Review of Club Mobay

I went with the bundle option where I got the benefits of both arrival and departure. The arrival portion of the bundle was money well spent! It made everything so easy and relaxing. Departures was a bit of a different story.

Review of Arrival to Club Mobay

The arrival benefits of Club Mobay were truly a dream. We disembarked from the plane and walked barely a few feet before we saw a Club Mobay representative with my name on the whiteboard.

The representative was incredibly friendly and gave us all kinds of great travel tips for the area as she walked us to the private immigration line. Let me tell you, that was a great feeling as we walked by a very long twisting line for immigration. That would have taken at least an hour. Instead, we were through immigration in 10 minutes.

She then escorted us to the Club Mobay Lounge where we had complimentary rum punch and some snacks. The food was just ok, nothing special. BUT THE RUM PUNCH WAS EXCELLENT. (Yes, all caps were necessary.) Our representative came back and escorted us to our driver when he was ready. So easy and so relaxing. The service was excellent.

This was an incredible experience and put us into vacation mode. It was 100% worth every penny and I would do it at every airport if I could. I can’t speak highly enough about the service, speed, and calming effect it had at the start of the trip. Do this.

Review of Departure to Club Mobay

Once back at the airport, it was a bit hard to find the fast-track security line for Club Mobay. We had to ask around. Once we did, it was a breeze. We went through very quickly and then walked over to the lounge.

Check-in at the lounge was easy and they stored our luggage. While the lounge was busy, an attendant walked us over to our table. We were able to order a few cocktails and some food. The food wasn’t great. It was fine but not something I need to eat again. Service was good. It was a comfortable place to sit and relax.

While the lounge was nice, I wouldn’t pay for the departure services again. It just wasn’t worth it. The main security line wasn’t that long and the food wasn’t good. It just wasn’t worth the money. HOWEVER, if you are traveling with kids or have any mobility issues etc., it might be worth it for the shorter security line.

Final Thoughts…

Club Mobay is worth every penny. I highly highly recommend this service. It made my trip so much better and relaxing. So is Club Mobay worth it? Yes!
