Hi Alex,thanks for the update ive been looking out for them on the webcam and i cant believe theres still no loungers and parasols its an absolute joke there is no way im booking any more trips to puerto pollensa until they sort this out!! i dont want to sit on a towel and i do not want to be carrying loungers from multi hire either!!🤔🤔
Thanks for the update. What with sewage problem last season Puerto Pollensa authorities aren’t covering themselves in glory. Tamarells restaurant on the beach must be furious.
Who wants to go on holiday where they have to pay out for extras they can’t take back home with them - on top of that not feeling welcome - go where you’re going to be appreciated - if you have time look elsewhere in time for 2025
Oh dear Alex thats one way ofgetting people to go to greese instead .such a shame as the beaches in Mallorca are second to none i hope the sort it out soon .
Great video. Thanks. We were out there last year in Santa Ponsa. Looked again for this years prices, WOW !, now this . Making different plans now. 4 adults and 2 schoolkids..........You have a great year, your doing a great job keeping us informed.
We came out to PP a few years ago. The sun beds and beach services were ready when the clocks changed at the end of march and everything was put away when the clocks changed back at the end of October. What is happening this year is an absolute shambles! Give me the licence and I’ll gladly work over there and get everything sorted in the sun! Crazy!
Hi Alex, danke für deinen tollen Einsatz in Sachen Beach. Ich war gerade für 2 Wochen bis 31.5.24 in PP. Ich liebe diesen Ort seit Jahren. Aber es waren für mich nicht die erholsamen Strandtage, auf die ich mich u.a. so gefreut hatte. Zudem mein Hotel keinen Pool hat. Wir haben einen Billig- Schirm in einem der Asia- Läden an der Strandstrasse für 10 Euro bekommen und ihn später verschenkt. Aber auch damit war es nicht wirklich ein Strandvergnügen. Luftmatrazen fliegen schnell weg bei dem Wind am Strand. So sind wir mit dem Bus 1 Stunde zur Playa de Muro nach Alcudia gefahren. 2 Liegen+ Schirm und Safe für 15 Euro/ Tag. Strand u. Meer sind dort sehr viel schöner und die Infrastruktur für Menschen mit Einschränkungen ist an ausgewiesenen Abschnitten auch gegeben. Aber wer will schon jeden Tag 1 Stunde (spätestens um 10 Uhr, um einen Schirm etc zu bekommen) mit Umsteigen mit dem Bus fahren ...😢. Ich werde nächstes Jahr woanders Urlaub machen. Denn leider ist diese Misere nicht das 1. Mal in PP vorgekommen in den letzten Jahren Ende Mai. Dafür ist mir mein Geld zu schade. Liebe Grüsse aus Berlin!
The way people are going on you would think you couldn’t go on the beach without paying a small fortune for a sun bed. Been going to PP for years and never once used the sun beds.
Hey Alex I'm in playa de muro, visiting my daughter in callas de mallorca yesterday we went down to a little cove .was charged 15 50 euros at 3pm (for 2 sunbeds) the same person closed the toilet block at 3,25pm despite the notice say toilet close at 4pm. Honestly never had anyone with such a dismissive attitude ever 😢😢
I just saw on Facebook a beach club in Malaga offering cocktail and a poke salad and bed for 17.50 looked really nice too, about time Mallorca woke up and stopped ripping tourists off big time, we lived on the island for 37 years and just got tired of the bad attitude from the majorcians they forget they were riding around on donkeys 40 years ago and now driving BMW’s or Mercedes where do they think that came from!!
that doesn't sound like great value at all. Greetings from Thailand. You'd get 5 x cocktails here and a starter and main course (fresh seafood caught within hours) for 17.50. Spain and Europe is a joke for prices these days
@@bldtv7038 I’ve been in Thailand many times, and yes it used to be cheap for food but drinks were never cheap and since the russian tourists started going it all changed not the place it was!
