ClubMed, Turkey
We stayed in an amazing hotel, with 684 rooms divided into bungalows and suites set in beautifully maintained gardens. After a 4-hour flight from the UK, I was greeted by ClubMed staff with refreshments and was escorted to the coach for the 1 hour transfer to the hotel.
ClubMed operates a ‘fully inclusive’ which not only does this include food and drinks but all sports and activities that each particular resort offers. From Water skiing, to paddle boarding, archery, Tennis, Circus skills and sailing are to name a few. All the activities are staffed with trained multi-lingual coaches and lessons are provided to those first timers.
For the adults, there is a spa and 2 Zen pools to relax whilst the kids are in the kid's clubs, which is fully included in the cost and suitable for all ages. And with 5 pools to choose from, there are plenty of areas for the families to relax too.
All the evening entertainment is themed each night, with food and drinks to match, and shows in the Amphitheatre. For those that aren’t too tired by the end of the entertainment, the night club on the beach was open until the early hours. The food, by the way, was out of this world. From the taste to the variety everything was perfect!
For those that are a little put off with the idea of Turkey at present… Whilst in the resort I never felt there was anything going on outside the resort, and the discreet presence of security puts you at ease. In the afternoon, I ventured out into the local town of Kemer and again, I felt the same way.
ClubMed operates many properties globally with plans of much more in the coming years. From Europe to America and The Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Indian Ocean. And, sun properties are not the only thing that ClubMed excel in. They also offer Ski resorts in France, Italy and Switzerland, which are again fully inclusive – and yes that does include ski passes and lessons!!
