Here's what others have had to say about Naples Grande Beach Resort.

"our pro was Hanane and we requested her for every drill or lesson we took by my entire family. She was professional, upbeat and creative in teaching us. She is a gem and do not lose her. If she would stay at our resort we would be a long term customer."—S.S., Adv. Int., March 2021

"This is the second time we have come to this resort and one of the main reasons is to take tennis lessons from Hanane. She is amazing. She has the unique ability to look at what you are doing and make recommendations specific to you. She is a master at teaching because she can not only show you what you need to do but explain it in a way that makes sense. I am a more intellectual learner so having a great communicator is amazing and rare. The cardio tennis taught by Sam was also amazing. Highly recommend it. The resort is in a perfect location. Tennis court is on premise, beach is right there, adult pool is really nice and food is great. The hotel property is very nice. The first visit we stayed in a standard room and the second time a suite (very spacious). The only drawback is that the bathrooms in your hotel rooms are dated."—C.P., Adv. Int., March 2021

"My husband and I were vacationing with another couple. Three of us did the tennis drills every morning and Daniel and Hanan were great!! Very friendly, high energy and fun games and drills! I would definitely recommend to all tennis players and all levels of ability!! Thank you for a great time!! We will be back!!"—B.S., Adv. Int., February 2021

"The tennis courts were impeccably kept and had a ton of room on the sides and in the backcourt. The tennis staff (Daniel and Hanane) create a great atmosphere of friendliness and go out of their way to introduce as many players to each other as possible. Daniel set me up with hitting sessions each day and accommodated all of my requests for intense, heavy hitting and competitive play at the 4.5 - 5.0 level. Had an absolute BLAST the entire time. Opened up a whole new realm of vacationing for me."—T.M., Pro, January 2021

"The Best Tennis Center in Florida---great experience----Hanane is one of the best instructors and hitting partners in the USA"—J.B., Adv., January 2021

"Took several group private lessons with Head Pro Daniel Harden, he immediately asked us what we would like to work on for our hour lesson and tailored high energy and innovative fun drills that got us moving and improved our strokes, great work out as well. He is an attentive pro who really listens and gave us great instruction. I look forward to returning to NGBR in the coming weeks and taking more lessons with Daniel"—H.D., Int., January 2021

"Daniel Harden is the best tennis Pro. His lessons are fantastic. He is energetic, creative and attentive. His feedback is amazing. My strokes have improved immensely with his help. His clinics are fantastic. Very fun with varied drills and the right mix of cardio and useful instructions."—L.B., Low Int., January 2021

"The best part of the Naples Grande Tennis facilities is the Head Pro Daniel Harden. He is energetic, fun, and gives great instruction. Our whole family saw great improvement in our games from working with Daniel. In the private clinic, we do fun games/drills while listening to Daniel's bumping tunes. Furthermore, the facilities are fantastic. We love getting a good sweat in Daniel's clinic/lessons in the morning and then relaxing by the beach in the afternoon. If you want great tennis instruction, a fun time in a beautiful setting, I would highly recommend NGR."—K.D., Int., January 2021

"Girls week. We searched the surrounding area for great tennis. We found it at the Naples Grande. Daniel was our tennis pro he was energetic, fun, and a superior instructor. We loved it. See you again soon. THANKS Daniel!!"—J.P., Adv. Int., December 2020

"Great resort! Adult tennis clinic and cardio tennis were great. Private lessons available"—C.F., Adv. Int., July 2019

"We recently visited the Naples Grande Beach Report for a 2 week holiday. The highlight of our holiday was the chance to play at the exceptional tennis club next to the hotel. My 2 children and I played tennis there almost every day during our holiday and I also played in 2 of the clinics during my stay run by Donald Becker. I can highly recommend the tennis at the resort. The professionals were truly exceptional and looked after us so well. The standard of the courts was also very impressive. I can’t speak highly enough of this tennis resort. I wouldn’t change anything."—P.F., Adv., May 2019

"I visited the Naples Grande Beach Resort with my family in April. We enjoyed all the resort had to offer! My son took lessons with Donald Becker, the pro on staff there. He was remarkably patient and extremely knowledgeable when working with my son. The courts we're well maintained. Scheduling was super easy and the pro shop went above and beyond to assist us. The pool was excellent, especially the water slide! The beach was lovely and worth spending the day at."—A.P., Beg., April 2019

"I had the pleasure of taking a lesson at the Naples Grande Beach Resort with pro Scott Welsh during our spring break trip to Florida in March. As an avid tennis player, it was definitely a highlight of our trip to Southwest Florida. Naples Grande Beach Resort is minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Its amenities are numerous, but for me, the tennis center is second to none. With 15 beautifully maintained har tru courts and a robust tennis program (with lessons, league matches, clinics, and player matching), there are endless opportunities to play some great tennis. The morning of my lesson, the courts were filled with eager tennis players of all ages. When I arrived, the front desk staff was super nice, welcoming and helpful. I took an hour lesson with Scott Welsh. The lesson was super fun and really beneficial for my game. Scott is an astute study of the game, and does a great job conveying that knowledge in a way that translates to your own personal game. I not only walked away with a great work-out but now have a number of helpful tips that I continue to incorporate in my game back home. I could not have asked for a better day on the courts (and the Florida sun was an absolute bonus). This is one of the nicest places I've ever gotten the chance to play! I can't wait to go back in January!"—L.R., Adv., April 2019

"I would recommend Naples Grande Beach Resort as the best destination for resort tennis for all levels. I played every day on my week long vacation and was able to witness the talent and ability of the tennis professionals to coach multiple skills across varying levels. The staff is organized, welcoming and instantly makes you feel at home. The upkeep of the courts and facility exceeded my expectations. The only area of opportunity I see is within the pro shop. Not necessary, but I would recommend that more retail merchandise is available for purchase."—E.F., Int., April 2019

"I am a member of the tennis club at the Naples Grande Beach Resort and played at least three times a week this season (December through April). There were three pros assisting us and a very strong office manager keeping track of the Courts. I worked extensively with Paulo and Donald who gave excellent instruction and ran efficient and challenging clinics. They were friendly, alert and had high energy (even when they had been on the Courts all day). I recommend this facility highly."—C.B., Adv. Int., April 2019

