Trip Review: A Florida Getaway
The Myers family of 5 from Lower Gwynedd, PA (two adults and three boys, ages 12, 16, and 18) traveled to the all-inclusive Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Port St. Lucie, Florida in August for a family getaway before their oldest left for college. They wanted an easy-to-reach location in the U.S. that offered numerous on-site activities that didn’t require a lot of advanced planning to enjoy. To get to the resort, they flew into the Palm Beach airport and took the Club Med transfers that take about one hour. The family stayed in a Connecting Family Superior Room with bay views. This category offers guaranteed connecting rooms. With over 1,000 sq. ft. there was plenty of space for them all to spread out. They noted that the riverside resort had so many activities that they could all enjoy including water sports such as paddle boarding, exercise classes, bocci, and miniature golf. The resort also showcases golf, tennis, pickleball, spa, circus program, several pools, supervised programs for infants through teens, and more. The family especially enjoyed the casino night where dad won a Texas Hold‘Em tournament! The food at this French-owned all-inclusive got especially good reviews as well as the super nice and helpful staff. Their only complaint was that it was evident that the resort was short-staffed as their rooms were cleaned late in the afternoon when they wanted to just shower and relax after a day in the sun. Mom mentioned that it wasn’t the fanciest resort they have ever stayed in but were appreciative of The Family Traveler’s advance notice. Overall they all had a great time and it was just the getaway they needed. They would definitely recommend this resort to other families.
