I stayed there from May 1st to 8th. It was the best vacation of my life!! It’s my second time to Club Med (the other was Cancun) and Club Med is changing. It’s not what it used to be (less compromising activities…!) but it still the perfect place to have fun, relax and make new friends! It seems that they got to many complaints about some behaviours in the past but I would say don’t go to a single Club Med (like Turkoise and Cancun) if you’re easily offended… Most people are there to party and have fun!! Most of them are in their 30’s and I would say more than half is single. It’s mainly people from Quebec and USA. I went there alone and you make friends really fast! Even on the plane! You cannot stay alone. If that’s what you want, don’t come to Club Med!

Because they are renovating, the prices are really low! Hurry up! I got it for 1400$!! (but I would pay more if I had too!)

I don’t understand how people can complain about this place! Everything was perfect!! The food is excellent! You’ll always find something to eat. The beach is amazing with the white sand and the really turquoise water. If you want to do nothing and relax, nobody will bother you (like the G.O.) but if you want to move, there are so many sports and activities you can do! You decide the kind of vacation you want!

You have to try the trapeze. Scary but it’s worth it! Snorkelling is amazing too and the sailing also. You have to go to the sunset cruise on Tuesday to make new friends and have fun! The disco (right after the shows) is also the perfect place specially if you’re single! Music is good. Some guys might complain about the G.O. but a lot of you guys just stay at the bar, not doing anything…!! I’ve got the chance to spend the week with a nice G.O. which made my vacation even better and unforgettable! Like I said, YOU decide!

The shows are funny and good, specially the Circus one. It’s like Le Cirque du Soleil! Wow. Must see (was Saturday). Also, don’t miss the sunsets. It’s amazing!! Different every night!

The only complain I could say is that there are not enough sun umbrella. They should add more because it gets really hot in the afternoon. Don’t forget to bring some “OFF”, there are mosquitos at night.

Have a great vacation if you’re going! Perfect place to have fun and relax. You won’t regret it. (FYI, I heard that Cancun was better for party and fun… ) I didn’t want to leave and going back to reality was so hard! I’ll return for sure!! Enjoy!!

First and most importantly in my book, cocktails made with champagne are included in the all-inclusive! This is great news and means you can order mimosas and flirtinis to your heart's content! Main bar only, though, Sharkie's, the beach bar, doesn't stock sparkling wines.
Secondly, the current chef de village Eyal is in Turks until spring of 2006. He is responsive and ever-present, and it was our experience that he consistently followed through on his promises.
Thirdly, they do put the sails up on the booze cruise and if you are not too busy guzzling the rum punch and playing drinking games to notice the view, you will find that it is a very pretty cruise - or so, I'm told. I was too busy guzzling and playing to notice. We felt it was worth the money - good party, hilariously awful rum punch, great way to meet fellow GMs and GOs who take this excursion on their days off especially if you invite them to play drinking games with you. Can get raunchy.
Next, if you are going to go skinny-sipping in the dark, we suggest you go between the scuba dock and the old dock, NOT between the old dock and Sharkie's. If you choose to skinny dip while inebriated, you may not notice the trillion watt spotlight shining on the water on the Sharkie's side. Fore warned is fore armed. Learn from the mistakes of others.
Know this - circus is not just for the young and flexible! Middle-aged, creaky people can do it too and it is beyond exhilariting to fly on that trapeze - try it! The step across from the ladder to the platform is truly not as wide as it looks from the ground, truly, I wouldn't lie to you, it is not. It is, however, completely terrifying to step off the platform and swing, but so worth it. Believe me, try it and you'll be thanking me that you did.
And lastly, be creative - need more zing from your fruity cocktail? Ask for it with a floater - for example, as for a "Last Mango in Paradise with a tequila floater" or a "Jungle Trap Fever with a rum floater" - tasty and effective! And you can be creative with your food too - how about taking that breakfast crepe, adding some chocolate sauce, spooning in some peanut butter, and slicing in a banana, wrap it all up and voila!
As far as rooms and quality of food go, you can read all kinds of opinions in other reviews, but I believe that that stuff is entirely subjective anyway. Happy, fun easy-going people who see the glass half full will have a fabulous time where ever they go and take the best of what they find. Cranky, hard to please people will be disappointed where ever they go. As for the GOs, in any group of 130 people or more, there are going to be really cool people and big jerks, use your innate people sense to find the ones you like and ignore the others.
Have fun! We did! Say hi to Christian in tennis from his friends in Nova Scotia!

