Adore old resort, fabulous place (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

'fabulous place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'adore old resort' is the wordplay.
'resort' indicates anagramming the letters (re-sort the letters).
'adore'+'old'='adoreold'
'adoreold' anagrammed gives 'EL DORADO'.

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Imaginary place of great wealth in South America" , "Fabled golden city" , "Fabled wealthy place" , "Place where easy money may be made (after the conquistadors' folly)" , "Fabled city of gold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
