Great week but not as good as expected

Just got back from my first week ever in ibiza.

Monday- Pacha, Release Yourself
Tuesday- Space, Carl Cox
Wednesday- Amnesia, La Troya
Thursday- wanted to go to cream but slept all night
Friday- El Divino, Defected
Saturday- Sunset at Cafe Del Mar then El Divino, Head Kandi
Sunday- Space, we love...

Carl Cox was by far the best night, best music, best crowd, best vibe. One of the best nights i've ever had, indescribable.
Watching the sunset at cafe del mar was awesome too. i didn't know that it could be such a relaxing feeling.
Friday was good at El Divino but saturday was so bad. nowhere to sit and too many loudmouth english.
Going to La Troya was a serious mistake. Someone told us it was good but i'm not gay and getting my ass felt as i walk across the dancefloor by 1000 guys wasn't fun. we left at 3:30am and went to San Antonio to get pissed instead and that was an even bigger mistake. What a disgrace of a place, the nightclubs stink like piss and spew and the pubs are full of people wearing english soccer jerseys and loose girls. We were only there for 45 mins then we paid the 25 euro cab fare back to playa den bossa.

My expectations for space on sunday were probably a bit too high and i was let down a little. Arrived at 2pm and had an awesome time on the terrace till about 5:30pm when it just got too packed and everyone was getting too pushy, especially the rude spanish women and their steroid taking boyfriends. got to the point where i was that pissed off i asked this silly little spanish bitch with a mullet for a haircut ( i don't understand why that's in fashion but anyways) if she understood english. she replied with yes and i said well do you understand f*** off. that felt a bit better until her boyfriend and his mates told me to piss off. over it anyway me and my mate went (but not before i intentionally stepped on this roid ragers foot as i walked off hoping never to meet him again) to have a few more drinks back at the apartment and wait till ben korbel from one of my local nightclubs in australia was playing in the discotheque. good set as were the next cople but by 7am i just couldn't kick on to DC10 like i wanted and left later that afternoon.

The clubs are second to none, as is the music but the people just aren't as friendly as i expected. In Australia people go out to clubs and are friendly, they enjoy talking to other people, they don't intentionally bump into other people to try and get more room for themselves on the dancefloor and they actually turn around and apologise if they knock into you. I was just expecting ibiza to be a really friendly place and i really don't think it is.

I don't like whinging too much because i did have an overall good time but if i go back i think i would choose my nights a lot more carefully.
 
hey sweetie...yeah i feel u that happen to me i felt the same some people werent cool they were a bit rude...but i also met some really cool people ...wish we could have bumped heads.....to make ur experience better ;)
 
i think that some people are rude cause they think they are so beautiful... when in reality that attitude makes them look so ugly...
not me im a happy somebody... im listening to music. dancing...thats enough to make me happy...


i have this girlfriend for example she would go out with me and always have this mean look on her face :evil: and guys would come up and she would be like yeah yeah uhh huh... and sorta scoot them away...
then they meet me and im all friendly :D and i talk to any one who is cool...im not gonna be rude... then they always end up askin whats wrong with ur friend and why u are u with her...
and u know what i dont even go out with her anymore because she killed the fun :twisted: :x ...u know...


people like that grow up to be ugly anyway... those mean faces freeze and then they look like that all the time...
 
hi matty,

i have edited a bit of the language(!) but otherwise shame it didn't live up to expectations. space especially does get full at this time of year - best time to go is probably in the morning now, or on other days - saturday, tuesday, etc

the crowds are the bane of everyone's life here in august !
 
I find ya have to get your spot on the terrace. I normally go for to the right of the DJ box on the raised steps...find your place and stay there!

Did it for a good 8 hours there last year and everyone around was friendly etc.

Pick wisely, as the middle gets far to busy!
 
There was no escaping it even on those steps, the terrace got so packed with bozos off their faces and people pushing the whole time we went upstairs to the new terrace which was much more chilled and some really good tunes - but agree with you Matty to a point, for instance I had a different more generally friendly experience at Pacha on the Subliminal night, and the people at Bora Bora were always friendly and laid back. But after Ibiza I went to the Glade festival in the UK and the friendly vibe from everyone there was really amazing, I reckon its the spirit of rave, which seems to get lost in Ibiza here and there

About those mullets, it's actually a cross between a mullet and punk mohecan.

I thought Pacha was a much better laid out club than most, it was so much more relaxed with lots of lovely places to sit and wasn't half as rammed! It was Friday night for Pete Tong and there was a big crowd, but it's better laid out which I think contributes a lot to the attitude of clubbers and people get less irritable if there is room to move at least! :rolleyes: We went to Cream @ Amnesia and really regretted it this year - it was just too busy to enjoy it. Shame, because the music was actually really good. :(

A.K.A. the "high-tech mullet"
They've always been the butt of so many jokes....I don't fathom what made them cool for anyone to sport.
 
....getting your ass felt by 1000 men? Err..... if someone chats you up.... cool..... as for getting your ass felt again and again... well... maybe don't do the gig in a pair of hotpants next time... the club may have been full of gay guys... but really - do you honestly believe you're THAT irresistible to these man-hungry sex-starved guys? I'm sure there were ample gay guys there for them to cruise without picking on poor put-upon heterosexual little you. Come on.....

A slight whiff of homophobia in that post. Not nice.

...and mullets? They aint ever good. Official.
 
thanks for all the replies guys. i think if i do go back i'll have a better time as i'll know what to expect and i'm glad there are others that agree that mullets definitely aren't cool.

as for you russt, i think your missing the point with my comments. i wasn't ever implying that my ass got felt because i'm straight and 'irresistible' as you say. i'm 100% sure that they were doing it to gay men also. i wasn't flying a banner saying i was straight so they probably assumed i was gay anyway. my point is i don't have anything against gays, i just don't enjoy being in the position i was in. but i do agree that maybe i shouldn't have been wearing hotpants. hahaha

Which La Troya were you at? I was at the opening party at La Troya in Amnesia this year, which I can only assume you're referring to since there's not another one (unless you count the carry-on) and I had a damn good time! Great music out on the terrace. Relaxed atmosphere. Sunrise peaking through the translucent ceiling... and no one grabbed my hot little ass!
 
We're hitting we love ... this Sunday for the first time (Ibiza virgins) & what you've just written raised a little bit of concern. During the day are there other places than the terrace outside that you can find space to dance if it gets too full on?

Also, we're pretty keen on a hard out 'clubbing' holiday & had DC10, Miss Moneypenny's & Cream on the must do list. From what I can get from the forums the crowds in these places aren't made up of posers & part time clubbers - is that right :?:

Cheers.

Completely agree with this. Not only is the music fantastic but the crowd are brilliant. No arrogance and posers just people there to have a good time. Everyone is incredibly friendly too and we got chatting to folk from all over the world.
 
I am so glad that all of you people think that mullets are wack. Me and a bunch of other guys from Canada just got back from Ibiza and couldn't believe how many people rocked mullets there. Not just guys either girls as well, that has got to be the ugliest haircut ever invented. Just thought I'd drop my 2 cents in regards to mullets.
 
Matty,

I'm also from Australia and i've been to Europe a few times and Ibiza twice and things there are different to what we're used to back here.

Pushing in and not standing in line are the norm particularly in Spain, Italy and Greece and things that we find unusual here is normal behaviour over there.

You have to remember that compared to Eurpope, we here in Australia lead very ordered and regulated lives and we are not used to the more 'liberal' European way of doing things. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is over there.
