  • The place looks fine, and the tripadvisor comments are all really, really good, it says its being/been refurbished in winter 2010 as well so i'm not too bothered about the accommodation.

    We just don't want to be involved in all the pub crawls and stuff they do! This is making me sound old and boring!! We want just want have a couple weeks lazing round a pool/beach, eating out etc. We will go out and get spectacularly drunk a few times i'm sure, just don't want to do it with that crowd really!

    So if we don't have to be involved in all that, thats good and what I wanted to hear! I don't like forced fun..!

    You don't have to get involved with anything you don't want to. The reps may come round offering stuff but usually if you are a couple they will work out pretty quick that they are wasting their time with the sales pitch.

    The only thing is during the day etc there may be games organised by the company around the pool and things - meaning there may be noise/action round the pool. This may not bother you, and it depends on the accomdodation too. Also its no worse than childrens games organised by other tour operators!

    Be aware that the Reps are on commission and will do everything they can to get you to buy the deal at the first welcome meeting. In fact they come around and knock on your door to make sure you turn up. They are taught that young people and money are easily parted and that they should do the parting before anyone else. I wouldn't dream of paying £180 for a promise of a 'good time' but you will be told that you will be 'missing out' if you don't. Frankly, I would be happy to miss out every time!
  • When I last when on a 2wentys holiday which is a few years ago we didnt buy the package but as said the reps will push you as far as they can due to the commision they earn from it. We selected the events we wanted to go to I think there were two we went on and as we were only going for a week that was more than enough of our time organised.
  • Depends what clubs exactly - you might want to find out exactly where you'll be going, but entrances do mount up if you want to go to one of the big clubs every night.
  • If you need somebody to guide you on a pub crawl, you need to ask yourself some serious questions.

    If you need to pay somebody £180 to guide you on a pub crawl, something has definitely gone wrong somewhere.