@@neilwharton720 what are you talking about ? Zee Russians causing drink prices to rise! ! Nonsense. I was buying bottles of quality Thai beer for 49 baht in Hua Hin. That’s €1.20 each.
Hi Alex, was great to see you today in Port de Soller, but couldn't get to feature in your video because our tram had arrived. Thanks for all the updates you posted Rihal (B'ham, UK)
Excellent video Alex fantastic updates. That shed you were outside has double the amount of sun beds around the back over and above the ones you could see 😢
Thank you Alex for the update, Looks like we will be sat on our towels on polenca beach next week ! Still can’t wait for the sun. It June and the heating has been back on in Blackpool.
This is so sad. It’s Sun Bedlam. Fortunately we are in Soller and the hotel apartment has a great view over the harbour , so we will not require a Sunbedlam. Might see you there, Alex. 👍👍
Currently in Puerto Pollenca and due to windy weather the beach is a bit dangerous especially for children with purchased umbrellas flying all over the place. Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves . Really annoyed !!!
I’m going to Calla Millor next week. I really hope this continues, sun beds on the beach are a total rip off. Give me a beach full of towels and bring your own sun shade, any day. 👍
With the anti tourism sentiment and greed (sunbeds €70 per day!) it won’t be long before Mallorca starts crying poverty as people go elsewhere. Vote with your wallet people…
How can anyone make a living out for the hire of sunbeds this year if they go up in July? Because the season ends in October the cost this year will be astronomical and will top last years cost of 15euros. Im guessing we wont see them this year on the beach in PP which is a real shame because we did plan to travel in September. Oh well, maybe next year ;-) Thanks again Alex...Sunbed gate eh...I wonder where you heard that?? 😆
Just how can you have a paperwork issue on an Island where you depend on such a short holiday season? Good job I don't do the beach sizzle. So, you think they'll capitalise on scarcity?
A quick update for those about to visit Puerto pollensa. Today(Thursday 11th July) the parasol posts have been erected and sun loungers have been dropped off beachside. I think tomorrow or Saturday will see the umbrella part of the parasol attached. Happy days. 🌞
We went to Alcudia in May, payed 9,10 euros each for a sunbed (three persons = 27,30 euros) . Not beeing able to buy any coffee or lunch. One toilet in reach (filthy, often flooded). We are now planning to go to Portugal or Malta next year instead, if they want us! 🤔 The media are informing us every day about the inhabitants in Spain don't want us to visit and there will be an increase of tourists, so perhaps - problem solved!
My Wife & Myself LOVE that their's not many people at all this beach. For us it's Wonderful. Because Alcudia & the rest are so CROWDED that you can't even find a spot to lay. And if you do, you'll have only about 5 or 6 feet of Real estate to put everything you have with you on it. That sucks to have so many people that close to you to where you have to worry about somebody taking your belongings. I've never heard of that happening fortunately. But we go to these places once or twice a year and the Spanish DO NOT have an Unwelcoming attitude AT ALL. Spanish people are the NICES most Freindly and Most Welcoming people of all the places we've travel to. And I've been fortunate enough to have owned a Passport for over 40 years, and have been to 25 countries. And if all of those places the Spanish are ha ds down the nicest. We also stumbled across a festival that was only locals. So as we where there we asked if we were aloud there. And they said "Yes, Of Course". Then these nice older Spain Women who spoke zero English or German told us to go get food by using hand gestures. But it worked 😂. I say all of this because I don't want ANYBODY here to get the wrong impression of the Spain. Because even the teenagers are polite nice & well behaved. They even offered my Wife a seat on the bus. This is shocking to me at my age of almost 70. Because that's not the norm in world we live in today😢. Also DO NOT Mix up Spanish people with "Hispanic", they have Zero to do with one another except for speaking Spain. If you go to Spain looking for rice and beans, you're gonna Starve to death😂. The only rice they have is a very short grained rained rice, thats used in Paella. We just came back from there yesterday. And we always look forward to going back because the people are a Beautiful people. They always say Hola, and have attitude. They seem very happy and stressfree. Which makes you feel the same. And because of this, we would LOVE to Move there. 🎉❤❤❤
hi.....can you do a space on the beach? update for these past days in July please? i am hovering over the paymnet button for a holiday at the moment ...but i do not want to make a mistake,,because i will be with my severely autistic son who just wants to go in the sea and walk,,,but we don't do well in crowds....
