Couple gobsmacked and thought 'something was wrong' after receiving bill at Ibiza beach club
A couple were left in shock after they received an eye-watering bill at a beach club in Ibiza.
Federica and Giuseppe - who blog their travels over on social media as @ilmioviaggioanapoli, said they thought 'something must have been wrong' after the bill landed on their table.
The pair, from Italy, were visiting the Cala Bassa Beach Club, which is located on the Sant Josep beach in Ibiza.

While Ibiza isn't the cheapest spot for a holiday, Federica and Giuseppe admitted they were shocked when their bill racked up at €400 (£343) which consisted of €40 (£34) for sun beds, €160 (£137) for one bottle of champagne and €200 (£171) on food.
The pair revealed how they ended up spending so much on their lunch, explaining what they ordered at the beach club.
“Something is wrong here, because I paid more to be here for a few hours, than on the flight to visit the island," said Giuseppe.
While the pair ordered a huge seafood paella for their main, they also forked out on some Iberian ham.
People were pretty blown away by the video, while others weren't surprised at all.
One wrote: "Welcome to Ibiza."
While another said [translated]: “Thanks now I know where NOT to go."
LADbible has reached out to Cala Bassa Beach Club for comment.
One bar in Mykonos has become famous for its rather pricy menu, with some tourists left baffled (and out of pocket) after ordering from the beachfront eatery.
In fact, a pair of holidaymakers were left fuming after being allegedly charged £690 for just two drinks.
The tourists visited DK Oyster in Platys Gialos, Mykonos, and according to the review on TripAdvisor, were told they could use the beach beds for free, so long as they ordered something.
Meanwhile, in 2023, American tourist Amber Pace visited DK Oyster with her friend Aubrey when they decided to try the food. However, they didn't expect to pay so much for it.
Amber told The Sun: "I just saw the price £17 (€20) for the fried calamari I got, and my friend got the king crab legs that said £28 (€32).
"Our server gave us a paper receipt that said £85 (€98) for fried calamari and £160 (€185) for king crab legs. We nearly lost it."
Dimitrios Kalamaras, DK Oyster's manager, previously said: "Our sunbeds require minimum consumption, so we encourage all visitors to check the menus before placing their orders.
"I would like to note that our menus are displayed on blackboards near the entrance, showing the prices of our food and drinks to keep our guests informed."
He added: "In DK Oyster, we have advertised in the ways we consider suitable for our restaurant, and we will not succumb to the influencers who have been attracted to the beautiful island of Mykonos.
"We believe that the value of the offered experience is high and we have no intention to explain why we charge more than a supermarket or a traditional taverna, which can be quite wonderful but is surely a completely different concept than ours."
