Lads holiday

There's about 6-7 of us looking to get away next Summer after our A levels have finished. We were looking at somewhere like Zante/Ibiza, somwehere with a good nightlife really - although if you have any good suggestions then we are open minded. Obviously as we've never looked for a Holiday before we don't know about pricings and how much we should be paying, and if there are any deals going about. I hope you lot can help. :T

We are hoping to get away around the July time, and at a all inclusive hotel. Preferably a 3* place, close enough to wherever the clubs are. With a budget of about £300-350 ea I reckon, not really talked into that much detail with the lads though.

Anything would help really, info on where you have been before and what the hotels were like and what prices you paid etc would be great. Or even some links to some sites that give a good offer.

EDIT: Flying from Newcastle.

    I'm sure a few people will disagree with my advice but in your situation I'd go into a travel agents - Thomas Cook are the operators of Club 18-30 which should be the sort of holiday you're after.

    There are a couple of reasons why I'm suggesting this - you've not booked a holiday before and although you cou'd save a few pounds by doing it yourself I think that having the help, assistance and reassuring of letting the travel agent do all the work would be worth a bit more. You don't want any extra stress going on when you've got your exams!

    Also a group of 6/7 is somewhat 'out of the norm' for a package holiday which may require the assistance of a travel agent. As it's a big(ish) group the agent could also perhaps held sort you out with a discount.

    Hope that's been of help!

    18-30, 2wenty's, escapades...

    for your budget id say book early for maybe a group discount or right near your dep date... like a month b4 or summat.

    also with your budget your better off with ibiza (always the cheapest) or lowkey places greek places like Kos.
