In the UK a holiday resort is in many ways similar to a large village. Many residences. On-site facilities usually include some or all of a pub, a fast-food diner, a restaurant, a night club/disco, maybe a cinema, a convenience store, an amusement arcade, amusement rides. You can get everything you need (except experience the surrounding area) without leaving the grounds. Usually the facilities are open to non-guests but guests may get discounted prices and or priority access (such as free rides on the big dipper and the privilege of getting on the ride ahead of non-guests). Given on-site fast food and restaurant, catering in the accommodations may be limited to kettle, toaster and maybe microwave. In some ways there are similarities between a docked cruise ship and a holiday resort. A group of five or six holiday cottages that are converted farm buildings don't justify that sort of investment in infrastructure. You might get a playground with a slide and swings. Maybe even a swimming pool (those are rare and Canllefaes is an exception). Maybe, if there are a dozen holiday cottages then a small convenience store (which may also serve a nearby hamlet). There's not the room in a farmyard to put more holiday cottages (and planning permission would be withheld even if there were room). So the facilities I'd expect at a holiday resort won't be there. We might find a case or two where the boundary is blurred, but mostly leisure=resort (as I understand resort) doesn't fit. -- Paul