"This was one of the best tennis and overall resorts I have ever been to. The tennis staff was outstanding as well as the facility. It is definitely a new favorite destination that I will be visiting frequently. I am counting down the days until I can come back to enjoy the beautiful resort and all of its amenities, highly recommend it!"—J.F., Adv., April 2019

"Thank you to Donald and team for three outstanding tennis vacations in 2018/2019. I learn something new every lesson -- and taking these new skills and strategies back to my home club has made a major difference in my game. Beyond the lessons, Donald always makes sure to arrange matches at the resort. See you all in the fall!"—R.S., Adv. Int., April 2019

"Loved this facility. Tennis courts and clinics were amazing. Rooms and pool were awesome."—L.H., Adv. Int., April 2019

"Met Don Becker, pro at a Women's Tennis Coaching Association meeting last year. Naples Grande is fortunate to have Don and the Peter Burwash Group running the tennis show. Great wisdom and astute awareness of the nuances of tennis, matching guest experience."—T.K., Adv., April 2019

"I really loved the fun, fast paced clinic that Scott ran every morning when I was there. I think Naples Grande would be a great place for a tennis retreat. Beautiful setting, nice boardwalk path to the beach after tennis, nice restaurants and shopping within walking distance. Warm, sunny weather! Great place, I am definitely going back."—D.S., Int., April 2019

"My daughter's instructor Scott was awesome"—J.R., Int., April 2019

"This was our first time in Naples for tennis. The facilities were terrific and a very active club. The clinics were a great mix of abilities and found them both fun and helpful. The best part of the trip was working with the 2 Pros there, Donald and Paulo. I felt I really improved and they quickly targeted areas of my play that would help me improve the most. Overall I give this resort and staff high marks and would return for sure !"—E.F., Int., January 2019

"We just spent a great 5 days at the Naples Grande Resort. Fastastic experience with 5 great days of tennis with Donald and Paolo the 2 fantastic. Pros. We had lessons, participated in daily clinics that were really excellent and Donlat was able to get me matches every afternoon. We both made great improvement that stayed with our games, and the recognition by the pros of some small changes that made major impact speaks to the experience and professionalism both Donald and Paolo bring to the sport. In addition it was a really nice, friendly and social place where we both felt at home after the first hour! We highly recommend the resort as a great winter getaway to brush up on our game!"—E.D., Adv. Int., January 2019

"My husband and I spent a week in late April at the Naples Grand. We had a great time. The weather was exceptional and the amenities great. We also really enjoyed playing tennis with Chip. We each (separate and together) had several lessons and clinics and it was great. Chip was THE best instructor I have ever had! Tennis club is immaculate, staff were very friendly and accommodating and it was fun to meet other guests/locals at the clinics. My love of the game is back. Highly recommend it!"—D.L., Int., May 2017

"Our family has gone to the Naples Grande Resort for vacation for many years. What brings us back each year is the tennis program there. The tennis facility is excellent and the lesson we have taken are top notch. We have taken lessons from Adri each year and she is a outstanding tennis teacher with a great personality. Tennis lessons with Adri truely is one of the highlights of our vacations."—C.B., Int., April 2017

"We spend the holidays every year in Naples and make sure to book as many lessons with Adri as possible. She is full of personality, has a lot of energy and is a great instructor!"—S.C., Low Int., April 2017

""—M.R., Adv. Int., April 2017

"I had lessons with adri and she was so fantastic. She improved my game by teaching me the one handed backhands and she got me more excited about the game in general. I can't wait to come back to the Naples grand to take more lessons from adri!! My daughter will be able to play tennis soo too so hopefully adri teaches kids!!"—L.B., Adv. Int., April 2017

"Once again a fantastic time with Adri Atkinson and her staff at the Naples Grande. That's how tennis works. Thank you!"—R.V., Adv. Int., April 2017

"Just spent a few days at the Naples Grand Beach Resort and met tennis pro Chip Shade and tennis director Adri Atkinson. Both were very friendly and effective in the tennis clinic that I attended. It was a great experience learning about the PBI Tennis theories and very enjoyable tp play some tennis while on vacation. I will be back in Naples this August and look forward to playing some more tennis!"—J.M., Int., April 2017

"The PBI Tennis Center, overseen by the Director of Tennis - Adri Atkinson, at the Naples Grande Beach Resort is an outstanding tennis and resort venue. As much as we love the resort location, Gulf views, service, food and amenities we love the tennis there even more. Adri runs great group clinics as well as some of the best individual hitting and/or lesson sessions I have been engaged in. Adri is both technically proficient - and transfers that to your stroke and game, but she also provides convincing encouragement to execute the shots you are working on. Critically, Adri is very personable and puts fun, along with some work, into striving to make you a better shot-maker and overall player. We usually travel down to Naples a couple of times a year to stay at the resort - but we usually make that trip because we are actually more excited just to hit with Adri. The resort and the PBI Tennis Center is a great place to be for a week or two!"—C.B., Adv., April 2017

"I participated in two different tennis activities while I was staying at the resort. The first was a clinic that had different levels involved, but the pros were able to make the clinic beneficial for everyone involved. The did a good job on keeping the pace going and making it fun and still taught some great skill drills. The second thing I did was to take a private lesson with Chip. I had asked what I wanted to work on and told him that I wanted him to play a few games with me so he could see which parts of my game he thought he could most help me with. He did a great job, explained techniques in a way that I would be able to work on them on my own once I returned home. I really feel that this was a place to go not only for the accommodations, but also for the tennis and the pro's that were there to help."—J.C., Int., April 2017

"Great location and facility. The X factor is Adri, the Head Pro who is perfect for all abilities. She is not trying to make touring professionals but real tennis for real people. She never judges and no one size fits all approach. The best pro by far in a great center and not bad for a new mother! See you in August, Adri"—C.N., Int., April 2017

