Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at Sapphire Beach Resort

A wide variety of recreational activities is not needed to create the perfect vacation. While some travelers would be happier staying at a hotel with a lot of recreational activities available, others are perfectly happy with a small selection of recreational amenities, because they'd rather spend their time relaxing and exploring their surroundings. Despite the fact that this hotel doesn't offer a very extensive array of extracurricular activities the Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina may still match your specifications precisely.

Water and Fitness

While each vacationer has their own agenda, you'll find all kinds of activities and attractions in the Virgin Islands. A trip to the hotel's pool may not be one of your top priorities, although it can be a nice way to have some fun in the sun.

Tennis

If tennis is a top priority, this hotel is an excellent choice. The hotel has 216 rooms and 1 tennis court. This equates to an average of approximately 518 guests for each tennis court, which is not as favorable as some hotels in the area. There will be opportunities to play a match, but during the high tourism season you may have to wait for a time when the courts aren't crowded, like when most other guests are getting ready for dinner. Guests of the hotel can play evening matches on a lit tennis court. This is ideal for those travelers who would rather spend their afternoon enjoying other activities.

Tennis players who are looking for some other hotel choices may want to check out Carambola Beach Resort and Westin Resort, St. John. These hotels offer some of the area's best tennis amenities, so you might want to take a minute to consider these other options before making a final decision.
