turkoise Turks and Caicos

his was about our 15th stay at a Club Med, and we have stayed at 7 different ones over the years. The setting is fabulous and the beach is spectacular. Drinks flow freely and even though the place was at about capacity we rarely had to wait to get served. The food was very Club Medish which is plentiful and good but not great. Because of its smaller size it has fewer activities but there was plenty to do and we were never board. The gym is small but has decent equipment.  They take guest out on snorkeling excursions twice a day and people we were with went once and said it was too hard to sign up so we never bothered. I would liked to have gone but.... 
The place is about 40 years old and some parts showed signs of wear. For example, our bathroom, while mostly clean, had the odder of a 40-year-old bathroom - not great. More and more people seem to be going for pickle ball and while they have converted a basketball court into several PB courts, they are situated in an East/West pattern. Courts should be NS to avoid a sun in your eyes issue.  
Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful but we had some issues with the GOs. We speak only English and every time we go we get treated like second class citizens compared to the French speaking guests. For example, my wife and I were going to go kayaking and she got there a few minutes before me at @11:20. A water sports GO was helping her onto a kayak when I arrived at @11:25. She set off and the GO came back to the place to sign up just before the 11:30 cut off. He said, in a not too friendly voice, that they were closed until after lunch. As I sat there watching my wife paddle out to sea a French speaking couple came up and asked to go out in a sailboat, (or so I inferred from their conversation.) The GO first said no but then relented and sent them out in a boat as I sat there fuming. When I asked why he let them go and not me he answered in French.  This is by no means the first time this has happened and many of the GOs are simply rude to English speakers relative to their French speaking counterparts. 
Still, we had a great time and will return in the future. 

We’re just finishing up a week at this beautiful locale in Turks and Caicos. The beach is outstanding. Clean, seaweed-free. Although chairs and shade are reserved early, we always managed to find something even when we headed to the beach closer to noon. Pickleball was wonderful. To those not bringing their own paddles: sometimes they ran out so a few people couldn’t play at that time. I suggest you bring your own if you can. Luna and Augusto, the two racquet sports GOs were welcoming and fun. Luna, in particular, made beginner pickleball lessons, in which my husband participated, enjoyable for all. I joined the late afternoon tournaments, also coordinated by Luna, and had a blast. Our room isn’t fancy, but it has everything we need, and the cleaning staff worked around our coming and going. We snorkelled two afternoons on nearby reefs, arriving about an hour early to ensure our spots in line —only 30 spots available. A nurse shark and a hammerhead shark were spotted on those trips. As for the food, Turkoise’s chefs create delightful surprises at every meal, with vegetarian and gluten free options as well as a variety of meat and seafood. We found seating outside on the verandah every meal, but at popular times spots were hard to come by. Live music every lunch, late afternoon and evening around the village. We spent many years with Club Med before Covid. So very happy to have found our way back.

We went for a couples message and it was one of the best ever. The scenery, the sounds, the smell of the oils… but best of all was the pressure from the ladies giving us the message. It was amazing

We’ve just returned from yet another wonderful stay at Club Med Turkoise. While the rooms are admittedly simple and could use updating, the true luxury lies in the exceptional people and endless activities.

The activities were outstanding, as always. We especially enjoyed tennis, aquagym, and sailing. A special thank you to Joel, Augusto and Luna for the fun tennis clinics and tournaments, and to Elise and Sports Manager Kyle for their high-energy aquagym classes that made our mornings both invigorating and joyful.

Kyle deserves truly special recognition. Juggling his roles as Chief of Sports, interim Chef de Village, and performer in the nightly shows, his passion, dedication, and positivity were felt throughout the entire resort. We’d also like to recognize CdV Nicolas for his attentiveness to guests, and his proactive approach to resolving any concerns.

Rafa and the incredible sailing team — Etienne, Salu, Sébastien, Graydon, Elise and Tamara — ensured that every sailing experience was safe, well-organized, and thoroughly enjoyable. Whether you’re experienced or brand new, they make it an activity not to be missed.

The circus team — Tom, Gerardo, Morgan, Isa, Bella, and Etienne — truly wowed us with their breathtaking performances and exciting trapeze lessons. If you’re visiting Turkoise, trying the trapeze is an absolute must — an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

The nightly shows were another highlight, brought to life through the creativity and passion of Blake, whose choreography infused each performance with energy, elegance, and flair. And, he can really dance! His numbers with Kyle were great fun!

The bar team also deserves huge praise. Thank you to Adrian, Jackson, Jean, Joshua and the rest of the team (I can't remember all their names) for their excellent service.

On the culinary side, we’re especially grateful to Chef Hector for preparing special meals at our table — such a thoughtful and personal touch. Arnold, Brenda, Trova and Missael also deserve recognition for expertly managing the restaurant and ensuring every guest was well taken care of. Sous Chef Jhon also deserves a shoutout for his culinary skills, helpfulness and overall kind demeanor.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful GEs — including Lucita, Claude, Nemie, Christopher, and Franckner — whose warmth and kindness made us feel genuinely at home. We also deeply appreciate the exceptional reception team — Alicia, Luciana, Celina, Adrian (transportation coordinator, now at the excursions desk)— who ensured a smooth and stress-free experience from arrival to departure. And of course, our sincere thanks go to all the hardworking restaurant and housekeeping teams who keep everything running beautifully behind the scenes. It was a pleasant surprise to have housekeeping manager Wendy back at Turks.

If we’ve unintentionally missed anyone, please know it only reflects the incredible number of outstanding individuals who contribute to the magic of this place.

Club Med Turkoise is far more than a resort — it’s a joyful, welcoming community filled with people who truly care. We already can’t wait to return!
