TEA, STRAWBERRIES AND STEAMBOATS AT THE CAMERON HIGHLANDS RESORT

This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We may receive a small commission when you make a purchase using our link.

The Cameron Highlands is an easy 3 hour bus journey from Kuala Lumpur. Known for its beautiful rolling hills, cooler temperatures, and wonderful tea plantations, the Cameron Highlands is a wonderful change of pace from Kuala Lumpur.

When I started researching hotels to stay at during my trip, I quickly realised that the Cameron Highlands Resort was easily the best hotel option. I’m excited to share some of the things that made my stay at the Cameron Highlands Resort so memorable!

The Cameron Highlands Resort is steeped in history and fully embraces the feel of the Cameron Highlands. Built as an extension from a 1930’s cottage, the resort has a very unique colonial feel, with some of the architecture dating all the way back to 1070!

The hotel feels like you are in a very luxurious yet welcoming colonial home, complete with a shared fireplace (where you can enjoy a fire lighting ceremony if it is a special occasion), wood flooring, and beautiful white shutters.

Each of the Resort’s 56 rooms and suites perfectly captures the colonial yet comfortable feel shown in the lobby.

I stayed in a Deluxe room, which is perfect for a couple with its king sized four-poster bed, spacious seating area, and private balcony overlooking the neighbouring golf course (note all rooms have a balcony).

I was so content to make a cup of tea, which was provided in the room, and sit on the balcony reading my book. It was truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur , and was such a relaxing experience to simply breathe in the cool mountain air while looking at the rolling hills in the distance.

Cameron Highlands Activities

If you want a more active experience, the Cameron Highlands Resort has you covered as well. They can help organise all sorts of tours and fun things to do around the Cameron Highlands .

Jim Thompson Mystery Trail

The Resort organises complimentary walking trail tours, where an experienced resident naturalist explains all about the plants, animals, and extensive history of the area. I did the “ Jim Thompson Mystery Trail ” on my first morning, which was a leisurely 45 minute beginner hike through the jungle with our amazing guide Madi.

During our walk Madi made sure to point out several interesting facts, including background information on Jim Thompson who the walk was named after.

Boh Tea Plantation

The next day we were treated to a half day tour with Madi. This tour explored farther from the hotel and included a visit to the Boh tea plantation .

The tea plantation is absolutely massive and includes a look into how the tea is made, from growing, to refining, to drinking. There is a great little restaurant on a balcony overlooking the tea fields, and Madi expertly showed us some of the lesser known vantage points to take some incredible pictures from!

Strawberry Farm and Temples

The rest of our day included a visit to a strawberry farm, where we were given a pair of scissors and a basket to go and pick our own strawberries. These were some of the best tasting strawberries I’ve ever had, straight from the vine!

Finally, we also visited Sam Poh Temple, which is the oldest Buddhist temple in the area. Madi was providing funny stories throughout the entire tour, making the day even more enjoyable!

And if that doesn’t fill your time in the highlands read my post 12 Things To Do In The Cameron Highlands .

The Spa At The Cameron Highlands Resort

After a long day of sightseeing, one of my favourite things to do is relax in the spa. As you would expect from a luxury hotel, the Spa Village at the Cameron Highlands Resort was one of a kind!

I was treated to a “Fresh Strawberry Escapade” experience in their Spa Village, which was truly one of the most unique spa treatments I’ve ever had.

Strawberries are extremely important in the Cameron Highlands, with countless strawberry farms and products, so this “Escapade” involved a tea and strawberry bath, a 1 hour massage, and strawberry scrub wrap which soothes inflammation and softens the skin.

Seriously, if you have never had a relaxing massage and then been covered in strawberries you need to experience it at least once in your life!

The Spa Village offers a wide range of other treatments as well. From traditional massages, to rose petal facials, to other amazing experiences offered only at the Cameron Highlands Resort (like a Chrysanthemum & Avocado Escape or a “Cameron’s Mint” treatment), the Spa Village is the perfect way to relax after a long day with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating areas to chill out.

The Cameron Highlands Resort has a good number of in-house  dining options , each with its own character matching its unique location.

