TL;DR
Travelers reported no problems with ice served at resort bars, including during two-week stays and daily cocktails. This is anecdotal rather than a guarantee, so travelers with sensitive stomachs may prefer to start with drinks without ice.
During a June stay, one traveler regularly had ice in red wine in the evenings and in daytime cocktails, with no stomach issues reported.
A group of 13 drank iced beverages at different hotel bars for two weeks without problems. Ice was reportedly delivered to some bars in sealed bags, while other bars used an ice machine.
Another traveler had drinks both with and without ice. They attributed one episode of feeling unwell to mixing tequila and beer rather than to the ice.
