i'm going on a girly holiday this summer and can't wait. i've heard all positive and negative stuff about the place but surely it's the company you keep even if it is rough and a chav home from home? please reassure me!!!!

I swear I thought I was gonna die, but the night life is so awsome
probably wont go on a package holiday again until i have a family i guess.
Ibiza is bloody miles away so i highly doubt theres a boat trip there.
Also, the guys to girls ratio you've mentioned - didnt seem anything like that when i went, was pretty evenly matched.
Tbh i dont think the day you go out really matters, it was pretty great every night.
I'll agree with the others who have been though its fantastic! Pretty much all of the bars and clubs are on this one long strip (big hill) so its really easy to stumble out of one place and straight into another.
Things i can recommend:
Popcorn partys! These are wickidy, just like a foam party only loads and loads of popcorn is shot at you from a big cannon
(Dj) Dela-creme - This guy is well worth seeing and always managed to play just the right style of music to keep everybody jumping.
Mini golf in palma nova - Its only about 10 minutes walk away from the main strip and is a right laugh. Can get really hot though as theres not much protection from the sun here.
Things i didnt like:
Prostitutes - there were loads of them around and got really annoying by the end of the holiday. Try not to end up walking back your hotel by yourself as its hard to get rid of them.
Drug dealers - There were quite a few of these around as well when i went, these leave you alone pretty much if you just say a firm no, dont try and have a laugh with them though or they will be there all night. we were told that foreigners get a pretty rough deal if they caught by the police.
Annoying reps for shitty bars - Fair enough if someone is trying to pull you into a decent bar but when you get conned into going somewhere with nobody else inside it sucks.
The bad points arent really all that noticable however and the good more than outweighes the bad. Have a great time, im sure you'll love it! :hyper:
am off to learn some spanish.
All in all it was a great week, nighlife is good and everyone is really friendly. BCM is overated though, i preffered the smaller bars, they were more of a laugh. In BCM there were too many groups of lads
Are you sure as a my mate who is going with me heard it from a co worker, by boat i mean Ferry by the way.......its meant to be 20 euros or something?? i looked at some reviews as well and someone else mentioned it.......
whereas in maga you can get for example... 2 shots 2 vodka mixers and a coctail all for 5 euros
Oh my god i was so looking forward to that! when did you go though, why would someone say that if its not true! hello!
Unless she went years ago! i must investigate now!
Thanks for the heads up! x
i went last august, im sure it was quite a lot of money, even the rep said it wasnt worth it, and you know what they are like for selling you crap
Yeah i know, its funny as all the resorts are pretty much the same wherever you go!!
Oh well, i am sure we will have a good time either way! :yes:
Ooh i am excited now!!
Okay look at this link........ lots of reviews about Magaluf..... including boat trips.....
BCM is a bit over-rated but you have to at least try it, it's a good laugh especially if there's a big DJ on. We saw Dave Pearce and DJ Sammy (haha) closing parties which were mint.
Boomerangs and Bananas are ace for smaller clubs... and all the bars on the strip do really good drinks deals. We saw Pat Sharp in Boomerangs and Kelly Llorenna in another club! We found one bar on the strip that did Cheeky Vimtos which was amazing until we realised how much port they put in - we were wankered after a couple!!
Both Palma Nova and Magaluf beaches are nice... I found Palma Nova itself to be far nicer as it's not as commercialised even though it is only next door to Magaluf! There's a water park and crazy golf in Palma Nova too.
You'll have a mint time if you're up for sun, booze and boys.
Yeah soz have edited
