The fuss made about alcohol restrictions at all-inclusive hotels in specific areas of specific resorts (for the record, Arenal in Llucmajor, Magalluf, Playa de Palma and Ibiza's Sant Antoni) has spawned some odd observations.
All-inclusive-light: Maybe it's a way forward

Absolutely agree with you Zoltan. Again don’t offer it for sale and people can’t misuse it. My choice in Majorca is always local family owned hotels my favourite is now 3rd generation 75years anniversary this year. Some like the large hotels with breakfast vending machines. And butlers for god sake. For Majorca to go upmarket, a term I hate by the way. Here’s a suggestion from a well, possibly over traveled man. Why not just be honest quality Majorcan. Be original in the world of identikit tourism and cookie cutter 4 & 5 stars hotels. Be Mallorca. I’d visit.
All inclusives should be banned as they add very little to the local economy. Imagine if all those guests were eating in local restaurants and bars instead of giving all their money to some multi national hotel chain (who then reinvest their profits in a different part of the world). But the hotel lobby has too much power on the island so this hasn't happened. They don't care about the people of Mallorca. Money is all they care about.
