Earlier, tourists from Russia trusted their vacationtravel agencies. But now more and more people themselves are organizing their trip to the resorts. Difficulties begin with hotel booking. Among the many different names of hotels are often found such words: "apartment", "boutique", B & B, "guesthouse", "hostel" and "resort". This confuses the search for appropriate housing. Meanwhile, these names have already encoded a specific set of services that a potential hotel guest can count on. For example, B & B means “Bed and Breakfast”, that is, bed and breakfast, in translation. In this case, the hotelier hints 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 shop. Just there, in addition to services for guests, they also took care of the original design of the rooms and buildings. But costing boutique hotels is not cheap. Most often, these five-star hotels are located in historic buildings in the city center or attract well-known architects and landscape designers to build them. And what does the word "resort" mean in the name of the hotel? We will tell about it in our article.
Translation of the word resort
This English term has long beentranscribed into all languages of the world. The word translates as "resort". The British, as you know, are big fans of clubs. Elitism, secrecy from outsiders, a kind of snobbish isolation - is a feature of the national spirit. And a good resort for them, too, must carry the features of an aristocratic club. There, in the opinion of a true Englishman, you can do your favorite sport, have tea and read a newspaper at the right time. In short, as little contact with the Aborigines as possible. Thus, the resort is a kind of reservation for resort visitors, the territory of which you can not leave. It has everything for a good rest.
Resort hotels
We have already figured out what the word means."Resort" in the concept of a true Englishman. But what is the meaning of travel agents in the concept of "resort hotel"? Yes, and in other hotels, even if there is no word “resort” in their name, there is security that does not allow outsiders to roam the territory. But the resort hotel has one feature that distinguishes it 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 are not guided by excursions, and you are aimed only at “seals” rest, you will have no need to go beyond the limits of the resort hotel. There is everything, and even more: food, entertainment, sports, shopping and the like. But resort hotels have their minus. Will you be in Vietnam, Egypt or Thailand - you will not notice any difference.
What are the resort hotels
Отель-резорт - это относительно новое понятие.It appeared relatively recently. But Anglicism has already been adopted by both hotel owners and tour operators sending tourists there. The former meaning of the term has not changed, but it has become overgrown with additional clarifications. So, there are hotels, in the name of which appear the words "beach resort". These are, as a rule, hotels that are on the first line from the sea. But just as often there are hotels near the beach without the name Beach. The words "park" or "garden" in the sign indicate that the hotel has a vast green area. The term SPA is encrypted all your favorite bath services. In this hotel, there are always free saunas, steam hamams and other thermal baths for guests. And for the money you will arrange a relaxing or therapeutic massage, beauty treatments, mud wraps, etc. If the name of the hotel is Aquapark, then it must contain slides and other water activities.
Should a resort hotel be located in a resort?
We will answer immediately:Mostly yes, but not necessary. The main feature of the hotel-resort is an autonomous system of high-grade rest. The hotel has all-inclusive meals, animation for children and adults, a swimming pool, sports facilities, cafes and bars. Therefore, the hotel spa resort can be even in the suburbs - the main thing that it had all the necessary infrastructure. And in the resorts, in addition to resorts, there are other types of hotels. In Southern Europe, condominiums and apartment hotels are quite common. In France, the popular “living d’etap” - small family “ecological” hotels. In the southern resorts of Russia, the private sector slowly became known as a guest house, which is called a guesthouse abroad.
