resort
Significado: A holiday destination with amenities; or to turn to something as a course of action
Resort has two main meanings. As a noun, it refers to a place where people go for holidays, typically with hotels, beaches, or ski facilities. As a verb, 'to resort to' means to turn to a particular course of action, often as a last option. The phrase 'last resort' describes something done only when all other options have failed.
