A resort is more than just a place to rest your head after a long day of exploring. They tend to offer a variety of amenities that go beyond the standard hotel, from luxurious spas and gourmet restaurants to recreational activities like golf courses and water sports. Unlike hotels, which primarily focus on providing a comfortable place to sleep, resorts aim to provide an all-encompassing getaway.
I like to think of a hotel as a place to stay, but a resort as a destination in itself. Resorts are often self-contained, providing all a guest’s wants, such as entertainment, dining, lodging, sports activities, and shopping on the premises. There’s often very little reason to leave a resort, other than for local sightseeing.
Think of hotels as the cool, secluded boutique with a swanky rooftop bar, while resorts are the adventurous, all-inclusive older sibling who always has something fun planned. Hotels tend to be more focused on providing a comfortable place to sleep with some added amenities, whereas resorts offer a range of activities, from water sports to yoga classes to keep you busy during the day.
Resorts go beyond just being accommodations; they’re lively destinations in themselves. They tend to be larger than hotels, occupying a sprawling space and usually located in scenic or natural areas. Think beachfront villas lining the Caribbean coast or treetop bungalows deep in the forest. Whereas hotels tend to be located in city centers or nearby main attractions, aimed at providing a base for travelers to explore outside the hotel grounds.
Ultimately, the decision to invest in an all-inclusive vacation is dependent on personal preferences and priorities – but for those who crave a stress-free and indulgent escape, it just might be the perfect fit.
