Here's what others have had to say about Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa.
"Resort was excellent. Facilities were very good however the bed mattresses were too soft for us and different to many other hotels we have stayed in around Cal.
I wish to praise the Director of Tennis, Steve Halverson. My tennis lessons were excellent. He has developed a very professional and fun approach to teaching. I will return!"—L.H., Adv. Int., July 2011
"Steve really knows tennis and is a great pro. He has a wonderful approach to instruction and a perfect temperament to make a student feel comfortable. I had several productive private lessons with him and expect I'll be able to use a lot of what we worked on in my game back at home. That said, I can't wait to go back!"—J.J., Int., May 2011
"Beautiful resort with great amenities. The tennis complex was well equipped and nicely kept. The highlight for me though was Steve Halverson, with whom I took several private lessons. I am a novice player but he made learning to play fun. Not only do I feel my skills improved dramatically but Steve instilled a sense of excitement about the game that has encouraged me to keep practising! I can't wait to go back."—A.S., Beg., March 2011
"As new tennis players, we really enjoyed the lessons provided by the Steve Halverson at the resort. His approach to the game allowed us to enjoy the learning process vs. being intimidated at learning a new game. Steve's approach has definitely got us hooked and we cannot wait to return back to Aviara later this year!"—J.F., Beg., March 2010
""—J.M., Adv., April 2007
"The tennis director is so knowledgeable about tennis in general. He is easy to communicate with, and has a great personality."—D.P., Adv., September 2006
