Our second time back to Club Med Kani was absolutely spectacular! What truly set this vacation apart was the flawless experience at the Manta overwater villas combined with an enthusiastic, wonderful team that turned this trip into an unforgettable holiday full of cherished memories. Our premium experience started before we even set foot on the island. A massive, heartfelt thank you to Candice, who looked after our family flawlessly from start to finish. With the wonderful help of Candice and Oksana, our arrival and arrangements were handled perfectly, giving us total peace of mind for this holiday!
Candice warmly welcomed us right at the jetty upon arrival, and on our final day, she took care of everything to seamlessly accommodate our departure schedule, making our last day completely stress-free. A deep thank you goes to Rika at the Manta Reception, who is profoundly helpful and greeted us with the warmest, most radiant smile every single day. Over at the Manta bar, Al Amin and Basir both deserve double stars for mixing the best drinks for our family.
The heart and soul of Kani is its incredible team. Nooman was an absolute standout. He instantly recognized our family from our last visit 2 years ago and came over to chat and catch up with us warmly! He is incredibly experienced, took the time to thoroughly explain, prepare, and guide us for our excursion to swim with the sharks, and made us all feel completely safe. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable, and it was truly an amazing day that our family will always cherish. Another incredible moment was our reunion with Chicken. What an amazing surprise after 10 years! Our kids loved him when we first met him at Club Med Cherating a decade ago. Despite the passage of time, he is still the exact same friendly, caring, and friendliest Chicken we’ve ever met. #TeamChicken ✌️!
The exceptional care and unmatched island vibes continued everywhere we went. Mojibor is the absolute best! We were so happy he instantly recognized our family and was the very first to welcome us back with his signature attentive service. He is incredibly warm, making us feel just like we were catching up with an old friend. He even set up a special table on our last dinner in Kani for our family featuring a beautifully crafted manta ray and the words “See U Soon” which really touched us deeply and makes us love Club Med even more. Shifuzaan was also very attentive, friendly, and polite. Anjas kept the resort vibes lively, and it was lovely connecting with GG, who always greeted us with a beautiful smile, a charming personality, and is an absolute great dancer! Mossey provided a good guide for snorkeling alongside great conversations about soccer (Chelsea all the way! ⚽). He is such a nice guy, and he even rushed over to have a chat and say goodbye to us right before we left Kani, which really made us feel so warm.
From the restaurant to the beach, every single crossed path with this team brought pure joy to our vacation. We absolutely love seeing and meeting all these wonderful people, and hopefully, our next Club Med stay will introduce us to the same kind of amazing souls. We are already planning our next trip and considering the brand-new Club Med Borneo for our June holiday next year, and we are so excited! Thank you all for the beautiful memories.
