There are two bars on the east side and one bar on the west side. There is a piano bar and a disco centrally located.
All bars serve alcohol. Not all serve frozen drinks. All restaurants serve liquor, or your waitress can retrieve drinks for you from another bar to bring into the restaurant. If a certain type of drink is not served at the location where you are but is served at another location, staff is willing to go and retrieve the drink you want from wherever it is available and bring it back to you.
Room service also serves alcoholic drinks and bottles of wine and champagne (bottles are for a cost though where glasses are free). There is no mini-bar in the room, but inside a mini-refrigerator, there are typically four sodas, two beers, two bottled waters, and a bottle of cheap champagne.

The resort is all-inclusive and activities are planned daily and nightly for both east and west sides of the resort. All visitors may attend any activity, any beach, any restaurant, etc. The only difference is activities, etc., on the west side are nude activities.
There are activities such as a Toga Night, a Mardi Gras Night, '60s and '70s nights, etc. There are singers who come in nightly to sing for a few hours. There is a DJ, dance lessons, dance contests, a disco, and a dance floor in the open-air restaurant, where they remove tables and chairs in that specific area for the night.
There are card games, casino games, bingo games, trivia contests, volleyball tournaments, bocce ball games, tennis lessons and games, golf lessons and matches, a Best Tan contest, and much more.
There is an upstairs room of a town building that has two pool tables, a dartboard, a Ping-Pong table, and a cabinet with games and books. However, there were only three pool cues for the two tables, one piece of chalk, no scoreboard for the darts, and only four darts, and the board/card/dice games were missing pieces. Books were very limited and most were written in German. There is a small TV with bad reception, without any chairs to sit and watch.

The resort is split into two beaches, separated by the 'Town'. The East beach is for clothed visitors. Here you can visit the WaterSports Office and sign up for snorkeling, sea kayaking, scuba diving, windsurfing, Sunfish sailing, catamaran sailing and glass bottom boat rides. There is a beach volleyball court roped off, plenty of lounge chairs with cushions. The gazebo where all the weddings take place is also on this beach, at the end of a concrete sidewalk strip over the beach and out to the water. The resort's beachfront rooms are plentiful right along the beach and one can walk no more than 100 feet to the beach from their rooms. If you have a garden view room, the beach is still very close, perhaps 250 feet. There is a large Jacuzzi outdoor tub at the very eastern end of the beach next to a small bar which serves hot food. Within an extremely short walk is the main swimming pool with volleyball net and nearby Jacuzzi, which is partially shaded by coconut trees.
The West beach is the 'au naturel' beach for complete male and female nudity. Beach chaise lounges are plentiful as well as floating chaise rafts. You may retrieve snorkeling equipment from the clothed beach side at the WaterSports office and bring it back to use at the au naturel beach. The resort's rooms also line this edge of beach, again no more than 100 feet away from the beach's edge. Very nearby, there is a very large swimming pool with one open and one tree-secluded Jacuzzi. A volleyball net is set up in the pool on one side. At the other side of the pool, the edge descends into the pool water just as the beach descends into the ocean. Floating rafts are abundant and plenty of open and covered (by umbrella or deck roof) cushioned chaise lounges. There is a bar that serves hot food on this side as well.
Both East and West beach areas and pool areas are very nice. The au naturel beach we found to have cleaner sand. It seems the staff rake the sand more often on this side and it has less seaweed, broken shells and rocks than the East beach has - but the East beach is still nice. I would wear water shoes as you will step on sharp stones, shells, coral under water.
People using the au naturel side are very respectful and fun. If you're a new visitor to the idea of a nude beach and pool, you will feel very comfortable no matter if you're male or female or what type of body you have. There is every type of person and body type present. If you choose to use the au naturel side, rules are strict about being nude. Therefore, clothed people cannot walk over from the other side of the resort to gawk and watch. Whoever is on the au naturel side must change out of their clothes and be nude.
