Alright Mark

Yeh we went there for our last holiday, its not mainland spain as said, its Majorca.

Great place, 5 mins walk from Magaluf, and REALLY chilled out.

There is a place not far from where we stopped where they do an outside BBQ type place, just off the street.

BEST rib-eye steak Ive had, u see em cook it, straight off the BBQ to ur plate.. Check it out..

Magaluf, there is a lot of cool things going on till early hrs, just beware of the 15,000 people asking u to go into their bars for X amount for a drink. Just say "That place down the road does it for half that price" and off ya go..

That was the only thing that put me off about Magaluf.

To be honest mate we fookin hated it

same food everyday (menu)

the beer was terrible,

we've travelled a fair bit in our time and stayed in some rough places, (2 star B+B in India) but it was a lot better than that place.

If its just you and the missus mate spend a bit extra and go to another hotel.

Try to imagine Butlins with shite beer, same menu every day and hundreds of screaming kids, your half way there then

***disclaimer*** don't let me put you off though everybodys different.

Palma Nova is a bit too commercialised (sp) to be honest! I would go to a smaller place Like Cala Bona or Cala Ferrera. Both Lovely places. Depends on what type of holiday you want really.

we went to see the pirates show and thought it was absolute bollox. Was about 40 Euros each, and it was a Cattle market inside. They stuff 4 adults onto seat that can hardly sit 2!

hotel Tobago has great food and stunning view's, stayed there 4 times.
i came back yesterday love it there. go there in dec too every year, it costs about £40 for a return flight for that time of year and the temp is up to about 26 deg even then and the place is deserted .

always book it all myself though, flights, hotel etc and just grab a taxi at the airport.

last week it was 32 degs out there

Magalluf is a shitpit though

i saw a white 3dr cossie (proper one) when i went over there. Although, the spanish havent got a clue how to modify, as this particular 3dr had some aftermarket bodykit on it.
