I have been going to Club Med for years and to Columbus Isle for the 4th time. I was there last week and as always enjoyed the beauty of the beach and the scuba diving at Columbus Isle. Having been there for so many times over the years, I do notice the decline in the village and its services. This... More

Great place to get away from cars, phones, work and just relax. 2. Scuba diving is very good with excellent staff to help you enjoy your diving. Reef sharks on every dive and sometimes a... More

The booking: I booked directly through the Club Med website number listed (1-888-932-2582). I was connected to an agent who was very attentive and accommodating. I requested a specific room location due to mobility issues. I upgraded to a 2nd floor, and it was well worth it. I was told the upgrade included internet connection, it did NOT. The Pre-Communication:... More

I really don't like to read the negative reviews about this club. I think most of the poor ratings come from people that just aren't happy in general. We love the club and find the staff amazing. Our son took his first tennis lesson there years ago and still plays. We think the food is fantastic and enjoy company at... More
