Another TV show that slots neatly into the “holiday from hell” genre.

The ResortThe show begins with holidaymakers Noah and Emma arriving at their five-star resort, greeted by overly enthusiastic resort employees.

Not so happily ever after. Rather than address the problems in their marriage, Emma and Noah throw themselves into solving a missing persons case.When Noah falls asleep on the first night of their romantic getaway, Emma takes a bottle of booze to the hot tub and fires up an online quiz titled, “How do I know if I should leave my relationship?”’s first major curveball and a clue that perhaps this island holds dark secrets.

After firing the phone up, Emma learns it belonged to teenager Sam , who went missing on the island in 2007. This leads her down a Google rabbit hole where she discovers that in 2007 the area was hit by a freak hurricane that levelled one of the island’s most prominent hotels, the Oceana Vista resort, but also resulted in a man’s body washing up on the beach.

He experiences his first taste of teenage heartbreak when he flips open his girlfriend’s pink Motorola Razr and spies graphic messages from her professor. A devastated Sam strikes up a relationship with Violet, who is holidaying with her father, Murray .The pair hit it off, and Violet invites Sam to a private staff party at the Oceana Vista resort, hosted by the mysterious head of security Baltasar Frias , whose family runs the Vista.