I have to say I read alot of reviews before I went. Some were very helpful some were misleading. My husband and I went to Club Med Turkoise with 4 other couples. Our room was supposed to be unrenovated but I would not have known the difference. We had a king bed and the bathroom was beautiful. The room was always cleaned well and other than some very tiny ants occasionally in the bathroom we had no bugs. The food was very good but I was not expecting gourmet. You had several choices at every meal and even the pickiest eaters in our group found something they liked. We did the snorkeling and catamaran lessons/excursions with the resort. The GO's were helpful and easy going. The Sport GO guru (Brett) was very nice and we met his mom who was visiting. The Circus group was also very friendly and put on good shows. Overall the shows were fair. On Tuesday, one of the GO's (Daniel) put on a show. He is a fairly talented musician/singer and I enjoyed his show the most. My husband and I paid for 2 extra excursions. One was a visit to Middle Caicos. We enjoyed this thoroughly. We explored a cave, snorkelled near a wrecked freighter, and visited 2 beaches that were very different than the beach at Grace Bay. I suggest you do not do this trip if you are looking for a slick tour. Remember you are going through a cave with bats and there are alot of mosquitos here. Our other excursion was the kayak eco-tour. This was a very nice tour thru Big Blue Unlimited. We kayaked to iguana isle and thru mangroves(where we saw baby nurse sharks, several fish and a 4 foot wide ray).

The GO's were always friendly and I did not have any problems with anyone. Some of the local employees were not overly friendly, others were friendly if you treated them with respect. I would highly recommend staying here if you come to Provo. Granted we went in a large group and that had its benefits. I would still have enjoyed myself even if it were just my husband and I. You can have a quiet vacation or be as rowdy as you want here.

I was at club med the last week in April 2005. This is my 2nd time to Turks, I was there the same time last year. The food and drinks is pretty good for having to feed 600 people--they say 450 guests and upto 130 GO's (I will talk about THEM later). The buffet style food will get a little boring after a while, but it actually has been the best selection and quality that I have seen at an all inclusive. The bar always pours good drinks, if you want stronger of weaker drinks you just ask, the GO's that work behind the bar don't care how much they serve....all that talk about watered down drinks is garbage.
The resort is starting to show its age, they are constantly renovating the place but it is mostly little touch ups here and there and sometimes it actually looks worse (I guess the hurricane did a bit of damage a little while ago and instead of fixing the roof they threw some shingles here and there, looks like garbage for now)
The ocean and sand is as you see in the pictures...amazing..enough said there.
I stayed in a renovated room, no big deal from the unrenovated. The renovated had a door in the shower room and that pretty much is it, the downsize is the bed they put in there are so small, it was like sleeping in a kids bed, the unrenovated rooms have bigger beds and only curtains for the showers, I would have stayed in either.

The only downfall to the resort was the attitude from the GO's and some of the guests. Last year everyone was happy go lucky, this year yikes! The GO's are only out to score...in the daytime when they are supposed be working they are all freindly, but at night look out, I was the competition and there was no questions about that. I have never seen such presistance to score with new gals on the block, I actually had on GO come up to a girl I was talking to and threaten her with a 24hr timelimit to sleep with him because he "felt this amazing connection with her", and I think the 7th time she said no, he tried someone new. Its bad to say but most of the GO's really are scum and you just got to let them know off the bat who the guest is and who works there for the guest. Some of the guests were pretty conceited, but that is normal everywhere.
Great place but if you leave the resort things get really expensive, seadoos are $140 hr, outragous since Cancun was only $50 hr during the high season.
