This year was 13th time at Caribian Club Meds. 11 times at Columbus Isle. We love it.
Enjoy quite beach time and water activities. We like the catamarans !!
Lots of young staff, and organizers. You don't have to participate in any of it, if you don't feel like working out or learning new sports. VERY beautiful beach, aqua colored.

Prepare for White Night, Neon, 45, Black elegant, and so on. It's fun and most people do follow the dress codes. Again, no must do. Shows are very entertaining too.
All with excellent French Cuisine, 3 times a day.....if you want to gain weight.
If not, choose carefully how much you load onto your plates.

We choose 2 week stays for the last 6 visits. One week is soooo short. Flying in from Miami. Everybody watches the Montreal plane landing on Tuedays, and Paris direct on Thursdays. Club is only half mile from airport, but only the 3 mentioned jetliners landing each week.

Late July stay at Columbus isle

4/54/5 • 8/8/2025

Spent 2 weeks this summer. Changed from our usual 2 weeks at Clubmed Punta Cana.

Pluses:

  • great setting, beautiful beach with no other hotels, pristine water with wildlife. No seaweed
  • good scuba diving (at a cost). Well run team with very good equipment/boats
  • good selection of free watersports (paddle, hobbiecat sailing, waterski) and good beach volley
  • good laid back atmosphere

Neutral

  • Food was OK. Some very good (pizzas and pasta were very well executed) others more plain and not best presented compared to other clubmeds like Punta Cana.
  • Wine selection is poor and can do with simple improvement

Minuses

  • Not tightly run compared to other clubmeds. Felt like staff were not tightly managed and the resort manager was quite absent
  • Bedrooms could do with modernisation (ours had no decoration - just painted walls and felt a bit like a hospital)
  • need more shade: more sun umbrellas and more trees need to be planted to provide natural shade (especially when you compare with the punta cana clubmed)

Full circle. In 1984 I vacationed with my French mother at Club Med Punta Cana and have the best memories. Last week I took my daughter to Club Med Columbus Isle. I didn't know what to expect so many years later but it was beyond! The most beautiful unspoiled
Island I have ever visited. Warm Turquoise waters, the best scuba and snorkeling, sailing and water skiing. The food is superb. The breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets have everything you could imagine. 10 stations, a room of just cheese and bread and desserts. Fresh baked baguettes, croissant fresh squeezed OJ, and when you want a change of pace you can go to the other restaurant for steak and lobster with waitstaff service. Then there is the beach bar which is so much fun. In a way it's a throwback and a mix adult summer camp with a French influence and club Med tradition of community. The accommodations aren't the Ritz but we had the cutest bungalow that was very spacious. The staff from the head of Village to all the GO's and all the excursions managers to housekeeping and food service were exceptional. I loved the themed nights, nightly shows performed by the staff and dancing til the wee hours at the beach bar. The sunsets were amazing and we have memories for a lifetime.
