Top 100 Tennis Resorts & Camps

May 1, 2008. This is the 9th year that Tennis Resorts Online has published a list of top tennis resorts and camps. As usual, we have broken the results down into two large groups: the Top 75 Tennis Resorts and the Top 25 Tennis Camps. Among the resorts, Rancho Valencia Resort in California is the vacationer's choice as the No. 1 spot for a tennis vacation as it was in 2004 and 2005, while a perennial Top 5 camp, Roy Emerson Tennis Holidays in Switzerland, has taken the top spot in that category.
The data for these rankings comes from vacationers like you: people who pay for their holiday and thus have every reason to be objective about the experience. For 2008, Tennis Resorts Online's survey asked players to assess resorts and camps in 20 categories, including all aspects of the tennis experience and such diverse characteristics as the quality of the lodging, restaurants, children's programs,

and value for dollar. Those reviews were used to compile a numerical ranking.
In order to ensure that the results were statistically meaningful, we required a minimum of 25 reviews for a resort to qualify for a Top 10 ranking or for a camp to qualify for one of the top 5 places. All others had to receive at a minimum of 10 reviews over the past year. Resorts also had to have a minimum of six tennis courts. Only reviews associated with a valid email address counted toward the rankings.
For the Top 25 Resorts—our Gold Medal Resorts—we have published the actual numerical rankings. The next 50 on the list have been divided into two groups: our Silver Medal Resorts—those ranked No. 25-50—and our Bronze Medal Resorts—those ranked No. 51-75. Silver and Bronze medal winners are published in alphabetical order. Camps, like the top 25 resorts, are ranked in order of finish.