Another blow for us after learning we won’t have no sun beds we were contacted by a very apologetic manager of our sea view apartment in the town, to tell us he can’t guarantee the view because the powers that be won’t cut back trees / foliage 🏝🧐
Hi I enjoy listening to your reports and the sometimes useful information but you are doing yourself an injustice with the "CLICKBAIT " Headlines, keep your credibility lose the BOLD HEADLINERS really not needed. Just listening to your latest report whilst sitting o the hotel balcony at from Playa d' Muro
Hey! That’s the thing - I do make an intention to deliver on the title - but on the RUclips home page I’m competing with other channels - other much bigger channels, news networks etc So with all the work and endless time I put into each video I do want viewers to watch the videos. Myself and other travel RUclipsrs - we test what works, what doesn’t and how to improve the CTR - I would love to just put Port de Soller and the date - but that just won’t work. Trying to create a balance is key - I’ll keep working on it ! Thanks for your feedback tho - will take this into account
Do what we do.. Put a beach towel on the sand, and lie on it. Save yourself the €10 or so, that they hit you with. If you want shade. Pop into a local bar, for a glass of beer.
Alex we have been going to PP for 33 years on the 19th June we arrive again and if the beach problems are not resolved by then as much as I love Majorca and PP that will be it i will never go again as you say its not just the beds & brollies we have a disabled person with us and it will ruin our holiday,this is all about money and greed and enough is enough no more this is one of the most expensive resorts on the island and this is not exeptable 😢
It isn’t acceptable and at the present time I advise against travelling there with anyone disabled in your party if you can’t enjoy the beach in the same way as everyone else.
PP is our favourite place in Majorca, we've had many great holidays there. Our alternative is Greece. Luckily this year that's our choice for 24. Absolutely heartbreaking for the local businesses. It won't be our choice until all this is sorted.😢
Oh dear. It’s not good news for beach goer’s. I personally don’t do beaches except for beach combing, but I feel sorry for those who love beaches. A great honest update, thanks Alex.
Everyone should cancel your holidays to Mallorca. Make an example of them. Make them go broke and then laugh when they want tourists to return in 2025. Watch the prices collapse too.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun don’t worry I’m unsubscribing and I’ll never come back to your channel. You seem offended by my reasonable comment. Tourists need to fight fire with fire and change their holiday destination PERIOD. You should adopt a similar hard line and you might have more subscribers tbh
Not a problem just choose somewhere else just sounds all too trouble to be honest, carry on like this and the issue of tourism will go away. No tourist no problem.
Spanish 🇪🇸 will soon be pleading for us BRITISH 🇬🇧 to come back when their ECONOMY COLLAPSES nobody could have told the Spanish 🇪🇸 DON'T BITE THE HAND ✋ THAT FEED'S YOU 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
I have been following your channel for a while and I always had negative thoughts about Mallorca but you have given some positive things about it and learned a lot of things that you can do without going to where tourists generally go to. I don't drink alcohol nor do I go clubbing but you have showed some really interesting places around the island that I really liked and I was planning to go there probably in September but with the chaos that is happening right now, I think I will skip it for now - I'm off to Malaysia and Indonesia within the next couple of weeks, and SE Asia is generally my favourite region to travel even though I do love the Mediterranean
Gutted, picked PP for a big family holiday with relatives from Australia chose PP as the beach is great for our 18 month old with the umbrellas n loungers, but to have to rent and carry even more stuff not brilliant, been doing Mallorca twice a year for years but maybe it’s time to branch out
Just came back from Puerto Pollensa - locals were fantastic, absolute diamonds very different to Tenerife which I hoisted 3 months ago...Puerto Pollensa very welcoming ❤
I feel worried about all these chairs beeing bought every single week and then what? Left as garbage? If re-used that would feel ok like when families left inflatables in the hotel reception which were then reused as many times as possible instead of people buying new ones! I'm also not liking the idea of lack of toilets by the beaches...
