Hi All,

Just wondering if anybody has been to playa del ingles in sept and if so whats it like. It is still as lively and what's the weather likely to be like?

went to peurto rico last year in June and it was lovely but me and by boyfriend fancy something more lively this year.

thanks a lot.

:D

We are hoping to go to Gran Canaria next year, stopping in tha Tamaran Apartments. I have heard good things about apartments so ok about them, but with 18, 16 and 12 year old boys, need to know if there is plenty for them to do.
Would be really grateful if someone could tell me places and things for them to do, also is there a waterpark near.

Any info would be brilliant, thanks.

Hi there,

My wife and I are going to GC in Sept and had a few questions if anyone can answer them....

- How much are cigarettes in GC??
- How much spending money to take - we are going for 2 weeks - are not massive drinkers but fancy a few nights out.
- How much are drinks in general (not beer)?
- Best clubs to go to?
- How much is it to eat out in general?

Cheers

Phil & Jodie

We just got back last week.

I bought Mayfair cigs for someone - worked out about £10 for 200.
Re. spending money - are you self catering or in hotel? depends if you have to buy your meals. We were all inclusive.
Depending where you went the prices of drinks varied, we didn't go out that much. One night got charged 9euro for a bacardi breezer and a pint of guiness!! (about £6.50)
Don't know about the clubs - hubbys a fudd!!!

Cigs - depending on what you like but camel light (like Silk cut) are about 15 euros for 200

Drinks - around 3 euros for a WKD type drink but lots of places do 2 for one etc

Meals - depends - 8 euros for a pizza or go to a spanish menu del dia - 3 course meal for 7 euros. Alot of chinese places doing all you can eat for 6 euuros but the drinks will be more expensive

we stayed in puerto rico 5 years ago and found it very safe to let our 15 year old son and a freind he met while there go to the bars on there own and come back to the hotel after us. we stayed at the top opposite the shopping centre which was at the top overlooking amadores beach where we had the best calzone pizza ever and everybody took a camera as it was the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen. we are hoping to go back some time in the future , but we are travelling to other places around this wonderful world, before revisiting places we have been to. i must say we had the best holiday ever in gran canaria, so enjoy

Christ - the drinks are expensive in Gran Canaria.

Need to rethink my holiday spends. I think if this is the case, back to Turkey next year . Why do they charge such crazy prices, they are doing themselves out of business in the long run. Many will not return, after all, we all go abroad because it is supposed to be cheaper.
