A while ago, I went to Sanya.
Because I have been too busy recently, I need a good break, and Sanya in China is the best place to lie down.
This time in Sanya, I chose Club Med Resort .
Because this is the only hotel in Sanya where you can leave your baby in care as soon as you arrive at the hotel. Then you play with yours, and you play with yours.
As soon as I checked in, before I returned to my room, I sent my little fat paper to the Little Club and threw it away. Then, let’s meet again at the fateful hotel.
Although other hotels in Sanya occasionally have custody services, they are either only available during the summer, or the custody time is not long enough, or the custody is not professional enough, and most children under 4 years old are not allowed to have custody.
To be honest, I didn’t like Club Med before. One of the biggest reasons was that it was not cost-effective .
This is actually a common problem in domestic parent-child hotels. As long as the hotel is close to parent-child hotels, the prices start to become exaggerated. There is no way, parents are most willing to spend money on their children.
This year the problem of low cost performance no longer exists. Probably because of the epidemic, Club Med has been priced at floor-to-ceiling prices recently.
688 per person, all-inclusive food, drinks, entertainment and accommodation. Children under 4 years old are free, 40% off for 4-11 years old, and 20% off for 12-17 years old. Pick up and drop off at the airport.
Does it smell good? Does it smell good? Does it smell good?
Today’s article will talk about this Club Med. It will also be a guide for you to stay in all Club Med .
This is the habit of Mr. Xiyou. If you want to write, just dig deeper. The more comprehensive I write, the more helpful it will be to everyone. At the same time, it will leave others with nowhere to write.
Let’s talk about strategy first
1) Club Med actually has 3 brands
The one that travels around is called Club Med Joyview (hereinafter referred to as JV).
It is a resort where Club Med provides domestic exquisite short-term vacation experience to families in China's first-tier cities. It is concentrated around the core city and can be reached by car in 2-3 hours. It is especially suitable for relaxing with children on weekends.
Anji, Beidaihe and Yanqing are Club Med Joyview.
So, a few days ago when we were live broadcasting in Aranya. Many other public accounts describe Beidaihe JV as Club Med, which is actually wrong.
All Club Meds do not calculate room rates separately. It is based on the concept of a resort and is based on head count.
But JV is not the case. In addition to the all-inclusive price, JV resorts also provide price options of [single room including breakfast]. In other words, JV resorts will have two prices, all-inclusive and single-room breakfast included.
The services included are also different. The picture below shows the difference between the products included in Anji JV single room and all-inclusive.
Moreover, the number of G.O (discussed below) in JV resort will be much smaller.
The mid-range is Club Med resort , most of which are in some holiday destinations, such as Sanya, Guilin, Yabuli, and Beidahu in China.
It provides an all-inclusive vacation experience , including room, child care, three meals a day, unlimited drinks, sports & activities & entertainment, etc...
Except for spa treatment at the resort or participating in out-of-village excursions, you will basically not spend any extra money.
And it’s only one-price all-inclusive, not single rooms.
As for , the luxury category is Club Med's luxury villa resort , which are all single-family villas, such as Fino Island in the Maldives. The luxury series is a more upgraded experience, with private butlers and so on.
Unfortunately, it is not currently available in China.
2) About one-price all-inclusive
When checking in, adults and children will be given bracelets of different colors. With the bracelet, there is no additional charge for food, drink, entertainment and accommodation in the resort, including drinks ordered at the bar and care for children aged 4-17 years old.
Of course, children cannot order wine. There will be a kids drink menu, which are all drinks that children can drink.
At present, many hotels, especially those in destinations like Sanya, have begun to offer all-inclusive services. But it will be much different from Club Med’s all-inclusive package.
Most hotels provide you with three meals a day, and they say it’s all-inclusive. Coupled with the current decrease in housing prices, the food and beverage sector is actually the most susceptible to shrinkage.
Club Med's all-inclusive package is relatively reliable. There are generally two restaurants (a buffet restaurant and a specialty restaurant), snacks in the afternoon, and Happy Hour in the evening. Each resort will also have several bars, and basic drinks are also free-flow.
It also includes entertainment in the resort. Club Med in Sanya has various water activities, and Club Med in Guilin includes golf instruction.
