Activities and Recreation at Caravanserai

Having a large list of things to do isn't necessarily needed to create the perfect vacation. While some will be happier at a hotel that offers non-stop recreational action, others can enjoy themselves with very few recreational choices, or they simply want a relaxing place to stay. Although it doesn't offer the largest assortment of, recreational resort amenities the Caravanserai Beach Resort may have just what you're looking for.

Water and Fitness

Since the hotel has 4 pools to choose from, it's more than likely you'll have no problem finding the perfect spot to lounge, no matter whether you want to spend a lot or just a little time at the pool.

Tennis

This hotel is an especially good choice if tennis is high on your vacation wish list. You shouldn't have difficulty getting a court to use, because the hotel has 98 rooms and 1 court available. That equates to an average of roughly 235 guests sharing each tennis court, which is favorable compared to other hotels in the Caribbean. Guests of the hotel can play evening matches on a lit tennis court. This is a great option for those who would rather spend their day pursuing other activities.

If you are seeking the best vacation spots to play tennis, you might want to investigate Princess Port de Plaisance and Maho Beach Hotel & Casino. These hotels have some of the best tennis amenities in the area, so you might want to weigh those options against this hotel before making a final choice.
