Activities and Recreation at Allamanda Resort

An extensive selection of active pursuits isn't necessarily necessary for a memorable vacation. While some travelers will be happier at a hotel with many different activities available, others can be happy with a small selection of recreational options, or they simply want a relaxing place to stay. Even though this hotel doesn't provide a very extensive array of recreational resort amenities the Allamanda Beach Resort & Spa may have what everything you really care about.

Golf

Although the Allamanda Beach Resort & Spa does not have a golf course, if you'd like to play some golf during your vacation, the hotel can arrange for guests to play at a nearby course. The nearest course to the Allamanda Beach Resort & Spa is Grenada Golf Course & Country Club, 0.6 miles northwest of the hotel. This is a par 34, with a total length of 2,613 yards. The standard greens fees for using this course are as follows: $23. To find out more information the course can be contacted at (473)444-4128.

Tennis

This hotel is a particularly good choice if tennis tops your vacation wish list. You probably won't have much difficulty getting to use a court, since the hotel has 51 rooms and 1 court available. This translates to an average of merely 122 guests sharing each court, which is favorable compared to other hotels in the Caribbean. The hotel offers the option of playing on a lit court, so you can play into the evening hours. This is perfect for vacationers who would rather spend the day soaking up some sun on the beach.

Regardless of whether or not live entertainment is being offered at the hotel's bar, its a good place to enjoy your favorite beverages. Typically, live entertainment is offered 4 days a week.
