'''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,
==Checking In==
To use any of the objects on a resort lot, you must check in first.
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 have to stay in the resort rabbit hole. Luxury suites can be considerably more expensive, although the rooms will usually contain more amenities. Sims that own the resort can enjoy resort amenities for free, however.▼

=== 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 ====
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.▼
Every day at 7:00 am, the resort will either gain or lose half a star, or remain at the same star level depending on how many customers liked the resort. Resorts can only gain or lose the ''maximum'' of half a star, no matter how much one improves the resort.▼
Along with the updated star rating, the resort will get a few reviews commenting on what is good (or isn't) about the resort. These reviews come in the form of short sentences, which though brief, get to the point and gives one an idea on what the resort needs to improve.▼
==== What does a Resort need? ====
For a resort to obtain a five-star rating, one would need to have a number of objects at the resort. Note that with more objects comes more maintenance, so check the 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:

===Finances===
Owning a resort costs money, not just from purchasing new objects and improving existing ones but also through maintenance. Ideally, the resort payout should be higher than maintenance costs so profit is being made, but if it isn't one might want to consider the following:
