    put the bottles in your suitcase when you check in. Act mature and they won't have any reason to suspect anything.

    if u got checked luggage then put it in there. and for the booze, if u like tequila then buy it down there, when i was there they didnt have a problem with me bringing in a couple bottles. If its not tequila then id go duty free after security in the airport. if u dont got checked luggage then buy ur liquid toilitries at a local store (not from the hotel tho!!! they jack up prices!) or take small bottles (less than 30 ml but confirm online) in ur checked.

    There are lots of little grocery type shops within the hotel zone, Pharmacies as well. Even down where the clubs are you can find these stores, you should have no issues finding what you need.