I started my day each morning with breakfast at the traditional Dining Room restaurant, which offered a combination of made to order dishes and a self-served buffet. The dining room overlooked the neighbouring golf course and mountains in the distance, and was the perfect setting to plan out my day.

I also had dinner one night in the Dining Room, which transforms into a smart casual restaurant with an excellent selection of colonial, western, and local foods.

Each day the culinary team would go out and get the freshest ingredients, and this attention to detail really pays off because the food was all excellent. Be sure to save room for dessert, because there were some delicious choices, and as we all know calories don’t count on vacation!

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is another important part of the Cameron Highlands, and the Cameron Highlands Resort organised a perfect one in their Jim Thompson Tea Room. The beautifully furnished Tea Room offers a place to sit and relax while enjoying a wide range of pastries, sandwiches, and strawberries with your cup of tea.

This experience reminded me of being back in England, and I really felt miles away from the heat and craziness of the city. A delicious lunch is also served daily in the same Tea Room, which is a perfect spot to kick back and relax while having some traditional dishes.

Steamboat Dinner

Finally, no Cameron Highlands trip is complete without a proper “Steamboat” dinner experience. Luckily you will not have to venture far to find the best Steamboat in the Cameron Highlands, because the Resort has one in their very own “Gonbei” restaurant.

For the unacquainted, a Steamboat dinner involves a pot of boiling soup with different flavors, where you cook your meat and vegetables yourself tableside.

Situated near the guest rooms in the back of the hotel, Gonbei is a half outdoor seating area which lets you fully appreciate the cool night air while eating your meal.

The manager of the restaurant was exceptionally nice, making recommendations on the best combinations of food and explaining how the process worked, from picking our boiling base to adding the right amount of meat and vegetables.

It’s difficult for me to pick my best meal at the Cameron Highlands Resort , but I would have to lean towards Gonbei because the food was not only incredible, but the entire experience was so much fun and memorable!

The Cameron Highlands Resort is the premier resort in the Cameron Highlands, and after my stay, it is easy to see why they have earned their stellar reputation. The setting and amenities are beautiful, the food is outstanding, the activities very well organised, and the customer service is always fast and friendly.

Next time you find yourself in Malaysia, make sure to take a trip to the Cameron Highlands and experience the Cameron Highlands Resort firsthand!

Writing the Perfect Destination Review

As a follow up to her earlier guest article…..

“ Writing The Perfect Lodging Review “,

…well-known professional travel writer and Uptake Lodging Editor Nancy D. Brown takes a break from her perpetual traveling to share with us more of her sage advice on writing travel reviews.

Here are her tips on writing that perfect destination review :

Set the Hook – Draw the Reader In

“As the train pulled into the station, it appeared strangely quiet in Bordeaux, France. Grabbing our backpacks, we walked into town to secure lodging for the night. After numerous rejections from French pensions, we turned our attention toward food. Certainly we could find a room at an Inn serving local wine country cuisine, right?”

The above paragraph is from an article I wrote for Diablo magazine about how food relates to travel .

The introduction to the article is an example of a nut graf ; which is editorial slang for defining the news value in a story. The descriptive lede ( yes, more journalism speak ) is meant to draw the reader into the story . Ideally, your lede should paint a picture for the reader; draw them in and, set the hook, so to speak.

This is a much better approach to writing a vacation destination review than, “Our train stopped in Bordeaux, France. We went to look for lodging. We couldn’t find any restaurants that were open.”

Vacation Destination as Service Piece

Service pieces, such as “Insider Tips” or “Things to See and Do” for specific travel destinations, are meant as informational articles for the reader. Similar to writing a lodging review, it is vital to include the five Ws : Who, What, When, Where, Why ( and, whenever possible, how much ) as those are the typical questions a reader needs answered before determining their vacation destination.

• “The first place I take a visitor from out of town is to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, amazing trails right in downtown with views of mountain ranges, and the waters of Cook Inlet, and along the trail Earthquake Park.”
• “When I crave a local brewpub I turn to Glacier BrewHouse, FireTap Alehouse or Snow Goose Restaurant, where I can dine on local favorites like the fresh catch of the day, a wood-fired pizza, and wash it all down with a local microbrew.”
• “To escape work I head for the trails the wind through Anchorage Parks and greenbelts for a run, a bike, or a quick cross-country ski.”

