“Never disappoints”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

This was our 18th year at Columbus Isle and we plan to go back again and again. This year we were pleased to see that the quality of the food had improved (well done Steph!), quality over quantity seems to work. Jean-Paul's diving team are as lovely as ever, Eric does an incredible job of managing the dive centre while... More

“Fell in love, from the moment I stepped off the plane!”

My husband and I, and some great friends, just returned from Columbus Isle about a week ago. This had been my 1st time there, but everyone else had been at least 2 (my husband) to 5 (our friends) times. I instantly fell in love with this quaint little island. From the warm Club Med welcome as we arrived, to the... More

“Espectacular, una vez más”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

Spectacular. Once again. We returned after one year to Columbus Isle. Paradise was not a mirage. I traveled again with my wife and four children aged 16, 14, 12 and 10 years. First, everyone knows that the beach is one of the most beautiful in the world. Just very hard to beat. Water is transparent intense and captivating. Without doubt,... More

Just came back from Columbus Isle where I spent a week with my 16-year-old son. We both relaxed as much as we wanted and engaged into the activities of our choice (my son snorkeled every day and I chose to sail, paddle-board, snorkel, zumba, stretching, abs & b, power walk & aqua-gym), which we both enjoyed immensely, including the shows...

We had a deluxe room, the closest to the beach. It was fantastic to hear the ocean from our bed... which is not always possible... More

“The Short Version”

Here's the short version. My wife and I have been to lots of all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Within a certain spectrum, they are all basically the same. THIS was a different experience, however, and it was the first all-inclusive resort to which we will most definitely return. The reason has nothing to do with the physical infrastructure of the...
