"We've been just the once and it was mostly Spanish couples in there when we visited.
Bit clicky tbh, very different to every other club and bar we've visited in PDI. "
Just our luck  thanks for replying x |

Next to Moonlight
Is a club
That was called Eternity
It has new owners it’s called
EDEN it will be opening
Up shortly - It has been totally
Revamped and is looking amazing
So definitely worth a visit on your holiday in PDI
It’s run by a great couple from the UK
Enjoy  |

We’ve only been once to moonlight but had a great time. Eternity is another good club to try which is in the nilo centre too. Saturday’s are the busiest usually. It’s very popular with the locals.

Eden_GC intends to cater for a more diverse range of customer. We welcome people of all nationalities.
We also intend to get the party started earlier, since the old Eternity Club tended to get going on Saturdays only and only after midnight.
Right now the club is undergoing a major facelift from the ceiling down and will have a whole new look.
We suspect that the Midnight Dreams vibe will become more Brit friendly with the change in swinging layout in PDI. (Imagine is now Studio 69 in Yumbo, and Maclennans is drawing a lot of Brits to the area). |

Thank you for the info.
That all sounds very good to us. Great that Eden won’t be just limited to a good night late on a Saturday evening. Every night is party night in GC.
We very much look forward to visiting you on our next trip to the island. Good luck with your opening. |

It’s not a preferred venue for us, but it’s nice inside, clean, friendly owners.
As already mentioned, you’ve got the new Eden next door to Moonlight, and we always enjoyed Eternity, so should continue with a great vibe with added value from the new owners and Maclennans over the road.
Then a 10 minute walk from Maclennans will take you to the Yumbo and Studio 69. And if you’re on a swinging crawl, a quick taxi or 15 minute walk will take you to the Cita. Pass by the Sandia for more clubs 
The beauty of pdi is whichever pubs/clubs you make your home, and you will have your personal favourites as we have, you can’t beat having N abundance of venues to visit to really mix your holiday up. |

A very nicely put together club - elegant cocktail bar area with a small, but very creatively designed, play area at the back.
Very popular with German swingers, who tend not to mix outside of their group. Lots of black rubber, leather and piercings.
The bar staff have an unfortunate tendency to be a little forgetful about giving the correct change!
Run by the same team who manage Venus Star...you may notice the same staff at both.
The bar area gets extremely smokey and there is v little ventilation, so bear that in mind...it's like a British pub in the 1970s.
Not a great place for a single guy or a couple if you are a bit shy as the layout makes it hard to strike up conversations, but v good fun to visit in a group. |

I love Moonlight Dreams, have had some amazing nights in there.
It does attract a lot of the Euro crowd, so a few words of German, Spanish, Italian or Dutch don't go amiss.
Spotlessly clean, it also tends to start earlier, we've got there at 9pm as they open and queued to get in! |

I absolutely love Moonlight too.
It's always clean, friendly staff and great atmosphere. I just love how intimate it is and then you gomto the back and see the unique play rooms.
If you get the chance do miss it as you'll not regret it.
Can't wait to go back.

We went there not long after it first opened a few years ago. Really nicely decorated and laid out, with Greek style murals and statues, if I recall. There were playrooms in 'Beach huts' in the main play space with other beds and fet furniture dotted around.
It was pretty empty when we went, though we did get chatting to a lovely brit couple there on their first ever club visit. We didn't get up to any playing.
It felt a little awkward getting there. We had to cross over the motorway on the bridge and then hang around outside the resteraunt next door waiting for the club to open. So you're pretty conspicuous, if that's an issue for you. |

Pdi has a great club scene, with a good mixture of theme nights, and some do couples only nights on certain nights of the werk, but no club is the same no night is the same, u.might not like a club one night, next night could be buzzing and also down to personal prefference, there are plenty of threads on here with club info check them out, also there are swinger bars great meeting places, with great people to help if u need any, some times just go with the flo and enjoy,. |

That's a shame. We haven't been for a couple of years, but Eternity was always a class above other clubs on the island, run by a great, fun couple, busy and attracting a more attractive clientele than the norm.
Wish the new owners success though. Hope it is as good as you suggest. |

We don't want to hijack Moonlights thread but want to say we are in contact with them and they will be back when the time is right. Better than ever!
Running a swingers club has always been our dream and we feel that having visited many clubs around the UK and abroad we know what we like and don't like. We've tried to borrow ideas from clubs we've liked and had a few of our own. |

I told you we'd have a surprise for you
Judging from all the messages we've received today we are in for a very busy end of year. So many people who don't post on the forums who booked flights.
Looking forward to to an epic party to celebrate the return of our visitors! |

We hate the place that much(bit of a presumption by some but I'll run with it), that we're on the cusp of booking a second holiday, for the end of the summer, into early autumn time....definitely a time for optimism, especially as we already have a drink arranged with at least 2 couples, that are resident there(who some assume we also hate), when we do get there. Disappointed, as we did miss out on four holidays there...but we'll make do with just the two.... for this year. We must really hate the place  |