"I had a fantastic tennis holiday at the Naples grande Florida. The quality of the lessons was unlike anything I have had before. The tennis director AdRi was so awesome and her coaching really improved my game. Staff generally were very friendly and helpful and they always sorted us out with a court, even at short notice. Top tennis coaching will make sure this is now a regular holiday spot for us!"—N.V., Int., April 2017

""—K.S., Int., April 2017

"Just returned from an awesome vacation with my tennis gals! We played two hours and took two hour clinics each day for our 4 day getaway. Lots of great tennis! Courts in great shape. Thoroughly enjoyed our clinic time with Chip, Ian and Adri who made every lesson exciting and fun! Learned some good strategy to take back with us to our USTA matches - everyone learned and left playing way better than we started! They are extremely professional and talented and really enjoyed themselves on the courts with our group! Highly recommend!"—J.B., Int., April 2017

"We always search out a Peter Burwash International tennis resort FIRST when planning a trip. You can pick up with one of the outstanding pros anywhere and continue on your "learning ladder". That said, The PBI tennis center at Naples Grande Beach Resort pulls us back for repeat visits (from New York) whenever we can. Yes, the hotel is great and comfy, but the time spent on the court playing tennis with 1 of their pros UPS your game while having a great time- you can't beat that combination! Adri, Chip, Ian make a great team........I am already dreaming of when I can go back!"—A.H., Adv. Int., April 2017

"This resort had great courts with a strong support from the pros. I did a clinic, 2 sessions with pros, and lots of doubles with a local group and thoroughyl enjoyed my time there. PBI seems to consistently provide great tennis experiences!"—N.D., Adv. Int., March 2017

"Tennis is always fun at the PBI center at the Naples Grande Resort. The pro's are friendly and certainly know their tennis, whether it is in a clinic or a private lesson. This year I got to know Chip Shade after knowing his younger brother JD Shade for a few seasons. Chip is very friendly and knows his tennis, but most importantly he and his colleagues Adri (the tennis Director) and Ian stress that most of us are there to have lots of fun while playing energetic tennis. Everyone on staff is cheerful and always send us home with a smile."—P.S., Int., March 2017

"I pick vacation resorts that have tennis courts and tennis pros to hit with. Naples Grande is the place to stay in Naples if you like tennis. Lots of clay courts. And the pros are terrific. I hit with Chip Shade 3 times and my son hit with both Chip and Ian. They make it fun and you get a good workout with an hour lesson. Good tips during the course of the hit in a very relaxed hitting session. I highly recommend the experience. Plus, as a bonus, Stan Smith and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario were there for a business conference."—F.F., Adv., March 2017

"Thank you, Chip, for the intense lessons! I enjoyed Musical&TennisDays at Naples enormously."—M.Z., Int., March 2017

"I highly recommend the tennis program at Naples Grande Beach Resort. Chip Shade is an excellent instructor and a great guy. I participated in his clinics every morning and they were fun, a good workout and a great way to start the day. I also took a private lesson with Chip which is fabulous! I learned a lot and had fun doing it. Chip has a very friendly, relaxed, positive way about him and he was also one of the best instructors I've ever had."—K.M., Adv. Int., March 2017

"My wife and I spent a week in Naples and, although we did not stay at the resort, we took full advantage of the excellent tennis facilities there. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had a very good lesson with Chip, and also participated in a clinic. Our only minor complaint was that the clinic focused solely on doubles strategy and did not include any stroke instruction. Chip and the staff took very good care of us and we would highly recommend this resort to others."—T.G., Adv. Int., March 2017

"What an incredible time at Naples Grande Beach resort with Chip Shade. I am new to tennis and my lessons with Chip were great. Such a good teacher and he made it very enjoyable. Fast paced, efficient, and fun. Just what i was looking for. Thanks Chip for introducing me to tennis! Shane SD"—S.L., Beg., January 2017

"Chip and the staff were very accommodating for our group. They provided a first class clinic tailor made to the abilities of our group. I highly recommend this facility and lessons with Chip. I have been taking clinics and lessons for about 25 years and my experience was excellent. I will be putting together a huge group of tennis players for a girls tennis trip based on my experience at the Naples Grande Resort. For reference, our level is 4.5 and we have a ton of collective experience with tennis trainers and facilities. This was an A+!!! Can't wait to come back!"—L.L., Adv., December 2016

"Chip Shade is excellent and very conscientious instructor. Highly recommend him."—R.G., Int., December 2016

"March 2016 was my first time at the Naples Grande and my family and I had a great time and the tennis was the icing on the cake! The clinics were very helpful and the private sessions with Chip and Brendan will go a long way toward getting my game ready for summer. Thank you very much to Adri and team!"—S.K., Low Int., April 2016

"I go to the Naples Grand (and have been for the past 5 years) because of the fantastic tennis instruction, specifically Adri, the the head pro there. Not only has she taught me the strategy behind the game of tennis, but she makes the lessons and the game of tennis so much fun. In 25 years of playing tennis, no teacher has improved my game like Adri - she has brought my game to the next level."—L.B., Adv. Int., April 2016

"The tennis instructors at the Naples Grande, and Adri in particular, are phenomenal. Very skilled and fun. There are many courts to play on and they are very well-kept. The hotel is great as well- nice beach and near lots of good restaurants."—K.B., Adv. Int., April 2016

"The pros are phenomenal teachers."—R.S., Adv. Int., April 2016

"For the past five years, my husband and I have visited Naples Grande twice a year. Adri Atkinson and her staff have always welcomed us warmly adding to the enjoyment of our stay at the hotel. This past March we brought our 10 yr. old grandson who was introduced to tennis for the first time. He had daily lessons with Brendan Easterling who turned him into a tennis devotee. The instruction was perfectly geared to a child. He learned so much and enjoyed every time playing because of Brendan's skill."—A.C., Int., April 2016

"Our family's experience at the Naples Grande Beach Resort was excellent! One of the main reasons we have chosen (twice) to stay at the Naples Grande twice is the great tennis facility. We were welcomed by the friendly staff especially Natasha. We enjoyed daily family tennis on the well-maintained Har Tru courts, and both the kids and I enjoyed taking lessons from the pros Brendan and Chip. These guys really know their stuff! And they are super fun and friendly."—H.S., Adv., April 2016

