Is there a good place for tennis vacation during Christmas New Year time? Something like an all inclusive resort with tennis courts and maybe a coach around?

I really liked the Nosara area of Costa Rica when I was there a few years ago. There is a club there that has lodging (see link), my family just found an Airbnb though. The rainy season will be over and the beaches are great. When I was there they had two clay courts in the middle of town as well. The only thing is you'll probably have to rent a 4WD car to get to Nosara (roads were bad) which adds some expense. Edit found the other courts.

never been to an all inclusive tennis resort, but i have been to barcelona... tennis is ubiquitous...
i scheduled hitting lessons in the am for a couple hours, then did the touristy thing the rest of the days,
then took breaks when was too tired, went drinking, slept late, etc...
that said, my days of playing 4-6h/d are long gone...

I definitely can't play more than 2 hrs a day with all the eating and drinking in a vacation mode....
side note, if you go to barcelona, i visited quite a few places, and took "local roads" via scooter... takes longer, but fun daredevil way to see the city

which club? am planning a trip..
famous ones i visited: sanchez, brugera (far - but pretty drive on a scooter! [edit] appears to be closed now), a few more near my hotel
- playing here was the highlight of my trip (as far as tennis destinations): https://www.rctb1899.es/
- met a member (~low4.0?), i basically gave a couple lessons for free, but got to play at an exclusive club
- he was a beast... i had to rest quite a bit hitting with him... hit big & heavy... had to rest every 20m or so because his spin was so heavy
- back then he travelled to me, used to work at sanchez, and pointed out the popular often less used courts in the area
- (not sure if he's still in barca... originally he's from germany)
lol here are my tennis notes from that trip:
- don't forget to visit camp nou... messi not there anymore, but IMO a must to visit a european football stadium/game if you have a chance... even a blow out game... and make sure to position yourself on the goal side of the weaker team for the 2nd half (when i went barca scored 3 in the 2nd half - folk get tired, etc...)
