Bringing Wine/Liquor to your VIM Room?
Save

I've read a number of VIM posts about having the bartender fill up a large glass or plastic bottle with wine or liquor to bring back to your room. This sounds like a great idea and something that I would like to do when I go there later this year. Is this a common practice? Are you asking the bartender to do something that they really are not supposed to do? I would be uncomfortable if it's something that would put the bartender in an awkward position of breaking the rules to make the guest happy.

I have done that at another resort. I think the staff are used to filling up Bubba Mugs or other type mugs with a beverage of choice.

I've done it more times than I care to remember at the VIM and other resorts. The most that will happen is that the bartender (and other patrons) will be wildly impressed and/or offer some amusing predictions as to what state you'll be in after drinking all that booze!

Can't you just order room service, too?

"Can't you just order room service, too?"

I don't know that they'll deliver drinks via room service (especially if you're not ordering food too).

I could be wrong on this or have the wrong resort but I believe I read some place at VIM, room service will only bring wine.

As far as bringing your favorite liquor from one of the bars to your room. I have had no problem getting a glass of my favorite and taking it to our room. Guess i never asked if it was against the resort policy. I would imagine a bartender would indicate a against rules if it was a no no.

We did it all the time and we have been to the property 10 times.. It is our fav

In our case we just stopped at the mar tierra as we stay in the emeralds and they filled up our thermos drinking glass. there are ice buckets in your room and the ice machine is on the main floor so no worries . I am not certain about wine as we only drank wine with our meals.

No hard liquor with room service. We always take a large neat glass of booze to our room from one of the bars