The above “Insider Tips” were taken from a post I wrote on the “ Best Things to See and Do in Anchorage, Alaska “, for my “ What a Trip ” blog.

Convention & Visitor Bureaus and PR Professionals as Partners

As a public relations professional and travel writer, I work both sides of the media fence. As a PR pro, part of my job is to provide information about my clients to members of the media. As a working journalist, I LOVE working with professional PR folks.

As Lisa Gerber of Big Leap Creative says in her article Why I Fired A Travel Writer , “You have an editor and/or a readership that you answer to, and I have a client that I answer to. Mutual understanding of our respective business models gets us so much more out of life.”

In fact, many of my “Insider Tips” columns are written in conjunction with public relations pros and Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB) PRs. It is mutually beneficial to understand how to work with travel writers and bloggers and PR pros .

Position Yourself as a Vacation Destination Review Expert

Case in point, I was asked by the Chicago Tribune to write a service piece on “ How to Watch the Iditarod Sled Dog Race ” while visiting Alaska. The travel editor found me online through one of the many vacation destination reviews I had written about Alaska.

I had successfully positioned myself as an expert in the field.

Be a Destination Review Expert in Your Backyard

If you are new to travel writing or travel blogging, I strongly suggest you toil in your own vineyard, initially. After all, who is more qualified to write a vacation destination review on your hometown? Establish yourself as a local expert , write a column for your local newspaper and then venture outside the box to wider ranging vacation destination venues.

Select Your Travel Writing Style

Your travel writing style will depend on the publication or editorial outlet where your vacation destination review will appear.

In newspapers and magazine, articles are typically written in third person. Quotes from outside sources are important to bring credibility and differing perspectives to your article.

First person perspective is more commonly found when writing for travel blogs. Entire vacation destination reviews are often written from the travel blogger’s point of view.

What type of travel writing speaks to you? Select some of your favorite travel writers and publications and craft your vacation destination reviews in a similar fashion.

Eventually, you will find your own voice and writing style that fits your personality.

Great tips, Nancy!

Thanks, Christy. What are your tips on writing the Perfect Destination Review?

I think you pretty much covered the main points. I like how you pointed out how the first paragraph needs to draw the reader into the story. This point is often overlooked by writers, but it’s definitely worth the time and effort.

Since it is important to me personally, I also include if a place is kid-friendly (and how), and about the disability access. Not everyone wants to know this, but many people do.

Great article!

Great points, Jessie! A lot of folks would also be interested in pet-friendly destinations.

Hi Nancy: I like this post. It is like Travel Writing 101, brief but concise.

As a journalist, I can’t emphasize the need for a nut graf – as it functions like a thesis statement. It keeps your writing focused and tight.

Thanks for tips, especially for 5 Ws.

Great tips and very useful. It sounds pretty much like writing news when providing information. Tricky part is keeping your write up lively and enticing to the readers.

Thanks for the positive feed back everyone!

Thanks for such wonderful tips! I dont have a travel site but I think this could be used in any type of copy. Wonderful post.

Based on your trip experience, you may want to praise or tear apart the hotel location where you stayed. Knowing how to write hotel reviews will help you give an unbiased consumer opinion that may help others make well-informed travel decisions in regards to their lodging accommodations.

• Give advice to the travelers such as providing details that you wish you would have known before you went on the trip.
• Give information about the property that can't be found on the website. Tell if there are a restaurant or two right next door, so meals were relatively inexpensive, or share that it was in a secluded location and you could only eat at the expensive hotel restaurant.

Expert Q&A

• Try to answer in the review what you would do differently if you were to stay at that hotel again. Tell if you would ask for a room far from the indoor pool because the noise was too loud at night, or share that you would have remembered to bring your own shampoo because the establishment doesn't supply those amenities to help keep their costs down for the guests.

8 Tips for Writing Hotel Reviews that Editors Want

Posted March 20th, 2020 by Margot Bigg & filed under Travel Writing .

Writing hotel reviews isn’t as straightforward as it might seem. While it’s easy to write a few words about what you do and don’t like about a place, professional reviews require you to go a lot deeper, while keeping the prose engaging and fresh. Whether you’re new to hotel reviewing or just looking to refine your writing, consider these eight tips for writing a hotel review that will sparkle. 

