I will provide a some background and if anyone wants to try to help I will provide more detail.
I am about to break ground on a new "resort" project. The property is bordered by hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands. The top rated Mtn bike trail down here emanates from the project itself. Just out the back you can hike, mtn bike, atv, etc across hundreds of trails to the Virgin River gorge and Beaver Dam Moumtains.
There are two parts to it.
First area is more for guests that want to ride atvs, get dirty, and experience the desert more like the locals do.
The second part is more of a tourist resort... lounging by a fantastic pool complex and the intention is to visit the state and national parks while staying in a great "jumping off" point of resort-luxury.
The first area will have a "pro shop" that is loaded with high-end bike rentals, side-by-sides, etc.. There so that "dad" from Chicago can swipe his AMEX and take his kids on a 6-seater atv across the desert complete with a cooler of water/soft drinks, pre-made sandwiches, etc... and be a hero for a day. I have been affectionately calling this first area "The Edge." Because it's on the edge of the public lands and it's meant to be a bit more "edgy" than the luxury resort of the other piece.
The second area will have a great pool complex with lazy river and swim-up bar that is incorporated into the open-air restaurant done Caribbean style. A spa and conference spaces as well.
This is a condo-hotel. Meaning the individual residences will be sold off and then placed into the hotel revenue pool.
So that's the quick snapshot.
My dilemma is we dont know what to call it.
We would prefer not to refer to it as a hotel (because there are NO hotel rooms - every accommodation is condominium style), resort (just a very generic term), lodge (sounds mountain more so than desert), or Inn (sounds too small).
I am wanting to play off of both the state and national parks as well as being surrounded by the open lands.
So I've played with names like;
Grand Desert
Grand Parks
Southern Parks
And then subtly differentiating between the two "sides" of the resort.
For example;
The Edge at Southern Parks
Grand Desert at Southern Parks
The issue is I feel it leaves you hanging without a property-type identifier.
I'm wanting to say;
The Edge at Southern Parks (lodge/Resort or ??)
There are smart people on here that also get this area... would truly appreciate any ideas.
