Is the omni nice or old and average?

s/u bar is at the pool, when sitting at the beach, many resorts have a beach bar where they bring you drinks while on the beach.

yes, i'm sure you can bring your drink down to the beach yourself, but having someone bring it to you when you are relaxing on the beach is nice, i read some reviews that said they do sometimes when it is busy, bring a drink mug, as i read they give you small cups for drinks and they don't mind filling a mug

They have guys that actually jog drinks and food to you, actually jog, on the beach! As to the swim-up bar, they do have one in the pool, but they also have a giant jacuzzi bar right on the beach! It really is over the top.

We stayed at RPLA twice last year - April & December. Both times we had drink service on the beach. In April the waiter was running himself ragged.
