TL;DR
Watermelons at hotel buffets are rare and seasonal — by late September to November they disappear. Melons are available much more often. Watermelon juice is available at restaurants in the Old Town area.
Over a 15-day stay, watermelon at the buffet appeared only once — at a Gardens hotel. Melons, on the other hand, were available much more regularly.
Some guests report not seeing watermelon at the buffet for days, while guests in the club section of the same resort get it more often. Timing of arrival at the buffet may play a role.
From late September through early November, watermelons disappear from hotel buffets and even from local shops — it's out of season. Melons remain available almost daily. Watermelon juice can be found at a seafood restaurant in the Old Town.
