Only had one bad holiday fucking Margate. Too young to be a kid but not old enough to go to the pub. Place was lifeless after 8pm. Bingo in the hotel with the old biddies every night.

Cracking golf course though. Never got caravan holidays tbh. May as well sit in your own back garden.I will go for 5 days in a caravan in Siloth in Cumbria. Horrendous. Just don’t ever go.
It appears it’s changed a lot from the descriptions on here. We went 4 times as as a family but over 10 years ago and everyone loved it, so much so that my lads were trying to talk me into going again. I also went twice with mates for the golf with the same reaction.We used to go on holiday to La Manga quite a bit when I was a kid. Nice place if I remember rightly.
We regularly saw the likes of Dalgliesh and Souness there which thinking about it may have been the start of its downfall. Obviously not their fault though.

As someone who lives only a few miles away from margate I do wonder what families find to do for a week !.
Back in the 80's the night life was great with lots of clubs ( not much use to you at that age ). Since than the place has slowly died.
Now margate is only alive around a couple of hundred yards from the Turner Centre. It's all arty farty shit for the art set from London now. The high street is dead, litter and graffiti everywhere.
If you are into art and dont go far from the Turner Centre it's ok I guess, but i am not into unmade beds and paintings a 5 year could do better.
Malta.
Shit hole of a place. The 2 hotels were both crap, basically reclaimed timeshares that had served their 20 years time. Think I was the first person to have opened the bedroom door in a good 10 years
Nothing in Malta is finished, it's like everything is half way through. Some people say it adds to its charm, not for me.
Oh, and hospitalised for 48 hours with infected mosquito bites.

There is an age where kids are too old to go away with their parents in the UK. That was my year I just didn't realise it until I got there. Must of been pretty shite for my parents as well stuck with 3 kids and nothing to do.
I'm on the Orihuela Costa most of the time but flit between a couple of areas depending on time of year.Bellends and Brass, lol, exactly as I remember it, the accommodation on site was top notch, we had a couple of town houses and the golf courses were good but it was just to seedy at nighttime. I was ill there as well, got laryngitis, cost me about €200 for a taxi and doctors fees. I know that area quite well, where do you live?

Went for a week on a freebie with the wife. Lasted a day before getting a car and going to Soller, which is a different world.
Went back to Magaluf for the last day/night and decided if you can't beat em etc. An afternoon on stella before dropping an e and raving in 'Bananas'
Ah Soller, I know this is the worst holiday experience thread but there and Port Soller is possibly my favourite place in the World!
Haha! Fucking loved a bit of magaluf as a teenager. Haven't been since I was 18 but remember being off my trolly watching the girls swimming naked in the big aquarium in bananas and wondering if life was ever going to get better.Went for a week on a freebie with the wife.
