"Movie cast of 'Goodbye Germany' arrange a large-scale agreement on Mallorca - "This is our future""
Steff Jerkel, one of the owners of the popular "Tiki Beach" in Cala Ratjada, Mallorca, has a new business venture on the horizon. Jerkel and his partner, Peggy Jerofke, are considering the purchase of a rundown hotel with 34 rooms, with the aim of converting it into long-term affordable housing for their seasonal workers.
The couple's decision to pursue this venture comes amidst challenging times for "Tiki Beach." The start of the new season has been fraught with staff shortages, technical issues, and growing uncertainty. Despite these setbacks, Jerkel remains determined to pursue his dream of owning a hotel.
The hotel, located in a prime spot in Cala Ratjada, has been vacant, leading Jerkel to suspect there might be underlying issues. However, after an interior inspection, Jerkel described the condition as "better than I thought." His partner, Peggy, remains skeptical, expressing concerns about the property's true condition and value.
The asking price for the hotel is one million euros. Jerkel plans to consult a building surveyor before making a final decision to ensure the property is a sound investment. The outcome of this evaluation will be featured in upcoming episodes of "Goodbye Germany" on Vox or in advance in the RTL-mediathek.
Affordable housing on Mallorca is scarce, and Jerkel sees this as an opportunity to fill a gap in the market. He plans to retire from the gastronomy business in five years and focus entirely on the real estate sector.
"Tiki Beach," located on the promenade of Cala Ratjada, has become a popular tourist spot and a fixture in the island's gastronomy scene. If successful, the hotel purchase could provide long-term affordable housing for Jerkel's employees, benefiting them in the long term.
Jerkel remains pragmatic about the run-down condition of the hotel, believing it has real potential for his future business. Peggy, however, has expressed her concerns, experiencing a headache due to the property's current state.
The progress of Jerkel's hotel purchase will be documented in new episodes of "Goodbye Germany," offering viewers a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities that come with entrepreneurship.
