Most
Club Med villages in the North American zone (Caribbean,
Mexico, Tahiti) now offer in-room telephones, televisions
and personal safes. Upscale villages will also have
hairdryers and mini-fridges. Many of them have been
recently renovated for added comfort and style.
By the way, for you newcomers to Club Med, the word
"village" is a Club Med "resort". |
| Sports
. . . |
|
All
Club Med villages offer a wide variety of sports
activities. Most Club Meds have a sports team headed
by a sports manager. These villages, depending on
the sport and destination, offer lessons for beginners,
lessons for all levels, sports equipment for you
to use (without lessons) and a selection of additional
cost special courses for certain disciplines, subject
to availability. At all Club Med resorts the material
and equipment provided is regularly maintained and
renewed. |
|
| Dining
. . . |
|
 |
In
all villages, it's the Club Med tradition to enjoy
expansive buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Many villages also offer alternative dining for
dinner at their specialty restaurants. At Club Med,
breakfasts offer an ample and nutritious array of
choices while lunches and dinners feature a host
of international and local dishes. Buffets become
more varied and elaborate as the villages become
more upscale. All Club Med resorts offer unlimited
beer, wine, soft drinks and fruit drinks with your
lunch and dinner. Meals are served at Club Med's
traditional tables of eight, allowing you to eat
with friends and even make new ones. Tables of 2,
4 and 6 people are also available in certain villages. |
| Children
. . . |
|
| All
children's Club Med villages offer children's club
facilities 6 days a week and include a variety of
sports and leisure activities for all ages. Most
Club Med Mini Clubs have separate areas for different
groups* (i.e. 4 to 6 yrs, 6 to 8 yrs and 8 up to
12 yrs).
* A few budget-priced villages accommodate Mini
Club children in the same area. |

Here's
what else you should know.....
Two's

same sex (referred to as a "share"). However,
all Club Med villages offer single rooms based on
space availability, usually at an additional cost
of 10 to 40% more. (please request a single room
at time of booking). Room assignments are arranged
at time of arrival at the village. Children under
6 will be automatically lodged in the same room
with their parents; older children will be given
the option of a rollaway bed (at most family villages)
or share a room with another child.