1. Read reviews and talk to guests.

Writing a hotel review is a service to potential visitors, and your experience staying at a property is one of many. It’s a great idea to read online consumer reviews about the hotel you’re writing about as well as talk to guests while you’re there. Other people may notice things that you haven’t, and taking others’ experiences and opinions into consideration will help you pen a well-rounded piece.

2. Watch your language.

If your hotel review sounds like a PR speech, your readers are going to have a hard time trusting you. Avoid using flowery prose or terminology that sounds like it came straight from a brochure. Instead, speak to your readers the way you would to a friend. On the same token, try more casual terms (think “room service” instead of “in-room dining”). 

3. Answer the question: Why should I stay here?

If you’ve gone through the trouble to write a hotel review and a website or publication has gone through the trouble to publish it, chances are you think it’s worth staying in. Your readers will want to know why. Is there something standout about the rooms? Is the location fantastic? Is the free breakfast buffet an attraction unto itself? Let your readers know! 

4. Don’t leave out the facilities.

Hotels are more than just blocks of rooms, and it’s important to highlight the facilities. While you might not be much of a gym rat, some of your readers will be, so at least have a look to see if the gym is more than a couple of old kettlebells and a broken elliptical in the basement. While you might be a vacationer, many people use reviews to find properties for events and meetings: find out about that wedding chapel and meeting rooms. And don’t forget to try the food! Meal options can really make or break some guests’ hotel experiences. 

5. Create a scene.

Part of being a good reviewer is helping your readers picture themselves in the hotel you’re reviewing. Use your five senses, describing and evoking the scents, sounds, and sights of the hotel. Are the windows kept open, allowing a breeze to come in? Are most guests wearing suits and huddled around laptops? Is the smell of coffee permeating the air? Is there music piped in, or maybe someone playing a piano? Show us, your readers, the whole picture. 

6. Tell us something we don’t know.

While it’s pretty easy to garner a basic idea about a hotel by simply spending a few minutes on its website, the real gems usually come from people who have already stayed in the property. Go beyond the facts and tell your readers something special about the hotel. Maybe it’s housed in a converted farmhouse or perhaps there’s a trusty hotel pet that greets guests in the lobby. Use anecdotes to engage your readers. 

7. Tell us about the area around the hotel.

Don’t forget to tell readers about the area around the hotel. Basic location info is good (for example, if the property is near the airport, guests will want to know). Additionally, remember to also show your readers what to expect of the neighborhood. Is it quiet or lively? Walkable? Safe? 

8. Don’t be afraid of your voice.

Finally, don’t be afraid to use your voice. While you’ll want to follow the basic conventions of your publication, it’s great to let your own unique voice shine through. It will breathe life into your piece and make it more fun to read.

How To Write A Review About A Hotel, Tour, Or Trip You’ve Taken

• MEET THE TEAM
• PRIVACY POLICY
• TERMS OF USE

We bet that when you choose a hotel to stay in, even for a few days, you automatically open the reviews section to make sure the place is sound.

Online reviews are beneficial for travelers and property owners as well. Tourists get information that helps them in the decision-making process. Owners can understand what they do well and what they have to improve. By writing a good review after your trip or tour, you would support other tourists. If you are not sure whether you can write a good review in English, apply for a professional writing service . Skilled writers would gladly edit or write for you any text from scratch for an affordable price.

If you need some ultimate advice on writing a good review about a hotel or a trip, read the text below.

Summarize clearly

Keep your review informative and laconic. Consider that you are not sharing your impressions but giving facts and arguments. Each point you enclose must be approved. Do not be too dramatic or emotional even if there was something terrible in terms of the trip. When you write a review, you need to stay detached and summarize the essentials. Your review must help people understand if it is worth attending the same trip or staying at the same hotel.

Share useful hacks

Try to give your audience valuable details from your experience. For example, if you experienced excellent service from a particular person, provide his or her name. If you know a great coffee place or restaurant nearby, you can share the name and address, etc. Share the positive experiences as well as the negative ones to be objective.

