How it works
Some beach bars and club-adjacent bars charge €30–50 for single cocktails and do not display prices prominently. The bill arrives far higher than expected and staff insist on cash payment only.
How it works
Beach clubs near Playa d'en Bossa and Cala Comte advertise drinks and sun lounger packages at headline prices but add mandatory service charges, cover fees, and "reservation fees" that can double the final bill. Charges appear in small print on the menu or are added automatically when staff recognize that a table is running a tab. Some venues also mark up bottles of spirits to four times the retail price without clear menu disclosure.
