TL;DR

A local guide warned that outsiders can only walk around resorts like Iberotel and Majestic, not use their bars/restaurants — but in practice, one traveler got drinks served freely at Majestic.

What the community said

Majestic hotel got good reviews — bartenders poured any drink requested, despite the guide's warning that non-guests aren't supposed to use the bars.

Majestic Hotel

The tour guide explicitly said that at resorts like Iberotel and Majestic, outside visitors are only allowed to walk the grounds — using the bars and restaurants is officially off-limits for non-guests.

Renovation work was underway at a resort snack bar — it looks like they're building an enclosed restaurant space instead of the previous open-air setup.
