Just got back from another stay at Club Med Turkoise, and once again, it was a great trip. I’ve been to Turks several times now, and there are plenty of reasons to come back—the beach, tennis, sailing, activities, entertainment, and just the overall laid-back vibe. But honestly, the people are what really make the place.
There were a lot of GOs and staff who made this trip a good one, so I wanted to give some of them a shout-out.
Iara, Marcello, and the whole reception crew were great. Iara in particular was always friendly and willing to help whenever we needed something. She does a great job and is a real asset to the resort.
I spent plenty of time around tennis again, and Augusto was excellent as always. He’s probably my favorite GO at Turks, and it’s always fun hanging out and playing with him.
The sailing crew was also great. Yorran, Royce, Denzel, and Timothee kept things fun and brought a lot of energy to the activities. Chava was great with aquagym, and Luna does a really good job keeping the sports program organized and running. Hopefully, Club Med Corporate will send the replacement parts for the Hobie Getaway sailboats!
A big thanks to Jesus and Wendy from housekeeping. They took great care of us during the stay. Bernadette, Claude, and Lucita from GE were also always fun to run into, and Haby from Finance was great to see back at Turks.
And then there’s Adrian. I honestly don't know when that guy takes a break. He was doing excursions, working the bar, appearing in shows, playing tennis...he seems to do just about everything. Definitely one of the most entertaining and versatile people at the resort.
The bar crew—Jackson, Jean, Adrian, Zach, Ramazan, Enrique, Tanya, and Julio—were all great. Always friendly and always keeping things moving.
The AV and entertainment teams deserve some credit too. DJ Dre, Riley, and Justin did a great job, and Alexy brought plenty of energy as Animation Manager. He seems like a guy who's going places, so maybe CdV is next for him.
The circus team—Isa, Adam, Hayden, and Maria—were excellent. Blake deserves a special mention for the choreography. Also good to see Haby back, and thanks to Ryan from HR and Manu from yoga as well.
The restaurant crew works incredibly hard. Hector, Jhon, Jorge, and the rest of the team were always friendly and welcoming, even when they were clearly busy. They definitely deserve some recognition.
Thanks also to Patrick, the Health and Safety Manager. A lot of what he does happens behind the scenes, but it's important work and definitely appreciated.
And finally, a shout-out to CdV Acir. You can see that improvements are being made around the resort, and it looks like he's putting a lot of effort into making things better during his first full season.
After coming to Turkoise multiple times, I still enjoy the place for the same reasons: great beach, good sports, plenty going on, and a relaxed atmosphere. But seeing familiar GOs and staff is probably the best part. You get to know people over the years, and then every trip you meet some new people who become part of the experience.
Great trip once again. Already looking forward to coming back in October.
See you guys soon! 🌴☀️🎾
