Tennis Programs
Except over major winter holidays like Thanksgiving and Easter,
when the resort's touring pro John Lloyd conducts special sessions or Christmas,
when former world No. 1 Stan Smith does, the menu at the Phoenician Tennis
Garden consists mainly of private lessons and a daily clinic supplemented
by junior programs during the major winter holidays. Finding a game, on the
other hand, is easy as the staff can draw on a stable of 120 locals.
