| Club Med was a great experience. Food was delicious, service was great, staff was friendly and professional, resort was beautiful. #1 recommendation for families because they have activities for the kids, most resorts dont babysit your kids while you lay out on the beach with a margarita. Dont recommend it for a group of single guys or girls. Mainly for couples of any type and family. Extremely satisified even though i was with a few other single girls.

| If you go...take a taxi from airport to hotel. It's $10Us per family and only 10 minutes away. If your room isn't ready...change into swimwear packed in your carry-on an don't but them. Your room will be ready late in the day (5PM ish) but if you listen to them tell you "5 more minutes" from 1PM -5PM you'll be needlessly aggrevated.We'd return ...especially with children under the age of 12. it's heaven for parents & kids.
