I was SHOCKED IN Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca (Majorca), Spain 

If you're splashing out for sunbed rentals in Puerto Pollensa, then I do recommend getting a waterproof bumbag or phone case cover which you can buy here. www.amazon.co.uk/shop/mallorcaunderthesun Also check out this video for tips to keep your belongings safe. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7-9mHx1H318.html

Despite the prices Puerto Pollensa is absolutely beautiful.

Hi Alex great video and always informative, thanks for sharing it with us 👍🇪🇸

PP looking stunning! So lovely to see all our favourite haunts on your walk Alex. 😍🌞

I’m almost crying with jealousy. It looks amazing there today

Hi Alex, we finally put our schedule together and we plan to be visiting Mallorca on November 2023. Hope to see you! Thanks for the great video! Ramon and Zoe

I'm going in 5 days time for the first time...mainly for cycling and staying at the Aparthotel Duva and Spa..probably do my sunbathing in the afternoon there by the pool and use the Eroski supermarket close by on the edge of town, this is likely a one off bucket list(Sa Calobra, Puig Major, Sa Battalla and of course Cap de Formentor) destination for me, usually go to Tenerife it's half the cost and guaranteed warm all year round!!!

Its madness its like the Mallorcan councils do not want tourism 22 euros for an umbrella with no safe!, I have also heard some brits saying that the cost of just booking a holiday in mallorca is putting them off and they are looking for cheaper options on mainland Spain, It must be very worrying for local businesses, I know some people will say you are lucky to afford to go abroad, People work very hard and have to save to go abroad but having to fork out more money for stuff like this will just put people off.

Hi Alex. Thanks for the video of Puerto Pollensa. Seeing Puerto Pollensa has made my day. I'm going there in June. Did you notice the price of sunbeds at the Llenaire end of the town? I always suspected the prices on the Pinewalk were more expensive than the rest of Puerto Pollensa. Looking forward to the livestream. Many thanks, John

We've visited 3 times this year and been very fortunate to do so. First time, there wasnt security lockers on the sun shades but they had been added to the shades around the area at the beginning of pine walk on our second visit. They cost a euro on top of the 22 for the beds. Must say i found that and the beer to be the biggest price rises. I stuck to wine (beautiful and very cheap at 2.50 to 4.50 euros) and short mixers as they are far larger servings. The food was generally the same as it has been for the last few years eg, we went to cellar la parra and had bread/olives, steak, a bottle of red wine and a gin and tonic. 2 deserts and that was around 75 euros for what was a perfect meal. You tend to pay a little more for the restaurants directly on the front but there's some gems to be found in the streets behind. I'd recommend cellar la parra, siurell at Llennaire, la Balada del agua del mar?? (First small restaurant at beginning of, pine walk), hibiscus, just off the main square, el posito (back streets behind the square)...bocchoris on the front near to Sis Pins......plus many more. All amazing food and very reasonably priced for the standard of food served. We've been visiting for 20 years now and havent experienced another place that lets us feel so safe and relaxed.

Another really informative video Alex! Its doubly good watching your videos because not only do we get to see stunning scenery, but we also get lots of valuable information. Talking of valuable (S) I think I will be burying mine in the sand or more likely leaving them at the hotel and sitting on a beach towel with a sun hat as shade and lots of sun cream. Its too expensive to factor in the price of a brolly and sunbed every day!

I love pollenca, have been going for years several times a year. Definitely noticed prices increase substantially over the years. But still love it there

Georgeous spot we visited last week with recommendations from you. The prices are crazy this year for almost everything i hope the cost of living drops asap but it will never stop the island filling up we can all give up daily luxurys but we will never give up our holidays! 😂

Crickey I'm in Majorca in July and I'll be on my beach towel. Don't think many Brits will pay that much.

Ounce again, you are our life line as to what's happening in Mallorca. The security box thing is just so disappointing 😮. X love your videos

That’s PP prices for you, make hay while the sun shines 😎 or just buy a cheap beach chair and umbrella for 2 weeks….

