Has anybody ever been? I'm planning to go next year & would like to know what it's like. I've seen all the video's on YouTube etc & read all the details about it. What i want to know is things like:
How would you rate it out of 10?
Is it value for money?
How much spending money should i take?
How big is the club?
Roughly how many people go?
What activities are available daytime?
Those sort of things. Thanks for any help :)

I went this year. Was an a amazing week. I'd give it 8/10.
Two reasons they loose points. Firstly because they have 2 arenas through the week and don't really make use of them properly IMO. Quite often they were playing mainstream UK Hardcore in both rooms. This was fine on the weekend though when the opened a 3rd arena and had oldskool and Gabber in the two small arenas. 8-) I like to change it up a bit personally.
Secondly... Drinks cost a damn fortune in the club! Thankfully you can wander out and go somewhere cheaper for a session and then come back for a stumble.
I would say it's good value for money, yes.
I took a fair bit but then I like to get messy from time to time. ;) That's where a lot of my cash went. If you like to get messy take a fair wad. £600 odd. You can easy spend more though! You don't need that much but I'd say you can get by on that without regretting not bringing more.
If you're a bit of a straight head you can easy get by on about £300 I'd say if you don't drink much (or at all) and eat cheap.
The club isn't huge but it's a nice size. Perfect for the amount of people I'd say. Hard to tell how many where there. :-/ I'd say maybe 2000?
There is quite a bit but we often done our own thing. There is like a booze cruise with tunes, Loads of funny drinking games at the beach bar, water park trip, bowling and mini golf near by and beach parties. Loads to do around the place with ya mates and other ravers though.
If you like Hardcore I'd say it would be impossible to regret going really.. I'm going again next year. 8-)
