I had a fantastic experience at the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre at Don Carlos. I took three lessons during my stay: one private session with Jeremy and two group clinics with David. Both formats exceeded my expectations and really helped me upskill my game with practical, high-value technical tips. The private lesson with Jeremy was essential to work on specific fundamentals; I was able to fine-tune my serve and improve my balance. On the other hand, the group clinics with David were the perfect vacation mix: dynamic, great cardio, and a lot of fun. David brings incredible energy to the court, always smiling and making the session both challenging and enjoyable. Both coaches are top professionals. A special mention goes to Maggiy at reception, who coordinates all the lesson schedules. She is truly wonderful, welcoming, and attentive. Since I was staying at another hotel, she went out of her way to organize suitable session times and even arranged taxis for my return trips. Her warmth and professionalism made the entire logistics effortless. I highly recommend the centre to anyone visiting the area.
This is one of the best hotels I have ever been too. From the moment we got here to the moment we have checked out has been a 10/10 experience. The staff are absolutely amazing, so polite and go above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable stay. They are so accommodating. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are spotless. No sunbed wars! We went down on the first day when we arrived at 2pm and there was still many sunbeds available which is so nice knowing you don’t have to rush in the morning for one. As a couple who love to go to the gym while on holiday, there was 2 gyms, one near the pool & one near the tennis. They have everything you’d need to do a full workout of any type. The two beach clubs on site are stunning, Nikki beach is more lively and Lucia is more of a relaxing vibe. There is lots around, perfect location.
Overall this hotel is honestly lovely, catered for everyone. Would definitely return & 100% recommend!
Magy and Romain is nice to us! Location is also perfect.
Amazing location by the beach with incredible tennis facilities, superb coaches and especially Maggy at the tennis reception has made the experience fabulous. Definitely coming back.
The tennis instructors are amazing and so helpful! Our group stayed for 4 days and the staff accommodated our group well. The clay courts are beautifully maintained. It was a great experience.
