Activities and Recreation at Le Gran Courlan

An elaborate menu of recreational amenities isn't necessarily necessary for a memorable vacation. While some travelers would prefer a hotel that offers non-stop recreational action, others can be happy with a small selection of active recreational options, because all they really care about is having a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Although this hotel doesn't offer the largest assortment of, recreational activities the Le Grand Courlan Spa Resort may have everything you need in a vacation retreat.

Water and Fitness

With so many ways to spend your days, going to the hotel's pool may not be a top priority, but this can be a relaxing way to spend the day. Whether you decide to lazily soak up some sun at the poolside, or take a few laps, there will be many opportunities for you to enjoy the hotel's swimming pool.

Even during their vacation, a lot of travelers consider their health to be an important issue. Vacationers can follow their routine exercise plan because there is exercise equipment available.

Tennis

The hotel offers tennis, but it hasn't received high ratings for this amenity. You probably won't wait long for a court, since there are 78 guest rooms sharing 2 courts. That equates to an average of roughly 94 guests per tennis court, which is a favorable ratio, compared to most other hotels in the area. A lit court is not available, so if you want to play it will have to be during the day time,

Golf

Although the Le Grand Courlan Spa Resort does not have a golf course, it may be possible to arrange for a tee time at a local course if you are hoping to play a round or two during your vacation.

Watersports

Although there aren't many watersports available at this hotel, there are vendors in other locations in Trinidad and Tobago. All it takes is a few phone calls, and you can schedule some great activities, using the services of one of these providers.
