Unlock a route cluster
The resort is not only a social upgrade. It clears access to Island Southeast and Pirate Cove, creating several Golden Walnut, fishing, collection, and late-island cleanup routes.
- Repair Island Farmhouse first, then budget 20 Golden Walnuts for the resort.
- Use Island Southeast for Mermaid, tide pool, starfish, and rain-day puzzle routing.
- Use Pirate Cove for Stingray, Gourmand Statue, dig checks, pirate nights, and Darts walnuts.
Control villager schedules
Open resort days can move villagers out of their normal town routines. The changing-room toggle lets the player close or reopen the resort beginning the following day.
- Keep it open for beach outfits, social routing, and Gus resort bar checks.
- Close it ahead of schedule-sensitive errands, quests, or gift routes in Pelican Town.
- Plan the toggle one day early because it affects future resort availability.