"this was a great tennis experience. the pro chip shade was wonderful. i was coming off a illness and he brought me back perfectly,not too fast or too slow. iam now back home playing better than ever ! i shall be indebted to him forever."—S.B., Int., April 2016

"My family and I visit the Naples Grande tennis program every year, and it is always exceptional. The staff there Adri, Chip and Brendan are terrific and very skilled teachers. They easily taught my entire family including kids ages 7, 11 1nd 14 as well as my husband and myself. The atmosphere is lively and very good tennis players attended the daily clinics, always a good challenge. The tennis program is a significant reason why we always return to Naples, it never disappoints!"—J.K., Int., April 2016

"I recently had a stay at the Naples Grand Beach Resort. My goal was to get some tennis help-forehand was falling apart. Chip Shade broke it down and was a huge help to get me back on track! I love this tennis pro, he is the best! The resort is very nice, 14 tennis courts and well managed."—R.G., Adv. Int., March 2016

"I recently spent a long weekend at the Naples Grande so that I could participate in the PBI Cup. This was my second experience with Adri Atkinson and the great staff at the Naples Grande Tennis Club. I am from MA and played in the event as a guest, and was treated like a regular at the Club not only by the staff but also by the other players. Adri paired me up with another player for the first day of the doubles event and I could not have asked for a better partner - which is a testament to the type of players they attract in Naples. I would absolutely recommend the Club to anyone who is vising Naples, or who happens to be traveling through that area and wants to get out on some very well-maintained clay courts. The coaching is solid and Adri is always there to greet you with a big smile. The intangibles set Naples Grande Tennis Club apart."—D.H., Adv., February 2016

"Chip Shade the tennis pro was great. We arrived and he immediately made us feel comfortable. We had an odd number for doubles so he alternately rallied with different partners while the rest of us played a game. The prices were reasonable. I then returned solo to take his morning clinic. He was excellent at evaluating our games and very strategic in keeping u engaged at very different levels. I would highly recommend Chip's morning clinic."—A.M., Adv. Int., February 2016

"Tennis instruction from Adri, Brendan, and Chip was excellent for 9 ladies from our Nalta team in Tennessee. The 3 were energetic, fun, and organized with our morning and afternoon clinics. Adri kept in touch before and during our stay at Naples Grande Resort. It rained for 1.5 days, but the tennis staff was ready to go the next day! We learned some new tennis strategies, and we also worked on this during clinic with the pros. The only negative I could see was a small tennis shop, but this was very minor. The small restaurant, Aura, has very slow and poor service; food is minimal; this was the weakest part of the vacation."—T.S., Adv. Int., February 2016

"I can't say enough about the team of pros at naples grande beach resort. They handled our awkward group of 9 very well, kept us moving, we learned a lot. The resort is pricy, but the tennis program makes it worth it. Highly recommended,,"—R.G., Adv. Int., February 2016

"just got back from Naples and though the weather left something to be desired my tennis lessons with Chip were exceptional. I took home many usable tips for my game and Chip was very positive and encouraging .As I was not staying at the Naples Grande I was very surprised I could access such a high level program. next time I visit Naplesi will stay at the resort to have easier access to the tennis"—M.E., Int., January 2016

"Second year in a row taking lessons from head pro Brendan Easterling, what a great instructor! Brendan makes instruction fun! He works to make the chances in your game become habit. All aspects of my game have improved tremendously due to working with Brendan. Wish I lived closer so I could hit with him more often. Naples Grande has a great tennis facility. Great setting and the courts are in great shape."—S.O., Int., January 2016

"My husband and I made a return visit to Naples Grande solely because we enjoyed the tennis instruction so much. Adri, Chip and Brenden are excellent instructors. You walk away definitely feeling like you have elevated your game. Looking forward to going back as soon as we can."—W.S., Low Int., January 2016

"Another great vacation at NRG. Adri, Chip and Brendan run a great programme with lots of fun and social aspects. I took a number of private lessons with Brendan who really improved the requested aspects of my game. It's difficult to think of a nicer environment to play and enjoy the game. Looking forward to visiting Stanglwirt, as well."—M.C., Adv. Int., January 2016

"We (6 ladies) were traveling to Naples for a quick get-a-way from the cold up North. We did not stay on the resort so my review is just for tennis. I communicated Brenden prior to our arrival. I was able to set up a two day private clinic with Brenden which was very easy. He answered all my questions...even where to go for dinner. The instruction was great and very flexible. The tennis complex was nice, lots of courts. The pro shop could have been stocked with a little more. The cost was a little higher then other locations but the communication and amenities made us choose Naples Grande. We loved Brenden and would return."—M.T., Int., December 2015

"We had a fantastic stay at Naples Grande. There was a big group of U.S. and we all loved the instruction we got on the tennis courts. Brendan, Adri, Lino, Chip, all the staff were amazing. We loved all the different drills and exercises we tried but most of all I enjoyed the encouraging and positive feed back we got from each coach. Definitely a program I would try again."—L.S., Int., December 2015

"The club was a little tired. Rusted fences, the spectator benches were warped and loose, some cracked pavements etc. The place needs some TLC. I took a hitting lesson with a nice pro Chip who hit with me ( I was 7 week post knee surgery) so we rallied cooperatively, and hit some volleys. Nice guy gave me plenty of time, and was gracious with his time afterwards to talk some tennis. Pro shop poorly stocked."—R.K., Adv., December 2015

""—R.T., Adv., December 2015

"Outstanding tennis instruction. After an hour lesson with Brendan, my daughter's serves when from 5 mph to 50 mph (only slight hyperbole)"—J.W., Low Int., June 2015

"Top rate instruction with Adri and her staff including Chris and Scott. Beautiful well maintained courts and the city of Naples is a plus. Can't go wrong with PBI"—Z.A., May 2015

"I had a fantastic time a Grande Beach. The staff, particularly the tennis pros were fantastic and made the whole 2 weeks really enjoyable. Their enthusiasm is unmatched and I feel like I really learnt so many things to add to my game. I would definitely go back in a heart beat."—M.T., Adv. Int., April 2015

