Landing in Spain, we were directed to a coach by a woman working for Thompson who was dressed well and very polite. Then we passed the couples and families onto a rowdy coach full of singles, with a bunch of young holiday reps yelling that they couldnt wait for us to 'smash their back doors in,' and were telling us their room numbers.
We had specified a couples holiday and family hotel as we wanted a quiet break. We were taken to a clubbing resort hotel that admittedly was clean and tidy, had a great pool and seemed to have an atmosphere, but loud music was played from early morning to 1am so we were kept up all night by drunk clubbers arriving back once the music stopped, then after finally getting to sleep at 5am the music would come back on to wake us up.
We requested maps and tried looking for buses to take us to various attractions and although all the staff spoke English they said they did not know about how we could get to any of the places they advertised. We had a great time because we were together, and we also wandered down to the beach, found an amazing daquiri bar full of slush puppy machines with daquiris in(my favourite part-dont have the kamikaze though, didnt get me drunk just made me feel ill and drowsy).
If you take a left and walk all the way down the beach, there is a quieter beach the families go to, so there arent drunk louts everywhere, but its not as clean as its less of a touristy area. If I was in Magaluf for the clubbing scene I would have probably loved it.
Apart from all the burglaries. Security is poor. They make you wear a bright yellow wristband with the hotel name on it, so all local restaurant staff think you are going to cause trouble, the security guards at the hotel just hung around. Someone tried to break into our room whilst we were asleep in it. We had originally assumed they were drunk and got the wrong door, but on the coach to the airport after we heard most of the people on it saying they had been burgled by a group of lads that also got on the coach, so then they all kicked off again.
Seeing them all hungover and sick on the plane was worth it though!!!
If you are looking for a tacky clubbing holiday full of ruffians, this is the place!!!
Room Tip: If you ask for a double bed, you have to push two single beds together yourself as they advertise do...
