    Hey guys, just thought I would share some of my experience with you. I'm 17, turning 18 this July and I've been researching working in Magaluf this summer for several months now. I came very close several times to booking with the various companies, playaway, sunkiss, and airpro. Playaway, for example, came to a total of €658 not including flights for 4 weeks leaving on July 16th. I've come to the conclusion that this is a complete waist of my hard earned money, so I decided to do some more research myself. I messaged BCM nightclub on facebook and they provided me with email addresses so I can secure a job there. I'm only looking to be out there for about a month from mid July. I can get flights for less than €300. Is anyone interested in sharing an apartment over there or something? I'd rather not stay on my own and we could organise our own nights out and stuff to make up for not being with the companies, just a suggestion! Feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

    I'd be interested in this too! I'm a student from Dublin, 19, looking to head late May / early June possibly?

    Thinking the same myself was gonna go tenerife but said magaluf would be better craic. Thinking of going over for that Irish takeover thing in mallorca rocks have a laugh and look for a job while doing that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 johnjames92


    Im going over on at the start of may. Can't wait now its going to be great craic, Im sure I will run into all of ye out there at some stage! We may organise a big piss up!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Ailish Mc Kenna


    Heyy- Im a student 22 from DIT final year! Sooo happy to hear Irish peeps are going over to work! I am booking with Playaway as am heading on my own so dont mind paying a bit extra! Only thing is I wont be finished exams till late so am either heading 28th of May of 18th of June! Not too sure which date to choose as of yet! Is anyone heading over that late??

    Going with 3 other people, for 3 months, would it be better to book an apartment and flights and go scouting for jobs, or to sign up with Sunkiss or one of those companies? Are they legit?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Craig93


    Book an appartment and flights from what I've heard, Sunkiss and that will charge a lot of money and do hardly anything for you

    Book a cheap holiday apartment for a week or so and go scouting for jobs, so of those companies like playaway and sunkiss are rip offs charge you a rip off registration fee. Im not sure which company it is but they take a percentage of your earnings pluuuuuuuus you're not guaranteed a job anymore than if you went around yourself looking. You'll save yourself some money and you'll have more control if you do it yourself. As far as accommodation for the 3 months there is very little you can actually do about that till you're there.
