    Hi all,

    As the title says myself and about 10 other lads want to plan a summer holiday. Somewhere with
    • sun
    • good nightlife - pubs/clubs
    • women
    • decent attractions - water parks etc
    • not too expensive as some of the lads are in college
    Anyway as we are a fairly diverse age group(ranging from 19-27) with the majority in the 21-23 age bracket what resorts would you think are best? As of now our best choices seem to be Magaluf, Santa Ponsa, Salou or Playa des ingles. Do our choices look fairly good or should we be looking at somewhere different?

    hey dude i went to IOS (greek Island) back in 03 and had a mental time lots of badness and madness but flights can be expensive we went dublin-prague-athens then a boat.
    However myself and the missus were staying in a quiet part of tenerife last summer for a fortnight and we ventured into the madness for a few days and all I could think about was-Jesus this it be great crack with the lads.....
    Accomodation is so cheap there as well as booze food etc and you've got all the activities like jet skiing etc..
    If you want true madness rent an apartment in Americas.
    Hope this helps and dont get in any taxis with strange men....

    Cheers man. Think IOS is going to be a bit too expensive for some of the lads but will definetly look into Tenerife.

    Pattaya looks amazing but is too expensive im afraid. Thanks for the suggestion, keep them coming.

    Sunny Beach would suit you. Real cheap, and it's got everything you are looking for. Go Wizzair via Luton for cheap flights. Bourgas is the airport.

    Sunny Beach added to the list of possibilities. Looks great to me but i have heard that there isn't much to do there, is this true?

    Based on your list, it has all of them. To be honest, on those lads/sun holidays, I generally spent most of the night out drinking/clubbing etc. and slept and lay around in the sun during the day. Sight seeing or doing anything like that was never on my list of things to do.

    By the way, the best sun holidays I had were in Aya Napa, Cyprus. Great spot (if a bit more expensive that some of the places in Spain).

    Cheers for the info HOS, Napa is on the list but it's behind all of those mentioned in the OP because of the price.

    I'm going to Salou myself with 6 of the lads.(Can't F*****g wait) We got it for 500 a head (flights, insurance and accommodation) through a travel agent although I reckon if you shop around you would get it for 450ish? Have a look at this as well....http://www.partyrocksalou.com/

    Barcelona has a great beach, nobody mentions it.

    Cheers for all the advice lads, finally settled on Crete. Got a fairly good deal.

    Hersonissos, we were told everywhere else would be fairly quiet until July.

    Going to Malia with a group of over 20 in a weeks time.

    The more reviews I read the more nervous I am about the levels of violence, corruption and thievery that seems to be going on. From what I can gather the main strip is a hotspot for random fighting, the PR's outside clubs and on the beach during the day time are relentless and the gipsy problem is huge- with children pickpocketting drunk revelers. Also the hotels seem to either not allow you to bring guests back, or charge you if you do?

    Has anyone got any experience partying in Malia that they can share?
