Thanks Blue Jay . Just to get a clarity ... why can't we shorten the sentence to eliminate "the opportunity" ?
Will that make the sentence sound meaningless?

Yes. Miss has to be followed by a noun or gerund. You can't follow it directly with a verb.

The two suggestions have very different meanings. Do you understand the meanings of each?

The 1st suggestion, "Don't miss the opportunity to make beautiful memories at the resort." tells the third person to avoid missing an opportunity to make beautiful memories at ... .

The 2nd suggestion tells that the line, "Don't miss to make beautiful memories at the resort," is vague.

I hope I got both of them right.

No. That sentence is simply ungrammatical English.