It’s an absolute disgrace Alex. PP is a resort that attracts the older holiday maker as a 70 year old who has been visiting PP for nearly 40 years. I have angina and couldn’t possibly be carrying beach chairs about. Somebody needs sacking for this debacle.
I've just come back from there, going back again on Wednesday its better, no one coming and harrasing you and you can just lay on the beach? I see no problem you can buy an umbrella from across the road. It's not a big deal and has its plusses. All the locals are friendly and was perfect done believe the daily mail.
Wow put me off coming to majorca stick to tenerife I think
3 месяца назад+1
Thanks so much for the update Alex, disappointing for us beach lovers, will be heading to Spar. Waited all year to return to Pollensa so will make the best of it, keep up the good work and thanks again 😊
Hola Alex just such a shame about the Beaches with no sunbeds must be getting worse I hope Cala vinyes beach is ok be there in August. Thanks again for your update Alex
Hi Alex, the local council has to be very careful they don't price themselves out of the holiday market. I love the island and first visited over 35 years ago and have been coming back ever since. I truly hope the day never comes when I have to say enough is enough. Ps I'm in Alcudia Sunday, staying in Siesta1 where Andrew lives 😂
Ok ,I've seen it all so hear is my perspective. 70% of the beach should be free of sun beds and beach umbrellas, and not block access to the water. They should also be free for residents to use. I appreciate that the guys that rent them have a job to do and the more they rent,the more money they make but the beach should be easily accessible to all that want to use it. I've seen sunbeds around hotel swimming pools not being used at all. And are free to use by the holiday makers. Sunbed wars and the high prices charged for them must be a thing of the past, if the beaches can be enjoyed by all. Sorry for filling up your comment section Alex but well done for highlighting this problem again. 😊 ⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱
Never wanted a sun bed. Just wanted some space on the beach.

Thanks for the update. What with sewage problem last season Puerto Pollensa authorities aren’t covering themselves in glory. Tamarells restaurant on the beach must be furious.
I forgot to include that clip - Tamarells is a permanent structure (a restaurant not a beach bar) - it’s open . I’ll be back up there v soon tho
Thanks for the updates Alex . A real shame it’s such a lovely beach and there driving people away from the area and Mallorca.
Who wants to go on holiday where they have to pay out for extras they can’t take back home with them - on top of that not feeling welcome - go where you’re going to be appreciated - if you have time look elsewhere in time for 2025

It’s more an issue for the elderly and those with accessibility issues who cant lug sunbeds or get up from the sand

Keeping a very close eye on this as I'm due to fly to the island 19th June. I hope things are sorted by then.
Excellent video Alex fantastic updates. That shed you were outside has double the amount of sun beds around the back over and above the ones you could see 😢
Oh my goodness, and I bet there were some inside too! And thanks Tommy!
What a strange year it has been. Lets hope they really do get things organised. The lack of toilet facilities is probably the worst thing.
Thank you Alex for the update, Looks like we will be sat on our towels on polenca beach next week ! Still can’t wait for the sun. It June and the heating has been back on in Blackpool.
This is so sad. It’s Sun Bedlam. Fortunately we are in Soller and the hotel apartment has a great view over the harbour , so we will not require a Sunbedlam. Might see you there, Alex. 👍👍
18.50 Euros a day for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella in nearby Alcudia, last month.
No option to rent for half a day, either.
An absolute own goal, do they not want tourists on an island that is based on tourism.
