You can dress it up all you want, truth is numbers are down and the main reason being people can’t afford the prices they are charging for the hotels plus food and drinks, your paying 5 star prices for 3 star hotels.
it is shocking, last year our 4 night holiday in september cost £1200 for 3 of us, full package, all inclusive This year so far for same week in september is looking at 1600
Thanks Alex great video fantastic to see Magaluf getting busy especially benny hills which is always great value. Counting down to August 2nd time over this year. My happy place ❤
yep we have the wind as well temp up in single figures heating on, the sun made an appearance, the sky cryed a bit around 9 oclock this morning but fluffy clouds came in, it ended up quite pleasant just nice for the dogs lol
Good Evening Alex. I really Loved seeing the busy Bars/ Pubs and Restaurants, Lovely to see people eating and drinking. It was really Lovely to see a Vibrant Night Life begining. What a Great Atmosphere Alex. I really Enjoyed your Relaxing walk about video Alex. Magaluf what an Incredible mixture of Fun and Great Enjoyment for Everyone. This is what Life should be all about. Go out, have a Great time and make new Friends. Thank you Alex.
First class video Alex. It’s great to see The resort looking busy at night. Although I would be a lot happier having a strawberry daiquiri in one of the beach bars than being on the strip. ( it must be a age thing) 😂
Great video - sadly the adverse publicity surrounding tourism in both Spain and the islands has stopped us from booking a holiday this year - we normally rotate between Majorca and the main land, but really concerned about the anti - tourist campaign 😢
Alex, I have just watched a video from DW News,a German broadcast. They showed the poverty Mallorcans are living in. I was shocked. Why is the government not doing something about the living conditions of their people?
Hi Alex, thanks for talking about that video. The "Majorcans" he samples are not Mallorcans or Spanish, they are immigrants of various nationalities who come to work and try to live in those deplorable conditions. If you knew the society and the Spaniards you could differentiate them. I have experienced situations, for example, that all the waiters were from Pakistan and the tourists thought they were Spanish. On the other hand, this situation is a consequence precisely of the society of mass tourist consumption. The prices will be higher but the salaries are lower, without labor contracts And therefore social security. That's why Spaniards haven't done these jobs for a long time; immigrants like video workers do them. That's why the next time you go to bars and restaurants, look at the people who are working there, in those conditions for the entertainment of tourists. Don't complain about the prices, you can pay them, while those poor workers don't.
Thanks Alex. I feel homesick now. Magaluf looked great on the sunshine island. This would have made a good livestream with the calm weather. Lol. Wish those prices were in pesatas though. Still trying to spend mine from my last holiday 😂
Thanks for all your info regarding PP Alex we have rented chairs and brollies from were you mentioned but this year will be our 28th visit to the place we Love but sadly its our last after what they have done this year regarding the beech 😢
Thanks for this! Booked Magaluf with the kids in aug and was a bit worried it was a bad choice but this video gives me piece of mind! We are staying right at the top of what they call cardiac hill 😅
15 euros for chicken croquets in Follies beach restaurant is an absolute joke, as I said in previous posts Mallorca has had it’s day and now is just being very greedy it will show in numbers as it already is, I bet not many people rush back to this restaurant after they get there bill at the end😳😳😳
Alex am at Palma airport atm flying home to Birmingham on Jet 2. The flooding in palma has shut the half of passport control departing hall. Down to 4 lanes. Then Duty Free shop after passport control completely shut due to flooding earlier as noted in the sun newspaper. There are a number of huge delays / cancellations tonight. Jet 2 seem to be least affected from what I can see.
Can't wait! Me and my mates are coming here for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. Bit worried about or hotel though, tent calvia beach, it's just opened and the reviews look pretty bad.
WOW 11 Euro for a cocktail as Ive said on previous videos we are not coming over this year its outpriced us but I have to say it does look nice and I will miss the place
Mallorca has become extremely expensive to stay for hols and the weather has become so random there I mean it really looks cold on this vid 😢 I think Tenerife and old town Benidorm are the places to go for which is a shame for me as I love Palma Nova beach my fave Spanish beach of all. 🌈❤️🏴 I don’t mean to be negative but I would be gutted being sat at a restaurant with that weather 🌈❤️🏴 Kev the Scotsman is on his own so he can move around getting cheap rooms xx I have a large family so need to book a package deal which I normally do going direct to hotel but even that ain’t cheaper doing anymore 🌈❤️🏴
Hi Alex Is it true about the disruption at the airports due to rain? Any recommendations for travellers in general as to where to go if their flights are ever cancelled or delayed? For instance green spaces near the airport & places to freshen up out side the terminal.
Hadleys club not open Breeza and Daqiri palace not open Folies empty Tom browns was busy but there were still empty tables the one with the wedding party was empty apart from the party… I think it’s a little more than the chefs day off !
Hi, i like the updates, but you need to be more upto date, with the floods in Mallorca and especially the airport, planes couldnt leave the uk, because they couldnt land, still the next day, still no updates or news, just my oponion
Wow. Firstly I didn’t get out there yesterday because not only was it raining but the roads were blocked and flooded so I couldn’t get there. Secondly I’m also a mum so had to do mum stuff. It is only me running this channel. Today again im currently working - can I get there and be back to pick my daughter from school - I don’t know. I hope you understand. Thanks for your opinion tho.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Hi, yes apologies for being abrupt, I appreciate we all have family responsobilities, I wasnt asking for you to drive to the airport, just a quick update on the floods, even from home, and totally agree familly comes first, i genuinly beleive that and try to do that myself, running a business, take care and hope all ok, thanks

