3 Nights in Magaluf - Im going to hate it arent i?

Post by ŽižkovClaret » Tue Jan 14, 2020 6:49 pm

Booked 3 nights in Magaluf in April then down to somewhere else on the island for 4 nights.

Anyone else been as a 30-odd yr old?

Quite looking forward to some trashy British themed bars as an exile :lol:

I didn't really enjoy it when I was 19 (apart from seeing Judge Jules at BCM), nevermind now.

Don't think it will be that lively in April. Definetely won't be the younger crowd, mainly stag and hen do's at that time of year.

You’ll have a great time mate! I’ve always been one for drinking during the day and I’m usually in bed by the time the youngsters come out. I’m on a stag do with 40 others in June and can’t wait

I went in April about 8 years ago. It's not that busy at all but busy enough so it isn't dead. It's a good time to go, I enjoyed it but I'd have hated it in July time by all accounts.

went once ten years ago, time warp back to my teenage years and thinking, no, surely not, I can't have been like this. Yet the sun shone, I did visit some bars. I did the beach but avoided the pool like the plague, which I thought there was a fair chance I might catch if I had gone in, if I could have found the space to squeeze in to.

However as people point out different times, different things going on and it may be fantastic, I wish you well and hope we get an update after the fact :)

Been three times.

Once at 18 my first ever lads holiday. Loved it. Was unreal at the time. But it was exactly the sort of holiday you would want as an 18 year old wet behind the ears kid from Burnley.

Went as a 21 year old and didn’t enjoy it half as much but still had a decent time.

Went as a 25 year old and even by then absolutely hated it and that sort of holiday. Never been back there or Benidorm since and refused to go on stag dos to both on the basis I couldn’t think of much worse than wasting my holidays never mind money in either Benidorm or magaluf.

That said the beaches are nice. The beer is cold. The weather is good. So even if it’s not your scene you can still have a great time there.

Depending on what you are into maybe head to Palma (not Palma nova).

Or failing that take 30 euros for three nights with the above mentioned lucky lucky girls :lol:

Wasn't last Easter (April) ****** it down for 2 weeks, freezing cold, whilst the UK had an heat wave.

Same applies to early June and September

I went in August, but stayed in Palma Nova
The strip was as expected but I couldn't stand being grabbed every 15 seconds by bar reps trying to drag you in each place

Congratulations on being an eco-tourist i.e. you're not tramping round tropical and equatorial regions thinking you're experiencing nature. I went to Sunny Beach last year. I'm a Westerner and I'd rather have a beach holiday under no illusions.

Went in 2014, booked it single and ended up with a bird by the time the holiday came round (gutted).

I was 28 then and absolutely bloody hated it, not my scene at all, I was there for a sodding week as well!