"Any ideas what will be enter fee and opening hrs ? Any theme nights ? Just intresting to know x"
We used to LOVE the theme nights at Radlett Parties but appreciate that people only have so much room in their suitcase so theme nights will bear this in mind and keep it simple and plan well in advance.
We haven't got there yet. Are thoughts are that we won't charge couples and single ladies, will probably charge single men for obvious reasons.
We want to start the night earlier than Eternity did but still run for as long as we are permitted.
Whilst we are hoping to draw back some of the Spanish locals, we want Eden to have a more international clientele. Already the local Dutch population have expressed support, we have been inundated with messages from British people saying they will visit (sorry, we're trying to reply to everyone as best we can), and we have collected a number of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian friends over the years and expect them to show their faces. We expect we may see some of the Germans from next door at Moonlight Dreams come over for the wet area once that's opened up.
In accordance, we are trying to get multilingual bar/catering staff. |

And I am one of those locals.
And before people start wondering if I been hacked... N&S posted a very sensible comment on Sunday and asked all to take a step back, take a deep breath and calm down. I thought this was a great post, have unblocked and got chatting. Probably what I should have done in the first place.
Look. It's been a rough 12 months. Some of us have lost loved ones, some of us have lost jobs. Many of us had our holidays cancelled. It's been stressful and it's not surprising there's been a bit of angst.
So I'm putting my hand up and saying that as good as my intentions are, perhaps I have been too vociferous in getting my point across.
I think we all share a common passion for GC and think that should bind us as a community not drive us apart. We don't have to always agree with each other, but let us at least respect each other?
So this is a sincere apology to anyone I've offended on this forum. Let's put the last 12 shitty months behind us and look forward to what a party it's going to be when we all get back here!!! |

Respect to EDEN GC for stepping up to the mark and actually discussing our differences(in private) ....turns out we have way more in common than not, they remember our posts of old abd know how long we have been visiting GC. Perhaps the short time since we rejoined has tainted some people's opinions of us and some have just jumped onto the coat tails of others...EDEN GC took the time to chat to us and didn't feel the need to try and teach us 'manners'. Instead, they opened up dialogue and offered an olive branch, which we happily accepted....hopefully others will learn from this and think about the actual people behind the post and discuss, rather than accuse..... consider, rather than confront and lastly accept, rather than argue about people's heartfelt opinions.
We look forward to our return to GC and hooking up with new friends, as well as old friends xx |

Look. It's been a rough 12 months. Some of us have lost loved ones, some of us have lost jobs. Many of us had our holidays cancelled. It's been stressful and it's not surprising there's been a bit of angst.
So I'm putting my hand up and saying that as good as my intentions are, perhaps I have been too vociferous in getting my point across.
I think we all share a common passion for GC and think that should bind us as a community not drive us apart. We don't have to always agree with each other, but let us at least respect each other?
So this is a sincere apology to anyone I've offended on this forum. Let's put the last 12 shitty months behind us and look forward to what a party it's going to be when we all get back here!!!
Respect to EDEN GC for stepping up to the mark and actually discussing our differences(in private) ....turns out we have way more in common than not, they remember our posts of old abd know how long we have been visiting GC. Perhaps the short time since we rejoined has tainted some people's opinions of us and some have just jumped onto the coat tails of others...EDEN GC took the time to chat to us and didn't feel the need to try and teach us 'manners'. Instead, they opened up dialogue and offered an olive branch, which we happily accepted....hopefully others will learn from this and think about the actual people behind the post and discuss, rather than accuse..... consider, rather than confront and lastly accept, rather than argue about people's heartfelt opinions.
We look forward to our return to GC and hooking up with new friends, as well as old friends xx"

Don't see a problem with that!
Everyone needs to make at least one extra visit just to make up for 2020. There's a lot of partying and fun that's fallen behind and needs to be caught up on |

"We hate the place that much(bit of a presumption by some but I'll run with it), that we're on the cusp of booking a second holiday, for the end of the summer, into early autumn time....definitely a time for optimism, especially as we already have a drink arranged with at least 2 couples, that are resident there(who some assume we also hate), when we do get there. Disappointed, as we did miss out on four holidays there...but we'll make do with just the two.... for this year. We must really hate the place

Well said indeed. Thank you for those kind words and wise words I'll try to remember in future.
To those who have messaged me and agreed to put the last 12 months behind us, I thank you too.
My faith in human nature is restored and right now all I want is Covid-19 to end and party like I'm making up for lost time! |

Despite the UK making the ban on foreign holidays illegal, there's some good news mixed in with that.
Spain has ended it's blanket ban (and other bedding) on UK travellers except returning Spanish nationals. They still aren't allowing holiday travel but they are no longer banning Brits because of the "Kent" variant. Ok this is a small change and probably won't affect too many on this forum but it's things getting better ever so slightly in the right direction.
May 17 continues to be a much mentioned date... |

Hopefully we’ll get a clearer picture from Boris on the 12th April with regards travelling abroad from the 17th May.....everything crossed! x |

Yeah who knows. A cynical view would be that it's more about keeping economic stimulus money inside the UK borders, but I think with vaccinations and improving stats Boris can only keep you guys captive for so long before letting you "back out into the wild" as someone put it.
All we know is we want our friends back and we are waiting, watching and praying for borders to open up. Because judging from the mood.... People are going to party like never before when they get here!
