'''Resorts''' are a new type of [[lot]] introduced in [[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]. Resorts are similar to clubs from [[The Sims 3: Late Night]], but one can consider it as more dynamic as there is a lot more customization than simply adding objects to increase lot value.▼

==Checking In==
Sims can simply check in using the front desk. From there, they can choose between staying in the Standard Tower Room or the Luxury Suite. Standard rooms are generally cheaper, although Sims has to stay in the resort rabbit hole. Luxury suites can be considerably more expensive, although the rooms will usually contains more amenities. Sims that own the resort can enjoy resort amenities for free, however.

==Improving a Resort==
▲To begin your journey to obtaining the best resort in town, first you will need to have a resort. To do this, Sims can use their mobile phone (smartphone if [[The Sims 3: University Life|University]] is installed) or computer and use the "Real Estate" option to purchase a resort. Alternatively, Sims can click on the icon of the resort they would like to buy and purchase it directly. Sims can also build a resort from the ground up, and note that c<span style="font-size:13px;">urrently and officially, only the town of [[Isla Paradiso]] has pre-built resorts.</span>
A resort can be improved in a number of ways.

For a resort to obtain a five-star rating,
*'''Bedrooms''' for visiting Sims to sleep in.
▲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 time 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:
▲*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.
*A '''dining area''' for hunger-related needs. This is done with the new buffet table found under "Community Objects" in [[Build Mode]].
Line 22 ⟶ 27:
*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.)▼

===Star Rating===
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 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 many customers liked your resort. You can only gain or lose the ''maximum'' of half a star, no matter how much you improve your resort.▼
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.
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.
*Hot tubs and pools have costs too. For hot tubs, this depends on how hot
*Bedrooms will have extra upkeep from the toggling of room services and spa treatments.
