Tennis
If tennis is an important priority, this hotel is a very good choice. There are 314 rooms and 2 courts available. This works out to an average of approximately 377 guests per tennis court, which is not as favorable a ratio as you would experience at some hotels in the region. Vacationers will have some chances to play, but during the high tourism season you may have to wait for a time when the courts aren't crowded, like when most other guests are getting ready for dinner. Evening matches are a possibility, since you have the option of using a lit court. This is ideal for travelers who want to spend the daylight hours exploring, or lounging on the beach.
