LOL! Loooovely! Will have to try and catch one of those programmes.
We've done cornwall and devon already- plus been to bournemouth and brighton a couple of times as well.

We thought of St Tropez but its pretty pricey as is Mauritius. Will look into all of your suggestions and let yo know what we decide

Thanks guys! ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:32:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353944&title=holiday-any-ideas#353944 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : What about south of France, Nice...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353924&title=holiday-any-ideas#353924 Author: Redbedrock

What about south of France, Nice or St Tropez? Or west Coast, Biarritz etc. The Algarve (Portugal) is beautiful and lots of fun, had a few girlie holidays there. Turkey was another favourite, you could probably get a cheap deal to Olu Deniz or somewhere equally beautiful.

I stayed in San Antonio Bay years ago (Ibiza) as toni reccomended and it was perfect, close to the action but quieter.
I would always say Dorset, Cornwall or Devon at that time of year, you might get lucky with the british summer, you never know ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:38:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353924&title=holiday-any-ideas#353924 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : i&#039;m so jealous!!!! i&#039;d...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353731&title=holiday-any-ideas#353731 Author: jack_&_charli

Just loads of horrible drunken young people making twats of themselves. If you have ever watched any of the holiday rep type programs you would see what I mean. I know that some of the male apprentices use to go there on lads holidays and it normally resulted in stomach pumps and STD's.

Thanks for the feedback guys! We have a holiday for greece planned already so would rather go somewhere else for this one. I have heard good things about croatia and will look into cyprus as well.

Cuppatea- is Ibiza full of Chavs, or do you mean like silly young people?]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 06:26:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353655&title=holiday-any-ideas#353655 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : It&#039;s a bit long to fly for...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353478&title=holiday-any-ideas#353478 Author: ItchyFeet

Ohhh yes Croatia gets my vote too (and its cheap)! I lived there for quite a while when on my O.E as I loved Croatia so much I didn't want to leave!

Croatia is my second favourite destination!! (Africa is by far my fav, getting off topic now sorry)!!

Ibiza gets my vote! If you want to stay near the clubs etc but want a bit of peace and quiet in the day try to get a hotel in San Antonio Bay (rather than San Antonio) I hope I have that round the right way - been a fair few years since I've been there lol Either way, one if full of the louts, the other is the more up market area

Failing that Cyprus or Greece

I've been to Kefalonia too! Very beautiful, but I can only remember 1 club (that's enough when the Ouzo (sp?) is flowing LOL

I'm so jealous!!! *throws a major sulk*

The only thing I miss about living in the UK is the cheap holidays.

DH and I spent our first weekend away in Geneva. From memory the flights were 50 pounds return ]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:53:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353428&title=holiday-any-ideas#353428 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : I haven&#039;t been but my manager...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353426&title=holiday-any-ideas#353426 Author: myfullhouse

What about Cyprus - but going to Paphos not Ayia Napa. Paphos is a little more mature, but you can still get a good night out. The beaches arent as nice, but there are some lovely resorts!

I lived in Cyprus for 3 years when I was younger, so guess I am biased.

The other option could be somewhere like the Italian / French riveira - bit more classy, and pretty safe!

Greece - Kefalonia was nice - but make sure you check out what type of beach ie. pebble or sand, when you make accommodation bookings. hmm, kefalonia possibly not so good for big nights out. But lots of day cruises and swimming went over well for me.]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:35:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353347&title=holiday-any-ideas#353347 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : Don&#039;t go to menorca that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353346&title=holiday-any-ideas#353346 Author: cuppatea

Don't go to menorca that place is mega boring. Me and DH did a week there and was ready to come home after 2 days. Is ok if you have kiddies and want a relatively quiet sunny break but not good for couples/girly weekends etc. (unless it has changed, was 6 years ago).
I personally was always put off the ibiza/mallorca type places as I typically tried to avoid "those" type of people whilst at home so didn't want to get stuck on holiday surrounded by them.
What about italy? there are some really beautiful lakes in northern italy and haven't been too southern italy but I believe there are suppose to be some stunning beaches. ]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:34:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353346&title=holiday-any-ideas#353346 <![CDATA[Holiday- any ideas? : Bow bout somewhere in Greece,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353335&title=holiday-any-ideas#353335 Author: peachy

A friend and I are going away for a girly weekend in July I'm so excited! Anyway- for anyone who has spent time over here and did the weekend escape type thing do you have any suggestions???

We have looked into Ibiza, Malta, Menorca and Mallorca. We're wanting to go for lots of sun, beaches and a couple of big nights out but somewhere that's relatively safe. Having never been to any of them I have no idea! Has anyone been to any of these places? Or know anyone who has? Or has any other suggestions that would be similar to these?

TIA! ]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:02:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16273&PID=353318&title=holiday-any-ideas#353318
