Which bars in Antalya resort hotels serve cocktails and spirits, and are any of them extra charge?

Based on 1 discussion with 4 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago

TL;DR

In the hotel described, the widest drink selection was at the lobby bar, with spirits also available at the pool bar and in the à la carte restaurant. The new “island” pool bar was reportedly extra charge for imported alcohol, while free cocktails at the nearby snack bar were considered low quality.

What the community said

Cocktail quality is inconsistent: the hotel sometimes runs out of ingredients (e.g., no tequila for two days, no champagne), the sparkling wine used isn't tasty, Aperol is made with wine, and mojitos are made with vodka instead of rum.

At the Laguna beach bar, cocktails are weak and the bartender makes the same drink differently each time; it's recommended to get drinks at other hotel bars instead.

At the beach, bottled alcohol was seen once (poured from bottle into a glass), but usually all outlets pour drinks from taps/dispensers — the alcohol strength is noticeable.

Some drinks near the pool were shifted to self-service: punch containers were first placed at the entrance to the main restaurant, then moved to the pool area.

For mojitos, bartenders were reportedly serving only the alcohol and ice, with guests told to top up the rest themselves from metal drink containers.

The restaurant previously had only water from a dispenser, and only later added pre-filled cups, so drink options during meals may be limited.

The broadest selection of alcohol and cocktails was at the lobby bar. Spirits were also available at the pool bar and in the à la carte restaurant, but not really in the main restaurant.

A separate ‘island’ bar opened by the pool: cocktails there were paid and marketed as made with imported spirits. A free alternative was available at the nearby snack bar, but guests rated it much lower in quality.