Hmm this would deffo put me off booking a holiday here
Regret booking my first ever trip to Majorca now, might try to change my holiday and go to Turkey 😢😢
I would.
Don’t be daft it’s a stunning island and they make you very welcome ,don’t believe all the hype
Hi Alex. Thanks for the update, we are going to puerto pollensa on 25th of June so we are hoping it will be sorted by then🤞 Thanks again
You’re paying a tourist tax in Majorca and they won’t even open a public toilet?
I won’t be going back there. Mainland from now on.
Currently in Puerto Pollenca and due to windy weather the beach is a bit dangerous especially for children with purchased umbrellas flying all over the place. Those responsible should be ashamed of themselves . Really annoyed !!!
Oh my goodness, that's a very good point in this weather, re the brollies... I just hope noone got hurt the past few days..
Just to say at the end of the day someone is losing a lot of money 💰
The way they are performing could cause them to go out of business.
Pollensa and Alcudia always had the sewerage problem stinks all day no no from me ever again.
I’m going to Calla Millor next week.
I really hope this continues, sun beds on the beach are a total rip off.
Give me a beach full of towels and bring your own sun shade, any day. 👍
This is such an informative video Alex. IRS sad that you have to report this news though. Great interview and the bit at the end OMG!
Is it the same in alcudia Alex no sun beds
Fantastic Video. Well Done.
The average person can now no longer afford Majorca, getting ripped off by 3 star hotels charging 5 star prices !
With the anti tourism sentiment and greed (sunbeds €70 per day!) it won’t be long before Mallorca starts crying poverty as people go elsewhere. Vote with your wallet people…

Gap in the market for cheap beach chairs, or just buy a towel from the hard working beach shops.
Just how can you have a paperwork issue on an Island where you depend on such a short holiday season? Good job I don't do the beach sizzle. So, you think they'll capitalise on scarcity?
I just feel sorry for all the elderly and disabled visitors wanting a little beach time... it's a bit rubbish to say the least.
Anyone know if there are sny of these issues in alcudia heading over in August. T.i.a
My advice for tourist ? Don't pay where you're not wanted or welcome, go somewhere else where tourists are appreciated and welcomed.

Dont go , go to greece, cheap, better food , better beaches, nice people, this lady is pro mallorca, all red tape , Spain is a red tape country 😂
Spains loss is turkeys gain
If not welcome don’t go 👎
the reason is the euros be on next week for a month.

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun don’t worry I’m unsubscribing and I’ll never come back to your channel. You seem offended by my reasonable comment. Tourists need to fight fire with fire and change their holiday destination PERIOD. You should adopt a similar hard line and you might have more subscribers tbh
Not a problem just choose somewhere else just sounds all too trouble to be honest, carry on like this and the issue of tourism will go away. No tourist no problem.
3:40 'trying to accelerate the process' (of approving sunbeds on the beach) - in June...just laughable beauracracy!
….as we edge towards July
Thanks for the update Alex what an unbelievable attitude the authorities have and how much money are they losing, hopefully sorted by September 😊
Spanish 🇪🇸 will soon be pleading for us BRITISH 🇬🇧 to come back when their ECONOMY COLLAPSES nobody could have told the Spanish 🇪🇸 DON'T BITE THE HAND ✋ THAT FEED'S YOU 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
We are arriving on the 13th . Good job we don't normally use the beach ⛱️⛱️
Shocking, they don’t deserve holidaymakers who spend a lot of money and keep the island afloat.
I’m here now and the access to the beach with the pram is a real problem. And it is not very busy down there
How can I put it, sunbed wars 😂 you made me laugh
LOL, it's a thing!!!!
Give small-minded people power and they will abuse that power. Petty very petty.....
It's just such an unusual situation!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun it is, just put the sunbeds out...👍
@@kfckillie1 and open the toilets!! (And put the disabled access ramps down ) !