"I have been taking lessons with Adri for a few years now while on vacation and my game has definitely improved and at the same time, I have so much fun. In fact, I made my high school team for the past two years. My lessons at the Naples Grande has given me a lot of confidence in my forehand."—S.S., Int., April 2015

"My tennis experience was amazing. First time on a tennis vacation!"—B.R., Beg., April 2015

""—D.R., Low Int., April 2015

"The resort and the tennis facilities are in great condition. The coaches are very friendly and have a high tennis passion. They all love teaching. I tool several group lessons and I always walked away very happy and satisfied. Adri is a fantastic tennis director! When Im back in Florida I will defenatley return"—J.S., Int., April 2015

"Tennis at Naples Grande Beach Resort was just about the only aspect of the resort that my husband and I enjoyed. Brendan and Chris are friendly, likeable and great instructors. We did the clinic every morning of our trip and had a great time. My daughter and I both took a private lesson with Brendan and learned a lot. I highly recommend the tennis program at the hotel."—M.H., Int., April 2015

"The tennis was good fun. The instructors were very nice, patient, and gave both good tips and encouragement. I would go back in a heartbeat. I do wish the clinics were 90 minutes rather than 60, but that's pretty minor. I just played everyday!"—T.B., April 2015

"This resort was fabulous! Someone told us that they had a two fabulous instructors from over seas. We were not disappointed! While there on a Spring Break addition trip, we thought our 15-year-old charge should have a few lessons to supplement the tennis practices he was missing at home. Though he had to play with an unfamiliar, borrowed racquet, he enjoyed working with Brendan so much on his first lesson that he didn't even complain about going to the following day's lesson or having to get up early to make the available lesson times. His 10-year-old brother was so enthralled after seeing the end of his brother's first lesson, that he requested to also have lessons the following two days! Brendan was a superb instructor and great with the varying age groups. We look forward to next spring break and hope that Brendan will be there again for the boys to have lessons with. The ladies working in the office were very friendly and helpful as well answering many questions from my inquisitive 10-year-old charge."—T.A., Adv. Int., April 2015

"This is a fantastic resort for both tennis and golf"—M.B., Adv., April 2015

"I have been going to Naples Grand to play tennis for many years. One of the best tennis facilities I have seen. However, the tennis professionals are exceptional. I play with them constantly and the instruction is right on. The tennis shop will set up games with guests of your same ability. I would recommend to anyone that wants to play tennis and enjoy a super vacation spot."—P.M., Adv., April 2015

"The tennis instruction is great! Brendan keeps it fun and interesting. Our group ranged from 3.5 to 4.0 players. You can teach old dogs new tricks! The tennis facilities are clean and the clay courts are very well kept."—C.R., Adv. Int., April 2015

"The Naples Grande Beach Resort has an excellent tennis facility. The courts are kept in top shape, and the pro instructors were great! They coordinated fun but challenging drills each morning, and I received some excellent private instruction. A great family resort, with tennis right there also...I would recommend it to anyone."—J.K., Adv. Int., April 2015

"The morning tennis session was a blast. The drills really helped me with my backhand. I learned to just loosen up and have fun."—D.F., Low Int., April 2015

"We recently returned from our third week of clinics and play at Naples Grande Beach Resort. The facilities are superior and the location close to the beach is very convenient for different activities. The quality of clinics varied through the week, due largely to the skill of the players. Brendan and Chris did their best to divide into groups at about the same level, largely successful, with one day a "miss" for my wife. Brendan's approach of offering specific improvements versus "change your game" was appreciated and spot on. We were able to easily set up competitive matches with other clinic participants every time we wanted to, although not in advance of getting to the resort.

Both were very personable and made every effort to help each member of the group in drills and find drills appropriate for skill level. On an individual basis Chris focused on improving a couple of weaker areas of my game . My wife and I have been to facility twice and had great time both vacations. Like most of nicer resorts it can get pricey ."—S.G., Adv. Int., April 2015

"The Naples Grande is a top well-maintained resort with a fabulous tennis facility - an abundance of har true courts and serious yet very friendly players. Most outstanding, in my opinion, is the tennis staff. They motivate and challenge you to improve your overall game by offering a variety of clinics as well as individual instruction. They "push" you to have fun while improving your game. And you do! Adri is a superior leader and instructor - and you can have any type of tennis experience you want with her and her staff - trust me - it will be awesome:)"—L.R., Adv., March 2015

Plenty of beautiful soft courts, and the tennis pro Brendan who I played with a few weeks ago was exceptional---gave me a few incredibly helpful tips while simply hitting and playing games. I would definitely return there tennis racquet in hand on my next trip. Weather was perfect too."—K.D., Adv. Int., March 2015

"We've been going to the Naples Grande Resort for many years and have always enjoyed the tennis facilities. Under head pro Adri's leadership, things are better than ever! She is a very special pro and has built a great team. For example, we had a series of lessons with Brendan and he was excellent! Every time we go there, we have an enormous amount of fun and we leave with a more complete tennis game.

Two years ago, Adri helped my game tremendously-I have tried to hit top spin for so many years with lots of lessons. Adri's instruction was instrumental in my recent development of topspin. This year, JD has taught me how to hit underspin on my forehand. I would recommend Waldorf Astoria, Naples as the place for tennis lessons in Naples. By far the best!"—K.H., Adv. Int., April 2014

"Needless to say Naples, Fl in itself is a beautiful place. When choosing somewhere to relax with our family and enjoy tennis we choose The Waldorf Astoria in Naples. We considered other resorts but have had many friends and family recommend The Waldrof. We were not at all surprised with the experience there. Several in our family are avid tennis players and hit the courts during our vacation. From the courts being very convenient and very well maintained to the friendly and professional tennis pros. We had lessons with several of the pros during our stay and found them all to be warm, encouraging, refreshing and instructional. Some resorts we have stayed in the pros seem to be burn-out or not as warm and fuzzy. We would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

This is my go-to get-away place -- 4-6 times per year . . . and I always look forward to returning :)"—K.S., Adv. Int., March 2014

