Places | Club Med Turkoise

My dad and I were tasked with booking the family vacation this summer, our first in quite a long time! We originally were looking at the gorgeous island of Aruba, but our searches kept leading us to Turks and Caicos. My parents are huge fans of Club Meds, and so we decided on Club Med Turkoise and we eagerly counted down until our departure (a VERY long 6 months). In the end, it was an EXCELLENT choice!


We were drawn to this place because of the wide variety of activities offered, the all inclusive nature, the affordable price, and the ease of group travel. Three couples were traveling from three cities (San Diego, Boston, New York), and the travel agent with Club Med booked flights that all landed within 20 minutes of each other. 

We had the absolute best time! We did tons of activities, we ate and drank to our hearts' content, we relaxed on the beach, swam in the pool, and really enjoyed hanging out with each other. The benefit of a beach resort is that we weren't all locked into the same plan, and we could choose to do different things, eat at different times, etc. We ended up sticking together for most of the trip, but the format of an all inclusive allows for some flexibility with plans.

Activities: Trapeze, Spikeball, Sailing, Floating

Included Activities at the Resort
  • Trapeze! (*hums "She flies through the air*)--this was super fun, albeit terrifying. You climb up ladders and swing through the air. Luckily the staff was super helpful
  • Sailing--after a 30 minute lesson, we were able to take the boat out whenever we wanted!
  • Snorkeling--the Club offered two outings a day, so we went several times. The water is so clear, making for beautiful views.
  • Shows--every night, the staff put on a different show. Some were better than others, but the trapeze show and circus shows were really incredible. 
  • Paddle-board--paddled around the ocean
 

Games We Played

We all left the island a lot tanner, a little heavier, and a lot happier. Great trip!