Add photos you took

By enclosing good quality pictures you made with your smartphone or professional camera, you would make your review sufficiently brighter. Let people understand your points better by highlighting the main peculiarities of the location or experience with good pictures. The general rule for images you select for a review is to keep them detailed. For example, people would not be interested in your selfies; you had better show them the architecture and interiors of the hotel.

Do not hesitate to review

You should do your best to write the review quickly; at least you can start by recalling all the trip details. Moreover, people are likely to read about someone’s recent experiences rather than about something that happened years ago. Besides, the modern world changes super-fast. And the information you provide about a location or a hotel might be subject to change as well. If you want to make a review valuable and meaningful, we recommend proceeding with writing immediately during the trip by taking notes.

Edit your text

If you want your review to be accurate and valuable, take care of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. You would require reading the text at least once and take away repeated words, mistypes, etc. It would help if you used some of the online tools that help with grammar and punctuation proofreading.

We hope this advice is helpful. We wish you good luck!

How to write a review for a hotel - Simple Way

How to write a review for a hotel? This is an important question to ask as reviews are more important than ever in our daily life nowadays. Therefore, we would want to write the best review possible to help others make the right decisions.

Published: jul 27, 2023 • 4 min read

How to write the Hotel Review

Firstly, let's take a look at some tips on how to write the review and what your wording should be like.

Write simple and to-the-point

There are many factors you can write about when it comes to hotel reviews. We will get into these factors shortly, but you must take into consideration that you should not write a lot about each factor of the hotel, like food, amenities, location, services, and … as your review will become a course paper.

Many people want to have an overview of the hotel's good and bad aspects and would not want to check everything in detail, especially if everything was normal. That is why in our free browser extension, RatePunk , we have added a section as Word Cloud, where we give the user an overview of the amenities of the hotel with color ratings. The word cloud section is based on true reviews and can give the user an accurate overview of the hotel amenities.

Be balanced and honest

There is a big chance you are writing the review as something negative has happened during your stay. In my opinion, negative reviews are very encouraged as they can give a good perspective to the user on what to watch out for, and I appreciate them.

However, people tend to forget about all the good conditions of the hotel when they are mad about something. Being mad and frustrated can influence your writing and can make it way harsher than it should be.

Therefore, it is important to always try to be balanced and completely honest in your reviews to give others the best advice and not just trash the hotel.

From where do you book your hotels? You should check the new booking system with the cheapest rates here.

Avoid inappropriate language

Much related to the previous point, avoid using inappropriate words and comments when writing the review. The review, which is written with proper words and sentences, is way more acceptable to people compared to the ones that are written inappropriately.

Use a star rating

For sure, this will depend on where you are writing the review, as not all platforms provide such an opportunity. However, nowadays, many of the review platform and hotel websites let you choose a star rating for the hotel you are reviewing, which is a great way to summarize all your experience for the reader. So make sure to include that!

What to Include in the Hotel Review

Facilities and amenities.

Obviously, when it comes to hotels, readers want to know about the facilities and amenities of the hotel. 

Always facilities and amenities of the hotel are listed on the website and the hotel page, so it is not necessary to point them out. Instead, try to write about your experience using those facilities and their positive/negative aspects.

Staff and Service

One can argue that the staff and service provided by the hotel are even more important than the facilities, and for many people is. 

It is always expected that the Staff provides good service for the customers as hotels are a part of the hospitality industry, so personally, I think it is important to point out clearly about this matter. Make sure to include all the negative aspects of the service in your review, if any.

Dining options

Personally, I like the hotel breakfasts a lot! and I would use the RatePunk word cloud to understand the quality of the breakfast.

It is safe to say many people care about the food, so it is a big help to write about the dining options of the restaurant. 

Value for Money

Value of money is becoming a more important a topic in hotel reviews daily by day. It even has a star rating on many hotel platforms.

I see it as a great overview to know if people staying at that hotel felt that their money was well spent or not. It can tell you whether the hotel is too expensive for its service or it is just right! 

For it to be easier for you, consider the facilities, service, location, and overall comfort.

Blue Hotel and Resort Review Essay

Introduction.

The name of this business is Blue Hotel and Resort. The business is hotel-based but targets local and international tourists who are coming into the country all year round. The business will mostly be aimed at taking advantage and promoting local tourism, which has not been very much exploited because investors and the government have been concentrating on international tourists.

