Earlier, tourists from Russia entrusted their holidays to travel agencies. But now more and more people themselves are organizing their trip to the resorts. Difficulties begin with booking a hotel. Among the many diverse names of hotels, such words are often found: “apart”, “boutique”, B & B, “guesthouse”, “hostel” and “resort”. This confuses the search for suitable housing. Meanwhile, a certain set of services that a potential hotel guest can count on is already encoded in these names. For example, B & B means "Bed and Breakfast", that is, in translation, bed and breakfast. In this case, the hotelier is hinting that you should not count on more. The hotel, in the name of which the word "boutique" appears, is not at all a part-time expensive store. Just there, in addition to services for guests, they also took care of the original design of rooms and buildings. But boutique hotels are expensive. Most often, these five-star hotels are located in historic buildings in the city center or attract famous architects and landscape designers to build them. And what does the word “resort” mean in the name of the hotel? We will talk about this in our article.
Translation of resort
This English term has long been transcribed into all languages of the world. The word itself translates as "resort." The British, as you know, are great lovers of clubs. Elitism, isolation from outsiders, a kind of snobbish isolation - this is a chip of the national spirit. And a good resort for them, too, should carry the features of an aristocratic club. There, according to a true Englishman, you can do your favorite sport, drink tea and read the newspaper in due time. In a word, as few contacts with aborigines as possible. Thus, the resort is a kind of reservation for holidaymakers, the territory of which can not be left. It has everything for a good rest.
Resorts
We have already figured out what the word “resort” means in the concept of a true Englishman. But what is the point of travel agents in the concept of "resort hotel"? Yes, in other hotels, even if the name “resort” is not in their name, there is a guard that does not allow outsiders to roam the territory. But the resort hotel has one feature that sets it apart from other types of housing. And this is his self-sufficiency. If you are not interested in acquaintance with a culture alien to you, you hate excursions, and you are aimed only at "seals", you will not need to go beyond the resort hotel. Everything is there, and even more: food, entertainment, sports, shopping and the like. But resort hotels have their own minus. Whether you are in Vietnam, Egypt or Thailand, you will not notice any difference.
What are the resort hotels
Hotel resort is a relatively new concept. It appeared relatively recently. But Englishism has already been adopted by both hoteliers and tour operators sending holidaymakers there. The previous meaning of the term has not changed, but has “acquired” additional clarifications. So, there are hotels in the name of which the words "beach resort" appear. These are, as a rule, hotels located on the first line from the sea. But just as often near the beach there are hotels without the name Beach. The words "park" or "garden" in the sign indicate that the hotel has a vast landscaped area. The term SPA encrypted your favorite bathing services. In this hotel, there are always free saunas, steam hammams and other baths for guests. And for the money you will have a relaxing or therapeutic massage session, cosmetology procedures, mud wraps, etc. If the name of the hotel means Aquapark, then it must include slides and other water activities.
Should a resort hotel be located in a resort?
We will answer right away: mostly yes, but this is not necessary. The main distinguishing feature of the resort hotel is an autonomous system of good rest. The hotel has all-inclusive meals, animation for children and adults, a swimming pool, sports facilities, cafes and bars. Therefore, the SPA resort hotel can be located even in the suburbs - the main thing is that it has all the necessary infrastructure. And in resorts, in addition to resorts, there are other types of hotels. Condominiums and apartment hotels are very common in southern Europe. In France, the popular "Zhit d'Etap" - small family "environmental" hotels. In the southern resorts of Russia, the private sector slowly began to be called differently - a guest house, which is called a guesthouse abroad.