Hello Alex. Having a great time in PP at the moment. The coffee and cake deals have gone up also €5 in your videos last year and €7.50 this year. Probably just as well as they’re very tempting! 😆 Shame about the security boxes, they’d be a great idea

Alex, at that end of the beach the beds and parasols were that price last September. Cheaper on other side of the river

It’s amazing place. We are now in palmanova, Mallorca😊 We will back to Germany tomorrow 😢

Just got back from Costa dela Calma , couldn’t believe the amount of bikes around made our trips up in the mountains a bit hairy to say the least. Also as you aid in your video Alex sunbed prices absolutely ridiculous.

In PP just now and it is damn expensive. Was here 21 years ago and although the town has grown considerably it is still a great family holiday.

I went September 2023 we only paid £15 for 2 beds and umbrella and they did have security boxes. I was further along, perhaps the closer you are to the centre the more they cost.

The bikes are due to the Mallorca 312 gran fondo

Saturday there will be the Mallorca 312. A cycle tour with 8.000 attendees that will go through the Tramontane Mountains (on closed roads!). That's one of the reasons why it's so crowded with cyclists. Further it's excellent weather and a beautiful environment to go biking and start the cycling season well.🚴☀️🌴

Actually thought the price was ok, however what Will the airline charge you to get it home on the plane?

It’s been that price for quite a few years at the narrower part of the beach, usually a bit cheaper past the marina

We have been visiting PP for 30 years and nothing shocks me regarding price increases in the port but we just Love the place I remember are first time in PP and we fell in Love with the place ,its changed a lot and there are some strange decisions that have been passed some of them seem very snoby and pety but they have kept it mostly as it all way's has been and that is a difficult thing to do so well done for that but when you are the dearest resort on the Island for Beach Brollies and beds then advertise yourselves as a family resort it becomes a bit of a oxymoron, I just think they need to be careful not to price themselves out of the race but in my opinion it's the best resort end of and we have booked ourselves in for two breaks this year and already booked for next year, special occasion that one , cant wait to get back ❤

I was looking at going to palma but the prices for the good hotels i thought were too much especially at this time of year.

Lovely resort 😊

Just seen this video…am sure prices are a little cheaper on the other side of the beach…and sunbed quality is basic….but some people buy a couple of small chairs and a brolley and pass them on when they go😂

Hi Alex ahh my favorite place. Hi from my sick bed this week 😢

22EUR isn't the worst I've seen, compared to places in South of France, etc? Formentor beach was double that too... but as you say it adds up over a week....

Price rise (16€ -> 22€) +38%. That's 4,5 times the inflation rate 2022 (8,32%). That's really, really bad.

Do you have to rent a sunbed to sit on the beach? I’m happy to just put my towel on the sand to be honest.

This year (coasts) it is being much tougher with its restrictions in the Puerto Pollença area, see the Cappuccino cafe solarium that this year is not set up and so in many places..

I have a picture on my phone made on the 27th of June, 2022, in Pollensa beach in the CENTER (nord side of town). The price was exactly the same, so 22Eur.. so considering inflation this is a good deal :)

Hi Alex it was 22 euros last year on pine walk beach, 16 on the bigger beach the other side of the harbour. x

I have a quick and probbably dumb question, I havent been to Puorto Pollensa in years and we are going there in June. Can you use your card there in restaurants etc there now rather than using cash/euros ? ..... thanks in advance

Blimey, that cost is bad, we normally book the sunbeds in Alcudia for 2 full weeks, so thats potentially over £300 squid.

How many times can you say Porto Poyensa in 5mins???

Gearing up to price out the Brits in favour of the Germans. Heard this last year on a boat trip, the locals only want the German affluence

Turkey for us this summer I wouldn't entertain the greedy spanish resorts.

Cheers Alex, absolute robbery

There's no i in Pollensa

Mallorca needs to learn a lesson and quick with regards to prices .....

Well if you don't like it stay in UK and stop criticizing an EU country😡
