Amaury Review Club Med Miches

5/55/5 • 7/31/2025

I’ve been to many Club Med resorts in my 18 years of life, and I can confidently say this one is another solid choice. Each Club Med has its own vibe, and that’s what makes them so special—every experience is a little different. That said, this one stood out as one of the best I’ve been to.

First off, the food was fantastic! As part of the Exclusive Collection, Club Med Michès definitely delivered with outstanding fish and meat plates, full of bold and exciting flavors. I was genuinely impressed by the variety and quality across all meals. One small downside was the guacamole—it wasn’t quite up to Club Med standards. But honestly, that’s one tiny detail in what was otherwise a top-tier culinary experience. They even had caviar and foie gras at the main restaurant, which is insane in the best way!

When it comes to entertainment, I’ve been to some Club Meds where they had shows every night but no one really showed up. Here, they opted for shows every other night—and they were high-quality productions with great energy. I think that balance actually worked better. The resort size was perfect—not too big, so everything was within walking distance, but not too small either, so you could still enjoy peace and quiet in your room without hearing music from the parties.

Now onto the heart of the resort—the G.O.s. The staff here were nothing short of amazing, and a few deserve a special shoutout.

First, DJ Andro and his colleague Uriel. Andro has one of the toughest jobs: pleasing multiple cultures at once through music. During my stay, there were Argentinians, Brazilians, and a large French crowd—and he managed to keep the dance floor alive by blending everyone’s musical tastes in a way that felt effortless. People often underestimate the challenge of being a Club Med DJ—everyone feels their favorite songs should be played because they paid to be there. But Andro and Uriel understood the bigger picture: they were there to keep everyone dancing. And they nailed it.

Next, I want to highlight the Teen Club G.O.s: Nico, Luna, and Séverine. Working with teens is no easy task. Getting teenagers excited, engaged, and participating in activities takes real talent—and they absolutely crushed it. They were approachable, never pushy, and knew exactly how to balance structure with fun. As a teen myself, I appreciated their energy and chill attitude. Talking with them also inspired me personally. I’m hoping to become a G.O. myself next summer, and our conversations really sparked a desire to do a season—or maybe more—in the future.

Jonathan and Tchwezegger were great additions to the evening vibe. Even when they weren’t required to be around, they stayed to help boost the party atmosphere. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about the Club Med experience. Alan, who led many of the sports activities, also stood out. He brought top-level energy while always keeping safety a priority. I saw him handle some tough situations calmly and professionally, especially with guests who were being disrespectful or breaking rules. He stayed composed, and that really impressed me.

Lastly, Amine, Mehdi, and Jalal were incredible all-around. While I did feel that this Club Med was missing a bit of that classic G.O.-eats-with-G.M. interaction, Jalal made up for it. He joined us for dinner and had real conversations—it was refreshing and added so much to the experience. Both Mehdi and Amine were super active around the resort—you could always see them involved, present, and giving their all. Their dedication didn’t go unnoticed.

Overall, this experience was top-tier. Sure, there are some small areas for improvement—like the room interiors, which could use a slight refresh to fully match the “Exclusive Collection” label—but the speakers and endless snacks and drinks definitely made up for that. Each Club Med has its unique strengths, and that’s what makes the brand so special. No two are the same, and this one proved just how great that can be.

Hopefully next year I will be picked up as a GO as it has been a life long dream and hope everyone who have the skills and desires to do it should definitely do it!
Thank you Club Med Miches!!

Club Med Michès: A Slice of Paradise

5/55/5 • 7/24/2025

I absolutely loved my recent stay at Club Med Michès!

The beach here is truly spectacular—one of the most breathtaking I’ve seen anywhere in the world. If you venture toward the left side of the resort, you’ll find secluded area that feels like your own private paradise.

The food at Club Med Michès is a gastronomic delight, especially on white night with all the seafood and sushi. They offer acai bowls, detox water and detox green juice, amazing assortment of chesses and let’s not forget the secret chocolate room—a magical treat for all ages!

Don’t miss the yoga palapa. My first meditation class there was when I truly felt myself slip into vacation mode. The yoga canopy, surrounded by lush jungle and always shaded, made each class a unique, peaceful experience. I tried aerial yoga for the first time—! I’ve never encountered such an offering at any other resort.

A special mention goes to Theo, the chef du village, who is truly the heart of the resort. His energy is infectious—he seemed to be everywhere at once, and seeing his commitment to training and even performing in the trapeze show demonstrated his deep implication.

The Zen pool quickly became our afternoon sanctuary for unwinding and reading after lunch. The atmosphere was tranquil and refreshing.
I’m already dreaming of my return to Club Med Michès.

Family Birthday celebration in style

5/55/5 • 7/22/2025

Club Med Miches doesn’t disappoint. My 2nd visit, we celebrated a significant family birthday in style. All 5 of us were pampered from beginning to end. Shout outs to Top, head of the Circus program who taught 3 of 5 of us trapeze skills, Allan from Sports for Bocci and Archery and Enock for greeting us warmly again after 2 years. We truly enjoy spending time with you Enock!

A trip to Club Med Miches is a trip to paradise and returning makes one feel like a visit with friends and family.
