If we ever get a Beach Vacation EP, there should be hotels our Sims can stay in, from cheap motel to luxurious resort.
BUT make them ownable like the vet clinic & restaurants! Hotels could get a star rating based on...
- Furnishing
- Staff friendliness
- Pool area
- Room size
- Wait time (at the lobby)
- Food quality at buffet

You could do that if hotels functioned like vet clinics & restaurants. Then you could place them in whatever world you want.
It's a bit hard to place them in whatever world you want, when the worlds I want don't exist.
That's why we need Create A World
in the resort
Lomi Lomi Massage
Hawaiian Spa
Uniform for male spa worker in Hawaii
Hotel Manager for Asian Resort Uniform
Egyptian Resort
Turkish Baths
Ski Resort
Room at Ski Resort
Spa at the Mandarin Oriental in Shanghai
Japanese Onsen
Casino at the Venetian
spa day would be great with it to
Omg yessssssss. Everything you said.
Plus:
Beaches need resorts unless our sims can stay on luxury liners and even with that I still want hotels and resorts.
I for one would like to see this, but I fear it would just get lumped in with Fitness. For that matter, I also think Swimming should be its own separate skill as not everyone knows how to sim.

The vibrating heart shaped love bed definitely has to return!
There is also another heart shaped bed that might be awesome
> One of the things I think fell short with the Sims 3 world Adventures was that they had those horrid hostels in the areas we visited rather than full service hotels. If it were up to me I would have hotels that:
>
> * Could be placed in any potential vacation destination which as Movotti requested in could be a ski associated type area
> * Could be built with any type of architecture so it could be a ski chalet or a beach resort or even a castle if we so choose
> * Had Lot traits associated as well
> * Could be purchasable and ran as a business
> * Had Desk Clerks, Doormen, Housekeeping and Groundskeepers as well as Pool Servers, Restaurant Staff, Spa Aestheticians, and Bartenders
> * Can have restaurants, hotel bar, pool bar and a spa built in it if you have the associated packs
> * I like the star rating system idea
> * If you have the hotel pack and they introduce a new destination such as Egypt they always include an unlock-able front desk and associated hotel items (decor, uniforms etc.) to create another new hotel for the new area
> * If they introduce Casinos then allow us to add in casino elements
> * Larger lots to accommodate large resort and hotels
> * Updates to the current "destination" areas to accommodate at least a moderately sized hotel
> * If you have the Spa pack and they introduce a new unique destination that is known for certain spa treatments such as Lomilomi massage, from Hawaii, Turkish Baths, or the Onsen from Japan they include these in updates to the spa for use
> in the resort

This times 1,000 i would love to be able to use hotels in all my worlds, add them in to existing vacation worlds (and to be able to buy second homes in these locations) as well as a new vacation location(s) - a ski setting or the more obvious tropical island settings would be perfect worlds, but more than anything being able to integrate hotels in to the rest of my worlds and features from my other packs (spa day, dine out, pools, nightclubs, celebrity hot spots etc) in to my vacation worlds would be awesome.
I really think that a "on Vacation" full expansion pack rather than a game pack or stuff pack could bring so much versatility beyond just adding one new resort location for us to play with. For me it would bring a whole new aspect of game play across the worlds that would really help with my story telling and could be used by all my sims not just specific people or families with one kind of aspiration. In terms of new aspirations, skills and jobs there is a whole swathe of ways you could go, from watersports skills, to resort owner or property developer jobs and property magnate aspirations.
I really like the idea of having some run down resorts that need "flipping" to improve and build your way up the ladder, but also being able to delete premade lots and build your own resorts/hotels from scratch in any location across the worlds. Perhaps you cant own * run a 2/3/4/5 star resort until you've successfully owned and managed the lower star resorts beneath it first. I like the way this could potentially fit in with a smaller pack like a property developer/owner pack which allows a sim to own more than one home. I like the idea of being able to own a holiday home and live across more than one property/location if you can afford it, or rent your second home out in the same way apartments are rented to townies and a rent paid to you as a landlord. Building a property empire would be a fun way to play the game, and owning various hotels, resturants, shops and businesses would be great pack integration.
Boats as hotels would be an interesting idea. Perhaps sims could even go on cruises.
Of course, I'd want sims to be able to bring their pets along to the resorts (unless the pets stayed at a pet-only resort or a kennel-- pets could be happy upon return from the former and maybe irritated on return from the latter depending on quality of the kennel). Sims could hire pet-sitters while they traveled as well. There could be resorts that only allowed cats (in case the dogs might chase them) or only dogs.
It would be nice if there were resorts that only allowed teens and up (so no annoying children buzzing around) as well as some that were kid-friendly.
I like the Casino idea bc my brother works at a restaurant in a casino and my best friend works at an arcade in a casino.
While I'm not a fan of the heart-shape stuff, I do have nostalgia for the vibrating heart bed. It would be cool if there were vibrating beds of different shapes as well. Maybe some that sims have at home that would make them feel better after working. Massage chairs would be cool too (not sure if they exist from stuff packs or not).
I love the ideas of sims being able to own, live at, and work at resorts/hotels.
Vibrating heart beds could be a perfect fit for honeymoon suites!
It could not only be for WooHoo as well, Sims could lie down and set vibration mode and have all their bad moodlets relieved
