going

club med villages are popular worldwide. one of the
biggest crowd drawer of club med villages are their
friendly and fun loving G.O.s (roughly means gentle
organisers) and the wide range of activities that
are available at the resort.
club
med g.o.s are a bunch of fun loving, talented and
high energy individuals who will take initiative to
strike a conversation with the guests, and also take
charge of oranising fun activities during the scheduled
timings.
one of
the most common response we get from our clients when
we mention club med is "isn't it expensive?"
our response will be, "yes, and no".
yes,
if you are going for more than one night's stay, as
you have to pay for the $60 per year memebership plus
an additional night's stay, but it may still be worthwhile,
as an incentive to the staff.
definitely
no, if you intend to use the seminar rooms for games
or meetings. club med ria bintan typically charges
around S$400 per participant*(for 2D1n packages, NOW
AVAILABLE TILL mAY 2007(THEIR PEAK PERIOD), excluding
our team bulding charges of about $160 per person,
depending on group size), depending on the season.
this rate includes ferry tickets, land transfers,
seminar room and equipment rental (first confirmed
booking first served basis), usage of public run club
med activities (like kayaking, archery, trapez, pool
games... etc) and last but not least, true international
buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner!!! we find it to
be a good deal! plus the fact that the staff at the
resort are friendly and helpful and thus make the
job of team building facilitators like us easier.
We have
conducted team building for United arab shipping co
and economic development board of singapore at club
med ria bintan, and they both loved the place, we
will be travelling up with monetary authority of singapore
next week and we will keep you posted of the outcome.
team
building at club med usually includes 1.5-day programme,
with 0.5 day R&R time for the staff to enjoy the
facilities at club med.
NOTE
on 14 Mar 2008: club med has ceased their 2d1n packages,
