Here's what others have had to say about Park Hyatt Aviara Resort.
-
"Of all tennis resorts and camps that l have ever vacationed at, tennis at Park Hyatt at Aviara stands heads and shoulders above all others in the world. What separates this resort from all others begins with the superior leadership of Mr. Steve Halverson, the Director of Tennis superior which flows to the exceptional performance of his coaches and support staff. Mr. Halverson and his team always seem poised and at the ready to meet and exceed the needs of all guests. It is pretty clear even the casual observer, that each member of the team is passionate about what they do and love being a part of the tennis program at the Park
Hyatt-Aviara resort.
Being a 30 year veteran of the military, I have to come quickly recognize, appreciate and respect organizations that are well coached and well led. From that perspective, I appreciate and respect the leadership influence that Mr. Halverson has had within the tennis facility of Park Hyatt resort. He models a positive attitude and winning spirit which serves as the catalyst that inspires the best of those who work with, around , or for him.
In this day and age where companies and corporations are consumed with production and profit margins, it is refreshing to step onto a property where the focus is more on building personal relations than boosting profit margins. Great leaders seem to understand that when they focus on the former, they achieve the latter.
The flawlessly clean conditions of this tennis resort, combined with the personable, professional and passionate manner in which the director, his coaches and support staff function together to produce award winning service is what separates Aviara tennis resort from all others and stands as the basis for my "5-Star" review."—K.W., Adv.

"Steve, the tennis pro at the Park Hyatt is excellent. We have vacationed at Aviara for many years and he is our favorite. He is very knowledgable and able to access what needs work. He has made small adjustments that have greatly benefited their game. In addition he is a great guy, and very easy to work with.
The entire staff at Aviara tennis is wonderful and we have never had a negative experience. Which is why we keep coming back."—J.G., Adv. Int., April 2023

"We are writing not solely about the tennis facilities and programs but also about Coach Steve H. We are the parents of a 15 year old who has excellent coaching back in our Indiana home state. Nonetheless, the attention and strategic insights our son got from Coach Steve were just inspiring and energizing. Our son worked in his physical game but also in the mental and strategic part of his game simultaneously. We went from an hour per day to 2 or 3 involving friends at times. So positive and uplifting.
It was just wonderful watching our son gain confidence along with skills. Anyway we have friends who recommended Aviara and Coach Steve and we are very grateful that we took their advice! Thanks so much."—K.F., Pro, April 2023

"Aviara is our favorite destination for tennis lessons in Southern California! My wife and I love his lessons - and also love to take friends there for a mind blowing tennis experience. Steve Halverson is an immensely talented teacher, impressively in tune with each individual student, and makes tennis so much more fun in the process. We love going there!"—J.S., Adv. Int., March 2023

"Love Park Hyatt Aviara, and Steve Halverson is one of the best pros I've ever worked with. Patient, astute, kind, and pleasant. Love the vibe."—C.N., Adv. Int., June 2022

"The Park Hyatt Aviara is absolutely beautiful. The recent renovations to the property are outstanding!
Steve Halverson and his staff at the tennis center are unsurpassed! I have taken a group of 8 - 12 tennis friends there for, what will be in October, 7 years!! Steve offers great drills as a coach and organizes round robins for our group.
Fun, caring, beautiful, and all around spectacular. That's the tennis you'll find at the Park Hyatt Aviara."—J.S., Adv. Int., June 2022

"I really enjoyed and looked forward to all of my tennis lessons with Steve Halverson last March of 2022. He is easy going but focused and makes learning fun. He also gave a lesson to my step son who is 16 and he had a blast with Steve wanting to continue. You can tell Steve loves what he does, is genuine and has a no nonsense approach that works! Whether you are a seasoned player, a seasonal player, or just starting to play I highly recommend Steve Halverson he’s the best! He can help you hone in your skills for your best win(s)!"—M.C., Beg., June 2022

"We are returning guests and couldn’t say enough about Aviara’s tennis program. Our first few lessons in 2021 for our son were so great that, when we returned in 2022, Steve (star coach) was our first call to arrange not only private lessons for our son but also for us! Steve Halverson is the highlight of the tennis program, who can pivot from teaching little kids to adults with ease and grace. His experience can truly be seen in his trained eye to see where adjustments are needed and the way he communicates in order to execute and get the desired results. Steve is an exceptional teacher who can spark a passion for tennis in all his students, no matter the age. The courts are well maintained and the setting is beautiful with high end amenities, but Steve is the key reason why we will return annually."—S.I., Adv. Int., June 2022

"Tennis instructor Steve Halverson was professional, kind, and extremely experienced. He was able to take my basic strokes (after 30 yrs of playing/4-4.5 level) and literally refined them in a matter of 90 minutes. Would highly recommend Steve as his method works; plus, just a really great guy to talk tennis with!! Will definitely be back!"—D.D., Adv., May 2022

"If you want to learn or improve your tennis game, this is an amazing place with an outstanding instructor, Steve Halverson . Steve is not only warm and good natured, he’s the best instructor for breakdown the fundamentals and helping you improve. We have arranged two trips so far and can’t wait to return again."—D.L., Low Int., May 2022
