You can just have drinks if you want, but the food is very good.

Agree with Sparky's last comments.
Our first night this year , we'd just arrived, was in IRU.
Two G and T's, not all that large, with the vat added on was 13 euros.
at 80p a Euro that's £10.40.
Didn't have a drink there again!

PP is a beautiful place but definately the most expensive spanish resort I have visited and ive visited a lot. Sadly I will think twice before returning particularly whilst the euro is so weak (will it ever recover)
£2.80p a pint of lager is the same as back home. I can recall when it was at least half the price of england in spanish resorts and prices have shot up here in the UK so its doing well to keep up, should pass uk prices soon.

Hi ianb
Actually I pay £3.25 here in the south for a pint of Sam Miguel so not quite the same for me, can we get to the bottom of this, has the euro price gone up, last year I think we paid 3.50 euros for a pint, what is the price now, I've heard its still that, can some one confirm price, if it is the same then its down to the drop in the euro so prices anywhere on the Med will have gone up the same.

Hi SWS, when i was there in May ,on average i would say my usual haunts prices have only gone up by a few cents, if at all. The exchange rate is really to blame. We can't expect prices to stay the same forever abroad, rises are much steeper in the UK.

I don't think we're moaning - I think we're all just a bit shocked at the rise in prices this year. And everyone is entitled to their opinion, after all. This is a discussion forum and I appreciate people taking the time to post prices of drinks and meals. It makes it a lot easier to budget.
I've always thought that going abroad on holiday is cheaper than staying at home, but like cheap flights, those days seem to be over...

That’s the thing though Jane, prices haven’t gone up, the euro has gone down, hopefully when the euro goes back up again we will get more for our money again

I looked back at the post below from last year (see link) and a spirit/mixer was working out at just under 5 euros - Portofan says he was charged 13 euros for two drinks...

But beer prices look like they may have stayed the same?

Thats why if you go All Inclusive it works out about the same or fraction cheaper and you dont have to keep putting your hand in your pocket.
Mind you would not do AI in Europe.

You are spot on it is a forum and its peoples opinions and my comments are my opinion. Like i say you have to leave pounds shilling and pence behind. It does not change on here, wash my mouth out for speaking out against the chosen few.

Hi there, If it makes anyone any happier, I was amazed yesterday to pay in cappocchino in beautiful Port de Andratx yesterday - 5.95 euros for a dry white wine and 4.70 for a lemon shandy!!!
Did I moan - yes!! Will I pay it again - Yes probably, as the service and sea view was next to one. BUT, Hey, I live here and I know the bottle can be bought for about 8euros so that was waaaaaaay OTT. . . . . i wonder how much they would have charged for the bottle???? I shall check next time I go . . .
I recently also paid in Porto Pi shopping centre in Palma - a cafe in centre of shopping mall so nothing special - about 6 euros for a tea. I asked the waitress if I had bought the rather nice iron teapot also - she had the decency to look somewhat embarrassed.
