Yeah I know!

Im feeling generous so Il tell ya what I did.

Open up 2 new tabs, in each seperate tab go to Google and put in either apartment.

Click on the map and compare distances.

Simple.

10 minute drive, 25 minute walk.

The Corona Roja is a kip.

I stayed there on my leaving cert holiday. It also featured in ITV Club Reps and on Sky's Brainiac, they conducted experiments to see how dirty the average holiday apartment was. It was dirty, mad stuff growing under the mattress and in the sinks.

Ah it'll do for 9 days, a place to leave my bags and sleep for a few hours, and its cheap enough that I'm hardly expecting anything great!

Kilmuckridge is nice, though a bit parky at this time of year.

Have you considered just staying in your bedroom and cocooning yourself in duct tape?

The Leaving Cert is an exam taken by most Irish kids at the end of their second level education.

In Celtic Tiger times kids used to go to sunny shores, get ****faced and ruin our countries reputation for a week or two to celebrate storing the exam (the important thing was to go before your results so you wouldn't know if you had failed).

Good Times.

You're just going to the wrong parts of spain.

Pretend everything south of Madrid and east of Zaragoza doesn't exist and Spain is lovely.

The East coast is a ****ing **** hole though.

As are the resorts in the Islands.

I been to tenerife too and yeah there can be some god awful spots especially the main strips where the kids drink but there are the adult areas where couples/families/older groups can go for bite to eat, drink, listen to music etc. and in general have a great time. Thinkn of heading to lanzarote this year and ill be avoiding the main strip like the plague.

Non-AH answer: about 600 metres.

AH answer: you and your mates will probably be happier in the Yumbo Centre.

Been to Playa de Ingles loads of times. Its fairly kippy but grand for a lads holiday. You'll be sick of peach snaps when you get back though. Little tip: Dont buy water in clubs, even at buy one get one free. You would get about 10 bottles for the same price in a shop.

I went to the Yumbo centre, it is a kippy shopping centre / club area with many homosexuals performing sex acts on eachother.

A lot of ye don't like Playa Del Ingles, it'll be grand for my leaving cert holiday, were not looking to go for a luxury sightseeing trip or anything!

Playa Del Ingles means "English beach" in spanish, and it lives up to it's name.

It's pretty much brighton off the coast of Africa.

It's full of pissed up British and Irish 18-30 year olds getting off their faces and puking everywhere/generally being dickheads.

If that's what you're after, you'll love it.


Don't expect it to be cheap though, the price of beer over there isn't much cheaper than over here, they know they can charge what they want and the pissed up paddies and poms will pay it.

Playa Des Las Americas England Tenerife ?

"Owight mate you wanna go to twamps ?" "You Buy ! You Buy!" not to mention the west african prostitutes blending in with the night foliage. The resort should either ban english people and introduce apartheid or be blown out of existence. Kip.

Celly Smunt

Good place for a piss up,that's about it.Dont go with less than a grand though,fiercly expensive hole.Crazy golf at 5 in the morning dodging people having sex on the course is always a good laugh.


Also,if you're look as young as I think after doing your leaving cert,chances are you lot will be a target for getting the heads punched off you over there.The place doesn't attract the nicest people.

Reg'stoy

Ah, happy memories of four days there; which is strange considering we went for two weeks.

Is the randy Leprechaun pub still open in the Irish centre, some great nights spent there. Enjoy it OP, fill the room fridge with loads of beer and some water. Look after each other and...ah fcuk it....ride yourself stupid; you'll have some great stories.

Same could be said about any nightclub any where else in the world.

****hole,I believe only one bar is open in the Irish centre,rest all closed down,ghost town I believe.

It is just a place that skangers go on holidays to.

op i went to playa del inglés about 12 years ago after my leaving cert, was a good spot for young people, good craic an all.
Went back to Gran Canaria last year to a much quieter spot at Meloneras with the girlfriend, we took a taxi trip over to Play Del Ingles and all i can say is the place has gone downhill! it's a complete dump now with lots of places closed and very little nightlife!
If you didn't book anywhere yet i'd probably hit Ibiza instead, gorgeous Island that has the madness as well but still has class to the place.

I've heard Ibiza is too expensive though, compared to Playa Del Ingles? And I've heard of a place called Kasbah and Point that are meant to be good, It's only the Irish centre run down?
