Hi Kareena,
The difference between what a hotel and a resort offers has to do with the services they provide, their location, and the activities and amenities available on-site.
- A resort is usually spread out over more land compared to a hotel. Considering the extra land, there are more activities for guests to partake in. -Resorts also usually offer more on- and off-site freebies and discounts to guests.
-Although a hotel and resort seem similar, the reasons often differ for why guests choose to stay at one over the other.
-A hotel and resort are quite different in terms of how much land they're on. A resort is typically on a substantial amount of property, so its able to have more rooms available for guests as well as plenty of extra space for features such as a golf course. The extra land is also on or near a more natural environment.A hotel is often on just enough land for the parking lot and the building itself. It's also usually on a main highway so it's easy for guests to have access to activities in the area.
