Sandals Grande Ocho Rios also offers excellent courts for tennis enthusiasts.

Four of these courts have classic clay surfaces and the other five have Nova Cushion surfaces. The resort conducts weekly tournaments and has a team of experienced team of instructors and hitting partners. Guests are welcome to use these facilities free of cost other than a charge of $20 per hour for lighting though non-guests may have to pay $30 per hour for court time. You can also go for professional lessons at rates starting from $40 per hour.

The most highly rated tennis courts in Jamaica are located at the Half Moon resort at Montego Bay. Half Moon is home to 13 all-weather Laykold courts, seven of them well lit for nighttime play.

The Ocho Rios’s Sandals Grande, formerly known as Sandals Ocho Rios and Beaches Grand Sport, is another option if you want to play on clay or hard surface courts. This resort offers you three clay and three hard surface courts, all of them equipped for nighttime play. Residents at the resort can make free use of these courts and get pro classes at $30 per hour. They conduct twice-a-day tennis classes for novices and experts in the game. These courts also play host to guest tournaments and twice-daily tennis clinics.
