'''Resorts''' are a new [[lot assignment|type]] of [[lot]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]''. Resorts are functionally similar to [[hotel]]s from ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' as Sims can also check in and rest for a number of days. A new feature added in this iteration, however, is that players can now own a resort and improve it! Premade resorts exist in [[Isla Paradiso]] but they can be built in any world.
==Checking In==
To use any of the objects on a resort lot, you must check in first.
Sims can do so by using the front desk, a new build mode object added to the game. From there, they can choose between staying in a Standard Tower Room or a Luxury Suite. Standard rooms are generally cheaper, though "turning in for the night" or "getting refreshments" inside will be a simple rabbit hole. Luxury suites, on the other hand, while being considerably more expensive, allow your Sim to stay in a real room in the resort, giving them access to more amenities.
==Owning a Resort==
=== Purchasing a Lot for a Resort ===
Sims can purchase a resort on their phones or computers under the "Real Estate" tab. This interaction will pull up a map of the world and the resorts available for purchase based on current household funds. Purchasing a resort can cost one quite a bit— hundreds of thousands of simoleons, even, and they might not be able to pay those back, so players should make sure to think on it before deciding!
Note that one of the resorts, Hobart's Hideaway is free for the taking, even at the beginning of the game.
Alternatively, the player can select an empty lot or one of the eight [[Hidden island|hidden islands]] in Isla Paradiso to turn into a resort, simply click on the resort's icon in map view to buy the lot, or purchase it at the front desk.

==== Star Ratings and Reviews ====
For a resort to obtain a five-star rating, you need to have a number of objects at your resort. Note that with more objects comes more maintenance, so check your resort finances through the front desk or computer from to time. Depending on how much you can afford, there will be differences in how much you can have but for the best resort, you will need:▼
Sims can check the resort's star rating by selecting ''View Resort Reviews'' from the ''Resort Management'' pie menu.
Obtaining five stars will depend on a number of factors. If the resort is built from scratch, the resort will initially start out with no stars. Pre-built resorts will usually start out with a few stars at the beginning.
*A '''front desk''' so you can run the resort properly.▼
*'''Bedrooms''' for visiting Sims to sleep in. You can either purchase rabbit holes or manually build the bedrooms yourself.▼
Along with the updated star rating,
==== What does a Resort need? ====
▲For a resort to obtain a five-star rating,
▲*'''Bedrooms''' for visiting Sims to sleep in.
*A '''dining area''' for hunger-related needs. This is done with the new buffet table found under "Community Objects" in [[Build Mode]].

*A '''gym'''. Note that only the treadmill and strength trainer count as gym equipment at this point.
*A '''pool area''' of acceptable size. Sims will complain that the pool is too small, so don't make it tiny.
*A '''ballroom''' which involves a Wedding Arch and chairs.
*A '''bar''' for drinks. The bar can be a normal bar, pool bars or a professional bar if
*A '''game room '''may also help guest satisfaction. Try adding arcade machines to give more recreational activities.▼

*'''Recreation''' and other miscellaneous objects. Things include '''hot tubs''', '''deck chairs''', '''drinks stands''' and '''decorative objects'''. (Sims will comment on how much you landscape your resort, so don't ignore it.)▼

▲Obtaining five stars will depend on a number of factors. If you purchased a pre-built resort, you should already begin with a number of stars. If your resort is built from scratch, you will initially start out with no stars. Every day at 7:00 am, your resort will either gain or lose half a star, or remain at the same star level depending on how much customers liked your resort. You can only gain or lose the ''maximum'' of half a star, no matter how much you improve your resort.
Here is a list what you should have to get your Resort to 5-star ranking:
▲Along with the updated star rating, your resort will get a few reviews commenting on what is good (or isn't) about your resort. These reviews come in the form of short sentences, which though brief, get to the point and give you an idea on what you need to improve.

===Finances===
Owning a resort costs
*Workers to manage the amenities at your resort.
*Buffet tables don't magically make food appear. You need to pay upkeep for every buffet table that you own. How much you pay depends on how many tables you have and the quality of the food. Changing the type of food doesn't change
*Hot tubs and pools have costs too. For hot tubs
*Bedrooms will have extra upkeep from the toggling of room services and spa treatments.
