As a general matter I deny that the problems are significant enough to be a factor in determining whether to go to a hotel for Pesach. I don’t believe that there are more or more significant kashrut issues popping up in a hotel over Pesach, than there are in a kosher hotel setting year round, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that issue was any mroe significant than issues that arise in individiual homes. As to the activities at the hotels, like attracts like. Those who wish to spend their yom tov in the pool or on the basketball court will do so in their homes or will find a hotel where they can. Those who enjoy a Carlebach kumsitz for a Seder will make one at home or find a hotel providing one. Those who wish to hear shiurim or mussar lectures will avail themselves of it in their home communities or find a hotel that provides it.
