Hotels & Resorts

A resort is a self-contained commercial establishment that tries to provide most of a vacationer's wants, such as food, drink, swimming, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises. The term resort may be used for a hotel property that provides an array of amenities, including entertainment and recreational activities. A hotel is frequently a central feature of a resort. Some resorts are also condominium complexes that are timeshares or owned fractionally or wholly owned condominiums. A resort is not always a commercial establishment operated by a single company, but in the late 20th century, that sort of facility became more common.
