pintsized Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I am planning a hen do for my soon to be sister-in-law. She would really like to go abroad for 2/3 days so I have decided to look into breaks to the Costa Del Sol. Struggling to decide between Marbella and Torremolinos and choose suitable hotels. Does anyone have any experience of these two places and which would be better for a hen do of around 8-10 late 20s/early 30s women? We are planning on going All Inclusive to try and cap the cost for people and have around a £300 budget for flights and hotel. If anyone has any advice on suitability or hotels etc I would appreciate any tips! TIA. Edited October 15, 2014 by pintsized typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bloom Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Why do people feel the need to do such things? Why have hen and stag nights have to become these elaborate, long, expensive, action-fuelled occasions? I've been to weddings where the hen and stag dos have cost the couple more than the wedding itself. It's crazy in my opinion. Not only that, many people will not lay off pressuring 'friends' to attend and shell out loads of money that they would rather not. I personally think it's all a bit too 'me, me, me'. That said, if no one is pressured to go, and everyone can afford it, and actually all do want to go 100%, hope you all have a fab time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sure! The more the merrier. Can't now, Mr Bloom has made me feel unashamedly guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Can't now, Mr Bloom has made me feel unashamedly guilty. Sorry, about that, skinz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintsized Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 There are plans for a local hen do for the people who can't afford it. Her other half (my brother) is going abroad too so think that's probably half the reason why she wants to go abroad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Getting smashed out of your skull on a hen night on the Costa del Sol is soooooo last century. Classy hens stay in the UK and do interesting stuff. My daughter went on one recently where they hired a male life model who was also an artist and he gave them a 2 hour drawing class; they also did a cheerleading class and made a fantastic meal together in their beautiful lodge in Scotland (complete with jacuzzi), went for a long walk to a country pub for lunch, did lots of daft games made up by the bridesmaids and yes, drank some alcohol, but didn't make themsleves ill... Or you can make an embarrassing spectacle of yourself in a foreign country and end up vomiting in the street/all over your hotel room and struggle to remember any of it...not everyone's idea of a great weekend!

JFKvsNixon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I went to a music festival for my stag do, and then had a local one for the ones who didn't have the stamina. It was an unforgettable three nights of carnage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintsized Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I don't really understand why people comment with unhelpful or horrible comments. Yes I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's what she would like to do. Who are we hurting? I put this on in the hope I could get some constructive advice and so far I have received none. Just because we're going abroad, doesn't mean we are going to vomit all over the street. You are stereotyping massively there. It's pointless posting on here, all you get 9 times out of 10 is negative/sarcastic comments and keyboard warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
