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

• "It’s difficult to describe this experience in a review, as words don’t do it full justice - it is truly exceptional. We have attended Roy and Joy’s tennis weeks four times, and look forward to attending again. We’ve met lifelong friends, experienced top notch instruction, and enjoyed excellent hospitality by Roy, Joy, and all the staff at the Palace. The entire week is curated perfectly - from the format of the tennis instruction, to the various dinners, to the picnic in the mountains. No detail has gone unattended to. Something that only 40+ years of successfully running tennis weeks can bring! Gstaad and the Palace hotel are magical. Having stayed in many of the top locations and hotels around the world, we can confidently say that the Palace ranks inline with the best of the best. The view of the mountains, beautiful spa and rooms, top notch cuisine, and service round out the world class tennis instruction provided throughout the 6 day camp. This includes instruction by Roy himself, along with a team of hand-selected and accomplished pros from around the world who come back year after year. The week can be as intense or as relaxed as you want it to be, but you will most definitely leave with a smile on your face and an improved game - evidenced by the returning guests that we cross paths with every year (many having attended 10+ times, and some at 20+). On our most recent trip, we brought our young son and his grandparents, and while they didn’t participate in the tennis, all had a special time alongside us. I can’t imagine that there is any other experience like this in the world - for tennis enthusiasts, this is the absolute crème de la crème. Roy and Joy, thank you for creating such a magical experience."—J.G., Adv., April 2024

• "Heavenly! We refer to Roy Emerson Tennis Week as Tennis Heaven. My superlative review is not exaggeration. My husband and I have attended Roy's Tennis Week at least 6 times over the past 20 years and each year has been an exquisite experience. Unlike other tennis camps we've heard of where the named tennis pro perhaps makes an appearance once, Roy and Joy are not only present but involved daily with all guests and assure their comfort and enjoyment. Roy's unique sense of humor and encouraging attitude sets the tone for all the pros who could not be more attentive and supportive, making tennis instruction fun day after day, week after week, year after year. The setting is also glorius and the staff at the Palace hotel make you feel at home immediately. We will be returning again later this year and look foward to our week in heaven!"—S.R., Int., April 2024

• "Visits to Gstaad for Roy Emerson Tennis weeks over the 20+ years has provided my wifie and me a pretty good sample of how good and consistent the experiences have been. Each has been different, as everything in the world changes, yet somehow Roy and Joy have provided experiences, tennis, social atmosphere, joyfullness (no pun intended) that leave us feeling afterward like we've just been to Tennis Heaven. They create a magic by the force of their personalities that produces instant comaraderie among guests, and with help of the wonderful pros we all become one family. Certainly the decades of running this camp have also established a style and program that enables us hackers to enjoy the best of instruction in a convivial atmosphere unparalled in my 50+ years of playing tennis."—M.M., Adv. Int., April 2024

• "Roy Emerson Tennis Camp remains “Simply the Best” in all categories including overall tennis experience, expert tennis pros, tennis instruction/programs, social experience, stunning hotel setting, cuisine, spa and amenities. “Second to None” are: Roy and his very experienced and professional team of coaches, the red clay tennis facilities, the world class 5 Star Hotel/Spa accommodations and very friendly staff, the sumptuous hotel cuisine and, of course, the breathtaking mountain views in every direction. The Tennis Camp is the ultimate experience which includes expert instruction and matchups, friendly doubles play and great social activities. Of course, “the Creme De La Creme” is Roy Emerson himself. Roy’s engaging personality, good natured humor and fascinating stories and experiences leaves everyone feeling at ease and “part of the extended tennis family”. Every single day in the 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, myself included, have attended numerous times which remains the best testament yet to this one-of-a-kind experience! My 5th year at the Tennis Camp in 2023 was truly the best yet! As I have said before, once you have participated in this world class tennis experience, you’ll want to return again and again and again . . ."—P.B., Int., April 2024

• "How can it get any better then Roy Emerson giving you personal instruction? Also he’s great teaching staff from all over the world. Five or more hours of tennis on beautiful red clay courts. Fun match play for all levels . Breathtaking mountain setting in Gstaad Switzerland. Outstanding accommodations at a five star luxury hotel , The Palace . Gourmet cuisine with outstanding service. I highly recommend Roy Emerson Tennis Week. Sign me up coach!!!"—B.M., Adv., April 2024

• "We've been going to Emerson Tennis Weeks for over 25 years. We reserve each year as soon as possible because we're always anxious to return. The tennis, the people, the Palace-can't be beat!"—J.L., Int., April 2024

• ""—T.L., Adv. Int., April 2024

• "Emerson Tennis Weeks provide excellent instruction in a 5-star environment. My husband and I have participated for several years (COVID years excluded) and we will be back in 2024. All the pros are excellent and the student: pro ratio is excellent. The accommodations in the Swiss Alps are a treat in themselves. No touch is overlooked. I highly recommend this camp to everyone looking for a once-in-a lifetime experience. The fact that many people return year after year is testimony to the unique experience that Roy and Joy Emerson create. This camp has a 100% focus on adult tennis so if you want pickle ball and children's camps, this may not be your spot. However there is so much to do in the area that family members wouldn't be short of things to do."—D.H., Low Int., April 2024

• "I attended the Roy Emerson Tennis Weeks camp for the first time in 2023. I knew that the Camp had great reviews, but as a Solo attendee, I was unsure what to expect. I was blown away by the quality of the experience! First, the tennis. The staff, led by Roy Emerson, were world class professionals. While there were are variety of player levels present, the campers were arranged and challenged by level. As a 4.0 player, I learned a tremendous amount that I have applied to improving my game at home. The strength of the instruction is the ultimate strength of the Camp. Second, socially, all of the attendees and staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Roy and Joy. Every lunch, dinner, and evening was a blast. I developed lasting friendships in such a short period of time. Third, the Gstaad Palace was incomparable. I travel extensively, and it was probably the best overall resort that I have ever been to. The setting in the Alps, the rooms, the amazing food, the Spa, but mostly the friendly and unpretentious staff made for a wonderful experience. I consider myself lucky that I will be able to attend again this year!"—P.K., Adv. Int., April 2024

• "Attending the Roy Emerson Tennis Camp at Gstaad Palace was the most amazing experience of my life. As a lifetime tennis player I spent the week developing my game from the best tennis pros in the world. I was continuously challenged to up my game all the while making new friends on and off the court during the many fantastic dinners or activities put on by the camp. The setting at Gstaad palace is also unparalleled, the food, lodging, and amenities are all world class. Roy and Joy Emerson run a fabulous tennis camp and make every session more special and memorable than the last. I cannot wait to go back!"—E.M., Adv., April 2024

• "My adult son and I went to the Roy Emerson Tennis Camp in Gstaad, Switzerland and could not have been happier with the experience. We played about five hours a day, receiving expert instruction each and every session. After our time on the courts, Roy and Joy arranged fantastic group dinners, unforgettable excursions and one-of-a-kind experiences like getting a tour of the hotel’s kitchen and wine cellar. This week was truly a trip of a lifetime and my son and I will remember it as one of the most special things we have done together. Roy and Joy work extremely hard to make sure everyone is playing at their level, get the instruction they need, and make sure everyone is comfortable and having a fabulous time. We can’t wait to return again this year."—L.M., Int., April 2024

• "Roy Emerson‘s Tennis Camp in Gstaad is absolutely fabulous!"—F.T., Low Int., April 2024
