For some of you, that's all you need to hear. Others consider food and drink important and don't want to be stuck for a week with indifferent buffet meals and uninspired drinks. Natura Park in November of 1998 provided us with quite good food. We have also eaten some very uninteresting buffets at resorts at which the number of stars should indicate something better. On this trip, Gil stayed at the Iberostar Punta Cana and found the food sub-standard.
Similar considerations apply to drinks.
The bartenders at Natura Park made everything we thought of asking for. On the otherhand, bartenders at some other resorts seem to be able to dispense beer and not much else. And sometimes there is no perceptable alcohol in the drinks at all-inclusive resorts. And then there is the tricky point of ocean view. If you want ocean view from your room, you will need to select specific resorts and probably pay extra.
