Is place in resort memorable? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

special

'memorable?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'is place in resort' is the wordplay.
'in resort' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'place'='isplace'
'isplace' anagrammed gives 'SPECIAL'.

(Other definitions for special that I've seen before include "Quite out of the ordinary" , "Unusual, superior" , "Dish not on usual menu" , "Dish not on the normal menu" , "Rare, valuable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
