, spirits, sticky sweet cocktails and a liqeur that I couldn't finish as it was like paint stripper. The wine is terrible.
As well as the AI buffet, the hotel has an Italian and Indian restaurant. These are not included, although you do get a discount. I didn't try them, as they looked deserted every night.
