Amazing Waterskiing Experience in the Bahamas
I had an unforgettable time waterskiing during my trip to the Bahamas in June. I want to give a special shout-out to Leandro, Coco, PO, Loïc, and Laurent – the waterski team who made the whole experience incredible. They were super professional, friendly, and full of energy. It was my first time trying waterskiing, and they were so patient and encouraging. Thanks to their guidance and support, I felt safe and had so much fun learning. They turned a simple activity into a highlight of my vacation. If you're heading to this resort and thinking of trying waterskiing, don’t miss the chance to meet this amazing crew – they truly make it worth it!

Written by: Simon L - - July 28, 2025If you think you are booking this trip thinking there is any sort of flexibility that is available at other resorts, BE
We vacationed to Club Med Cancun in 2023 and Punta Cana in 2024. We had amazing vacations for each trip, and as a result, had a trip for Columbus Isle scheduled for June 2025. As we have elderly grandparents with health issues, for each trip, we paid the additional fees to have the flexible booking, to be able to reschedule should we need to remain close for their assistance. For our trips to Cancun and Punta Cana, we booked our airfare directly with Southwest Airlines as we were able to reschedule airfare if it became necessary as well. For Columbus Isle, we booked our airfare from our home airport to Miami thru Southwest Airlines. As there is no way to get to Columbus Isle other than thru the package booked thru Club Med, we were unaware that the full package rate was not non-refundable and that we would lose airfare if we rescheduled. Unfortunately, we needed to reschedule the trip this June due to family health issues, and found out “the hard way” that the transportation from Miami to Columbus Isle was non-refundable. As a result, we have not rescheduled the trip (to reschedule at the time we canceled, there was still a 800$ reschedule fee, and we didn’t have an exact day that we would be able to reschedule to, and would potentially have needed to switch to a resort that had transportation more than one day a week should we need to fly home for grandparent health reasons). While it was not Club Med’s fault that we mis-calculated that the single flight home day would be an issue, or that this year would be the year we would need to reschedule for grandparent health, the fact that the REQUIRED transportation from Miami to Columbus Isle was not refundable like the rest of the package is misleading and feels deceitful. When we looked at the website for booking for the originally planned dates June 21-June 28, 2025- the connecting rooms we had booked were clearly rebooked and unavailable more than a month prior to the proposed trip, it was apparent that neither Club Med nor Bahamas Air has had any financial loss in our cancellation. I spoke with three different customer service agents that said there was no refund or even a way to transfer credits to another trip to be booked this year. I sent an email to Club Med in May and am still awaiting any sort of reply. That being said, I did wanted to express our displeasure and to let you know that we had been very happy GMs at the resorts, planning to return twice this year (family and girls’ trip), with an added two trips expected next year (Cefalu for a family trip and Turkoise for a graduation gift). However, with the displeasure of the entire process of trying to reschedule/cancel and the loss of 2000$ in airfare, we will be booking with another resort company.

We had a great 3rd time at this resort. The ba=each and property is absolutely gorgeous! The waterskiing was a true highlight of ur family trip! My husband became scuba certified in their top notch program. We had 4 rooms and each had a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. For a small isolated island, the kitchen makes the most delicious meals and food is always available! Highly recommend.
