Tennis Fashion Fix

Situated in Indian Wells , Renaissance Esmeralda Indian Wells Resort & Spa is a family-friendly resort in the desert and close to Indian Wells Tennis Garden , making it a popular choice among the tennis players and fans travelling to the desert for the BNP Paribas Open. We stayed there during one of our visits to the toournament and thought we'd show you the resort through the lens of our camera. All photos by MegiMK. More after the jump.

Our headquarters for the US Open adventure was the Walldorf Astoria , one of the tournament host properties. The Tennis Channel Flag was proudly flying outside our window. Definitely a constant reminder of the main purpose of the trip. The hotel itself couldn't be more lovely. I could spend hours telling you how beautiful it was so just have a look by yourselves.

 Here are a few shots of Midtown Manhattan I took last week while visiting the city for the US Open . Grand Central Station

Since it's already August and flight from Toronto to Huatulco resume in about two months  from now, I thought I'd recycle the review of one of my favourite tennis resorts in Mexico in case anyone is looking for some tennis trip ideas. The Huatulco area is very peaceful, focused heavily on eco-tourism, with just a handful of hotels. Las Brisas Huatulco features 3 beaches open for swimming. Unlike in Puerto Vallarta or Cancun, there are no beach vendors anywhere in sight so you're guaranteed to be able to relax while soaking in the sun. Also, you won't meet any timeshare representatives at the airport. Photos (c) MegiMK What more do you need for a perfect vacation? You say tennis courts? Las Brisas Huatulco has you covered!
