Pez

Great!:D anyone else been there around this time

Latchy

Was there 2 years ago in augest with familiy and stayed at the sun wing hotel .There are two main shopping / eating areas with plenty of variety and quite reasonable prices.If you get the chance to go on the texas wild west show then do so, its a great night out . Another thing to look for if shopping is the prices,,,,,, the shop next to the one your in might be selling the same item for 5 euros less, and the sellers like to bargin with you so look around first , and remember avoid the time share/scratch card guy/gals like the plague,

cheers .

any1 else? lol

savage spot mate!

was there last year and the year before. it was better the first year because u got pulled into bars and plyd with free booze! but the laws changed apparently and this didnt happen as openly the secound time we were there

Cream was a cool club, its near the english centre, prices are very close to home in that one tho!

have a great one we were there end of August and the place was jumping.

I was there last Yr and had a great laugh - stayed in the Green fields apts, straight across from the Irish Center.
Pubs are good and there are some great ones in the English center.

Watch out for the African Ladies selling bracelets - they WILL Fleece you if given half a chance.

One word of Warning though - DON'T Go near the pool after a night out.
Accidents can happen very easily - and did when I was there

But apart from that it is a good spot if you are looking for a fun booze filled holiday

lol!! where abouts is the english centre? in kasbah or anything?
ill look out for the african ladies :eek:

Pez

any know where abouts it is?

mik_da_man

Yep the English center is kasbah.
It's about a 10 Min walk from the Irish center (when not fully sober;) )

The green field apts are pretty good. In the heart of the Irish center and were kept very well when I was there.
The pool and bar is nice too.

Is a group of you going?
Lads / lassies

I have some advice from the lads - Via PM

theres 2 girls and 5 lads going with us.......

just got quoted €610 for the green park apartments, know what they are like?

im intrigued....send me the PM:D

mik_da_man

The Green Park are fine.
Just beside the Green Field but AFAIK the pool isn't much use (if they have one)
When I was booking I asked a few people and they said Green Field were the best.
The were a bit more expensive but worth it IMO.

Defo go on the Booze Cruize if you get a chance it's a real good laugh.
There is a half decent Go-Karting track a short trip away too, good for a break from the boozing.
You can go on a off road trip on Quads which is good Also Para gliding and jet ski's are a must.

PM Sent;)

Stayed there last year! It's actually in Maspalomas but it's only about €5 in a cab to Playa De Ingles and would be too far to walk.

There is a bus from outside that brings you to the beach for free.

Food in the Hotel is alright but there is a lovely Chinese about 5 mins Walk down the Road.

The Hotel Staff aren't the friendliest either and don't seem to like opening the doors after 1am ha ha especially to drunks!

Weather was absolutely lovely!

There is nothing to do in Maspalomas so you will need to go into Playa!

rooney8

ah cheers, ye because were going for 3 weeks we didnt want to be in the middle of it all for 3 weeks !! our heads would be melted!! any recommendations of where to rent out quads by the way??? cheers

Pez

haha! How much is entrance into the clubs?? and wat 1s are the best?:D cheap drink etc? lol

Pez

anyone?

dublad23

Well I hung out a lot in the Irish Centre and this was last July and we were dragged in and ploughed with free Drink.

Different Offers mainly buy one get two

One place was buy one get three and then a guy came around with a bottle of peach schnapps and poured it down our gobs ha ha!

I dont think they have cut down that much on free drink

Keep in that area and you can go out on less than €40 a night easy!

Clubs differ - They all want to get people in so it's usually around €10 or less with drink offers!!

I forgot names of everywhere to be honest but there is a goodish one across from the Irish Centre and next to the Greenfield Aprts ??

The Yumbo Centre is ok - They have Free Fall and other entertainment - Very Gay Though but sure it's a bit of a laugh! Lots of families with young kids though there too!

DO0GLE

Don't buy any electronic goods from any of the shops over there. Bloody con men. Went to buy a camcorder which seemed dirt cheap, as soon as the cash was paid, they then demanded a CE tax to be paid aswell. After alot of arguing and hardship, we got our money back. Also witnessed pick pocketing.
Some dodgy people going aroud but a great holiday for a young people looking for good nightlife.