"Loved the morning clinics. Great, diverse drills adapted to players levels. Also have Amazing tennis pros for private lessons. They work with your schedule to give you the best expierience. My game improved immensely after just 4 days of lessons with various pros who each had their strengths to teach. The atmosphere was great. The Waldorf was amicable to rate discounts & a beautiful place to stay just a 5 min walk from the hotel on their boardwalk through the mangroves to the beautiful beach. The staff at both facilities was really great & considerate. I would highly recommend PBI at The Waldorf Naples."—B.M., Int., March 2014

"The pro shop fulfills all of your tennis equipment needs, from a decent selection in rackets, which you can actually demo. They have an experienced technician that can restring your racket for your specific needs at a reasonable cost; the only weakness that I saw is that they can add more tennis clothing.
The tennis instructors are PBI professionals, all of them are very kind, patient, and talented and knowledgeable . With the clinics, lessons, leagues, ball machines, tournaments and socials that they offer, tennis enthusiasts have the opportunity to learn and perfect their game.
All of the outdoor courts are in pristine condition. It feels really nice to have a clean stack of folded towels and ice water available next to every court, along with chairs and tables to relax in between games.

"WA Naples Tennis, great vacation, great location with great tennis… While travelling in southwest Florida on business I had decided to book a week at Waldorf Astoria Naples for a little tennis and relaxation. My Spring Break as it were and I was very glad I did so.
I would like to give special recognition to the staff and professionals you have at your tennis facility. Most notably Kadre, who hosts the pro shop and handles all the bookings and sessions of all members and guests for the PBI professional staff under the experienced, competent, and respected leadership of Tennis Director Adri Atkinson. All are great, experienced players, willing to share their knowledge and love of the game to all they come in contact with daily. They have a deep passion for what they do and are able to share that with others…at all levels. That is what I found most rare today and commendable. A great staff and team! Exceptional facilities that are meticulously maintained!!
I was a solo traveler during Spring Break 2013, and they were heavily into their season, which begins October 1 with many bookings and sessions already in place. The tennis staff was great. They provided me games with other guests as well as helped me in one- on- one sessions. There was never a problem and they were very accommodating, always providing rackets, balls, and finding times when I could play. You see I am a Polio survivor with limited mobility. I am an avid tennis fan with limited ability and skills and play strictly recreational. The way Kadre, Adri and PBI staff worked and treated me I truly felt like I was some kind of touring professional. I will never forget that feeling. Thank you so much.
Suffice it to say I had a great stay at a great resort and a great vacation. Many may say they were great and just doing their job and paid to do so. I could not disagree more for I have traveled much in my youth. It does not exist everywhere. What I will say however is yes I met some great people who do a remarkable job but more than that may I dare say made some great new friends.
That is the most special feeling I left with…till we meet again!!"—S.L., Int., April 2013

I am the diehard tennis player in the family and I was very impressed with the tennis vibe at this resort.

My wife and son are intermediate players and they were able to be matched into good competitive games. We all were able to take great groups lessons as well as privates and all of us improved and had fun. I really appreciated the game matching as it gave me the opportunity to me local players as well as other hotel guests. The tennis program really made the hotel seem like a great value. I am already planning our return trip for next Spring. Thank you."—D.D., Adv. Int., April 2013

"Twice I've experienced tennis at the Waldorf Astoria Naples (formerly Naples Grande Resort), once in December 2010 and again in August 2011. On both occasions, I experienced a magnificent but seriously underutilized tennis facility. On my second visit, I was disappointed to find Jacob Hansen, an outstanding teaching pro, no longer present. It seems that insufficient programming impedes this resort's popularity for tennis.
PBI International has been managing the tennis programs here. On both my visits, scheduled activities for groups consisted solely of an adult clinic one hour each morning and mixed doubles once or twice a week. I suspect that tennis aficionados who seek more robust programming select instead other resorts in Florida such as IMG Bollettieri and Saddlebrook (Hopman).
Were I the owner of the Waldorf Astoria Naples (Hilton Hotels), I would prevail upon PBI to program more robust tennis activities here or, failing that, inject some fresh, energetic blood. Such a wonderful tennis facility should attract many more patrons. If it fails to do so, then I fear for its continuing viability."—M.G., Int., January 2012

Tennis Director Mike Manzella Responds: I'm sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. I noticed the first time you visited us was over a year ago and your most recent visit was almost five months ago. You should know that since your last visit PBI has three professionals currently working at the resort that were not present during your last two visits. I would like to personally invite you back as I am confident that all of your expectations will be meet and exceeded.

This year, however, I got courageous and signed all 4 of us up for private tennis lessons. We were all complete novices and had never had a single lesson in tennis. I can't speak highly enough about the wonderful experience we had. Fabio Vasconcellos, the director of the tennis program, is a veritable gem. Not only did he launch my eldest daughter and me into our first experiences in tennis, but he also kept tabs on how my other two daughters were progressing in their own lessons. He was absolutely astute about making sure that we were relaxed, having fun and acquiring the basic building blocks to establish our game. My other two daughters took lessons with Scott and Evan and were equally as pleased. All 4 of us are now returning home excited about continuing tennis and improving our skills. Thank you Fabio, Scott and Evan!"—C.S., Beg., April 2011

"Spent a great week at the Naples Grande with my husband and three young kids. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are spacious, and the service was top notch.
The tennis facilities here are second to none. I took two great private lessons with Evan. He is fantastic teacher and gave me some great tips. I've been playing for a couple years, but have never had much instruction before. Evan really helped me understand the game a lot better. Scott was great with my kids in his junior clinic.
I would highly recommend the Naples Grande to anyone looking for a sweet tennis vacation!"—D.R., Low Int., April 2011

"I have attended Fabio's anual tennis PBI tournament the last 2 years and he does a fabulous job! The tournament is run very well and the food they provide is outstanding! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play a lot of tennis and have a great time!"—M.D., Adv. Int., April 2011

"I am a 4.0 player from the Boston area. I had a very enjoyable stay at the Naples Grande. The tennis instruction from Evan, Fabio, and Scott was 100% world class and definitely learned more than enough to take home. I had a few good matches with fellow guests, also the courts are the best Har-tru i've ever played on. I will be back."—P.S., Adv., April 2011

