I hate Spain, much prefer Italy for a holiday.

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 · 26-01-2013 03:05PM

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 · 26-01-2013 03:20PM

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.

.jacksparrow. · 26-01-2013 08:39PM

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

The king of bitches · 26-01-2013 08:50PM

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

KilOit · 26-01-2013 08:58PM

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?

Why don't you just spend a nice cultural weekend touring the galleries of the Montmartre in Paris? the Musee d'Orsey is particularly recommended.

Yeah Ayia Napa does look great, but its all paid for now anyway, and I'm sure it'll be grand-i could post up here saying I'm going on a luxury holiday to Hawaii and you'd still get people telling you how bad it is!

True,

Well, you are going now anyway! It doesn't matter what other peoples experiences here have been.

Go make your own!

You are young, so go have fun!

Where To · 27-01-2013 01:04AM

When I finished my leaving cert I went to the bog to foot turf.

How times have changed.

You're from Cavan, right? The Corona Roja is fine, it's basic, but it's fine. If you are on a lads holiday, it's great, you don't want the shelbourne, too much capacity for expensive damages. I've run up and down the stairs to the top floor of the 'roca a fair few times acting the bollix in years gone by(it has to be the oldest hotel in the canaries). Not exactly luxury, but grand. As you grow a bit older, and still go to the Canaries for the weather etc, you'll graduate down to Puerto Rico(bit nicer), then when you've kids, Taurito(good hotels and pools), and then when you've money, Mogan. i'm at the Mogan stage:) but I've worked my way through all the stages and still love the Canaries, but then I also like Mrs Browns boys.

Eggonyerface · 27-01-2013 01:04AM

Exactly, you'll make your own fun. Few beers and birds.....What more would a group of 18 year old want?

LoopyLolly88 · 27-01-2013 01:06AM

Ive been a few times & was grand,last time was 5-6 years ago so not sure what its like now but would love to go back.

What?! What better way to finish off the educational experience that is the Leveing Certificate than to live the experience that, until now, has only been available to you in classroom texts and online? I guarantee - your friends are all thinking the same thing!
