Club Med Insider

Even though I love Club Med Turkoise (been there three times in one year), it would be great to have an adults-only club on the west coast of North America. During my last trip to Turkoise, I hung out with folks from the left coast... it's a long flight to the Caribbean from LAX, SFO and points north. So Club Med, please leave turkoise an adults-only club and bring us at least one on the West coast of North America. The large populaton of baby boomers in the US are done with child-rearing; we like to vacation without other people's kids! Maybe Club Med could buy a resort in Playa del Carmen?

No question: Turkoise! I just signed up for my fourth trip in two years! There's always something fun to do (even if it is nothing more active than turning the pages of a book on a lounge chair at the most beautiful beach I have ever seen!). Seriously, I did 5 windjammer cruises as a single (went by myself from ages 48-51) and had a blast. Club Med compares very favorably to the party atmosphere of (now defunct) Windjammer Barefoot Cruises. Lots of fun guests who are friendly and ready to invite a single to join them at a meal or other CM activity. The GOs at Turkoise are also great people. very friendly! (BTW, I almost went to Columbus Isle, figuring that it would be mostly adults, since there was no school holiday. Fortunately, one of the Club Med reservation agents told me that CI caters more to COUPLES and few singles go there, so I might not like it as much as Turkoise. Whew! That would have been an expensive mistake!

Yep.. turkoise is great for singles.. and people travelling by themselves. I have become a Silver member just by going to Turks. Love the place.... but it sure would be great to have a CM in western Mexico for North Americans living in the west part of the country. Please, please, Club Med... help make singles (and couples without kids!) comfortable. the last email I received didn't even try to attract singles!!!!

Hi. Getting back to your question (what should club med do for frequent CMs), it would be great to get an upgraded room of choice, a free massage (outdoor) or maybe a boutique gift card. Of the three, I'd pick the upgraded room, because (as a single) I seem to spend the most on that of the three. Or how about a prepaid bundle of trips? Thanks for asking!
