Plot

Several young American men go to St Kitts for a summer job at a resort hotel, hoping to earn money for college and meet women. They clash with a group of wealthy Ivy League rowers there to film a soup commercial.

Production

Hot Resort was filmed on an Arriflex 35BL camera and 35 mm film, on location at the Royal Saint Kitts Hotel, Saint Kitts. ^{[3] [4] [5]}

Reception

The Blockbuster Video Guide to Movies and Videos described it as a "cold sophomoric comedy." ^[6] Leonard Maltin rated Hot Resort a "bomb" and gave it a "D". ^[7]

In the Radio Times , Keith Bailey gave it one star, saying "There's not much in the way of humour in this teen comedy […] Poor old Frank Gorshin wanders in and out of the virtually plotless story, while Bronson Pinchot shows none of the comic talent that would later make him famous." ^[8]