Type of Business

The business will be a partnership because it requires a large amount of capital which will be contributed by the partners. Investors will be included as partial owners of the business. A large amount of capital will be used to rent business premises at different localities and towns suited for local and international tourists’ attraction sites across the country, development of these apartments to suit the requirements and standards, and equipping of these hotels with necessities to carry out the business. The business will start by managing at least ten hotels at different places best-considered tourists sites across the country. Plans will include buying land and building hotel apartments to be owned by the hotel. This will enable a shift from rental to individually owned apartments.

Services and Products

The hotel will take care of all or most of the tourist’s needs while in the apartment and will provide food, beverages, snacks, and drinks for sale. Different services will include entertainment, gym, and sanitary services. The business services will include room rental services for local and international tourists taking long-term or short-term holidays. Transport services for both goods and people will also be available through business-owned vehicles. In addition, informational systems such as the internet will be made available to the tourists once in the apartments to connect with their businesses and families. All these services will be paid for separately according to the usage by the individual. Tourists shall also be assisted to access various services such as those offered by the government officials and goods according to their requests for the necessary possible arrangements. The business services and products will thus be made as affordable and known to the locals as possible as compared to the competitors’. In addition, the products and services will be modified over time to suit the locals as well as ensure a diversity of products and services to suit the international tourists.

Role of Accounting and the accounting staff

The role of accounting in this business is important since it will ensure that careful planning of the available investment funds is possible. Careful planning will ensure that the business not only achieves its goals and objectives but that these goals and objectives are practically aligned to the excelling of the business through the making of profits. Accounting will ensure that funds are allocated in the most optimal way to gain optimal profits and reduce and eliminate chances of incurring losses through the reduction and management of risks involved in the hotel business.

Transparency of any business is important and therefore accounting will ensure that financial account details are prepared and reported to the business owners to take appropriate action relating to the actual financial position of the business.

Accounting staff needs to be people who are competent enough in the accounting field to understand and implement practical accounting methods in the hotel business. Experience in the field would also be desirable to speed the process and cut on cost, minimize chances of errors, and have confidence. Practitioners will also be required to be of high professional and personal integrity as well as knowledgeable in internal control techniques (Internal Controls, n.d.).

Budgeting, internal controls and management, and work characteristics for the business staff

Any person entering a business should have a professional level of budgeting, internal controls, and cash management before entering business since the excellence of any business will partly be determined by these components. Professional budgeting and cash management will ensure that the businessman allocates properly the available resources to various components of the business to maximize profits while minimizing the expenses. Internal control systems are important in mitigating against risks, threats, and vulnerability of the business, and managers need to be aware of the systems that are important in safeguarding the business assets against losses, compliance with the laws, recording and accounting of revenues and expenditures, and maintenance of the accounting records among other issues (Internal Controls, n.d.). In addition to making sure that the staff are competent, supportive attitudes by managers towards the internal controls, identification of the logical and applicable and reasonable control objectives and adoption of effective and efficient control techniques, there will be clear documentation of all events and activities in accounting and transactions, separation of duties of staff and access and accountability to resources in the business (Internal Controls, n.d.). Investment in the hotel industry would be expected to face such risks like fear for domestic and international terrorism, which means that security for the people is important. The hotel shall invest in intelligent services up to capability or work with the government to minimize risks related to security. Managers will review financial information provided by the accounting staff and use it to estimate future results of current investment plans as well as make appropriate adjustments, make future investment decisions in the growing sectors of the business, estimate future financial positions as well as control excessive expenditure. Accounting will ensure the identification of challenges to achieving the goals and objectives and making sure that the organization’s funds are properly allocated to counter these challenges.

Essay on Resort Hotels

Introduction

The hotel and hospitality industry is an essential sector that contributes largely to the GDP of many countries across the world. The high number of customers in the industry has attracted many investors from different parts (Lee & Yuan, 2017). The hospitality industry is primarily characterized by services such as lodging, food, and drinks. The industry is broad with categories such as resort hotels, suburban hotels, airport hotels, and full services hotels, among others. An analysis of the industry is vital to understand various issues within the hospitality industry (Ibrahim, 2018). The paper seeks to examine resort hotels and relevant information that encompass the specific category in the hospitality industry.

