I hear Sunny Beach in Bulgar is super cheap. Byeee …..
Who cares ? You are not tourists and Daily Mirror readers are not going to have a seismic effect on anything, let alone Balearic tourism figures.
Zoltan TeglasLittle place at the es Moli end looks down the valley. Must admit I was surprised , but I didn’t find even the hotel prices bad. Certainly less than a U.K. hotel . Lumley castle.£14 a gin and tonic. Double true but you gotta taste it. Beer in town £8. Majorca is more expensive than pre Covid and compared vis with U.K. 10yrs ago significantly so. But compared with some other tourism places no.
David HollandThat sounds like a good deal for Deia
A business can charge as they see fit. The customer should always check the menu prices before sitting down to eat or drink. This is basic 101 stuff.
Shame, not.
Good riddance. We don't need the drunken bums here anyways.
Zoltan TeglasTwo large beers, glass of house Red , 4 coffees, 20 euros last week in deia. And bread and aioli and very nice it was too.
12 euros for a "large white wine"? Considering that they most likely buy it in quantity from a wholesaler, averaging about 3 euros (or less) per bottle, then it's hard to reckon that this isn't simply "gouging". Sure, businesses aren't philanthropists, but c'mon... Still, I haven't paid less than about 8-10 pounds for a glass of wine in London since, well, I can't remember when. In the US, that would be rather normal, even outside of a tourist resort. If the price is too high, they'll quit buying. And then you'll have to adjust. But there's quite a few others who won't expect it to be cheap. Especially at the beachfront.
12€ for a glass of wine? In Magaluf? Sounds like they were ripped off. It's around €3 in non tourist/yuppy areas of Palma.
