TL;DR
Recent reports say Swissotel beach bars generally serve drinks in proper tableware rather than disposable cups; the new beach bar even brings orders on serving boards with attractive plates. Earlier messages mentioned clear 0.5 L disposable cups for champagne and smoothies, so the service style may have changed over time.
Another report: proper hotel glassware was used alongside dishes from the hotel's Oriental restaurant, while drinks were brought specifically from the beach bar.
A newer report (Aug 18): at the beach bar, decent bottled beer is poured into 200 ml plastic cups; it's unclear what happens at the other bars.
A recent report notes that on the beach itself, beer and cocktails are still poured into plastic cups, while at the pool bar drinks come in real glass tumblers/glasses garnished with a citrus slice — service differs by location.
The most recent report says there are currently no disposable cups: drinks and food on the beach are served in regular tableware. At the new beach bar, orders are brought out on wooden serving boards, while another beach bar also serves menu items on attractive plates.
A slightly earlier review says some beach bartenders make a very good mojito: they muddle mint and lime properly if you remind them. The cocktail is served in tall glasses rather than basic disposable cups.
An older message described a different service style at Swissotel beach: champagne was served in clear disposable cups of about 0.5 liters, similar to the ones used for smoothies and juices.