Resort Hotels Description

A resort hotel is a full-service facility meant to provide the needs of vacationers, including drinks, food, and lodging services. Most hotel resorts are located in places that are frequently visited for their unique environment (Lee & Yuan, 2017). Resort hotels provide recreational facilities and other amenities, which are usually a need for many vacationers. In essence, the market segment targeted by resort hotels is primarily composed of tourists from different parts of the world. Local tourists within the resort facility also contribute significantly to the market segment that is targeted by the category (Ibrahim, 2018). The market segment is characterized by high profits, especially from foreign tourists. Equally, vacationers spend a specified time at the resort facility, which makes it necessary to have rooms for lodging services. Customer needs in the market segment are different but well known to all operators in the market. It is important to note that the market segment requires a high level of ethical standards and professionalism (Köşker, Unur & Gursoy, 2019). As such, resort hotels offer self-contained facilities to vacationers from different parts of the world.

Information on Resort Hotels in Canada

Business in the Canadian hospitality industry has been increasing in the last few years, indicating success in the market. In the year 2014, the hotel industry was valued at approximately 17 billion Canadian dollars. In the previous five years, resort hotel revenue in the industry has been increasing majorly due to the high level of international tourism (Lee & Yuan, 2017). By then, there were over 8000 hotel facilities spread in Canada. The level of occupancy in the facilities is approximately 63%, which is indicative of the increased business activity as compared to a decade ago. The industry has the potential to do better, given that international tourism activities have been increasing lately. The Canadian hospitality industry has employed over 100000 people, especially in the resort hotel category. Most operators in the market are equipped with high-end facilities that can attract many people. By the end of 2020, the number of rooms available for lodging is expected to rise, given the high investment rates being witnessed in the industry (Altin, Memili & Sönmez, 2017). The occupancy rate in the resort hotels is expected to increase, given the strategies that many operators have put in place.

Resort Hotels in Ontario

There are many resorts in Ontario that meet the needs of vacationers at different prices. It is important to note that pricing strategy in the industry is based on services provided in the event. It is vital to find out the room categories available for each and their respective rates (Köşker, Unur & Gursoy, 2019). Resorts all over the world are recognized with sports and entertainment activities for vacationers. It is vital to understand recreational facilities that each of the ten hotels provides for clients.

Worry about your grades? See how we can help you with our essay writing service. LEARN MORE The listed resort hotels offer sports and entertainment facilities to their customers. Pool games and television sets are the primary source of entertainment for vacationers. Equally, some resorts listed have golf as a common sport.

The role of a hotel manager excites me due to the responsibilities that are attached. I have a strong passion for leading by example, as a professional in the industry. In the future, I would like to work as a manager in a bid to ensure that issues that affect customers are handled in the right manner. The desire to serve with honesty and diligence drives me to work hard with the hope of making it.

In conclusion, the hospitality industry is growing at a faster rate, especially within the Canadian market. Resort hotels are self-contained with facilities that can meet the needs of most vacationers. However, the increased levels of international tourism provide a chance for the industry to develop even more.

Describe your stay at a resort – Sample answers & more

Generally speaking, getting a job with hotels and beach resorts isn’t the most difficult task in the world. Most of these places struggle with staff , and if you show some motivation, and readiness to accept the employment conditions (which in many big resorts means doing long shifts, or having no days off in the main holiday season), they will hire you. However, the game changes when it comes to luxury resorts and five star places. Expectations are higher, you will earn more, and often many applicants compete for each vacancy. In this scenario, the hiring managers can choose. They often come up with creative questions , and one of them is “Describe your stay at a resort”.

Perhaps you’ve never stayed at one –and that’s a big hit to your chances of succeeding in the interview. But more likely than not you’ve already stayed at some resorts, either while working or vacationing , or perhaps both :). The hiring managers wonder what caught your eye , whether you noticed both good and bad things, areas for improvement. Needless to say, you should adjust your answer the position you apply for with a resort . If it is a job of a hotel manager or team leader, try to describe things from managerial perspective. When applying for a job of a maid, you should say what you liked and didn’t in the room, the cleanliness of the place. And if you apply for a job of a cook, food should be your main discussion point.

