    Holiday locations
    Me and my group of friends are planning a trip abroad next year, we have it narrowed down to 3 possibilities of Ibiza, maga or Zante. We have found all inclusive hotels in all three for around the same amount (within £40 of each other). Personally I think Ibiza will be the best as it is a better hotel and let's face it is the party central for holidays but my friends are worried about the extra cost (even though it's all inclusive). We were just wondering whether it is a significant enough difference to maybe look at maga or Zante more

    I got back from Zante just under a month ago. Went for 2 weeks and it was incredible. It was just the 2 of us that went, and the holiday cost us £270, and we spent less than 600euros (that's self catering, going out 14 nights in a row, and days out).
    We made friends with girls next to us in the hotel, who'd been to all the party places. Ibiza they said was their worst, so expensive they couldn't afford to go out every day for a week. But I believe they said Maga was their fav. Friends went there last year and loved it, however not mine or my friends scene as it's TOO party hard haha.

    If you're planning just a holiday I highly recommend having a rough time you want to go and booking it last minute. We went through Thomas Cook 16 days prior (which was a bummer because my passport had run out!) and we spent about half the amount a lot of the friends we made did for 1 week booking it back in Feb or so.

    I'll be working out in Zante next year, that's how much we enjoyed it.

    Hope this helped

    Thanks I this has helped and I will talk about it with the lads next time we meet up. The idea we have is to go all inclusive so we can drink as much as possible before we go out and save ourselves a lot of money haha.

    Are you sure about the booking times, what we're planning to do is book it as so as possible as we already have a date to go (July 8th) and have been told that booking it earlier would cost less than last minute

    Thanks for your help

    I'd say booking either really early or really late is best option, although I would really recommend self catering, as the food in all inclusive is generally in edible tbf and also you can buy really cheap drink from shops etc to drink beforehand, also if you're in a big group you will get good deals in bars etc, I really don't think all inclusive is the cheapest option.
