Why Club Med will be the first holiday we book after the pandemic

Why Club Med will be the first holiday we book after the pandemic

A holiday at Club Med will be the first holiday we book after the pandemic, when Australia’s borders open and we can travel again. You may not know this but Australia’s international border has been closed since March 202o, and while it is possible to leave, you need to apply for an exemption, it has to be for at least three months and there’s no guarantee of getting back in. SO we are waiting.

This is not a sponsored post, this is an honest reveal of how much I love Club Med and why…and if you’re followed us for a little while you will know that Club Med has a lot of amazing memories for us, and we always have a fabulous time with them.

First, a bit of background.

Emmie and I have stayed at quite a few Club Meds. Before I had Emmie I couldn’t think of anything worse than All Inclusive holidays, but now well I love them. We have stayed at incredible resorts all over Asia – like Club Med Kabira, Club Med Cherating and Club Med Bintan Club Med Tomamu and Club Med Bali – in sunshine and in snow, and it’s always been incredible.

The beautiful Club Med Kabira

We were skiing (me not so well) at Club Med Tomamu in Hoikkaido Japan in March when covid really kicked off and honestly we felt completely safe and I was amazed at just how amazingly they handled the safety of guests, with new procedures, cleaning and health checks. We felt completely secure and protected in our little Club Med bubble, and then when our Prime Minister said to come home to Australia we did, flying back from Japan into two weeks of isolation.

Ahhh safe in our Club Med Tomamu bubble in March 2020

So we have absolute faith in Club Med and I recommend them 100 per cent.

In spite of our love for Club Med, we are still in the midst of a pandemic and unable to travel – but when Club Med has its 30% sales, it’s a great opportunity to book in advance and get ready for an amazing holiday.

Here’s why you should book when Club Med has its 30% off sale. That’s up to 30% off the WHOLE HOLIDAY

The 30% off promotion happens twice a year and we usually book with this deal. It’s so great because:

    1. You get a huge discount of up to 30%
      This is a significant discount given it’s a discount off the entire cost of your holiday. It’s not just up to 30% off your accommodation, it’s up to 30% off your entire holiday – accommodation, activities, food and drinks.
    2. You pay a $200 per person deposit to secure your booking.
      This is such a small amount to secure the booking.
    3. You pay the balance a month or so out from your trip
      I love this because the money stays in my pocket for that time, or if I don’t have the money together I have time to save. I hate when you book somewhere and have to pay straight up and they keep your money for ages.

 

Cancellation and full refund on bookings

I’m completely at ease as Club Med has offered full refunds and cancellation should we not be able to travel due to covid. So we get the discount price, get to keep my money in my pocket til a month before we travel AND if we cant go we get our deposit back. You just have to cancel up to 30 days before departure to receive the deposit back. Easy. 

 

I have complete trust in Club Med

I trust Club Med 100% that they will look after our safety and we will have an incredible time. We just love everything about it and I feel like when can can finally travel this is the kind of holiday many people will be looking for. It will be the best way to dip our toes back into travel and feel safe, well looked after and not have to lift a finger. Complete bliss.

We really hope to see you back out there in Asia sometime soon. Cheers to that!