I think Club Med’s all-inclusive package is more like a cruise ship concept. Most of the food, drink, entertainment and accommodation are free of charge, and there is also a wide range of free food, drink, entertainment and accommodation options.
3) About the choice of Club Med
Did you see the frame above? Club Med has six product lines, namely sun and beach/alpine skiing/children's club/golf vacation/land sports/water sports.
Sanya has sunny beaches/kids clubs/water sports
Guilin has children's clubs/golf resorts/land sports
Yabuli and Beidahu are mainly ski-themed.
When you choose a Club Med, be sure to go to the official website to see what projects the resort has. Otherwise, if you just go to the room to fall asleep and lie on the beach, Club Med is likely to disappoint you (the room is not very good after all).
The picture below shows some of the activities available at Club Med Guilin. Every home is different, choose the one that suits you.
After all, parents can also play with their babies when they throw them away.
In addition, you must learn to read the trident 🔱.
In fact, Club Med officials don't want to mention this, and it has even begun to slowly become abandoned. However, you can still tell the quality of this Club Med by looking at the pictures of the Trident.
It's the one in the red box in the picture below. The numbers next to the trident are 3, 4, and 5. 3 may be a little inferior in terms of hardware, 4 is average, and 5 is the best. Look at the much-vaunted Kani Island in the Maldives. The Trident ranking is between 4 and 5, which is only slightly better than Sanya and Guilin.
So, don’t be deceived by agents, trust your own eyes.
A sign like the key represents the luxury villa resort of Club Med. This is the best Club Med.
4) About G.O.
G.O is the specialty of Club Med, which is the abbreviation of "GENTIL ORGANISATEUR" in French. Its original meaning is "kind organizer" or "kind host".
This is the characteristic of Club Med.
G.O's main job is to laugh and play with . Oh, I'm sorry, their job should be to accompany you to eat, play, take care of your kids, teach you various entertainment activities, and at night they become performers, having fun with you until the early hours of the morning...
They usually wear clothes of 45 or 88. As for why they are 45 and 88, you can leave a message after the article. I will send a small gift to the first one who answers correctly.
G.O is good at accompanying children. They can at least speak two or more languages, and the ratio of Wai Guo Keren is relatively high .
I am not here to worship foreigners. It would really be good for children to be exposed to more bilingual environments.
In addition, the number of G.Os of each brand is different, JV will be relatively less, and Club Med will have the most. For example, there are more than 100 G.O.s in Sanya, 60%+ of which are Waiguoren.
By the way, if you live in Club Med abroad, I suggest you find a rare G.O from Mainland China or a G.O from Taiwan, China. This makes it easier to get help.
5) About the quick membership system
Just go to Fliggy Macth. F2 can match the gold card, and F3 can match the platinum card. Platinum is also the highest level in the Club Med membership system.
I made a special match before I went to stay, and then the room was upgraded and there was also an airport transfer subsidy.
If you plan to stay at Club Med, please remember to synchronize your Match membership. Although F3 is difficult, F2 has room upgrades, which is great.
Okay, let’s start talking about Club Med in Sanya
At first, I went to live in Club Med with the mentality of "No one will bother me, let me have food, shelter and stay for a few days", and then I threw the baby away.
There are many good hotels in Sanya, but in terms of physical facilities, Club Med cannot be ranked high. But its benefits are clear enough, that is, it can take care of children.
This hotel is located in Sanya Bay, not far from the airport and can be reached by taxi in 15 minutes.
The advantage of Sanya Bay is that you can go to the sea for water sports. The disadvantage is that the beach and sea water are not as good as Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay.
To be honest, the room is average, which is also a common problem in almost all Club Med. The hardware facilities in the room are slightly worse. Moreover, Club Med in Sanya is also an old hotel.
The overall greening of the hotel is very good.
There are two restaurants, buffet restaurant and specialty restaurant .
You can go to the buffet restaurant without making a reservation with your wristband. All three meals a day are buffet, which is pretty good. The specialty restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, which requires reservation in advance, but it is also free.
I'm relatively lazy, and I can eat pretty well just in the cafeteria.
Nowadays, there are many hotel packages, which are room + meal. When the overall budget is reduced, it is easiest to save money on meals. Recently, the backend has also received some complaints about unreliable room + meal products, such as the Huzhou Sheraton.
There’s nothing wrong with Club Med’s buffet. If an all-inclusive resort cuts back on food and beverages, the guests may jump.
