Having a large list of things to do is not necessary for a memorable vacation. While some vacationers prefer a hotel with a lot of recreational activities available, other hotel guests are perfectly content with very limited recreational amenities, or they just want an attractive, comfortable place to get away from it all. While the hotel doesn't offer the largest assortment of, recreational offerings the Casa Marina Reef may have just what you're looking for.

Water and Fitness

Considering the hotel has 2 pools to choose from, you'll probably have no problem getting the perfect spot to lounge, no matter whether you want to spend a lot or just a little time at the pool.

Tennis

If tennis is a top priority, this hotel is an excellent choice. There are 378 guest rooms and 3 tennis courts. This works out to an average of approximately 302 guests per tennis court, which is not as favorable as some hotels. There will be opportunities to play a match, but during the peak season you may have to find a slow time to use the courts, like when other guests are having breakfast. Guests of the hotel can play evening matches on a lit tennis court. This is a great option for travelers who would rather spend their day pursuing other activities.

Tennis players who are looking for some other hotel choices may want to check out Sunscape Punta Cana Grand and Jack Tar Village Puerto Plata. These hotels have some of the best tennis amenities in the area, so it may be wise to compare them with this hotel before making a reservation.
