Next year me and a small group of friends are planning to go on our first holiday!! Were not to sure on where to go though and at the minute were just looking into good resorts. We will all be 17 and want the resort to have good nightlife however for our fist holiday we think its a good idea that it isnt to hardcore!! So just friendly bars, smaller clubs ect. Obviously we want it to be somewhere not to expensive, with nice beaches and good nightlife! Has anybody got any ideas, good or bad experiences?

thank you

You may find that some places will not accept a booking for a group of 17 year olds

For example the Thomas Cook site here says you must be over 18

http://www.thomascook.com/help/termsandconditions.asp

You will need at least one person to be over 18 and the booking will go in their name. That person will be responsible for paying the travel agent so if any of the group drop out at a later date but still owes money then it will lay with the person who booked. A good idea is to go to the second busiest resort ie. Kalimaki in Zante not Lagana... you will find it not as mental and with fewer idiots getting their arses out, but late clubs and bars are there if you want them. Don't bother with places like Faliraki or Malia if its your first time away you will find them too hardcore and expensive. A safe bet is a place called Sidari in Corfu I've been loads of times it's a nice place!

alot of the travel agents do state a person of 18... but we over came that a few years back with my dads name on it, although he wasnt coming the travel agent took him as the garantor...we went to Salou... it was fantastic, also its got the porta ventura.. the universal studios theme park.. good night life and lovely beaches..

I went with a group of friends when i was 17, one was 18 so we had to put the holiday in her name and the rest of us had to take notes from parents!! but we were all 18 by the time we went just not when we booked it

any way we went to Magaluf its a cliche i know but i loved it, everyone was friendly but of course i know things have changed from 4 years ago and girls must be more careful now.

we went back the next year and had another great time. theres loads of bars and clubs for everyone and everything is close together, we went to one of the fiesta hotels which was for young people, just make sure its made for young people as families and older people will not appreciate the noise that young groups of girls/boys can make! let us know where you go and hope that helps

by the way the beaches were nice and it wasnt that expensive but as i say it was 4 years ago, i went to Ayia Napa about 2 years ago and that was more expensive. but bars will do deals on drinks just to get you in!

Gran Canaria is brilliant.

I went to the part called Playa Del Ingles and had a great time, there are lots of smaller bars and clubs, nothing too hardcore but still a good atmosphere.

It was friendly and i never felt unsafe even at 2 o clock in the morning.

There is gorgeous sunshine all year round, i went for 10 days and it didnt rain once.

There is a beach very near the centre with regular buses going there or you can get taxi's (which are really cheap there).  At the beach there are lots of little bars and cafe's and shops.

There is also a water park and two shopping centres near by.

It was my first holiday abroad and i went when i was 18 and i had a great time, everthing i could have wanted.

Highly recommended
