I guess the question I have in this whole thread is why are you travelling with this couple? It seems that you have different interests and tastes which makes for a difficult vacation experience. Personally, when I spend thousands on a vacation, I make sure there is nothing that is going to spoil my good time. My wife and I cruised recently with her family. We all did our own thing during the day. If we wanted to do the same thing, we did it together. If not, then we went separately. The only rule was that we all had dinner together. It worked out very well, and we're already thinking about our next vacation.

But as they say - what's done is done. Since you are vacationing with them, everyone's got to make compromises somewhere. The taxi to and from the beach will be the same cost. The fares are government regulated, so they have to be. Perhaps he could compromise and just buy drinks at the beach. The difference between the excursion and going to the beach independently should be enough for him to have plenty to drink and still spend the same amount of money.

Note to Camelia: I apologize - I misread the statement from your post.
