Cancún Mexico

Club Med Cancun was a pleasant surprise. Our kids are grown so we were somewhat hesitant about staying in a family-oriented resort. Indeed there were plenty of small kids not always behaving their best. However, the resort is large and we stayed in the central 6000 block of rooms (Onice) which was distant from the family hotels on each end of the resort. Also, one of the dining rooms in the Hacienda restaurant is dedicated to adults only. Consequently, we enjoyed encountering many the young GMs knowing that there was plenty of space for all ages.
We greatly enjoyed the sport activities including Pickleball, sailing, and snorkeling. The offshore area dedicated to sailing is smaller than at Turkoise and Columbus. However it is protected from direct winds by a breakwater, so we found the waves smaller and easier to manage. The Pickleball courts are in perfect condition and they provide daily morning instruction at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. Later they hold matches to test your new skills. The snorkelling is excellent. I encountered more species than seen at other resorts, including a spotted eagle ray, rainbow parrot fish, butterfly fish, barracuda, and needle fish. You can reach the reef by just walking from shore which is very quick and convenient. The snorkeling equipment leaves much to be desired, so pack your own equipment from home. The masks leak and they never seem to have the correct size of flippers. I brought my fins from home, but my husband was out of luck twice even though he wears an average size 10 mens. I witnessed two other people being denied fins also.
The food was excellent by our standards: so many satisfying choices. We sampled pretty much every option but never suffered any stomach issues. They make bottled water available throughout the resort so we never felt parched.
They have a high level of security on the beach where non members can walk in. Some vendors approached us but they behaved very politely and took no for an answer.
All in all, Club Med Cancun suited two 50-something adults perfectly even though we did not stay in the exclusive Jade resort. We hope to return and will recommend Club Med Cancun highly even to adults without children.

As we live an hour away, we drove over to Club Med to spend a wonderful Valentine's Weekend.
Wonderful staff with Chef de Village Jose Luis at the helm.
Our room in the Granite building had a balcony and a wonderful view, super clean and plenty of room. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. The humidity was an issue, possible due to the fact that we were only feet from the water... But very nice all the same.
The food was very good everywhere... we didn't have a bad meal and did try all three restaurants. Bravo to the chefs and Mara from the Annex Restaurant was delightful.
As we were only there for 2.5 days, we didn't do all the sports, but we did notice all the new additions to the sports options. The new water park and pickle ball courts are both a huge success and we tried and loved the pickelball. I am sad to see the windsurfing and water skiing discontinued, but Club Med has added along with the waterpark and pickle ball, a bocce ball area behind the archery. Our three stand-out sports GOs from the sports we did do were Lalo from Windsurf, Javier from Paddle (Gracias Javier por su paciencia y instruccion!) y Pablito who always makes everyone feel welcome.
This club is an instant winner with families as it is geared toward making sure kids are safe and parents and grandparents can easily get everyone fed and entertained. We definitely want to come back with extended family.
Daniel from the Bar and The Mayan towel lady were both super sweet as well!
Muchas Gracias, Merci beaucoup to all!

For over 15 years our families have all traveled to Club Med Cancun and stay at the Jade Building. When the children were younger it was for Spring Break, now we're all empty nesters and we still go for our annual winter get-away. The location is perfect, it's at the far end of Cancun, so not in the middle of all of the hustle and very quiet. If you are at Jade you even have a private pool and beach area.

This year, saw many improvements and changes to the overall property including a Water Park with slides and lots of Pickleball courts. We all also thought the food and table wine selection improved from the last few years. Lots of fresh options and never a worry about getting sick from the fresh fruits and veggies.

But honestly what keeps us coming back year over year, is the amazing staff at Jade and the genuine welcome we always receive. Most of the team there have been there for years, Eloy and Jose always greet us with smiles as they get us settled with luggage and into our rooms. Elisio, Ademir, and Erasmus are the best bartenders ever, and the entire pool team is outstanding! Daniel, Jamie, Jesus, and Marco take such good care of everyone at the pool; even on busy days you can count on getting a quick refreshing beverage or a fresh towel. They are even offering Sunrise Yoga with John (he's amazing teacher!) on the lawn twice a week, you can stretch and watch the sun come up over the Gulf of Mexico. It's almost like a private class!

The front desk team led by the extraordinary Resident Manager, Cristel makes check-in/check-out seamless. Brigette, Leonardo (both of them!) Guadalope provide great advice on local and regional adventures and will make onsite reservations for you right there. They are all very understanding and kind, and genuinely want each guest to feel like part of the community. We hold an annual meeting for the Foundation we are all a part of, and the front desk team always goes above and beyond to find a quiet location for us.

The facilities are older, but well kept and extremely clean. The rooms are all brightly colored and the beds/linens well kept. There are also suites available with gorgeous tubs and Gulf views. It's not fancy, but that is part of the charm for us, receiving 5-Star service in a more relaxed atmosphere. Club Med is a great vacation for famlies and adults!

This is our second family trip here. They really upgraded the kids club facilities since our last visit. The water slides are a nice addition and more inside space helps the kids not be in the sun all day.

Shout out to Baldomero (hope I spelled that right) for taking care of us at Taco Arte restaurant.

A great vacation at Club Med, Cancun! Outstanding pickleball program with daily tournaments and classes. Sailing was a blast particularly since they let you sail in windy conditions if you are competent. We had great fitness classes including step, abs and glutes, Pilates and stretching. Fantastic food especially at the Tacos restaurant (thank you Luis). Nothing but great things to say about the resort. Thank you GO team!!
