We decided to go at the last minute and loved it. This is our third time at this club med. Primary activity was afternoon naps preceded by morning scuba dives. If you are bringing your own equipment, check out the http://www.seafari-int.com/ site to get the prices. The price on the Club Med website includes all your gear but if you... More

Just returned from a week in Columbus Ialand. Great GO team, specially Jean Paul and the dive team. Very pleasant rooms for Club Med standard. Highly recommended. More

You feel like you have the mile-long, turquoise beach to yourself. It only feels crowded where it should feel crowded: at the relaxed beach shack bar, and at the indoor bar, where there's plenty of live music and dancing. The accommodations exceeded expectations. Ours had ocean view, terrace w wicker furniture, carved antiques(which, incidentally, are all over the resort), plenty... More

The coloured cottages containing 4 rooms each, disseminated in the property and linked to the main building by a shaded boardwalk are a very nice style. It was easy to find lounge chairs and an umbrella on the long white beach at any time even if the club was almost full. Food was varied and excellent. GOs were friendly but... More

Just back from two weeks at this classy resort. Rooms are big and clean with sea view. Only negative are the old beds with springs sticking out. They placed a mattress cover to minimize the discomfort. Beach is clean with constant waves. Water a bit cool but warms up in the bay away from the resort. Also fewer waves there... More

If you're a scuba diver, this is the place to dive! No matter what your certification level is or even if you're not certified you will be well taken care of here. The dive staff and the boat operators are professional and friendly, the dives are easy and safe. Getting in and out of the boat is a piece of... More

Columbus Isle is paradise but the GOs make the vacation perfect! GOs to get to know include (1) Jennifer: Fitness instructor who makes you feel welcome and look forward to exercising. You'll want to do some (or all) of her classes to work off all the while chocolate bread you'll eat! Be sure to do the evening stretch class on... More

Club Med, Columbus Isle, has some pluses and some serious minuses. The beach is gorgeous, the diving above average, the kitchen excellent. The rooms are dated and tired, but comfortable despite marginal air conditioning. The mood of the place is ideal for 20-40 year olds, with a real effort to make every night New Year's Eve. Not so delightful a... More

We have friends who have come here twice a year for 15 years. What does that tell you? The scuba diving is excellent. Very professional staff and fantastic dive sites with no competition for the moorings. Saw hammerheads frequently. Long beach for walking and beautiful turquoise water. The staff was great and the food was fine. The rooms are nothing... More
