Hi!

If we're staying at the Sapphire Beach Resort, where are the best/closest places to buy alcohol? What are some average prices?

Thanks!

To give you an idea, a bottle of 750 ml absolut vodka is about $21 here by us in NJ. I have seen them for a little over half that at times. We usually go to K mart.

How about that .750 bottle of Cruzan Estate Light Rum for $20.00 here in Indiana? 😉

I think it's about $5.00 there. 🙂

Hey Islander, where did you find that Absolut for that much? I think I have gotten it at Cost u Less for 9.95 and seen it in Goumet Gallery for 12.95. Think that was a liter.
