Resorts are hotels or motels located in popular vacation areas that offer recreational activities associated to or in addition to attractions in the area. Usually they are reffered to as luxury accomidation with the extra benefits that you recieve. A resort may provide golf, horseback riding, tennis, skiing, tours, social activities, unique dining, or day trips. It may also provide special activities for seniors, such as; bingo, craft classes, light exercise sessions, and other social activities.

Resorts offer deluxe and luxury rooms with a wide range of prices. Usually, rooms with a scenic view and more space would be higher priced. Dude ranches, ski resorts, casino hotels, and health resorts are examples of specialized resorts that offer great hotel accommodations. Beaches and mountains are commonly the choices for resorts; however, rural areas may be equally attractive for country tours of farms and dude ranch experiences. They may be chains or individually owned. Some resorts are open only “in season,” but many resorts are open year-round with indoor pools and big-name entertainment.

Resorts offer package deals which vary in price at different times of the year. Warm resort areas usually cost more from November through March. Many ski resorts charge their highest rates during the winter season. The best rates are offered by resorts during off-peak season (slow business times during the year). Major airlines may work with resorts to offer travelers package deals that include the price of the flight and the hotel.
