Tennis Anyone? Absolutely, in Puerto Vallarta

Tennis Anyone? Absolutely, in Puerto Vallarta

What made you decide to holiday in a Puerto Vallarta vacation rental? Was it the sparkling clear water of Banderas Bay? The lively beach scene and livelier night life? Was it zip lines, dolphin encounters and snorkel gear? Maybe it was all of the above, and why not? They're all worthy reasons to spend time in this resort city on the bay, but the list leaves out one note-worthy and very important activity tennis.

Puerto Vallarta is considered one of Mexico's finest tennis resort destinations, and no wonder. There are facilities all over town. Do you like hard surface play? They have that. Prefer synthetic grass? Oh, yeah. Is your game better indoors? Then this is your place. Make a phone call or two and reserve a court before you leave your Puerto Vallarta vacation rental then knock yourself out knocking tennis balls over the net.

The following list can help you get started on the perfect tennis court, the one that will let you strut your game as only you can. Many of the facilities are located in resorts, and most of them rent by the hour.
