In the ''[Radio Times](/source/Radio_Times)'', Keith Bailey gave it one [star](/source/star_(rating)), saying "There's not much in the way of humour in this teen comedy […] Poor old [Frank Gorshin](/source/Frank_Gorshin) wanders in and out of the virtually plotless story, while [Bronson Pinchot](/source/Bronson_Pinchot) shows none of the comic talent that would later make him famous."<ref name="radiotimes">{{cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/movie-guide/b-90fn0x/hot-resort/|title=Hot Resort (1985)|website=Radio Times|access-date=2022-01-31}}</ref>
