The mini club team were amazing, made my sons time really special (and mine really relaxed!!) - thank you Lena, Laurie, Nathan, Louis, Leonie, Maxime, Xavier, Daniela, Rodolfo, Melissa, Nae, Richard, Elisa, and Marty for your energy, fun, sense of humour and kindness ✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨🙏🏻✨
We are a smallish company that have an away week each year and were excited about trying Club Med. Our initial correspondence with Anne-Cecile, Tilly and Sophie was great! So informative and helpful. They really cared about the details and were very patient with our group.
They provided top customer service and created a very positive experience for our group. The conference room was great, perfect size, new screen setup and useful audio. Coffee breaks were always on time and enjoyable.
All our meals at the buffet were delicious and wide variety. They reserved us an area every meal and even offered us outside seating on the warming evenings.
Our group is made up of 23 - 65 year olds and all the facilities were enjoyed by all, especially volley ball and table tennis.
The bar staff were always so attentive and even started to remember our drinks by the end of the week. Thank you to all the Club Med team for a wonderful experience.
Wonderful vacation! Our 7 year old son enjoyed the miniclub, but he loved his 1st golflessons with Tristan the most! Super friendly GO’s everywhere (too many nice ones to name individually), miniclub and all other activities very easy accessible the way it suits you and your family. It’s not a brand new building but the place has a very nice atmosphere and very enjoyable to stay.
