This 360-acre resort has an attractive complex of seven hard courts, notable chiefly as the home to the Reed Anderson Tennis School. Anderson provides tennis services like private lessons, clinics, and his school curriculum, while guests looking simply to book court time or borrow a racquet make arrangements through the adjacent spa.

Overview

Set on 360 acres in the residential community of Rancho Mirage, the Westin Rancho Mirage has 510 rooms and suites in more than a dozen clusters to either side of the main Spanish-Moorish hotel and on or near the Pete Dye golf course. The spacious lobby (with extensive meeting space to either side) flows through to a sprawling Las Brisas swimming pool highlighted by a 60-foot waterslide. There are two smaller pools to either side amid the lodging clusters. The tennis courts—an unusual rust color with a tan border (called "Santa Fe" colors)—stand in one corner of the property, roughly 100 yards from the lobby and directly adjacent to the Spa and fitness center. One is a sunken stadium with grassy terraces to either side. Like the resort itself, the courts are landscaped with oleander, hibiscus, and sentinels of palm trees.

Your Call

Here's what others have had to say about Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa.

• "We were disappointed because over the three days, we hardly saw Reed Anderson. The instructor that provided the actual instruction was not really worth the money - she simply fed balls to us with little value added instruction.
  We had signed up for afternoon classes as well but they weren't provided - we learned that the afternoon classes were off only after we arrived !!
  The hotel is terrific, the courts are fine and the vacation was pleasant. But the tennis instruction was below what we expected, although the short time with Reed Anderson himself was enjoyable."—K.F., Adv. Int., April 2008
