00:00hello everybody how's it going i'm here in paradise well at least you'd think so here on
00:04the mediterranean coastline a club med palmy where they've just enjoyed a multi-million pound
00:10renovation and boy you can tell this place is insane i don't think i mean i know for a fact
00:16i've never stayed in a hotel complex like this it's got a little bit of everything
00:20for everyone if you're an active guy you like to be out and about doing sports you've got over 15
00:25to choose from you name a sport it's got it to your club med probably paddle tennis football water
00:31skiing ping pong um beach volleyball honestly everything it's got a gym a spa with massage
00:38treatment you name it this place has got a club med is the the original the og all-inclusive destination
00:47and the refurb at this turkey branch in palmer is ridiculous i mean everything from the food you've
00:53got people literally cooking steak in front of your face however you want it salmon chinese food italian
01:01proper like none of the normal buffet stuff that you get in england or you know your bobby basic
01:07hotel this place really does seem to go the extra yard when it comes to the food the sport the
01:12activities you can go on a boat trip i mean nobody could get bored of this place i've been i'm just i'm
01:19just really good and i've only been here for three or four days because i feel like i've only scratched
01:24the surface of what club med's got to offer and you know in a complex like this you always have all
01:31the staff whether you're at the bar getting you to getting a drink or whether you're having your
01:35breakfast or even if you just um you've left your key in the room and you you need to go to reception and
01:42get some help or whatever everybody seems to go the extra yard who do i believe the resort's
01:46tailored for now i mean it's got families written all over families and couples like i touched on
01:52earlier with all the activities that's going on it's perfect your kids are never going to get bored
01:56here no chance they're never they're not going to be stuck on the phones on the ipads by the pool
02:02because there's just so much going on and if you've got little ones like really really younger ones
02:06there's a rare and all-day nursery i've seen them on their little push bikes and everything and even
02:12then i mean obviously i haven't been in the nursery but i think you can just tell this here to go the
02:17the extra mile the extra yard and i would love to come here one day with my own family i mean club
02:23med is the oj the original all-inclusive and it's north shores i mean even if you do like a little bit
02:30of a drink on a night time whatever entertainment's unbelievable off the trots i think yesterday it was a
02:34circus they've got like live singers sort of at every corner even when just enjoying having your meal and
02:41last night at the white party look at this the food was so nice that all the chefs got like a
02:47round of applause like a lap of honor and everybody was going mental just just to say thank you back
02:53because i've never seen anything like that before but it was so well deserved because the food
02:58is unbelievable with club med being a french holiday company you may think you've got to brush up
03:03on your bon joirs and your seafood players but you'll be absolutely fine 90 of the staff here i would
03:08say i can speak perfect english when you've got the journey pat war like myself might be a little
03:13bit difficult so you've got to slow down a few times but for the average brit out there you can
03:16have absolutely no problem you may even fancy a little bit of the french cuisine i give a little
03:21go myself like pretty much everything else that's being offered on this on this trip i gave it a go
03:26not quite for me the french cuisine i think i'll stick to me bacon sandwiches and me fish and chips but
03:31it's there if you want if you want to try just immerse yourself in this amazing destination it's
03:35unbelievable man if i was to pick a highlight in the trip it would probably be the boat trip
03:41went right over the horizon there around the corner pasta the big mountain there puts the anchor down
03:48you can jump in the sea chill relax top up your tan and paddle paddle would be the other one i mean i've
03:54been dying to try and pick up a hobby and i've already been looking at paddle paddle clubs back in
03:59england i'm running out of superlatives i mean the place is amazing i said at the start of the video
04:03that i wasn't going to waffle on but i just feel like i i want to try and do the place justice i'm
04:08one of these who normally books a hotel somewhere likes getting out and about but i don't know why
04:15you would i mean everything you've got is here from the from the food to the rooms to the to the people
04:21to the weather to the activities everything truly is off the charts like next level it's opened my eyes to
04:28what a elite real like real top class hotel complex was over whatever you want to call it is and yeah
04:38i mean if you haven't put the clubbed holiday yet i would highly recommend doing so you can have the
04:43table your life and join me in paradise
