Some people think that Club Med has only activities for the young and trendy…

In fact, I used to think of Club Med as a singles club, where single people meet. Well, to a certain extent, this is true!

Club Med still has Discos on the resort where you can party till 2am. Coupled with a relaxing romantic atmosphere, this is an ideal place for newly-weds!

However, besides catering to teenagers and to the “swinging singles”, Club Med has night activities for the family as well.

For example, during our brief 3 Nights stay at Club Med, we experienced:

1) The Circus

2) Pirates Performance by the Children of the Hotel Guests

This was one of the activities where parents and kids enjoyed tremendously. It was also really fun watching the kids perform, and many proud parents were busy “snapping away”, as they watched their little ones perform!

3) A Cultural Show

To tell you the truth, I am not too much into the Cultural Dance Scene. But I thought that Club Med added a great touch to the festivities by bringing the Cultural Dance into the resort. This means that tourists do not need to go off the resort to soak in the Indonesian Culture. A real thumbs up to Club Med!

4) Fire Show

Native Balinese danced around with hula hoops set on fire. A real eye-opener for the kids, and great pool-side entertainment.

5) Family Carnival

The games at the carnival were really simple, but full marks to the staff for trying to make the games as fun as possible… And if you win a lucky draw prize, you get 10% off your Hotel Bill! Sounds like a great deal to me!

Overall, I genuinely believe that Club Med is great value for the whole family. Although it is on the more “pricey” side, the resort can turn out to be a real bargain, when you purchase your holiday, with their 1 for 1 specials.

Best of all, you can still get supper all the way to 1130pm, at no additional cost. This is one resort where you will not lose weight!

This morning when we woke up in Club Med Bali, we decided to bring Nicole (Our 5 year old daughter) to try out the circus trapeze on the resort.

Being young and untainted by fear, she was naturally very excited that she could be like a flying gymnast soaring through the Bali skies…

In fact, she was still very excited, as she climbed up the ladder towards the platform

As she made her way to the top…her fears were beginning to show, and she had to be “yanked” across to the platform.

And here she was, looking apprehensive before the “launch”

And the moment Nicole was “launched” from the platform…

She shouted…

“LET ME DOWN!!!” 

It was really quite funny…as the Whole Peaceful Bali Morning…was broken by the continuous shouts of “LET ME DOWN…”

As you can see…its actually quite high…so who could blame her!

Naturally, she was more than happy to be safely down on solid ground!

However, our adventures did not stop there. Seeing that Nicole displayed such bravery on the trapeze, Mummy managed to get Daddy to try out the circus in the afternoon. She said that Daddy had to go up there, to show his daughter how it is done!

Daddy was not enthusiastic about it at all…

First up, Daddy had to go for ground school training. I had to get used to having myself outside down… A great feat for this out of shape Daddy.

Here is Daddy with his instructor from New Zealand. Soon, it was my turn…and I had a date with destiny…

Actually, the hardest part is stretching out to grip for the swing as depicted in the first photo. It was at this moment of time that I actually felt fearful!

However, once you kick off from the platform, the adrenalin starts pumping, and your mind is just focused on getting your legs onto the swing…

And Yes…I managed to do the over-head hang! Looks like I am on my way to become a Circus Daddy!

Wohoo!!! Club Med Bali is certainly proving to be an unforgettable experience….And as Nicole saw Daddy doing it, she says that she wants to try it again! Talk about leadership by example!
