Soldier entertained by dream girl in resort (8)
I believe the answer is:
alicante
'resort' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Spanish resort' mean 'alicante' so perhaps 'resort' could also mean 'alicante')
'soldier entertained by dream girl' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant).
'entertained by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are hosted or entertained).
'dream girl' becomes 'alice' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ant' placed inside 'alice' is 'ALICANTE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alicante that I've seen before include "Spanish location" , "Spanish Mediterranean port" , "foreign port" , "Spanish resort" , "in Iberia" .)
