resort

As a destination, it suggests a self-contained ecosystem of leisure. Unlike a 'hotel', which is primarily for lodging, a 'resort' implies an all-encompassing experience where activities, dining, and relaxation are integrated into one location. In the context of a final option or action, it carries a heavy sense of desperation or necessity. It describes a move made not because it is desirable, but because all preferable alternatives have been exhausted. The verb form almost always implies a reluctant transition to a less ideal method. There is often a negative connotation, suggesting that the action taken (such as lying or violence) is morally questionable or extreme, yet felt to be unavoidable.
