premixed drinks steep hills
The location provided excellent sea views all around, THAT was acceptable.
The all-inclusive drinks were ONLY available at the bars next to the main pool. You had to walk a considerable distance up steep hills to get a drink. The all included drinks were all premixed and quite sweet. I preferred ordering drinks by the seaplatform as the cocktails were normal cocktails.
