Amazing stay in Columbus
Amazing stay in Columbus.
Unreal location and shades of blue 🩵 paradise can now be named.
A particular thank you to the amazing staff and GO team who made everything even more perfect beyond the idyllic location.
And a very special thanks to Coco for amazing stretch mornings, glutes & abs, pilates and others you made us suffer for - definitely worth it. Thank you for the all time energy and support.
Long live Columbus Island 💕

It is the third time I went to Columbus only in 2024! . This time I went with my brother and the vacation was amazing .
The club is located on a pristine secluded beach with a turquoise ocean ideal to disconnect and relax.
The GO and chief of village Luca Valmori exceptional !
A special recognition to COCO, the beautiful and talented gym instructor and to Jean Paul director and Roberto instructor at the scuba school .
Going back made me feel like I was in a family, and that’s wonderful.

Amazing beach, small resort, friendly G.O. and G.M.
Club Med Columbus Isle is our favourite resort. Our stay Nov 12-19, 2024 was our stay #7.
We like the fact that it is not far from Montreal; Only 3.5 hour direct flight from Montreal on Air Canada Rouge chartered plane. The resort is 1 km away from a small airport on San Salvador Island. Lots of « regulars » walk from airport to the resort, and only have their luggage transported to the resort by Club Med buses.
We enjoyed our stay, even though we found that the food selection has decreased considerably over the years.(since 2008). No more amazing Brie and other cheeses from France.
Weather was very windy most days, and it affected resort’s food supply for couple of days. Thank you to Kitchen chef, who did all their best, to manage the unprecedented situation.
We attempted going on an island bike tour, but I found the available e-bikes too heavy, so I could not go, even though I am an active cyclist in Ottawa.
Overall, we still enjoyed our stay, meeting friendly new and « returning » guests, like ourselves.
Thank you!

A wonderful place to dive and enjoy the sun
I have just come back home from a diving trip to the Bahamas resort of CM - Columbus isle. Even after quite a few visits, this is still one of favourite resorts - visually stunning with the perfect beach and the white painted deckchairs and with a scuba pier that makes you wander whether you have accidentally walked onto a painting.
The GOs are very helpful and very friendly and although I was very happy to see some of the GOs I knew already from previous visits I have to praise the whole team - including the new recruits - for treating the guests like family. Special mention for the brilliant scuba team headed by JP, the fitness GOs Coco and Isaac for the many challenging classes I have attended during my stay, the amazing Charlotte for running the bar with skill and panache, Royce for the effort he put in to make sure all rooms were spotless, and of course the CdV Luca for his great hospitality and endless sense of humour.
My last evening at the resort ended with the customary get-together involving myself, Coco (fitness GO), Charlotte (bar manager) and even John (scuba instructor from the 2018 team who joined us virtually from afar) wearing black tie at a chilly beach bar and discussing stories I couldn’t possibly write on paper - with an espresso martini which did not have any coffee in it and some random customer from Paris who was complaining that the beach was too sandy. Or the ocean too watery. Certain things you just could not manufacture even if you tried. Thank you for a great week, guys!
