I was there about 5 years ago, stayed in the Iberostar Bouganville Playa - terrible room was noisy at night place was being renovated, the pool was crap as was the gym just full of OAP's, bored with the Scoff after two days. Moved to the Cleopatra Palace for around 10 days and went out each night to walk and eat at different places, great facilities and even managed 4 days scuba diving all booked from the Hotel. Even better that I found an offie that sold Old Parr think it was right in the shopping mall along from the colour changing fountains and over from the Hotel. You have to try Old Parr its the perfect drop over ice in hot climates. Keep up the good work!

In 2004 came out with a mate and for a laugh we got a job one night in the kebab shop PR-ing, we made our own jug of “shots” with all the booze we had left over in our apartment, and gave everyone that came in a shot with their kebab.

Veronica’s 1996 Bobby’s and Busby’s, Soul Train, Tramps, that place was rocking back then, like you said it spilt right out. Those were the days, but I was only 24 then, actually on the day before I came home. I had to do my Kidney Dialysis whilst I was there, my first time doing holiday dialysis and I chose to go abroad, should have been with my girlfriend but we split up a few weeks before but I thought, did it, I’d paid for it so I’m going. Turned out they had double booked so I was asked if I’d go on a later flight, wasn’t offered anything and if I’d known then what I do now I could have made a few quid, had to sit on the crews jump seats for the flight but as they needed them for take off and landing I sat in the cockpit, won’t see that these days. Got a few quid back when I got home though
