Staying in a comfortable, safe, and cozy place is one of the best parts of any trip. There are a variety of stay options, from simple inns to luxurious hotels. Among the possibilities, there is one type that stands out: resorts. Understand what a resort is and how the service offered works

What is a resort?


According to the Brazilian Accommodation Classification System, SBClass, resort is a “hotel with leisure and entertainment infrastructure that provides aesthetic services, physical activities, recreation and interaction with nature in the enterprise itself”.

In other words, resorts are accommodations that offer several benefits to the traveler in one place. They are often equipped with pools, courts, spas, restaurants, and adventure activities. Thus, there is no need to leave the complex to look for fun and tours.

In addition, it should be noted that the establishments are rated according to the number of stars. In the case of resorts, they range from four to five stars.

What is the difference between hotel and resort?

A question that many people ask when planning a trip is: what is the difference between hotel and resort? In the foreground, they are at different levels of identification in the eyes of SBClass, because the hotels range from one to five stars
.

Thus, hotels may be small and simple or even large and luxurious, but they are not considered resorts, since they do not offer all the necessary services to fit the category.

What do you have to do at a resort?

That entertainment is guaranteed “within the four walls” of the resort, it has already become clear, but what, in fact, are the services that you and your family can find in these places?

Each resort has its own infrastructure, however there are some points that are similar to all of them. In addition to swimming pools, courts, games room, green area and relaxation services, resorts have other differentials compared to common hotels, for example:

  • safe; television with subscription channels and minibar in the accommodations;
  • items such as cribs, changing tables and others available in the rooms;
  • gyms, saunas, beauty salons and stores available in
  • facilities;
  • 24-hour reception and messenger service
