My wife and I with our two sons, ages 5 and 12, were at Club Med Sandpiper Bay in FL for 2 weeks Nov 4-19, 2011. We take 2 vacations per year and have been to most family resorts including Club Med, Beaches, Iberostar, Sol Melia, Breezes, Riu - so we are well travelled. Other Club Meds We have been...

Pools and restaurants are excellent. Great choice and quality of food. Why does a french company have such terrible Bulgarian wine??? The bar is lacking in atmosphere. Golf lessons with Bruce and toning classes with Audrey were fantastic. While the rooms have been "renovated", nothing can disguise the concrete 60's origins, GRIM. New doors and tvs do little for this...

I recently spent 4 nights at Club Med Sandpiper Bay with 8 adult family members - it was a bit of a family reunion. We wanted a land based all-inclusive vacation in the US and it turns out there aren't many options, so we tried Club Med Sandpiper Bay. The resort has a lot of things in the plus column:...

We just returned from a long weekend at Club Med Sandpiper. As Florida residents, we weren't expected to be "wowed" in the same way visitors from the North are. We were happily mistaken. I felt like a kid again out there on the tennis courts. The drills and coaching brought me the same joy it used to. I haven't been...

kids everywhere.
parents bring kids into the adult pool and hot tub and think nothing of it. Security makes them leave the few times they show up but by then they are already done.
they also don't stop teen agers from eating with their parents in the adult only dining area.
mainly only 1 buffet to eat at and that...

We just returned from another fantastic week at Club Med Sandpiper (Christmas to New Years). Since being there Christmas of last year, much has improved at the resort (although it we had an incredible week last year too). The landscaping has had a chance to mature and is now lush, the food selection has improved offering more healthy options, they...

The renovations were beautiful. The food is excellent and there was an amazing variety. The all day dining option "Sole" was a nice alternative. The staff was very friendly. Lionel seemed to be everywhere and made everyone feel so welcome. The tennis facility was great and teaching superb. My kids really enjoyed the trapeze. We did not take advantage of...

We stayed during New Years at Club Med. Upon arrival we were a bit disappointed at the rooms. Had very little help with our lugguage and became worried. But once we discovered everything outside the room things changed. The activities por children are fantastic, the staff very helpful, happy and involved. The food amazing. An ideal place for families, especially...

Club Med has gone upscale in recent years. Sandpiper is classy operation, with the usual complement of excellent food, motivated staff, good selection of activities. Club Med really shows that cafeteria food can be excellent! (roast duck, foie gras, Asian, Mexican etc specialties galore). Only problem is there is no scale in the club, so watch your weight! Big attraction...
