Our stay at Club Med Michès was nothing short of exceptional—an easy 5-star experience from start to finish. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful and impeccably clean, with more activities than one person could possibly fit into a single trip. Whether you’re looking to relax or stay active, there’s truly something for everyone.
We stayed for 7 nights, and my room was honestly one of the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced anywhere in the world—spacious, stylish, and incredibly comfortable.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was the amazing team. Chef de Village Harrison and his staff made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Harrison, especially, brings incredible energy and fun to the stage—his presence really elevates the whole experience.
The food was outstanding. We made a point to try every restaurant on the property, and each one delivered. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The staff did a fantastic job keeping everything clean, clearing tables quickly, and always making sure your glass was full.
A special shoutout to Mish, Angel, Guytmy, Fanny, Ahmet, Confessor, and Oscar—each of you made our stay even more memorable with your warmth and excellent service.
We left with amazing memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!
Family Perfection in Paradise: Service, Circus, and Smiles at Club Med Michès
5/5 • 4/5/2026
Our recent week-long family stay at Club Med Michès was unforgettable, with something special for everyone from start to finish. The main bar stood out thanks to Juan and Genesis, who consistently made excellent drinks and provided warm, attentive service. The circus crew—Claudia, Candela, Nacho, and Joel—were absolutely amazing and just ridiculously talented (amazing performances in the shows!). They brought energy, skill, and fun that our son couldn’t get enough of. The circus expo event was especially fun - we've stayed at several Club Meds with circus and none have had a "show" where GMs can participate. Such a fun idea! We also loved archery, the facilities were great and Jhony’s expert coaching made it both accessible and exciting for all ages. The beach is absolutely beautiful, clear water and soft sand. We stayed in a basic family room, which worked just fine for us given that we're so on the go! We loved the ATV excursion and had a great time horseback riding on the beach. From the fantastic service at CoCoPlum with Kelia (one of our favorite dinner's the entire trip) to Annie, the incredibly kind barista at the coffee house who always remembered my daughter’s order, the personal touches truly made this trip exceptional!
Just returned from 7 nights at Club Med Miches. What an incredible experience! This is my 3rd Club Med and while I have enjoyed the previous 2 (Cancun and Charlevoix), this latest trip exceeded all my expectations.
The resort itself is beautiful. The entrance hall alone sets the stage! The beach was very clean and the water was stunning. The adult pool is really well designed and we spent time there most days.
We stayed in Archipelago. My god what a beautiful setup this was … our own private pool with direct beach access. We spent time in that pool at the start and finish of every day. One of my most favourite rooms at any place I’ve stayed around the world. The private outdoor shower was the icing on the cake! Cleaning staff did a great job daily and we felt really taken care of.
The food!!!! We loved the food options here, from the main buffet to the steak restaurant to Coco Plum. Delicious, tons of options, and everything just felt fresh. The bars all had premium liquor options and the cocktails offered up were well prepared and beyond your usual all-inclusive expectations.
And the staff - what can I stay. The Club Med staff in Michès made our whole trip. The CDV Harrison is just this ball of energy and fun and professionalism and customer service rolled into one. The bar staff remembered us and what we liked from day one - special shoutout to Angel, Guytmy, Adonys, and Ahmet with his antics. The restaurant staff were all attentive and just awesome - thank you to Confessor and Oscar!!
The activities were all well-managed and super fun. We did our best to try everything. The Circus staff were exceptional.
We have travelled a lot over the last two years, from Europe to Australia. Out stay at Club Med Miches stands out as the best experience we have had.
After 10 incredible days at Club Med Michès, I would like to thank the entire GO team for such an amazing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for, which made this vacation truly unforgettable. A special thank you to Harrison, who manages the resort with professionalism and passion. He takes the time every day to check in with GM's and make sure everything is going well, which truly makes a difference. In the evenings, he also brings amazing energy to the dance floor and creates a fun atmosphere for everyone. A special mention as well to Abi and Akshay from the restaurant team for their kindness and professionalism. Thank you also to Fanny, Ricardo, Mish, Abby, Alejandro, Manu, Julie, and Luis for their positive energy, friendliness, and for making every day even more enjoyable. Because of all of you, these 10 days will remain a beautiful memory. I already can’t wait to come back!
The trip isn’t even over yet, but wanted to comment on the dinner I had at coal & copper. I had the pleasure of having Manuela as my server and she was phenomenal. She was highly attentive in addition to just being a kind person. The food was delicious. The quality was superb and the ambience was so special.
Highly recommend when you come to club Med Miches that you also book a reservation at this restaurant. Make sure you ask for Manuela.
Vaccinations and medical treatment... It is your responsibility to check all the necessary formalities before departure.
Vaccinations recommended: Diphtheria Polio Tetanus Hepatitis A and B.
Mosquitos can transmit certain viral or parasitic diseases, so the use of tropical mosquito repellents for the skin and clothing is recommended.
Risk of malaria only in certain remote zones, far from the Resort, along the Haïtian border. The risk concerns the most dangerous form of malaria (falciparum, so serious prevention is necessary (chemoprophylaxis and mosquito repellents).
To preserve resources and reduce waste, our Resorts strive to ban most single-use plastic products from bars, restaurants, and rooms through our "Bye-Bye Plastics" program.
Preserving biodiversity
Since 2023, our Resort has been a partner of Protortuga, the first sea turtle monitoring and protection program in the Michès and Lavacama region. In 2024, we inaugurated a sea turtle camp on our beach, reinforcing our commitment to marine biodiversity.
