Horrible GOs
Clique-y and rude GOs!! The resort is big, the beach is nice and San Salvador is a small sleepy little island that is easy to explore, but not much to do. The grounds of the resort are very well manicured and large enough to walk around and get a little exercise. The beach is nice, but the water can be a bit rough. We loved Turkoise and thought all Club Med might have that same welcoming, warm Club Med spirit, however, CM Columbus Isle, is filled with GOs who would rather spend their time chit chatting with each other or scrolling on their cellphones. This was a common theme at every meal we had in the week we spent there. I cannot recall a single GO saying hello or smiling. The CDV, Luca, welcomed us and then we only saw him 1 more time in our week long stay. The GOs seem miserable although the resort by all means was a tropical paradise. The low energy and misery was palpable. The bartenders weren’t much better. Our second day there, we went to La Niña bar, which is right on the beach, and ask the bartender, a sour face female with short hair, for a drink menu, to which she said they do not have drink menus. We asked again and she passed us a QR code for the purchasable wine list. When we til her this. She just shrugged and provided nothing else. How is it possible that at a resort that allows families with children they do not have a non-alcoholic drink menu and/or an alcoholic cocktail menu? Had this been our first Club Med, we would never go back because the atmosphere created by the GOs was so unwelcoming and anything but relaxing. The local wait staff were great and the grill master was great. On our last day there, the island lost power at around noon and so did the resort. Apparently their generator went down right after the power went out in the island. The 2 stars are for the fact that they were still able to feed all the hungry guests a decent meal even without the electricity, but there was no running water until the next day when we were leaving. This is not held against the resort, but the rude, cliquey, unwelcoming, low energy GOs is. In truth if it weren’t for the beautiful grounds and beach, the CM would be 1s star. It’s hard to think that Turkoise and this CM are from the same brand . Our original plan had been to visit all Club Meds in the upcoming year, but Columbus Isle has left a bad taste. The GOs all need some training as to what it means to be a CM GO.

Written by: 470suzyw - - November 28, 2024What a wonderful week!
We enjoyed a wonderful week at Club Med Columbus Isle. The weather, at the end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, wasn't perfect, but was good. The water was a beautiful turquoise blue as in the photographs you see and the sand was perfect! Much better than the texture of the sand on Negril, Jamaica's renowned Seven Mile Beach. The people at Columbus Isle were the real factor in our enjoyment of the week, none of whom exceeded our bartender at La Pinta, Jimena, in their kindness and interest in our happiness. Other bartenders Omar and Shirley were also pivotal in their contribution to our enjoyment of our time there. If you get the chance to go on an excursion, which I generally try to avoid based on past cruise ship experiences, please take a private tour of the Island with Jerry Ferguson. He will give you such a wonderful insight in to the history and significance of San Salvador, all in the comfort of a full-sized SUV. Hats off to you, Jerry! Just ask Yannick or Samantha in the excursions office to set you up and I'm sure they will be glad to help. She probably doesn't know how much she positively influenced our trip, but Shakan, the young lady who helped us with beach towels every day was outstanding in her level of customer service, and was a a wonderful representative of the resort. Our housekeeper for most of the week, Gena, kept our room more spotless than we are accustomed to, and made a big positive influence on our enjoyment of our time at Columbus Isle. Sara at the reception desk and Zara, who coordinates transfers to/from the airport, also had also had significant positive impact on our visit. Even before our arrival at Columbus Isle, Anna had contacted us to offer her services as a resource for anything we needed during our visit. She provided an excellent orientation on our first day on the island of San Salvador. It was only on our last night on the Island that we saw the "Greatest Show" performance and saw the amazing acrobatic abilities that Anna possesses that we were able to fully appreciate her contribution to Club Med. Thank you, Anna, and we hope to see you again.

Do not bring kids and pray the electricity/plumbing stays on
A week at a resort with nothing for kids to eat/play/do was rough. Electricity was out almost 24 hours and plumbing was out for 8 hours due to wind (NO FLUSHING TOILETS or running faucets for handwashing from 2p-10p, no lights in rooms or ac overnight). Food options got boring quick and French is the first language at the resort. Because of the European clientele/atmosphere there was a lot of cigarette smoke in all areas at all times- not used to that in California at all. FYI, There was no coffee creamer which was something I wish I knew beforehand bc I would’ve brought my own.

A wonderful vacation in an enchanting setting. The beach and sea are magnificent! A great mix of calm and dynamism by day, and partying by night: something for everyone.

Attentive staff and impressive management from Luca, chief of village, a versatile and polyvalent character! Thanks for everything! Now I have to choose my next destination ;)
