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.
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.
At ultra-class hotels the included alcohol is considered premium by local standards, and guests get one free à la carte restaurant dinner per week.
