Arizona Biltmore

My son wanted to get a quick workout in while we were in town for the weekend. I found a tennis HitFit lesson online with Brendan at the Arizona Biltmore and emailed to check availability. He was very quick to respond and was able to accommodate us for that afternoon. This was my son’s first time playing on clay courts and he had a blast. Brendan took his time to explain techniques and how to slide correctly on the court. It took some getting used to but my son had a lot of fun once he started getting the hang of it. The drills that Brendan came up with were challenging but also adaptive so you could really get the most out of your workout and tailor the level of difficulty to your needs. The small group size also helped to get a personalized coaching experience; well worth the money spent. He was really great to work with, I wish we had more time so we could have tried out one of the clinics, but overall we would definitely recommend coming here for a good workout/tennis lesson and will look in to coming back if we’re ever in town again!

Highly recommend the Biltmore if you love tennis! The tennis pros, Brendan and Josh, were so welcoming, fun, and gave great tips and clear instruction. The drills/clinics were awesome and it was fun to play on clay courts. I hope to be back soon! Overall, I loved how the Biltmore didn't seem so contrived and fake like other resorts...a genuinely beautiful place to relax, go to the spa and have a perfect weekend!

Our recent stay at the Arizona Biltmore. Our room was a beautiful suite so we really appreciated that. We did a one night staycation and ate at McArther's Restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent. My wine of choice was $26 for one glass which we found to be overly pricey. I ordered the house white wine that was an acceptable price at $15 but found it to be extremely disappointing. It tasted equivalent to a Gallo type wine. When we mentioned to the waitress at the end of the night that we were surprised that a restaurant of that quality would have such a poor quality house wine, she stated that they had hosted a recent event with the house wine and were "trying to get rid of it". It gave me the feeling it had been an opened bottle that sat longer than it should have, and I was the unfortunate customer that ended up with it. We are long time customers (Llifetime Hilton Honor Diamond members) and very loyal to Hilton. We hope this is not a trend for the hotel as we know it recently sold.

Awesome pickleball lesson with Brendan. Brought my game up to new level of playing. Taught me how to top spin forehand! Improved my backhand with adjusting my grip and stance. The slight adjustment he made to my stance at net made a huge improvement in defending at the net. Brendan's coaching was insiteful and positive.

I love the Arizona Biltmore and, even though there are other lovely resorts in the area, the high tennis quality is what draws me back! Second trip hitting with Brendan and he is phenomenal! He hits an amazing warm up feed (which as you know if you take resort lessons is RARE) and quickly figures out what you need. For me, this trip he gave me an excellent push on my backhand slice and backhand volley in a way that I was able to adapt quickly. This is what I needed and wanted! No worries, though, if you're not looking for a super technical lesson - he is totally here for that, too! I'll just add that the last time I hit with him, I took home information that I really put to good use. He's also really pleasant. I will come back and hit with him every chance I get!
