Best place for tennis on Kauai! I heard that the pickleball program is also top notch. Well maintained courts in a beautiful setting. Mary does a great job! Her instruction took me to a new level.
I really enjoy playing tennis at Hanalei Bay Resort and look forward to playing every time Catrina and I are fortunate enough to come to Kauai.
The morning clinic is always fun. Mary of course is great with her knowledge and Aloha spirit !!!
On as side note, I think the ratio of tennis courts to pickleball courts is spot on
Hanalei Bay is my favorite place to play!!!! Everyone is so nice and welcoming and Mary is the best pro ever.
Playing tennis at Hanalei Bay Resort has become a favorite and regular activity whenever I visit Kauai. Pro Mary is an excellent coach and I love the all-weather courts. Mahalo!
The facilities at Hanalei Bay Resort are terrific and Mary creates a fun and welcoming environement. I always get great tips to improve my game and she has amazing patience for the less good players like myself. Not only do I learn but it is enjoyable and one of the main reasons we visit every year. Not only does she provide 1:1 coaching but she facilitates group and kids sessions and there is always somethng going on. I’ve learned to book erly as she has a busy schedule! The addition of pickleball is an added plus for the entire family and those that prefer it over tennis.
We love Hanalei Bay Resort and Mary ( the tennis pro ) is fabulous!! She is so professional and personal , improving my game during every lesson and clinic I attend !! My husband and I look forward to seeing Mary each time we visit the resort !
