leisure=resort looks kind of fine, it is in line with the established tag
leisure=beach_resort (864 uses) and it is already used 300 times (taginfo).
On the other hand, tourism=resort might be a valid alternative: hotels,
motels, hostels and other accommodation facilities are all grouped under
the tourism key, and there are also already 160 uses of tourism=resort.
Neither of these (besides beach_resort) is documented in the wiki (AFAIK).

In case of the religious resort I agree that it would be desirable to add
religion and denomination tags to the feature.

To tag the stars there is the classic "stars=n" tag and an alternative with
award:<system>=<awards>, e.g. award:hotelstars=5 (more info about this here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_rating the hotelstars organization is
an European institution, in the US there will maybe be a different system).

cheers,
Martin
