    Hey,

    We stayed in greenfield apartments in a cluster of hotels where there were all irish people. You will probably be in this area too. Travel outside this area as im sure you want to meet non-irish people.

    Go to a waterpark. Cant remember the name of it, but there was loads of slides,etc.

    Go to a foam party - probably the best night of my life. The foam is like 2 feet over your head and you cant breath.

    Go jet-skiing on the beach - good laugh.

    Hire a car if you can and drive up the mountains. I'd really recommend it as the island is actually really nice. I think your supposed to be over 21 but we werent and we got one off a guy on the street - a bit dodgy perhaps.

    Go karting at a place between Playa del ingles and the airport.

    Buy drink in the supermarkets - much chaper than the clubs/pubs.

    Go for a camel ride on the dunes.

    In the irish area, be prepared for loads of prostitutes, drug dealers, etc. To be honest i found the irish area pretty disgusting. It may have been cleaned up in recent years though.
    Also, dont shake the hand of any african people as they will put on a braclet which you cant take off and make you pay for it.

    Have fun!

    Playa del Ingles is great for Irish.

    Loads of trips to go on... Sioux City (wild west town), Palmitos Park (brilliant wildlife park), Waterparks, great for watersports too...

    Im sure you're rep will tell you all about them... you'll love it - plenty of loose women!

    I was there in march (was there the week that paddys day was on the wednesday) - the water park is called aqua sur its huge! Theres a bus that leaves u right outside it and brings you back because it is halfway up the mountains. Didnt notice any prostitutes/drugs either in the irish centre. The beach is a good laugh too. Also bring plenty of suncream its hotter than anywhere else in spain.. was 30-35 degrees every day I was there

    Go karting at a place between Playa del ingles and the airport
    Nearly killed myself in one of those karts.
    I arrived late and all the protective suits were gon so I had to race in jeans and a t shirt.
    Tried to break the sound barrier but didnt notice a bad turn ,the kart mounted the chicane flipped and landed about 20 feet off the track.
    My shirt was shredded .I'll never go karting again!
    Those karts are mental.

    Dunno why everyone likes this place, I've been twice, its a kip, of course you'll get a ride and drunk,drugged up or whatever you want alright but apart from that the place is run down and kippy not to mention the locals are ignorant and annoying.

    ah promoting drug taking again?
    You really dont set a good example do you?

    Ok, they must have cleaned up the area since I was there. I was there in September 2001 and in an average night out in the irish center I would be asked if i wanted a bl*wjob about 10 times mostly by african women.

    Last I was there in the mid-nineties we got listening to a group who described their hotel as Ballymun by the sea.Late night parties every night, cops being called on a regular basis,hotel clerk had a nervous breakdown.I'd never go near the place in summer, it seemed a real attraction for Dublin lowlifes.