There are also two bars, the lobby bar and the Luhuitou Bar on the seaside, both of which offer all-you-can-drink drinks (except for those particularly expensive drinks).
You can go there and have a drink anytime and anywhere.
One night I passed by the Luhuitou Bar and saw two Northeastern buddies having a beer fight. I thought it might be because drinking beer in this resort is completely free.
In addition to three meals a day, there will also be some afternoon tea, snacks, etc., which may appear in various places in the village.
Although more and more hotels have begun to introduce the concept of "all-inclusive", it is actually different from Club Med's all-inclusive.
Most other hotels' all-inclusive packages only include 3 meals, and one of them may even be a set meal or a simple meal. Not so with Club Med. Three meals a day, drinks, snacks, etc. are all included.
Of course, this is just the food included in the all-inclusive package. Next, there’s play.
Club Med has three parent-child camps . One is a small club, which caters for children aged 2-4. This requires an additional fee, about 450 per day. My understanding is that it is not easy to take care of children of this age, and often a G.O can only take care of two children aged 2-4 at most.
However, although hosting costs 450 a day, if you think about it, children under 4 years old do not need to pay extra to live in Club Med.
The other one is the children's club, which is responsible for taking care of children aged 4-10 years old. This is completely free.
There will be different care courses according to age, 4-5 years old, 6-7 years old, 8-10 years old. The daily schedule of activities is quite full, and they are all different.
Isn’t the occupancy rate low now? When I was walking around the park, I often saw a G.O with only one baby.
There is also a youth club, where children aged 11-17 go.
This is actually quite good, as people of the same age can play together more easily.
There are a lot of activities in the park, so children and adults will not get bored.
There is rock climbing
There is archery
There is a dedicated sports ground and the equipment is quite complete.
There is also Club Med’s exclusive amusement ride, the trapeze, which is always exciting, especially the moment you fall off.
Club Med has a bunch of water activities, such as kayaking, surfboards, and sailing. This is actually the advantage of bays such as Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay. The wind and waves are relatively small, so you can go to the sea and have fun.
There was even a free diving experience, which shocked me. We stayed at 688 for one night, with all food and drinks included, and we even had diving lessons.
There is also an area that is only for adults, and children cannot go there. It is called the quiet pool, which is a separate adult pool. I see that a lot of adults who have left their babies in care go there, and you will definitely not encounter your baby here.
With the current occupancy rate, everything can be booked in seconds. The hotels in Sanya are really miserable.
In addition to dining and entertainment options, Club Med also has many free activities and performances. There are swimming pool parties during the day (you have to make time for this, it doesn’t happen every day).
There is a show performed by G.O in the evening.
If you don’t want to leave your baby in care, there are also some parent-child activities that the family unit can participate in, such as doing crafts and so on.
At any time and at any time, someone will tell you what activities are coming next. Either the G.O is holding a sign, or there are signs everywhere in the resort, or there is a detailed schedule of activities on their official WeChat account.
Unless you want to miss it, you are unlikely to miss the event.
Let’s sum it up.
To use an analogy, Club Med is actually like a small village, with everything to eat, drink and have fun.
It's all-inclusive. As long as you enter, you can eat whatever you want. You can have five or six meals a day, as long as you're happy and not afraid of getting fat.
It can help you take care of your baby. This hosting is relatively reliable and the baby will have a lot of fun.
In addition, there are many activities in the village during the day and night, and children and adults from various families play together. Those who are gregarious and understand SoShow can have a lot of fun.
As for me, I am happy when my baby is having fun.
Finally, about the price
I bought it during a promotion before, and the original price was 688 per person, all-inclusive. Children under 4 years old are free, 4-11 years old are 40% off, and 12-17 years old are 20% off.
Also provided round trip airport transfers.
If you bring a child under 3 years old, you need to pay for a single room difference. The single room difference varies in each resort. Children over 3 years old can stay in one parent and one child.
Have you found any bugs in the middle? It's the most cost-effective if you take a 3-4 year old baby there, and you don't have to make up for the difference.
This price is no longer available, but 618 is coming soon, so don’t worry about not getting a good price. Xiyoujun is always well-informed when it comes to travel specials. Maybe he will have a live broadcast with the president of Club Med in a few days.
