Favorite All inclusive resorts you've been to?
May 19, 2021, 9:57 AM
|

And all inclusive stands for food/beverage. Not alien or village people type probing or other hedonistic fun.
Wife of Fireball liked one we went to in the dominican republic but they kill people like Fireball with bootlegged rot gut or bad plantains.
Anybody got any other places they've been?

Also one in Dominican Republic. Had a casino on site and a great staff. I also liked how it wasn't just Americans there; we wound up meeting some fun foreigners.
There was a great float-up bar, and we were hanging out with a family we met from Texas. This old Spanish guy started yelling at his grandkid who got too close to us, and one of the Texans translated:
"He said that we're a bunch of Americans just drinking and pissing in the pool."

Barcelo Barvaro in DR is the worst
May 19, 2021, 10:11 AM
[ in reply to Re: Favorite All inclusive resorts you've been to? ] |

food and beverage experience I've ever had. That includes small towns in South Carolina.
Everything was gross. And the only beer on the resort was Presidente, which is kind of a shittier version of Dos Equis. I had to drink Mama Juanna shots just to get drunk enough to choke dowm their flavorless food. And this wasn't just the buffet, this was also the private catering and the "fine dining" restaurants on the property.
What resort were you at?

I remember the Mama Juanna. The first two or three are awful. After that, it starts to taste pretty #### good.
I can't remember where we stayed but the food was great.

Lobster bisque, eggs benedict, steak with béarnaise. All just brown gravy on different foods.

I just remember the bland, cold mystery meat and fish that's laid out.
Nothing had any flavor. Even the fancy "Spanish" restaurant on the resort.

Couples Tower Isle in Jamaica was my favorite

out of the two I've been too. To speak to your issue, there was no rotgut there, they were serving top shelf. But that may be a product of the price difference between them and the discount Barcelo in DR we went to.

Couples Negril was fantastic

16 years ago on my honeymoon.
Top shelf liquor, IIRC
Food was pretty good
We only left the resort twice, to go see cliff divers while on a booze cruise, and to visit a bar like Margaritaville or Carlos and Charlie's
Little red flags you put up beside your beach chair that indicated you needed a drink refill and they would keep them coming.

I hear Chester State Park has an all-you-can-eat-cook-your-own squirrel buffet, and lake water is included in the all-inclusive camping rate.

In my formative years, I've been to Sandal's Ocho Rios in
May 19, 2021, 11:21 AM

Jamaica, and on of the Sandal's Bahama resorts.
If you don't like to drink, it's not really worth it. Food is just okay, and can get pretty repetitive. Atmosphere was pretty great, and Eurotrash will be there, so there's some good people watching.
