Maybe a spa treatment or two as well.

I do see about 60% of the time spent in the resort, which is why i am looking for resorts with great rooms with good service and good food.

I'm seeing a trend here.

Do keep other options open but having just spent five days and four nights at the GH with a similar agenda, my memory is pretty fresh. There's also something to be said of taking advantage of hard-earned hotel elite status and saving $60-$100 a day in breakfast and snacks (via lounge access) and getting higher priority for room and suite upgrades.
