I was going to do a full day by day detailed review, but it was taking forever, so here are my 11 days in a nutshell, my 12th year and approximately 22nd visit, August 24th to September 4th:


Clubs:

Best night was Come Together at Space last Thursday, Mauro Picotto was quality, seen him and Paul Rich on the Terrace and a bit of Calvin Harris and Felix Da Housecat inside. That was deffo the best night, Picotto had the terrace rocking and the atmosphere was electric!

DC10 was good, but it wasn't quite as crazy and wasn't quite as kicking as I was expecting. I enjoyed it and will deffo go again, but I was expecting a bit more from it. But even the girls who live there and go every week where saying that one was the most low key ones they've been too, so maybe I just picked a bad week to go.

I did 3 Amnesia's, two Armada's and a Cream, the first Armada was Armin and Sander Van Doorn, Armin was quality, Sander wasn't great, a lot of the people I was with left early, I stayed until the end though and he picked it up the last 45mins. Went in for a bit of Roger Sanchez too and he was quiet good. Second Armada was Armin and Markus Schulz, that was really good, Schulz played first, then Armin, then they went back to back for the last hour. Cream was PVD and Giuseppe Ottaviani, PVD was actually really good, best I've seen him in a while and Giuseppe rocked it too. Went into Deadmau5 for a while to see what all the hype was about, it was absolutely jammers, but he wasn't great, so after 10 mins it was back to the main room!

Beaches:

We rented a car for a day during the first week and did a bit of a beach trail! Went to Calla Basa first, followed by Cala D'Hort and finally Calla Conta for the sunset, a nice day out, but I was fairly wrecked from the first couple of days and was going to Cream that night, so opted out of the trip to McDonalds after the sunset and headed back to San An for a siesta!

Accommodation:

First 4 nights we where booked to stay in the Florencio, but where we arrived to check in, we where told we where staying in the San Francisco, which was good in that we had a lovely big apartment to stay in, but not so good in that there was no air con, which was the main reason we where staying in the Florencio in the first place. I was in a villa with another group of friends for the other 7 days, the villa was located up the road from the Tapas Restaurant at the left turn off the road where Linekers and Burger King are. It was only a 10 minute walk from that road, so was a lot closer to civilisation than last years one we had up at Calla Salada. The Villa was lovely, 6 bedrooms, nice kitchen and big living area. Had air con, a roof terrace, terrace/patio area, nice pool and a water feature beside the pool for sitting in and diving into the pool. The neighbours where a bit weary of us and we got a knock from the policia local one night to keep the music down, but apart from that it was all good and I'd recommend it.

Food/drink:

Had 3 or 4 nights in Tropi's, a couple at Golden Buddah and watched the football in Neptuno a couple of days. Went to Burger King a few times and also went the Chinese next to Burger King at the fountains. Apart from that, it was just snacking as we went along or eating and drinking at the villa.

Summary:

Overall it was another great trip, it absolutely flew in though! Seemed to be sessioning alot more this year than last, only had 2 rest nights, other than that, it was fairly full on! Glad I made it to DC10 and Space, would have liked to get to Pacha and Privilge too, but there just wheren't enough days in the week or energy in my body! Looking forward to next summer already and also to my second off season visit at the end of October, for a chill out birthday weekender.
