Resort is same as hotel in some respects but Hotel provides a lot more facilities than resort.

Resort is the place where people go for recreation and vacations and it provides accommodation and entertainment.

A hotel is place which provides you good food, accommodation, state of the art facilities, restaurant, a swimming pool, child care, meeting rooms and conference services etc.

 Yes and No. A hotel is typically a place where you would stay when you have other places around the town to visit. A resort is a place where you would stay for the entire length of time. The resort has much more to offer such as a spa, possibly a golf course, beach front. It is my experience, as apposed to the lost responder, that each offer the basics - swimming pool, restaurant, meeting rooms etc. But the resort is more a recreational environment.
