An elaborate menu of recreational amenities is not on the agenda for every traveler. While some vacationers would be happier staying at a hotel with many different activities available, others are content with very few recreational choices, because all they really care about is having a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Despite the fact that it doesn't offer an extensive array of recreational offerings the Southern Palms Beach Club may have what everything you really care about.
Water and Fitness
Considering there are 2 pools at the hotel, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a prime poolside location where you can lounge about, no matter whether you want to spend a lot or just a little time at the pool.
Tennis
This hotel is an excellent choice if you plan on making tennis a big part of your trip. You probably won't have any problems finding an open court, because the hotel has 92 rooms and 2 courts. This averages out to roughly 110 guests per court, which is a favorable ratio, compared to most other hotels in the region. The hotel offers the option of playing on a lit court, so you can play into the evening hours. This is perfect for those who would rather spend the daylight hours exploring, or lounging on the beach.

A couple of other hotels that may be worth considering include Sam Lord's Castle Resort as well as Sandy Lane.
