Club Med Turkoise

Set on 28 hectares (69 acres) of sun-blasted scrubland on a white strip of beachfront overlooking Grace Bay, this adults-only all-inclusive resort was one of the pioneers of Grace Bay when it opened in 1984. To be honest, the oldest resort on the island is showing its age. The landscaping is negligible, the food serviceable at best, and from the outside the accommodations look more like barracks at a church camp than a luxe resort. Miked music blares like clockwork every day around sunset, and it's certainly noisier and more hyperactive than anything else on Grace Bay. But guess what? Even in the low season, it's packed with guests, filled to capacity when other resorts are half-full. Its appeal lies in its mix of nonstop activity and communal fun. Singles and couples come here to play in the sun -- and this sprawling beachside campus has plenty of toys, including a flying trapeze.

The village-style cluster of basic two- and three-story accommodations contains colorful rooms with twin or king-size beds, all designed with beachfront living in mind. The "all-inclusive" designation means that meals are included as well as most drinks -- except the real good stuff, like champagne, certain premium liquors and wines, and canned and bottled drinks (be sure to check the fine print before you book). Among the three restaurants, La Mer has grilled meats and is open in the evening only (7:15-9:30pm; closed Fri). Most meals are served at long, communal tables. A dance club chugs along from 11:30pm to at least 3am nightly.
