TL;DR

Ultra all-inclusive hotels usually offer some premium brands and a free à la carte dinner once a week, but the standard house alcohol is roughly the same everywhere — around 32° proof and an acquired taste.

What the community said

At the Italian à la carte restaurant, wine is served but heavily watered down — guests estimate roughly a 1:1 mix with water, and it tastes like it.

Hotel staff tend to drink better-quality alcohol themselves, while tourists usually get simpler house liquor from the common batch — the quality gap is noticeable.

Don't expect Courvoisier cognac or Cristal champagne at ultra all-inclusive resorts — quality is closer to a basic lager, and most drinks are around 32° proof. Bar staff can be flexible with pours if you keep asking for more.
