Recommend Great nurse shark excursion
Over water manta suites are amazing with great snorkelling- rays, black tip reef sharks, fish - we weren’t able to borrow adult snorkel so I recommend bringing your own - and swim shoes if planning to snorkel on your own Our kids loved the teens club- after huge resistance to join the first two days- after which they were upset to leave - thx and hats off to the teens leaders (hugely difficult age group) Hubby and I got to try sailing/water sports which ended up being way more fun than expected- we didn’t join all the yoga and aerobics but was great watching everyone else sweat . Lastly- huge recommendation to do the nurse shark excursion recommended by noonan - we did it with a private boat (expensive but worthwhile if possible) so got to do fish factory - rubbing shoulders in the water with manta rays - and close up to two spinner dolphin pods -in the same boat ride - but close up nurse sharks was amazing .

Dream Location, Dream Hotel, Dream Holiday
We can highly recommend Club Med Kani, especially with kids. The resort‘s beaches are beautiful - fine, white sand, but best of all are: the Mini Club (at the moment ages 4-10 + teenagers); the super friendly and energetic staff; and the excellent food. The kids program at Mini Club is v extensive, eg including trapeze for 4 years olds, sailing, archery, shows every night etc. Special thanks to Fatima, Emma, Chicken (best dancer ever), Valentino, Sharif for making our stay so special. We „only“ ate in the main restaurant. The food is super diverse and excellent quality, especially the lunches and dinners. The restaurant staff are also super friendly and totally spoilt our kids, esp. our 2-year old daughter, showering her with presents at meals! Special thanks to Enes, and at the bar: Marika and Kawser. There are plenty of great free activities such as snorkelling trips, sailing, padel, kayaking etc). In addition to this, there are some paid for excursions. We did the jetskiing + snorkelling 2 hour tour. It was well worth every cent. We saw a lot of dolphins, a couple of turtles and eagle/manta rays, went to the blue lagoon and a sandbank. A truly unforgettable experience. Tips for improvement: when we arrived at the airport we had to wait for about two hours for a boat to take us to Kani (waiting for another plane to arrive) - after such a long journey (from Berlin), it would be great to have more regular boats for pick-up; the reception area and the rooms could do with a renovation. We felt super happy and at home during our stay. After 10 days we were v sad to leave. A wonderful trip. Club Med once again did not disappoint.

The best resort ever
Our stay at club Med Kani was absolutely perfect. I’m sorry in advance for the length of this review. This is the most memorable trip we’ve ever had with our children, and we have the staff at the resort to thank for our great stay. This was our first stay at a club med but we have become fans and look forward to going to other club meds in the future. I was incredibly surprised on the day we arrived. We were greeted at the dock in Japanese (I’m Japanese) by a receptionist from Japan called Nat(sumi) who had only recently started working at the resort but she already knew everything!? and was constantly checking with us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable, so that was my first pleasant surprise. This resort has so many wonderful activities including snorkelling, kayaking, pedalling, tennis, panel court, badminton ping pong, and the best kids’ club I have ever seen. There was a show almost every night (dance, aerials, club night) to entertain guests, and the kids club also did an event every night for the children from 8-9pm. There is water aerobics at the main pool everyday, and the energy of the water aerobics instructors Tom and Atanas was beyond this world. I usually got a cocktail when the water aerobics started so that I could enjoy watching them energise everyone in the pool. I did “bootcamp” and “bum and tum” training with Atanas and he is a fabulous instructor who really concentrates on correct form. I wish I could have his training online. Yousri is the very fashionable sports manager who pops up all over the island overseeing activities and who kindly kept asking how my arm was after I bruised it playing a match of beach volleyball. There are only 2 restaurants, but that doesn’t matter because the main restaurant has so many varieties of food, and changes many of the selections every day to keep it new and entertaining. I’m usually not a big fan of buffets but the attention to detail and selection available in this buffet is amazing. I especially loved the small plates of seafood appetisers and salads that I could choose to create my own degustation course. This is all made possible by Yigit, the F&B manager, someone who I reckon never sleeps, and who is also incredibly fashionable wearing a different coloured suit and shoes every day (basically David Beckham), and welcomes all guests in different languages, and is also made possible by the many chefs cooking the various cuisines, as well as Enes the assistant restaurant manager who is constantly watching all guests to check that we have everything we need and will come to extravagantly pour wine for you the moment your glass is empty. Ragab, the resort manager, seems to manage to be in three places at the same time and is constantly checking in with all guests and his colleagues.There is also another individual called Boris, the deputy CDV, who I am convinced is not human (nor is Yigit). Boris is the resort manager who can also be seen at three places at the same time making sure that all guests are happy, and unbelievably also becomes the show host at night with a mic in hand on stage, AND leads all guests in line dancing and teaches various other dances from the stage. His title shouldn’t be CDV. It should be “I do everything.” Boris is not the only one who dances. Many of the staff members who work at the resort become dancers by night to put on shows after shows to entertain the guests, so they practice in between their shifts and during break times so that they can work extra long hours and perform a show after their work for the day has ended, and sometimes join the guest for drinks and chats. The commitment of these staff members is nothing like I’ve even seen before. Now - onto kids’ club - this kids’ club is more like summer camp for kids except for that it goes all year long. The amount of activities they do with the kids is beyond. They even put on a quality show with the kids on stage doing acrobatics (very safe ) for which they rehearsed only once, and put on a show that would usually take schools 6 months to execute. The head of the kids club is called Mr. Chicken who is a very tall friendly man from Senegal, so peaceful and always smiling. His crew members, Valentino, Cheyna, Safa, Sharyf, Fatima, and Celene is a powerhouse of a team, and by far the best kids’ club crew I’ve ever met, so much so that my 10 year old Sophie couldn’t stop crying on the last day. Lastly but not least we had many drinks made by bartender Kaiser at the beach bar. All the bartenders were incredibly friendly when they must be exhausted making cocktails considering it’s an all-inclusive program so all drinks are free. Their calmness was amazing. On the last day of our stay we all went to the jetty to catch the speedboat, and incredibly, so many of the hotel staff including Mr. Chicken, Safa, and Valentino of the kids’ club, and Ragab the resort manager plus Chris from the reception (these are just a few of the names) came to say goodbye. It was the warmest send off by a resort I’ve ever experienced. Their energy and warmth is incredible. Club med Kani is the best resort we’ve ever been to - all made possible by the incredibly hardworking staff members. It was an unforgettable experience hence why I’ve written a novel for a review. Thank you. Regards, Miho, Tony, Sophie, and Amy Walker

Wonderful experience in Kani Paradise
The stay was wonderful thanks to the best team of GO. Always smiling, ready to help and make your stay as pleasant as possible. Many thanks to the restaurant team, especially Enes, Mojbor and Siva for their warm welcome. We were even treated to a special meal for our last dinner. I'd also like to say a big thank you to the sports team, Amadou, Joe, Atanas and Omar, with whom we had such a great time. Everyone was particularly kind and welcoming. We will miss you all!