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun yes, yes of course. I find the whole situation, starting with MSM lies to sunbeds all very sad....
I have been following your channel for a while and I always had negative thoughts about Mallorca but you have given some positive things about it and learned a lot of things that you can do without going to where tourists generally go to. I don't drink alcohol nor do I go clubbing but you have showed some really interesting places around the island that I really liked and I was planning to go there probably in September but with the chaos that is happening right now, I think I will skip it for now - I'm off to Malaysia and Indonesia within the next couple of weeks, and SE Asia is generally my favourite region to travel even though I do love the Mediterranean
Sounds lovely ! Have a fab time !
Thanks for this update, Alex. I go on holiday to escape this sort thing! That toilet block needs a haircut...!
Gutted, picked PP for a big family holiday with relatives from Australia chose PP as the beach is great for our 18 month old with the umbrellas n loungers, but to have to rent and carry even more stuff not brilliant, been doing Mallorca twice a year for years but maybe it’s time to branch out
Good for them for fighting over tourism.
Just came back from Puerto Pollensa - locals were fantastic, absolute diamonds very different to Tenerife which I hoisted 3 months ago...Puerto Pollensa very welcoming ❤
Thanks for leaving this comment
Thanks for the update Alex! I'm arriving on Saturday so just ordered a beach pillow to make things a bit more comfy when sunbathing!
Hi Alex when we were there a few years ago, we bought our beds and umbrellas from a charity shop in the resort, very reasonable price, hope this helps
I feel worried about all these chairs beeing bought every single week and then what? Left as garbage? If re-used that would feel ok like when families left inflatables in the hotel reception which were then reused as many times as possible instead of people buying new ones! I'm also not liking the idea of lack of toilets by the beaches...
I’ll bring an update about this !
It’s an absolute disgrace Alex. PP is a resort that attracts the older holiday maker as a 70 year old who has been visiting PP for nearly 40 years. I have angina and couldn’t possibly be carrying beach chairs about. Somebody needs sacking for this debacle.
It is such just a ridiculous state of affairs
I've just come back from there, going back again on Wednesday its better, no one coming and harrasing you and you can just lay on the beach? I see no problem you can buy an umbrella from across the road. It's not a big deal and has its plusses. All the locals are friendly and was perfect done believe the daily mail.
Great information Alex thank you
Wow put me off coming to majorca stick to tenerife I think
Thanks so much for the update Alex, disappointing for us beach lovers, will be heading to Spar. Waited all year to return to Pollensa so will make the best of it, keep up the good work and thanks again 😊
Fingers crossed we'll get an update soon!
Not looking good for tourists.
This is affect elderly and disabled visitors more than anyone... it's just very sad to be honest.
Hola Alex just such a shame about the Beaches with no sunbeds must be getting worse I hope Cala vinyes beach is ok be there in August. Thanks again for your update Alex
I will pop by there at some point - I haven’t made any content there !
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun that’s great news thanks again
Hi Alex, the local council has to be very careful they don't price themselves out of the holiday market. I love the island and first visited over 35 years ago and have been coming back ever since. I truly hope the day never comes when I have to say enough is enough. Ps I'm in Alcudia Sunday, staying in Siesta1 where Andrew lives 😂
Just got home and not sure if I want to look. Your inbox is going to be full up to make room for my comment. Is the beach quiet and roomy Alex?. :)
Always got time for your comments Glyn!
Ok ,I've seen it all so hear is my perspective. 70% of the beach should be free of sun beds and beach umbrellas, and not block access to the water. They should also be free for residents to use. I appreciate that the guys that rent them have a job to do and the more they rent,the more money they make but the beach should be easily accessible to all that want to use it. I've seen sunbeds around hotel swimming pools not being used at all. And are free to use by the holiday makers. Sunbed wars and the high prices charged for them must be a thing of the past, if the beaches can be enjoyed by all. Sorry for filling up your comment section Alex but well done for highlighting this problem again. 😊 ⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱⛱
