Just having a conversation about holidays in the office
Have you ever been on an all inclusive holiday?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:53, Reply)

Yes
Cancun

Fucking great it was! 4 optics in the room and a fridge full of beer

I want to go to Mexico. My Mrs really rates it.
I have 3 weeks in the US in a few weeks time! Hahahaha.

It was excellent
Drove a speedboat through the mangrove swamps at about 40mph out to sea then snorkelled with loads of fish

I took a day trip into Tijuana when I was in San Diego.
Fuck me, that was a scary place.

I've been to Tijuana, it's a hole.
I will be in San Diego in a few weeks and the Mrs said are we going to Tijuana? I said she could if she wanted to but I am not keen.

I dived off the Mexican Coast, but have never properly been to Mexico.

but I have never been to me.

I want to dive the cave systems.

While I was about 15m down
I found myself surrounded by a huge shoal of fish, thousands of the fuckers - they just parted around me. Bloody awesome.

You should get your Advanced ticket.
You'd love it.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:58, Reply)

I haven't dived in about 6 years.
Club I was in disintegrated through petty in-fighting, dwindling membership and therefore dwindling finances. When I joined there were 70 people in it; when it folded there were 15.

I also did this. It's a shit hole.

Me too - the historical stuff they have there is fucking incredible.
Plus, loads of weed and coke and tacos.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:07, Reply)

Nope
I've only been on a couple of 'traditional' sun holidays and never will again.

Mate
Go to the right hotel in the right place and you'd love it.

Right up your street.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:57, Reply)

Really?
They seem to be the polar opposite of what I want from a holiday.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:59, Reply)

The prospect of being tied to a resort because the booze and food is free fills me with dread.
See also deliberately seeking out British bars and food because you don't trust the local stuff. That's the whole fucking point of going on holiday you buffoons, not sitting in the Sunburnt arms watching videos of Mr Bean and drinking lukewarm John Smiths.

The best holidays I've had have been in private apartments rented off their owners,
This has been far and away the best thing for my kind of holiday. There are of course plusses to the luxury hotel thing but I don't think it's 'my thing'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:04, Reply)

Every time we go to Kos
we stay with the same family in one of their apartments. They're as basic as hell, but that really doesn't matter. It's on the edge of Kos town, there's a bar and pool on site if you want to make use of them and loads of tavernas nearby. Plus, unrestricted access to loads of ruins and stuff.

Long haul, quiet resort, has to be some stuff to do outside the resort
but otherwise high end booze and food on tap 24 hours!!

Not Cancun or it's like. Or Europe. That's for cunts.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:03, Reply)

I just don't like 'resorts', not even 'high end' ones.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:05, Reply)

The posh hotels aren't like resorts these days.
They rooms tend to be villas on their own.

Everything else is like a restaurant.

TBH as stunned poster says
you can get some great ones. I would generally agree with you regarding resorts and have done some cheap horrors out of desperation, However I have been on a couple that were great, and you could travel around etc. free of the resort but it was handy to have it as a base.

I've done 2 Maldives holidays that were spectacular
but it is two weeks doing absolutely NOTHING.

I don't have a problem with this but some people need to do stuff.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:13, Reply)

The odd day of doing fuck all I can cope with.
But a whole fortnight of it would drive me crackers.

the jamaica one
I scuba'd, horse rode... walked along the beach to a local bar and drank heavily, etc. as I said lower down it just depends on the type of resort really.
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:23, Reply)

Yeah, fair enough.
My bird's the same.

I like the ones where prostertution is legal and the age of concent is nice and low, about 12 does it.
The trouble is with a lot of them, homosexuality is illegal... win some lose some.

From the pre-pubescent boys of the third world there is a collective sigh of relief.

I think I'd rather chew my own leg off than go on a 'package' holiday.
I've seen videos of them, and they look 'proper rank'.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:58, Reply)

Only on a cruise.
If you don't care about drinking house labels, it's okay. If you buy the drinks packages, you have to go some to gt your money's worth.

Saying that, I can't imagine you'd have a problem there.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:57, Reply)

Fucking smash it everytime.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 10:58, Reply)

Are you thinking of going somewhere posh?
Splash out on the extra butler service. I'm assured it's worth it.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:00, Reply)

Been there. Done that.
It's great.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 6 Aug 2013, 11:04, Reply)

Been on a few, some were shit
i.e. north Africa.

However the best of them all was Jamaica, same as with everything if you get a decent one then they are good and good value.
