Good point Laughing out loud

Guido wrote: 4 day Stag do to Magaluf Oops over the weekend of the 17th. Last time I was there was when I was 17-18. Bet not much has changed Laughing out loud Any of the young bucks been recently? Any pointers on hell holes to avoid (most of it) or gaffs to check out would be good. Cool

Went last summer and flew home early. Can't really recommend anything apart from the beach Puzzled Oops
Perhaps go to the main Junglas hotel in the day and relax by the pool which has a decent bar and music all day.

Yeah the new ones are the ones ive flown, IFE and leg room are pretty much impossible to beat for the price.

Cant beat the IFE, i dunno why i felt so cramped, think some of the seats have the IFE box under them that limits your room.

cant see 5 nites in dubai being 500 gibs tho even in that hotel, are you sure jack?
