Title: Watch out for the Umbrella man!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: P.G. on August 20, 2008, 06:19:48 PM
Watch out for the Umbrella man!!!!!!!!!!!!

This man not Greek behaving as the Arnold Schwarzenegger who is asking the money for the Umbrella in the beach (approx in front of AMMOS/PORTOFINO).

He ask me for an umbrella 7.5 euro even if I was only staying 1.5 houres.

Some other people told me that the normal price is 2.5 euro. I was with my child of 3 mounth so he descover that he could ask me the money because i really need the umbrella in this moment.

The day after I was buying an umbrella for 5.5 euro and I still have it for the next year.

As for the donuts man it is good to warning the other arillas lover.

WATCH OUT FOR THE UMBRELLA MAN!!!!!!

Thank you for this warning to all. Because Wegg and I only ever stay 90 minutes on the beach we have the same problem as you.

It is always better to take your own umbrella & sit on the sand if you are not staying,

For people who stay on the beach all day it may be different.

It was good to meet you both and that little bundle of fun who looked at peace with the world.

Stay Well

Wow. The luxury of an umbrella. As the only family member with a love of Arillas's beautiful beach i am deemed 'lucky' to be bought a beach mat for my daily jaunt. (I have known my generous husband to give me a second hand one out of a bin in the past).  This has to taken WITHOUT towel and brought back and hosed down before it goes anywhere near the apt. and the reason I am marrying this man again next year is WHAT???

because there's something about him you love. Have had another e-mail from Clifford and he is going to pass us on to the new Priest in Feburary so it looks like our blessing will be going ahead as well. Viv

So what exactly were people charged for their beds and brollies?

When we sat on the beach we were charged seven and a half Euros every day.....but the couple next to us were only charged five Euros....(Was it because she was topless?)

We paid 6 euros for two beds and one umbrella at the Costas side of the beach.

Right! I understand now! It's 6 Euros on the Costa's side of the beach, 7 and a half Euros on the Grazilla side of the beach, unless you go topless, then it's 5 Euros!

I don't believe it!

Isn't it something like e2.50 for each bed and brolly and e1.00 for those plastic tables?

The rare times we did hire the beds we had our own brolly, on hand, if needed and the guy took his away. He didn't mind and, as already said we were only around for a max of two hours so rarely used the brolly anyway

We were charged 6 euro for 2 sunbeds and 1.50 euro for the Brolly
not bad considering the prices we have been charged in other resorts

Our one ever sunbed during the two weeks in July was 3 euros. Jen didn't have an umbrella.  Me? I don't use them.

having just got back i can tell you it should be 7.50 for two sunbeds with umberella but be careful of the new boy on the right of the jetty he tries to charge 9 euro to some people.