😳 That's terrible.. I'm really sorry to hear this....
@edward - I think this could well be their intention...
They don’t want tourists there anymore anyway apparently. Time to go somewhere else
Try saltcoats in scotland very cheap
Some eye watering prices there!
I couldn't believe it to be honest!

Very interesting video Alex. Many thanks, John
Cheers John!

Oh for sure... especially the changes on the beachfront are really noticeable

That's really sad Mark - let's see what happens this Summer. I think it's crunchtime for many this year
Thanks for this! Booked Magaluf with the kids in aug and was a bit worried it was a bad choice but this video gives me piece of mind! We are staying right at the top of what they call cardiac hill 😅
Very interesting, there seems to be a wide range of prices. The strip looks busy to me, actually too busy for me, and it was still earlyish.

Thank goodness they publish their prices though....
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun yes thankfully I bet that price for croquets would bring a tear to your eyes Alex😂😂😂

Hi Alex

These videos are so informative, I appreciate them, but with those prices and many places closed, iffy weather, why would you bother?
The cloud doesn't last long...
It's the wind on this particular video. 😮
Might look busy to you but to me it looks empty… those food menu prices are ridiculous…
All the restaurants are full though!
@@AnnCalverley-vo5fz But there were some that weren’t even open…
@@happybunny8704 Monday - chef’s day off in many places.
Hadleys club not open Breeza and Daqiri palace not open Folies empty Tom browns was busy but there were still empty tables the one with the wedding party was empty apart from the party… I think it’s a little more than the chefs day off !
I’d love to return but it’s become too expensive now.
:(. Have a look for deals out of peak season...
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun I think Kevin has inspired me to go to Benidorm instead 🤦♂️
With new laws and regulations, are the bars to shut earlier due to noise levels and alcohol, or has nothing changed? 🤔
Hello - no the bars won't be shutting early...
Mallorca under a taxi! 😂
On that meant me I wish I was 40 years younger
The weather in the UK is terrible at the moment. We'll done.
I've heard... and it's June!
strip always be quiet at that time alex.
@@TheChrisvige I love the strip
Whats a mocktail?
Hello, its a cocktail but with no alcohol 😊
@@laurabradshaw2264 oh, thats perfect for me as i don't drink alcohol.
Thanks a lot Laura!
Thanks Laura!
