the dolphins. Does Club Med offer an excursion or is it better to arrange that on one's own. If the latter, what is the best and safest company to deal with?\\\
4. What is the security like at Club Med. Is it safe to go into town?\\\
5. Is there an excursion one can take to visit sugar canes, banana plantations, etc. that is safe?\\\
6. Does Club Med Punta Cana offer internet service? If so, is there a fee?\\\
