A resort is not a hotel and yet it has everything that a hotel does – and even some. In fact, a resort can be a well-thought-out destination in itself as you can literally find everything you want whether you are on a vacation or wanting to be far from the madding crowd.
Food, drinks, entertainment, activities, adventure, a spa – name it and the resort may have it. Resorts are often described as “self-contained destinations.” Activities tend to depend upon the environment, like in the cases of swimming resorts, resorts tucked away in a tropical setting, or located on a stunning white sand beach.
More often than not, people looking for resorts are not business people or just passing an area for a day or two but rather families who are looking for a place where they can have bonding, companies which treat their employees while having meetings, or people doing a reunion.
Vacationers are more attracted to resorts. “Many people book resorts for the sake of enjoying the experience being offered by that property,” wrote Kylie Morrow for the website, www.beaches.com. “For some, their main reason for booking a vacation in a particular place is to be able to visit a particular resort. The resort becomes a destination on its own.”
