An extensive selection of active pursuits isn't necessarily something everyone requires to enjoy the perfect tropical vacation. While some travelers would rather stay at a hotel offering numerous recreational activities, other hotel guests are perfectly content with one or two recreational amenities, because they'd rather spend their time relaxing and exploring their surroundings. Even though the hotel does not offer an extensive array of active recreational amenities the One & Only Ocean Club may still match your specifications precisely.

Water and Fitness

As a matter of fact, since there are 2 pools to choose from, it won't be a problem for you to find room at the pool.

Tennis

Tennis enthusiasts will be particularly pleased with this hotel. You probably won't have any problems finding an open court, considering that there are 122 guest rooms and 6 courts. This averages out to merely 49 guests sharing each court, which is a favorable ratio, compared to most other hotels in the Caribbean. Your tennis match doesn't have to end early, since you can play on a lit court. This is a great option for those travelers who want to spend their day pursuing other activities.

It is also worth noting that Zagat's recommends this hotel for its tennis.

If you're a tennis enthusiast you may want to compare this hotel to others that also offer tennis – particularly those hotels which are the most highly rated for tennis. Other hotels worth considering are Atlantis and Nassau Beach Hotel.

Family Activities
