Turkoise Turks and Caicos

Returned to Turks to practice trapeze with the excellent Circus Team. (Mason, Jacob, Elise, Morgan & Jake.) Spent time daily with the sailing GOs, a fun group of guys. (Raphael 1, Nathan, Loic, Eric, & Rafael 2.) Snorkelled with GOs Anne and Cam at shark reef. Took a variety of yoga classes with guest instructors. Best of all, my brother joined me on this trip. Good sibling time without tripping over one another. I do have a soft spot for Club Med.

This being our 2nd time to Turkoise, the first being in May 2024 we had something to compare with. The resort itself is much the same. Fantastic beach, Facilities are aged but functional and perfectly fine for us. The pool is well kept as it the grounds keeping. The activities are also well run. I do want to give a special shout out to Salma the current spa manager. She is a very nice and accommodating person. Friendly and very easy to speak with. The massage therapists are also very nice folks. They are professional and well trained. Thanks to Sarah, a fellow Canuck for a great 90 massage!
We've always found the food at the restaurant well prepared with a good variety to choose from. No complaints there.
As is typical with Club Med the staff turnover is great. There were very few people left from last years visit. With the exception of a couple talented trapeze artists, one of which is now also moving on there weren't many we recognized. Which wouldn't be an issue except there was definitely something lacking this year. The bar staff just didn't seem very interested or engaging. Some were better than others a mixing drinks, some strong mixes, some very weak. Jackson in particular just didn't seem to want to be there. Very curt and almost rude to some guests. We also noticed a big difference with the "crazy signs" party's after the shows. They take place at the main bar which doesn't have a lot of space to begin with but this year it was mostly taken over by staff, all with name tags meaning there was very little room or actual guests to participate. Last year it was the opposite. So it just didn't have the same vibe as it seemed more like a "staff party" that we were witnessing. Another problem this year over last was the amount of smoking, weed and vaping on the beach. I was actually surprised last year that people actually respected the fact that there are only a couple of designated smoking areas on the property and they stuck to those areas. This year it was tough to find a spot on the beach without the smell of weed or cigarettes, all being dropped in the sand when finished. The was disappointing and sad to see. I suppose we expected the same energy and fun we had in 2024 but just didn't find it this year due in large part to the difference of approach with the staff or the way the Chief of Village is running it. Either way we will give this resort a break and try something new next year. There are still plenty of positives with this resort.

If you get a chance to go, DO IT! This was a fantastic getaway in an English-speaking country that uses the US dollar for currency. Club Med is an adult-only resort, and it was great not to have to dodge children at the pool or any of the other facilities. All-inclusive food and drinks were also a perk. The weather was perfect, and the sun was just right.

A great holiday thanks to the beautiful location and amazing stuff that work so hard to make every guest feel very special.

Every single one of the staff at this resort goes over the top and appreciates you!! They are willing to help you; show them some love and they will willing chat back!! They all deserve more than one day off a week and a few more people could be hired to help out! The cleaning staff is a 10/10. The amazing lady that was coming with towels to the yoga!!!
