COCKTAIL HOUR:
During our stay our butler informed us we were all invited to a welcome cocktail hour on Friday. It was the first time they restarted this service since the pandemic. This was the only day and hour you were able to get free booze on the island aside from mimosas at breakfast. The staff basically set up a happy hour from 6-7 pm at crust on the beach. Cocktails and champagne and wine as well as non alcoholic drinks were served alongside passed h’orderves. This was the only time we saw lots of people on the resort. Even at that I think it was 50-60 people. Everyone came out to grab drinks and I believe I met 5-6 families all from the states or Dubai. Everyone averaged 3-5 drinks considering cocktails and wines by the glass cost $30 a pop on the resort. Take advantage of this one and only cocktail hour if you can.
