Here's what others have had to say about Gstaad Palace/Roy Emerson Tennis Weeks and Roy Emerson Tennis Weeks.

• ""—A.B., Adv., March 2023

• "My husband and I have gone to Roy's camp twice and are now making it an annual event. It is that good! I'm a novice player and was first concerned it might overwhelm me, but Roy is expert in matching players with other players of similar skill level, while still mixing it up enough to offer good variety. He attracts world-class pros and has a maximum four students per pro for all of the sessions. Roy is on the court all day first providing an overview of the stroke to be worked on that day, then staying courtside to offer advice and good natured ribbing. Roy's wife Joy organizes every detail and quickly fixes any problem you may have. The resort is luxurious and a manageable size. Several excursions are included, as well as all meals. If you want to treat yourself to an extraordinary experience, by all means go to this camp!"—D.H., Low Int., March 2023

• "The word I would use to describe the Roy Emerson Tennis Camp is…perfection! I have had the pleasure of enjoying a glorious week in Switzerland for 5 years and hope to make it another 5. I have researched other tennis camps/vacations but none compare to this one. Roy is such a wonderful host/storyteller and instructor. His team of pros is top notch and the 1:4 ratio of pros/players is fantastic. The beauty of the surrounding mountains and the old world charm of the Palace Hotel cannot be beat. I look forward to another week of improving my tennis game, meeting new friends and enjoying delicious food in the magical setting of Gstaad."—L.K., Adv. Int., March 2023

• "This program offers exceptional tennis in a magical setting with spectacular views of the alps, outstanding instruction from the legendary Roy Emerson and his talented coaches, and an international group of motivated players excited to share in the experience. Roy begins each morning with a demonstration on fundamentals including the forehand, the backhand, the serve, the return, the volley, the overhead, his lessons interspersed with delightful stories from past tournaments. I’ve recorded them on my phone and look at them before my matches for inspiration and guidance. The players are divided into small groups to work on skills and for match play. A delicious three-course gourmet lunch is served by waiters in tuxedos. More tennis drills in the afternoons as well as doubles play. There is some free time to enjoy the pool and spa, or to walk into the charming Swiss town of Gstaad for some shopping. Dinner is another gastronomical delight. Since most guests return year after year it’s sometimes difficult to secure a reservation. Don’t hesitate to come if you’re fortunate enough to be offered a spot."—P.M., Adv. Int., March 2023

• "We’ve attended Roy’s program for over 25 years and wouldn’t miss it. It’s the highlight of our year."—J.L., Int., March 2023

• "tennis on clay courts that are outstanding in an area of Switzerland that is beautiful and with the excellent city of Gstaad and of the high end Swiss city features and beauty. The Palace Hotel is a family run Hotel that is very highly regarded by Europeans and is open in the summer and then re-opens in the winter. They have an exceptional Italian Work Staff"—T.L., Adv. Int., March 2023

• ""—B.M., Adv., March 2023

• "This is a perfect place to improve your tennis. The analysis and the follow up instructions can and will make your game better. I emphasize the teaching is excellent/superb. More important for me it is fun. If you are having a good time you will learn more and this is an opportunity to learn and have good time."—S.E., Int., March 2023

• "This is the best experience ever!! My husband and I are going again this year (2023). Roy and Joy are the best -- real people. Roy is on court teaching the whole time and is great at matching up players. Can't be beat for a wonderful time and wonderful memories."—A.E., Int., March 2023

• "I seriously rate Roy Emerson Tennis Camp as “simply the best” in every category including overall tennis experience, tennis pros, instruction/programs, social experience, hotel setting, cuisine, spa and amenities. I could not be more impressed with Roy and his very experienced and professional team of coaches, the red clay tennis facilities, the 5 Star Hotel/Spa accommodations and very friendly staff, the excellent hotel cuisine and, of course, the amazing mountain views in all directions. The Tennis Camp is a wonderful experience which includes expert instruction, friendly doubles play and great social activities. Roy’s engaging personality, good natured humor and fascinating stories and experiences leaves everyone feeling at ease and “part of the extended tennis family”. Everyday in a week at the Tennis Camp is an absolute delight, leaving you with great memories, some new found friends and with plans to return. Many of the Camp participants have attended numerous times which is the best testament to this one-of-a-kind experience. In fact 2023 will be my 5th year at the Tennis Camp. Once you have participated in this world class tennis experience, you’ll want to return again and again and again."—P.B., Int., March 2023

• ""Pitiful". "Lack of interest". Insults? Not at all! Just some good-natured ribbing from Roy! It's almost a shame if you don't hear it at some point during the week! If you are looking for the best tennis holiday in the world, you have found the right place. I have attended for five years and am already booked for summer 2023. Every single part of the experience is off the charts. It all starts with Roy and Joy. Having a chance to listen to and learn from Roy is incomparable. Joy is busy behind the scenes making sure every last detail is attended to, all questions get answered and everyone is made to feel right at home. Roy brings in a top-notch staff of experienced pros from around the world. It's really helpful to get feedback from different coaches. All of the coaches have found a way to balance teaching moments with a whole lot of fun. The setting for all this tennis is the world class Palace hotel. Absolutely beautiful place, delicious food and exceptional service by the accommodating staff. There isn't a single thing I would change except wishing I could spend my entire summer in Gstaad and participate in every camp that Roy and Joy offer!"—C.S., Low Int., March 2023

• "This is "tennis heaven"! Your superlatives listed above in the rankings are all accurate for Tennis Week as well as the Palace Hotel. We have attended Weeks for many years and each year is always exquisite. We are greeted by hotel staff as family, Roy and Joy as hosts are present, involved daily and cannot be more gracious (we've heard that other camps are "in name only" for the lack of named pro on site or participating at all). The tennis instruction is pesonalized and meets each participant at their level, whatever that level may be. We tell all our friends about Tennis Weeks and this past year I sent a photo of the Palace Hotel tennis courts/spa/Alps locale with the caption: "This is why we keep coming back here!" While many participants are "repeaters", Roy and his team always make a newcomer feel part of the family from day 1. I cannot recommend it more highly!"—S.R., Int., March 2023
