Was at a resort a few years back and they pulled the same shit. Paid for the one round, but what would have been multiple days of day drinking and spending there turned into us finding a pool, but then going to the local bar instead. People there were great, exchanged stories, and spent probably a quarter of what we would have at the pool.
If they had even just charged half of what they were we probably would have stayed and they would have made a few hundred off of us on drinks alone, but they got so greedy they lost out on everything else.
I've never understoodbthe appeal of a resort. Growing up we would visit my mom's family in northern England, touring museums and ruins around Yorkshire and Northumbria, far flung from the tourist hotspots other Americans would visit. I suppose that comes from my old sailor grandpa. He was always adamant about eating where the locals ate, so we did that everywhere we went
