How much spending money would you take to Majorca for 2 weeks??

[johnbarrowmanlovesme]

I am very close to booking our first holiday abroad in 6 years [gringrin] 2 adults & two dc. How much would you think you would spend in a day? I was thinking at least £50 a day, or am I being totally un-realistic there do you think??

not [gringrin] !!

depends what your holiday is about, are you s/c or hotel?

depends what your expectations are, if you intend eating out every day, breakfast lunch and tea/

£50 minimum, i'd say. It does add up. Yet if it were me I'd be working out the cheapest wya to do everything! Buying large bottles of water and decanting into smaller ones for the beach. saves a hell of alot. making snacks for beach etc...

Bottle of vodka in the room lol!

£50 absolute min it is doable. We always travel v frugally and went to france for 2 weeks at Easter sc. You don't get much for your money with the lousy sterling rate. We managed on £400 a week. Always have a visa or sthing for the unforeseen like parking fines etc.

Yes, s/c. We hope to go back to apartment for lunch on some days then prob eat out most evenings.

Not forgetting wine in the fridge

Thanks IDidntraiseAthief

Thanks Chrysanthamum. So glad to hear that other people can survive on about £50 a day, so we should be able to do it too.

S'illot. Don't know anyone that's been there, not too far from Sa Coma apparently, please tell me it's not an expensive part of Majorca

Haven't been but when we were in France we located a Lidl and shopped there, so maybe you could check online for cheap supoermarkets.

We were there a few weeks ago and a meal for 4 - 2 adults+2 kids - was costing 40-50 euro - that's mains and sometimes a couple of icecreams. Eating out waa quite expensive!

Thanks sunny

We have considered going for 1 week rather than 2 but never feel 1 week is enough, I have looked at doing maybe 10 days instead as a compromise.

When I have priced up A/I it just seems far too expensive to me. Adding up what I think we will spend on food, snacks etc doesn't come anywhere near the extra that you pay for A/I, if you know what I mean

The Hotel I'm probably going to book is in S'illot, Majorca & is called The Played Moreia. It seems to have activities going on & entertainment in the evenings & is walking distance to the beach & also to Sa Coma where I thought it would be nice to stroll down to to have something to eat away from the hotel. I have got a price of around £1,800 for 14 nights which does seem to be a bargain. What do you think sunny?

Thanks for that. I am just going to check the price on that website for the accomodation, the price I have is almost £900 bit of a difference from £250 !

We are in the Cotswolds so quite central really. Birmingham or bristol are probably the easiest to get to from here.

We want to go round about 2nd August, got to be home by 17th August.

I have just looked & the price is coming out at over £1,000. What am I doing wrong?

why do you need to TAKE money?
Just use your card

Can take my card no problem, but still have to pay the card bill with money when we get back

Beach in S'illot is really nice.

Cala D'or is our fave, but tends to be very expensive.

Not so keen on Alcudia
Palma Nova is nice, as long as its away from Magalluf end.

My sister just got back from Majorca. She said it very expensive.

She also said the water tasted a little odd......

I thought we had the bargain of the year there sunny, 2 weeks in sunny Majorca for £250 will have a look at the alcudia one.

Our last holiday abroad was in Cala D'or, it was lovely but accomodation is quite expensive there now so have crossed that one off my list.

I lived in Alcudia for a while also. Much prefer the south of the island (lived in Palma and Palma Nova for quite a while)

Would like to live in Deia (if I had $$$)
