Lads Holiday 2010 (13th-20th June).

Hello.
Can anyone suggest where we should go for a holiday & who to book with? We have only been able to get the 13th - 20th June off work.

I've done Ibiza a few times now, so still want something lively, but not as mental as Ibiza. There's now only 2 of us going as everyone else either can't make it because of work (or lack of it - they are skint). So any thoughts would be good.

As long as it's HOT, plenty of night life, and stuff to do & obviously not too expensive. We Sare OK flying from any midlands airport - Doncaster, East Midlands, Manchester...(that's if the volcano doesn't erupt again).

Cheers
Gareth

    How much are you wanting to spend?

    What board basis are you thinking of?

    How much to spend? For me Im not fussed - I don't have a limit, obviously the cheaper the better. Not sure on my mates budget, but he's not loaded so nothing over the top.

    As for board - Im not keen on having to get up and be certain places at certain times so not fussed about having any food included - however if it's all inclusive that's a different kettle of fish (but then again you can't really venture too far from the hotel and if it's a bit naff you've had it).

    Also has anyone heard of www.ladsholiday.com?

    MALIA? bulgaria ? ayia napa?


    we are going malia ( 4 girls the day u get back) and we booked via sunshine.co.uk it was pretty good deal . think it was 550 for 2 weeks with transfers flights and extra baggage at the best hotel ( rated on tripadvisor as #1 hotel in malia)

    or do you want something less ''18-30s?'

    is this as well as, or instead of, the holiday with your girlfriend. We've just come back from fuengirola - were apprehensive but really enjoyed it - we however are a family of 4. but we could see it would appeal to everyone. quick transfer from malaga (by train or probablu wouldn't cost too much in a taxi) - plenty of good restaurants to choose from - great looking beach but it was too cold for us to venture on - nearby lots of other ares to visit. you could probably do it really cheaply if you booked rynair to malaga and look on tripadviser for self catering - there's one recommended on tripadviser self catering which is really central and looks nice with pool lovely gardens etc, or try holiday truths costa del sol forum

    Palma Nova (Majorca) is well situated as its in walking distance of Magaluf but far enough away not to hear it. Theres load to do and several brilliant beaches nearby.

    I'm a bit long in the tooth to personally recommend anywhere, but my daughters have done lots of typical girlie holidays and their favourite was definitely Ayia Napa although closely followed by Faliraki.

    I went to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria with my pal last Sept and had a brilliant time.
    Not on Euros yet so dirt cheap (50p a pint a street back from the main strip :beer:).

    Plenty of good clubs and not totally full of Brits like Magaluf etc (think Swedish/Russian girls etc):T
