AYURVEDIC HEALTH RESORT, AMBOLI
“A resort hotel is not transit stop but DESTINATION.”
INTRODUCTION
Resort is a place to spent holiday for relaxation and recreation so that, one can give dynamism to their
leisure time. Oxford dictionary defines resort as place that is frequented for holidays or recreation
or for a particular purpose. One can go and swim in resort, can have lunch, can go just to pass time,
plan an overnight stay and lit campfire, artist can complete their portrait, novelist can finish novel, a poet
can create his poem and tourist can have charming stay there. A resort can function as a conference
centre, as a meeting centre, as a banquette, as a restaurant, as a health club and various other
functions. A resort could be day serving and night serving, and it provides the cuisine service. According
to the new definition, a resort is a full-service lodging facility that provides access to or offers a range
of amenities and recreation facilities to emphasize a leisure experience. Resorts serve as the primary
provider of the guest’s experience, often provide services for business and meetings, and are
characteristically located in vacation-oriented settings.
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.
The characteristic of resort is that it combines a hotel and a variety of recreations; it serves food, drink,
lodging, sports, entertainment, relaxation such as spa and shopping. Generally, hotels located inside resorts
are known as resort hotels. On the other hand, people specifically frequent resorts for relaxation or for
recreation.
The purpose of staying in a resort is entirely different; people who want to spend their vacation or holidays
with their family in a particular city or a particular country are likely to stay in a holiday resort. Holiday
resort is a self-contained resort that attempts to provide most of its clients wants while remaining with them
including entertainment, sports, relaxation and shopping and tour arrangements; some even facilitate with
shopping and tour guides. People prefer to stay for a long period of time in resorts. Resorts are located in the
midst of natural and picturesque surroundings.
A hotel is a place that offers you lodgings and meals. Persons who travel from one place to another place
with a purpose will book into hotels. The purpose of their travel may be to attend a conference, a function, a
wedding, or an official meeting or even it can be a vacation.
Persons who are unable to spend the night at their home are likely to spend the night in a hotel room. They
may or may not stay with their families. This is because of the fact that they are away from home for that
matter.
