Fun Holiday was in a good location. I frequented Woodstock for lunch, dinner, and dominoes several times. Also, Roots Bamboo is right there, and alfred's not too far away. Bourbon, a bit further but not terrible.
My complaint is that the walls were a bit thin on one side and I literally heard everything my neighbors said and did, and I'm sure they heard me, although I'm pretty quiet and easy going as a solo traveler. I'm not sure I would have noticed on a normal 7 night trip because I am hardly in my room during a one week stay, but for a longer 10 night stay, and with some rainy afternoons, and I got sick one day, I was in my room much more than usual.
I did not do the all inclusive. I had a few drinks there one night early on before I went to the shop for my own vodka and ting. I tipped the bartenders for ice. They were very accommodating. I also asked if I could get water from the water and juice dispenser, and it was no problem.
I brought one beach towel and one wash cloth. I ended up using the washcloth daily, and the towel acted as a blanket. If I was swimming, I just walked around until I dried off, or went right to my room and changed, so I never really used a beach towel, but that's kind of how I roll anyway. There were two bath towels to start and were changed out when I needed fresh ones.
I decided not to bring hangers for the closet, and I only had three in my room. I am certain I could have asked for more, but it worked out ok. I'd probably pack my own next time, just to ensure I have what I would like.
Overall, I would stay at this hotel for a good rate. I was most disappointed in the thin walls, but that is a pet peeve of mine. I personally would never do the all inclusive here, there are just too many options nearby for meals and I prefer to buy my own alcohol and make my own drinks. I both walked and used taxis to get around during the heat of the day. I will only use taxis after sunset to get more than two or three properties down anymore.