"Had a 3 day stay there in March 2011 with my non- tennis playing wife and 3 daughters. They had a blast at the pools and the beach (a 5 min shuttle ride or 10 min walk). The resort is upscale and alittle pricey-but you get what you pay for. Breakfasts were excellent. Wife and daughter were very pampered at the spa.
Tennis facility beautiful and well maintained. Had 2 lessons and honestly the instructor raised my level from 3.5 to 4.0. I learned more useful information in 2 private lessons than I ever could have imagined.
Only negative was game matching, which I was very concerned about going to a new (for me) tennis resort. Could not get a match in the 3 days spent there which was disappointing. My suggestion to Fabio would be to have the staff make the extra effort to avoid this. I spent a decent amt of money for a once in a blue moon tennis vacation and it would have been very satisfying to play at least ONE match! Sorry Fabio, otherwise your staff and facilty are terrific. But would I take a chance in the future to return and maybe not play again?? Really, this situation cannot happen.. You should not have to drag along your friends from home so you can play at least one match!!"—B.H., Int., April 2011

"Had 9 great days of tennis instruction and play. Great instruction, great facility that keeps me coming back. A special thanks to Evan Gordon for all of the help he provided to me."—B.Y., Adv., April 2011

"Great tennis program and instruction!"—S.L., Int., April 2011

"I took two excellent lessons with Evan Gordon, as part of the PBI program at the Grande. Evan was a great teacher, and gave me instruction on my forehand that had me hitting with topspin for the first time in many years of trying to change my stroke. I recommend him, the resort and the PBI Program very highly."—P.J., Adv., April 2011

"Excellent staff, very helpful with finding competitive matches."—K.H., Adv. Int., April 2011

"My friends and I have gone twice in the past year and not only is the tennis great but the staff is superb. They really go above and beyond to make us feel wonderful. For us it is very convenient since we are in the east coast of Florida. But from all the resorts this has everything. Beautiful beach, great atmosphere, spacious rooms, great tennis and instructors, great tennis facility...and Naples has the restaurants and casual night life that we enjoy with the upscale service..."—M.T., Adv. Int., March 2011

"Scott and Evan were awesome. Great drills and private instruction. Top notch!!"—N.L., Int., March 2011

"If beach and tennis is what you are looking for, you cannot go wrong with the Naples Grande. 15 immaculate clay courts that see alot of activity. We played one morning at 9:30am and there were 14 courts being played on. The pros are with Peter Burwash International (PBI) so you know the instruction will be superb and the resort first class. Fabio Vasconcellos is the Tennis Director and is one of the best if the "the" best overall professional in the company of PBI. The attention to detail when it comes to anything involved with the tennis program there is unsurpassed. The front desk staff was very good at arranging matches with hotel guests and the strong local membership there. The pools and beach are large enough that you can have some privacy should you want it. The weather in Naples can't miss and it's not too far from the airport. I did not go into the spa, but it is a Golden Door so it should be good. The only thing I could complain about was a bad steak at the "striphouse" restaurant. Awesome place, definately will return. "—J.K., Pro, March 2011

"The best tennis pro ever is running the tennis club here. The whole staff is great. The courts are awesome, the location is beautiful. You can come alone or with a big group and they will help you have an enjoyable tennis vacation. "—A.V., Int., February 2011

"I participated in the PBI Tennis Tournament in January. It was extremely well organized and so-o-o much fun. I met tennis players from all over the world, had great matches and an elegant luncheon. I have also had excellent instruction from the head pro who has taken my game to another level by refining the skills I had; not reinventing my game. "—B.L., Adv. Int., February 2011

"I have taken part in several weekend round robins run by Fabio over a couple of years, and found the experience to be superb. Fabio takes great pains to make sure everyone who participates has a memorable couple of days, ensures we all had good challenging games, while maintaining the illusion that each of us matters very much! The lunches provided are superb, the staff are attentive, thoughtful and endlessly kind and courteous. Since these have been two-day programs only, I have not experienced any other resort facilities."—A.M., Int., February 2011

"We've been to several other tennis resorts, but found the instruction here to be the best of all of them. Very good technical instruction rather than just endless drills and hitting of balls. The Peter Burwash teaching staff is very professional, friendly, and focused on delivering high quality instruction. My volleys improved more in one lesson than they have in the last 2 years with just general practice.

"Daily clinics were available in the mornings which was great since the temperature got very hot very early in the day. The pro, Jacob Hansen, was very patient, encouraging, and fun. He had a lot of experience and gave helpful instruction. Plus, he helped us get set-up with other players there. Courts were in pristine condition. I would highly recommend it."—M.K., Adv.

"The pro here, Jacob Hansen, was an excellent teacher with an easy-going manner. Very good with beginners and advanced alike, and very good with the fundamentals of various strokes. The resort itself has gone dreadfully downhill, since they (the Naples Grande) are catering largely to convention and sales meeting clientele. PBI can, however, be counted on to maintain a high level of teaching."—R.E., Adv. Int., May 2010

"The resort was fantastic. It was the perfect combination of providing a relaxing environment while at the same time offering world class tennis instruction! Jacob was awesome - I learned a lot in three days!"—A.M., Beg., May 2010

"Naples Grande has an excellent tennis program. I took three private lessons with a pro and he improved my stroked tremendously. He simplified everything for me and made it easy to remember and practice on my own. Other instructors complicate things, but not this pro! Thank you!"—M.J., Low Int., May 2010

I took the cardio tennis for the first time with Fabio (who is so great) and it surpassed my expectations. What fun! I also worked with Scott in a clinic and walked way with a new stroke. The instructors here are real professionals who are nice people, fun and know what they are doing. I highly recommend it. The only negative I found on my last visit was that it seemed quite difficult to get on a court. They need to better coordinate spraying courts etc so as not to take away from prime court time availability."—K.G., Adv. Int., April 2010

"Good tennis play and instruction on fifteen courts. The atmosphere was friendly providing nurturing pros with a solid program. Beautiful landscaping and surroundings."—T.M., Int., April 2010

