David’s Active Holiday!

David from the operations team at Sports Tours International recently joined us here with his wife. He is very active with interests including running, swimming and the gym.

“I completed 3 marathons in 2024: The Dopey Challenge in Florida which includes a marathon at Walt Disney World, London Marathon and UK based Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. I have more general fitness and wellbeing goals now, working towards some half marathons.”

How did you find the running routes / training spaces at Club La Santa?

“The full-sized running track was really beneficial, it was easy to go for runs outside of the resort around the different landscape. I took part in the Green Team daily run and walk activities – they offer 5k, 4k, 3k runs and a walk and run, so we did 4 of those sessions out of the 6 days we were there. It was a nice start to the morning particularly with the climate.”

How was your experience of socialising with other guests during your stay?

“We initially felt overwhelmed by the scale of the resort but later met many guests during group activities. Some guests knew UK CLS staff members and it’s lovely to see that guests have a good relationship there.”

Were you able to find a balance between being active and having downtime?

“I tried to book as many classes as possible while being able to have some downtime. Yoga and ‘Stretch and Relax’ were the best activities for this but there was a fear of missing out on new experiences. The variety of activities available meant that we were spoilt for choice. The Stretch and Relax class was so relaxing that there was a risk of falling asleep!”

Did you visit the local area outside of the resort?

“I walked into the local village, it was easy to independently explore the island but we wanted to make the most of the resort itself!”

Aisling’s Relaxing Break!

Aisling and her boyfriend spent a week in July at Club La Santa and found plenty to love beyond just sports. They enjoyed a variety of activities and had a fantastic time with the lively entertainment provided at the Green Team show!

What was a stand-out part of your trip to Club La Santa?

“The karaoke was good fun and the entertainment was fantastic, on Monday night they put on a show which was just great! All the Green Team got involved with dance routines which was so fun.”

How did you find the community spirit and making friends at the resort?

“It is definitely easy to make friends. Especially if you were going on your own and you were taking part in activities, it wouldn’t be difficult to make friends. The staff were great at getting everyone involved without being pushy and there was something for everyone – beginners, intermediate, advanced, for most of the sports, so if you wanted to do something just to try it out you could.”

How was your experience there as a couple?

“It was really great! Some of the restaurants had different themes and it was nice to mix it up for some of the nights. If you are into sports together it would be an amazing destination, but you definitely don’t have to be sporty to enjoy everything together! We especially enjoyed the aqua aerobics and padel.”

How did you find the Green Team during your stay?

“They were so nice, even those who weren’t giving the classes, if you were collecting equipment and at the desks they were so helpful and wanted to know who won various activities and how we got on. They went out of their way instead of just saying “Here’s your racket”. The sports facilities were state-of-the-art and the Green Team were so helpful and energetic!”
