I know Horacio and Shannon personally and they still charge me 5€, so I think you can assume that a spirit and a mixer is 5€ to everyone. The bars in the marina are cheaper (usually 4.50€) but remember that you get no tapas with spirits (Coco Beach gave us some really nice frozen fruit), nor ant entertainment - again Coco Beach are providing Fire displays, DJ and music at the weekend, and ...... Coco Beach is effectively a 'late night' bar. It is 'competing' with the Music Bars, where you will usually pay more than 5€ for your drink. I know your daughter left around 10 on Thursday so if they didn't get to see the Fire display or 'benefit' from the ability of being able to stay out on the beach late drinking then 5€ is more than 4.50€ in the marina, but in our case by the time we got there our options for a drink were the cocktail bars in the Marina or the music bars, so the 5€ was a fair price. We will be there again tonight (late) so maybe we will see her :-) A little harsh.

My daughter and her friend seem to be getting ripped off at Coca Beach. 5 euros per drink! It doesn't seem to matter what you have it's 5 euros, they must hear the english accent and put the prices up. The bars at the Marina are a safer bet. A word of warning to English holiday makers.