"This is a great resort that I give my highest recommendation. A great strength of the program is its flexibility, offering both group drills and individual instruction packages. When I thought that I would be better served by one-on-one instruction they simply switched me over. They also had an abundance of players available for player matching. I really didn't see much weakness except perhaps their pro-shop could have been bigger, but that's nit-picking. I look forward to returning to this resort."—A.V., Adv., April 2010

"Great tennis facility with an active program and fantastic pros. The resort is very nice, kind of like a Ritz-lite, but it's not the Ritz. Nice beach, pool, and rooms. Very nicely done bar/lounge area."—E.S., Adv. Int., April 2010

"Best tennis facility ever on a vacation. My son and I had a great time playing on the clay courts. Our experience with the staff, particularly head pro Fabio, was outstanding. Played tennis nearly everyday. My USTA Jr son was matched up with area club members and took Jr clinics while we were there. The tennis was the sole fact that made this vacation a winner. Weather was sub-par and if not for the tennis, it would have resulted in a less than great vacation experience. I would highly recommend that if looking to play tennis while on vacation, consider this resort for great family tennis and quality. Thanks again Fabio!"—P.D., Int., March 2010

"I would definitely tell friends to go there. I and three friends went to Naples Grande Resort to play tennis (2 hours with a pro, and then 1 hour of free play) and we had a great time, and fantastic tennis coaching. Our two pros were Jacob & Josh and they were exceptional."—F.V., Int., March 2010

"This club is outstanding!! I would strongly recommend a 5 day program which opens up all the options for one-on-one tennis instruction, clinics, match play, video analysis, and, in general, improving one's game and learning more about tennis. I visited in Spring of 2010 and found that the staff: Fabio, Scott, Jacob and Alex were very welcoming and instructive without being too heavy handed. I learned alot about my strengths and weaknesses and was given excellent instruction for improvement. The facilities are expertly maintained and schedules of play and clinics were managed professionally and with emphasis on having fun and learning - oh yes - every participant got a good workout as well.
I will be going back to this resort again, as often as possible, and can only hope that in future visits the staff is as professional and fun as the guys that hosted my visit this year. Top Notch!!"—T.S., Int., March 2010

"I had an excellent tennis experience at the Naples Grande last week. I took three private lesssons with Scott Teller. He always asked what I wanted to work on, and followed through with a plan we both liked. The lessons were a perfect combination of stroke production and improving my technique. I got a great workout and learned a lot as well!"—E.H., Int., March 2010

"Exceptional instruction by PBI professional Scott Teller. Very easy-going style. Watched about 7-10 "sample" shots then set to work to correct the problem which in the case of my son's backhand took all of 15 minutes. Couldn't be more impressed or pleased. Confidence builder and a really fun experience for our son."—T.H., Low Int., March 2010

"Up & coming tennis program. Being a USTA player wanting more advanced instruction wasn't sure how the mix would be. Found all levels could be accommodated. The staff was flexible in making sure clinics were always worthwhile, challenging and specific to participants wishes. Instruction could be tailored for the advanced player or lower levels. Game matching was also very well done. Will definitely revisit and recommend."—K.B., Adv. Int., March 2010

"I thought the tennis instruction was very good. I picked up some great tips that I think will make a difference in my game. The instructors were very professional and articulate.

Jacob, one of the pros I had a private lesson with, had exceptional skill and was very knowledgeable. Scott, the other pro, was top-notch and helped bring my tennis game to the next level. He made the experience exciting and kept me challenged at the same time. Overall, this was a very memorable and fun vacation, and I wouldn't change a thing about it! I will definitely be back!"—L.R., Adv., March 2010

"Great tennis resort in a location within a great city that wwe like very much… Naples. 15 courts, very well maintained where finding courts to play was never a problem. We didn’t play round robins or took lesson and we didn’t need any matching since we played within our own family all the time… this was a family vacation. But all those services were often offered… The staff, instructors and everyone were very nice people who took good care of the guests.

"We were looking forward to a breif escape from our long New England winter... having been to Naples before we knew it was a sunny & warm destination. Knowing tennis would be our top priority when booking a spot, we knew to look to this website for suggestions. We were happy to see that Fabio Vasconcellos is now director at Grand Naples Resort. We knew him from a prior visit to a PBI resort in Puerto Rico that we enjoyed visiting a few years back.
This trip was far easier - non stop flight to Fort Meyers and 2o minutes later we were at the resort... beautiful setting! We had already planned ahead with Fabio for a couple private lessons to brush up on a few shots. He did a fabulous job explaining then correcting our flawed strokes. The results were immediately put to the test when he arranged competitive mixed doubles matches for us with local players at our level (4.0). We just told him the times we'd like to play and he found good competition each time (3+ per day). Over the weekend he organized a competitive mixer which was fun for all and finished with a luncheon that was an amazing spread. It was delicious. Throughout the resort the staff was so friendly and attentive. We hated to leave... and will be back!"—B.H., Adv., March 2010

"I just came back from a long weekend getaway at Naples Grande Resort and let me tell you that if you like to play tennis or just want to improve parts of your game with private lessons or clinics then this is the place to go. They have about 15 green American clay tennis courts which they keep very very neat, they are excellent in looking for other players at your same level if you want to play a competitive match or just to hit around, also all the staff are very proffesional and treat you like family. Scott or anybody from the staff will gladly play with you if they can't find no one for you to play, but of course that will not happen. I also took one private lesson with Fabio the tennis director and he really focus in teaching you, oh and i almost forgot he could teach you in Portuguese, English or Spanish, it was great. I really really will strongly recomend you Naples Grande Resort. You will have a fantastic vacation."—E.L., Adv. Int., February 2010

"I recently spent five days at the resort. The Director of Tennis, Fabio Vasconcellos, did an excellent job in setting up some doubles games for me on several days with members of the club. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and I had great tennis with players of the same level. The tennis facility, conventiently located right at the hotel, has many courts and there was lots of activity. Would highly recommend resort for tennis enthusiasts of all ages."—R.W., Adv.
