The Caribbean’s mix of warm, sunny weather and top-notch resorts can please even the most avid tennis player. However, playing in the scorching sun in Bermuda or against strong winds in Aruba could ruin your practice, so you may want to be a bit discerning in your choice of venue, no matter how good your backhand is. Fortunately, there are plenty of great resorts in the Caribbean where you can play tennis on beautiful courts or even take classes or enroll in special programs offered by the facilities.
