Columbus Isle Bahamas

Thanks for an amazing tennis vacation!! Thanks especially to coaches Dylan, Andrea and Charles for going out of their way to make sure we had the best possible week.

The Bahamas weather this year made this year's tennis themed trip quite an adventure yet club's coaches Dylan, Andrea and Charles along with the yoga instructor Naomi made their best ro ensure we have an excellent time.

Hi Dylan, Andrea, and Charles,

Just wanted to send a big thank you for everything you did for our Toronto group at Club Med Columbus isle. You were all amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We were really impressed with the clinics you ran, the energy you brought every day, and the pro exhibition you did with coach Brett, it was a highlight of the trip. The tennis facilities were also first-class, and the Har-Tru courts were incredible.

You have an amazing team, and the three of you made our trip more special

Thanks again, and hope to see you soon!

As expected Club Med combined a romantic setting on a spectacular bay of Turkoise water, great food (beyond expectations), a fantastic team of GOs and non stop opportunities of sports and fun activities.
We enjoyed the sailing, diving, wing surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, pétanque; strengthening, stretching, Yoga and aquagym classes; the crazy signs, dancing and shows from the GOs every night.
Food was beyond what I remembered from our last visit, especially the fresh sea food and fish. The grill, sushi, ceviche, salads, cheese, stewed/curry meat including lamb. It was hard to eat less than 3-4 plates per meal. And the rosé was always appreciated. Just the ice creams were disappointing.
Just avoid long walks beyond the club med at sunset to avoid getting attacked by the sand flees.
A special thanks to the GO team, in particular Marie at the bar; Miaou, Behouz, Sacha, Leandro, Loic at the sailing club, Simon my buddy at diving, Lou the choreographer and great dancer, Marvin at fitness and above all Narumi from Fitness.
We just wish that the GOs would seat more with the GMs in general. They were often 2-3 together. Narumi and Maiou were good mingling with visitors.

Having vacationed for decades with Club Med, there is a distinct shift given the new owners. Food options are dismal . The grand platters of French cheeses are no longer, no onsite baker or pastry chef. All desserts tasted exactly the same as if Sara Lee flew in their cakes.
In years past the club had hostesses and GO’s introducing themselves at the dining area and escorted single couples to larger tables to find new dinner companions. If you are coming with a large group of friends or family or are a romantic twosome this would not be a concern. Now the dining experience was reminiscent of highschool with a loud cafeteria vibe.
This club has a beautiful beach, sailing & other water sport offering. Sadly every one of their courts were for tennis. Not one court converted for the pickleball enthusiasts.
