Trident
Classification System |
|
Each one of the Club Med Villages
has its own personality and attributes. To help you find the destination
that best suits your vacation requirements, Club Med created a classification
system based on comfort and facilities, which divides the villages into 4
categories.
All of the villages have one thing
in common: the locations are always exceptional, the all-inclusive formula
provides a hassle-free vacation and the unique G.O. team spirit of warmth,
kindness and fun are the same wherever you choose to go.
|
|

|
4-Trident Villages
are considered to Club Med's Finest villages, offering luxury of the
highest standard. Accommodations are tastefully appointed.
For your convenience, standard in-room amenities include: television,
telephone, hairdryer, and personal safe. Beach and pool towels are
provided. A huge selection of sports facilities, activities and
lessons for all levels are offered. For an additional cost,
intensive training programs in certain sports may also be available. |
|

|
3-Trident Villages
are traditional and classical Club Med villages. Many of these
villages are located in some of the world's most beautiful settings.
Rooms are comfortably furnished, with standard amenities. Beach
and pool towels are provided. Like the 4-trident villages, an
extensive selection of sports facilities and activities are
offered. Lessons in most sports and, for an additional cost,
intensive training programs are also available. |
|

|
2-Trident Villages
provide all the necessities, yet without going overboard. They're
comfortable, great fun, and easy to afford. Often, your bungalow
or hotel accommodations include a telephone. There's also plenty
of sports equipment for your use, and lessons for beginners are
available. However, you'll want to bring your own beach or pool
towels. |
|

|
Hut Villages go
back to the original club Med concept of taking you back to basic and
away from civilization. These hut villages, built in true
Polynesian style, are set in stunning locations and only open during the
summer season. They are ideal for sports enthusiasts, nature
lovers, relaxation and lively nightlife.
None at this time. |
|
Club Med's "Trident"
rating system is unique to Club Med and should not be compared to any other
classification system. All information is correct at time of creations but
is subject to change without notice.

Dining |
| All villages offer the same traditional
Club Med style buffets at breakfast, lunch and dinner. No matter
which village you stay at, breakfasts include a copious selection of
nutritional energy giving delights. You can choose from tea,
coffee, chocolate, milk, freshly baked breads, croissants, brioches,
cakes, yogurts, cheeses, cereals, jams, eggs, bacon, sausages, fruit
drinks, creams, flans, fresh fruit and dried fruit to name but a few.
Lunch and dinner offer a whole host of
international and local dishes. As the villages go up the scale
from straw hut to 4-Tridents, so the buffets become more varied and
elaborate.
The straw hut villages and the
2-Trident villages offer unlimited wine, beer and fruit drinks with
lunch and dinner. The 3- and 4-Trident villages also offer soft
drinks.
All villages offer the traditional
tables of eight, allowing you to eat with friends and to make new
ones. Tables of 2, 4 and 6 people are also sometimes available in
the 2-, 3-, and 4-Triden villages. |
|
Entertainment |
| Traditional Club Med entertainment is
offered in all villages no matter what their classification.
Evening entertainment usually includes a Club Med cabaret, a musical
style show or a special theme evening. All entertainment is
orchestrated by the G.O. team, led by a sports or entertainment manager
in the 2-Trident villages and a specific entertainment manager at all
the other villages. All villages with a Mini Club organize a Mini
Club show at the end of each week (depending on the number of
children). All 4-Trident villages offer either a live band or
piano-bar, depending on the destination. |
|
Adults Only |
| All villages offer a party atmosphere
however if you seriously wish to "party on down" you should
choose one of the Adults Only villages which offer musical shows with
live bands, dance classes, Techno-Crazy Afternoons of techno music and
dance and of course a lively nightclub, open to the early hours.
Minimum age is 18. |
|
Children |
| All children's club villages offer a
wide variety of games, leisure and sports facilities, specifically
adapted to each age group. Most Mini Clubs have separate areas for
the different age groups (i.e., 4-6, 6-8 8 up to 13 years), except at
some 2-Trident villages which accommodate all the Mini /club children in
the same area. |
|
The G.O.s |
| Club Med vacations are coordinated by a
unique team of professional international hosts and hostesses known as
the G.O.s (Gracious Organizers). They dedicate themselves to
looking after you, the G.M.s (Gracious Members), throughout your
stay. They come from all over the world and speak several
languages.
They will welcome you with a smile,
teach you a new sport, look after your children and generally make sure
you enjoy the vacation of a lifetime. There are 10,000 G.O.s of
over 80 different nationalities working in villages all over the world.
You will see them everywhere as they work around the clock, behind the
scenes, organizing the sports, the children's clubs, performing on stage
and even joining you for lunch or dinner.
The one thing you will find that they
all have in common is their enthusiasm and dedication to creating the
best vacation for you. |
