What is a resort? 🏝️🏨
A resort is an accommodation property or destination that combines lodging with leisure, recreation or other guest facilities and services. Resorts can be located by beaches, in mountains, countryside or other destinations and may include restaurants, pools, sports, wellness facilities, tours or organised activities.
Resorts and other accommodation
Hospitality categories can overlap. Some resorts also operate as hotels, while other properties may be better described as guesthouses, retreat centres or eco-lodges. The description provided by the property and its actual operating model are more useful than assumptions based only on location or facilities.
