    by paying £180, you are able to get free or cheap entry to the nightclubs, VIP entry to the clubs, induction night (the reps take you around the bars) booze cruises, fancy dress nights etc. Im not too sure if I should pay the £180 price as I dont know if its worth paying the money.

    I went on a 2wentys holiday to Tenerife a few years ago and it was great, not sure i would ever do it again as it took me about 2 weeks to recover! I would wait until you are in the resort to decide if its worth paying £180 as there will be plenty of opportunitys to join in if you want to or go on different nights out/excursions etc.

    then defo no!!!!

    all are cheaper do do once there. sometimes u even get in clubs for free. if free why do u have to 'pay ' for the privilege?!

    induction night is the biggest rip off, as u can bar crawl urself.... as well as fancy dress urself. why pay xtra to do it on said time and days?

    just picked the stuff u wanna do and pay the single price....

    its a rip off basically.
  • How involved do you have to get? I'm going as a couple and we found a nice place to stay and have booked and it's come up as a 2wenty's holiday, which we didn't really want to do. It just looked a nice place and a good location. You don't have to do anything right? ..right?! We'll go out a few nights but also want to chill a lot of the time, I don't want some pushy annoying rep making me go on some bar crawl or boat trip..

    Ah 2wentys holidays - that takes me back :T.
    2wentys accommodation is usually within walking distance of all the main bar/restaurant areas in the resorts anyway, and you'll find out within your first day or so which ones are the popular ones. It can be as full-on or as chilled out as you want it to be.

    I do remember paying for the reps package once - as has been said, needed a holiday when I got home to get over it!

    best save your money, and do any trips etc yourselves- I went one one of these many years ago, only 2 trips were worth paying for..
    the rest of the 'free bar crawls' were bit of a fraud- a free drink only came after you bought two (expensive!) rounds..

    I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with our apartment in Tenerife with 2wentys, but our rooms/apartments in Greece and Turkey were both fine.

    I am going back about 20 years right enough (where does the time go??) so checking on review sites (not necessarily or exclusively tripadvisor though) is a good idea.
