Son's first non- family holiday abroad...

Hi

Looking for some advice and suggestions. Both of my sons are going on an 18-30 holiday to Ibiza end of August. There will be 4 others going with them and they have booked half board accommodation.

I'm looking for suggestions for the best value for money activities or how do they get into bars and nightclubs fairly cheaply?

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    I doubt they will be doing much in the way of daytime activities.....apart from sleeping.

    Clubs and pubs usually have people enticing them in with all mannner of special offer on drinks, so they won't need to look far.

    I would leave them to it!

    They'll take no notice. They're there for two things: Booze and birds.

    Thanks guys, yes totally agree they will be sleeping during the day and probably not on their own ;-)

    Just wondered if anyone knew the average cost of getting into a club - they've had a quick look online and seen some cost €60 each.

    You might want to remind them that if they damage themselves doing something daft while completely rat arsed they will invalidate their insurance. Note that it'll make much odds, but at least the thought will be out there.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Which resort are they staying in?

    Btw there's plenty of nightlife without paying to go into the big clubs, this holiday can be a big of a learning curve to find out what they like and don't like so the next one can be even better.

    Club 18-30 Reps will do everything to extract as much money as they have in their pockets on the first day they are in resort, they will wake them up if they are asleep! The company does not like their customers making up their own mind, taking the ferry to Formentera or wandering around the old town of Ibiza on top of the hill for example, and most customers seem perfectly happy to give up all idea of thinking for themselves. The fact that you are asking questions worries me that they may not be the average Club 18-30 customers!