Anyway, let’s have a look at 7 sample answers to this interesting question. I tried to include on my list a variety of answers for a variety of situations . I hope at least one of them will fit your interview scenario, and the kind of experience you hope to share. Once you are done with the sample answers, do not forget to check also my final thoughts below the list. Enjoy!

7 sample answers to “Describe your stay at a resort” interview question

• I would describe it as pleasing in general. The place was well-managed , with great attention to detail . Staff had clear instructions, and they acted accordingly. Of course, I couldn’t help the manager inside me , and noticed some areas for improvement. For example, during breakfast I would assign more people to the dining room, since many times the staff didn’t manage to replenish the buffet tables. Or I would change the duration of the automatic lights on the corridors , since for older people they simply switched off too quickly, and sometimes they ended up stranded in the dark. To sum it up, my stay at the resort was great, but you can always improve something , and should strive for improvement, if you want to stay at the top of your game.
• I would describe my stay at ABC resort as an average experience . Rooms were great and so was the beach, but as a cook with high standards, I could not approve the food. The selection was pretty limited for a place with this price range, and tasting various menu items, I couldn’t help thinking they tried to save money everywhere, and the quality of ingredients was pretty low. If I get a chance to lead the kitchen at your hotel resort, you can be certain that I won’t allow such things to happen.
• Oh yeah, it was a holiday of my life . White sand, water had just an ideal temperature, and everyone treated my so nicely. What’s more, I met this woman who was also staying alone at a resort, and we had a little romance during the stay. I think I will cherish this stay for a long time, and it definitely motivates me to apply for a job with you, to work here and contribute to this amazing place. Having said that, I realize working at a resort and staying there as a guest are two different things . I know the workload will be hard, and we’ll work 7 days a week during the main season. But I am ready for it, and will enjoy every free minute I have here, to bring back my holiday memories.
• I was impressed with almost everything there. The cleanliness of the rooms was spotless. That’s something I always notice, because as a maid I have an eye for such things , and know where exactly to look to see whether the room really was cleaned properly. And I also liked the freshness of the blankets, the way the room smelled of flowers, and the balcony of course. My last stay as a beach resort was definitely worth it , and, just like all my previous stays, it helped me to learn more about my own profession, and how to do even a better job as a maid.
• While I prefer looking for positives, I cannot help criticizing the animators . They just didn’t try hard enough with us. What I noticed is that they followed a certain schedule, and activities, not paying attention to the preferences of the particular group . Individual approach was missing. As someone who also worked as an animator before, and who hopes to have such a job in your resort, I cannot help but criticizing both the managers and the animators for this. Having said that, I do not want to complain. I still feel very blessed for having some money and opportunity to stay at nice resorts once in a while. We should never take such things for granted, especially in this economy.
• This may surprise you, but I have never stayed in any beach resort . Hence I cannot really describe my stay in one. I have always lived frugally, from paycheck to paycheck. My only way of experiencing life in some resort is working there, and perhaps benefiting from the facilities once I have free time, if such luxuries are offered to the employees of the resort. If they are not it’s still fair enough, and I will simply do my best to learn from my colleagues , and to make sure I handle my working duties to the satisfaction of the managers .
• Well, how can I describe it? 7 nights, big breakfast every morning, lying on the beach reading books, then big lunch, some sightseeing, big dinner. God I gained five pounds during my short holiday at that resort! To tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings about my stay. Sure, you enjoy the attention of people and everything, but next time around I will look for a more active holiday . Having said that, we can perhaps try to make the stay at a resort such –offering more activities to the guests, such as guided biking tours, hiking, and so on. At the end of the day it will only help the reputation of the resort, and people who aren’t interested in such activities will simply skip them.

Final thoughts and next questions

Don’t be afraid of criticizing things , but try to balance things out with something positive. Remember that nobody wants to employ people who see only the bad things in life. Someone who always complains about something during their holiday has a tendency to do the same at work. And that’s not the impression you want to make in this interview.

And if you’ve never stayed at a resort before , admit it openly. Not everyone can afford such a luxury. Hotel chains and big beach resorts typically have excellent training program in place for new hires . You will learn how to take care of your duties, and excel in the job, even if you’ve never stayed at a similar place as a guest before…. I hope this helps, and wish you good luck in your interview!
