Whats Magaluf like

[bazak1]

hiya,

i'm off to Magaluf soon ( next week in fact) and i would like to know if any of you have been there and what it's like.

we've always gone to Benidorm ( dont get me started on the so called Benidorm documentary that was on wed, cus i think they could have done better with that) but this year the kids wanted to try somewhere different. i've looked on the holiday reviews on this site but cant find any info.

Dunno, I have heard its quite nice, but i suppose its like everywhere, it depends on where you go, I love Lazarote, but hate Puerto del Carmen

[bazak1]

Never been to either, but know people who love both

I went to Magaluf a couple of years ago, in April, on a hen do - personally I thought it seemed more geared towards clubbers rather than families, but that might just be because it was the start of the clubbing season, rather than the 'traditional' holiday season

Thank you PJ, that does seem like an interesting site. i'll study it more tomorrow when i have more time.

Yes i've been told that certain times of the year it's more geared to clubbers ( and our elder kids wont mind that) but perhaps it calms down a bit around this time of year.

Magaluf is fantastic - great beaches, great bars & restaurants and the clubs for the youngsters and the pubs/bars for the elders. Enjoy the holiday - it should still be nice and warm.

The prices are not really that much diferent from here for drinks, food is slightly better and taxis are ok price wise.

 

I thought the Benidorm programme has the potential to be quite good - it shows how hard it is to make a living abroad, we were going to move to Tenerife a few years ago but just couldn't afford it.

are you 18-30? lol

[bazak1]

Thanks Gizmo111. i'm loving the sound of all that, and really looking forward to our break.

pinkduchess, nooooooo, i'm older than that. i'm more into watching entertainment (groups, comedians etc ), than bouncing myself around a dance floor for eight hours.

No sure if this wa for me or bazak - but I'm certainly not in the 18-30 range.

I think you're going to the wrong place. i went there 22 years ago and still have the hangover!

[bazak1]

And the half naked totty laying around the street after a good boozing session. You will have fun there Bazak, although it's been about 5 years since i was there.

providing you steer away from the Strip in the evening, you should avoid most of the half naked, puke covered totty [trust me, I wasn't either when I went lol] - although, most of the half naked peeps were the ones trying to get you into the bars [tiny shorts, bras, corsets, and fur boots??? wtf lol]

My friend and her sister went to Magaluf, came back last week. I asked them what it was like and they said they didn't know. They got up at 10pm everyday showered, dressed, left at 11.30pm to sit in a bar drinking till the sun came up. The sun got too hot so they slept all day again. So if anyone actually knows what it is really like there please tell me so I can let them know what they missed:D Cheers

[bazak1]

Not long now.

They've had thunderstorms over there, so keep your fingers crossed i got some decent weather

[ukaviator]

When are you going Bazak?

[bazak1]

This saturday. I need a rest !
