Mouratoglou Tennis Academy

I really enjoyed being in this Academy! There are tens of courts with different surfaces; big enough gym with all needed equipment; pool; good lockers and vip area. Lovely atmosphere!

Great experience. Went there with a friend for a weekend tennis session in march. There are around 34 tennis courts. I was put in the right group by giving information about how long I have played and how often. You should bring warm training clothes if not during summer. My trainer was Nabil and he was nice and gave me some suggestions about improvement. I chose a 4 hour session a day and we had 1 hour warming up before the session (total 5 hours).

The good: Good facilities/well maintained clay courts. Fitness sessions were great with a lot of emphasis on tennis focused exercises and stretching/ recovery. The yoga class on one of the days was a nice added recovery session. Coaches are really kind and generally giving good feedback in real time. The bad: No access to pool(s) or any resort/ academy resources, like gym/ sauna/ other scheduled activities. Lunch included in the intensive full day week is very low quality cafeteria food (no healthy options), no local French items on the menu, no drinks included (other than drinking fountain water), very limited vegetarian options. The group tennis session are low intensity, no quick review of technique (the assumption is that you have a forehand/ backhand/ volley/ and serve), some occasional correction/ feedback, lots of waiting if more than 3 players in a group. Lots of ‘games’, few short drills, and generally covering only few elements in a day. For example we did not have a single volley/ approach/ smash until day 4, and no serves at all on day 1-2. No slices, period. Low intensity drills. Overall the tennis was a let down and I am not sure my tennis improved by a margin by the end of the week. A shout out to one of the coaches Sylwia Majewska for really working hard with me to improve my technique in the afternoon sessions. The strategy/ mental sessions while somewhat interesting were not as useful from my perspective as an adult recreational player. Overall, considering price/ amount of tennis played and quality of tennis sessions, I would likely not be back.

Sorry, this review is too late, we went there several months ago, but until now, we still miss everything we experienced here, the fantasy resort, complete tennis training facilities, Kevin from the marketing department gave us a very good communication, and We met some friends. My son said it was the best place he has ever been to. There is also some tennis court experience given by Patrick, which my son used repeatedly in the matches very effective. Hope to go there next time.

Disappointing Organization at a Great Facility The Mouratoglou Academy offers an impressive setting with top-quality courts, but unfortunately, our experience there was marked by poor organization and a lack of professionalism. We had a court booked for Saturday, May 17th at 10:00 AM. When we arrived, the reception area was quite disorganized. No clear welcome, no proper check-in process—just confusion. We were told to go to Court 6, but when we got there, it was locked. We waited, unsure of what to do, losing time we had paid for. After returning to the reception, the staff member seemed overwhelmed and explained she was alone and couldn’t manage everything by herself. Instead of resolving the issue, she asked us to walk around and find a free court ourselves. That was honestly the most surprising part—being left to figure things out at a facility of this level. We pushed back and eventually were offered a temporary hard court, which wasn’t suitable for us due to lack of proper gear. While heading there, the staff member ran after us and finally directed us to an available clay court—Court 10. The whole process took too long, was confusing, and felt very unprofessional. We had also contacted the academy weeks before our trip to request a private lesson. Despite several follow-ups, we never received any clear response. We were told repeatedly that someone would get back to us. That never happened. Overall, the academy has amazing potential. The courts and the environment are excellent. But if the internal communication and basic booking processes are not improved, experiences like ours will continue. A place like this should be known for its professionalism.

PROS Took some private adult lessons. Good feedback and structure. Friendly staff from the front desk to the shop and coaches. Peaceful location in one of the most beautiful regions in the world. World class facilities somewhat close to beautiful Nice/Cannes. CONS Too expensive for what it is (150 euro per lesson), particularly if you consider other top academies in nearby countries.

Sad Experience We were truly looking forward to playing at the Patrick Mouratoglou Academy on Saturday, May 17th at 10:00 AM. Unfortunately, our experience turned out to be quite disappointing. Upon arrival, the reception area was very chaotic. We were not welcomed in a friendly or professional manner, and after checking our booking, we were told to go to Court 6. When we got there, the court was locked and completely inaccessible. We waited another ten minutes—while our scheduled court time was already running—but nothing happened. We returned to the reception to explain the situation. The staff member seemed unsure what to do and told us to “try and find a free court among the 30 courts ourselves.” This felt completely unprofessional, especially since we had a confirmed booking for a specific court. When we expressed our frustration, she mentioned several times that she was working alone and didn’t have enough staff to help or manage the situation properly. While we sympathize with her, this kind of disorganization is not what one expects from such a high-profile tennis academy. Eventually, she told us we could go to a hard court for a few minutes, but we didn’t have the right equipment. As we were heading there, she came running and said Court 10 had opened up, so we ended up playing there—well into our reserved time. To be fair, the academy is visually stunning and the courts are excellent. But the way things are managed, especially in terms of communication and customer service, is shockingly poor. We had already written to the academy several times in April, trying to book a private lesson. Each time we were told that someone would get back to us. No one ever did. In the end, we spent three weeks on the Côte d’Azur with the goal of training several times at the Mouratoglou Academy. We managed to play just once—and even that began with total disorganization. My husband, a professional athlete, took the morning off to play with me, and it turned into a chaotic and frustrating experience. Great location, beautiful courts—but sadly, extremely poor management and communication.

I’ve been to the Mouratoglou Academy three times, and while the coaches are great, the organization is honestly a joke. This time, my dad and sister had to cancel the trip last minute, but my dad still had to pay the full amount for all of us, which was fine. Since everything was already paid for, I asked the academy if I could use my dad’s full-day session instead of my half-day one, especially because only one person (me) was actually playing. They told me it wasn’t possible because the booking was “nominated,” which made no sense, especially given that the spot was already paid and otherwise unused. They also refused to give me the food that was included in the full-day package — even though one person was playing instead of three. I didn’t have cash on me at the moment, so they literally just took the food away. As someone who has been here multiple times, I’m extremely disappointed by the inflexibility and poor customer service. The coaches are fantastic, but the management feels careless and borderline scammy.
