Morphology
The meaning of 'resort hotel' is directly derivable from combining 'resort' (a place for recreation/rest) with 'hotel' (a lodging), where 'resort' specifies the type of hotel. This is a literal, compositional noun–noun compound common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Resort hotel combines resort (a place people go for rest and fun) and hotel (a place to stay). Imagine a hotel that is like a small holiday town with pools, restaurants and activities on site, so the term means a hotel offering many services for people on 'holiday'.
