Right, might of been my last trip to Ibiza for a while so I thought I'd write a review!
The start wasn't the best, Jet2 from Leeds for some reason didnt have enough fuel so we had to stop in Bournemouth to re-fuel! 10mins took 1.5hrs stuck on the ground with no drinks or anything!
Arrived at the Tarba hostel about 8pm feeling hungover already! Hotel was good and we headed out for food which sorted us out and we hit the west end (dont worry, just cheap drinks, we didnt stay long)! I thought it was generally quiet this year but neverless still a nice vibe in the air which i hope never goes away! After the west end we headed over to HUSH for a quick few beers before getting to Plastik. Tunes were quality in plastik, really got us all going! After an hour or so it was already 1.30am so we headed to Itaca for 'Departure' - this was really busy but well worth a visit, we headed off about 5am and it was still rocking deep vibes, nice .... good first night!
Saturday we felt pretty rough so headed down to Sun Sea Bar, our fav day cafe on the sunset strip! Few bottles of wine and we felt better! Tried to eat something then went back and got ready for Hed Kandi! We decided to go down the sunset strip to Savannah for the pre party when the tunes were really goood, nice and funky and perfect for us! We slowly headed back to Plastik before going into Hed Kandi! The music in Es Paradis was good, DJ messed up a few times but all in all the 2 ladies playing we goood! The place wasnt anywhwere near full, plenty of room but not empty enough to notice. All in all good night and would receommend! Did notice the tickets were cheaper on spotlight and we thought 40 euros was a bit steep for this night! Rolled in about 5.30am feeling good
)
Sunday we were starting to get tired so decided to go on a day session to Playa Den Bossa!! Chilled at Bora Bora and went over and checked Plastik Beach. Bora Bora was ok, same vibe as last time I went! Loads of people dancing and the music was average! Plastik beach is a really nice bar but was pretty dead! Talking to the PR she said most people come very late about 3/4am and mong out there, really nice setting all the same. Not fancing We Love Opening due to last time went being really poor, we headed back to San An for an early night! Well we ended up in HUSH till 5am so wasnt that early lol Have to say realy like HUSH at the west end, one of the only bars we like in the west end.
With all intentions we really wanted to go to DC10 on Monday but after the football we thought it might be too late! and some of us were already a bit worse for ware! We headed back for showers and hit the sunset strip where once again Savanahh was kicking out some really nice vibes! Hit mambo then off to Itaca for a few hours! Everyone was now feeling it so we went back and tbh the vibe on Monday was pretty poor - not many people around and just seemed quiet.....oh well back to the hotel for us!
Tuesday we walked right round to cala gracio - nice walk to clear our heads (and got burned to a crisp). !! Even though we didnt do many clubs i thought the music this year was the best! Back to some nice funky house I did think it was a little quiet at times but still best place on earth for me! Regret not going to more nights especially DC10 to see the martinez bros, Maceo Plex etc but that always seems to happen lol
Got a few other commitments now like houses, family etc so looks like my ibiza days might be over so i'm hoping one of my mates gets married soon so I can use that an excuse to come back! Deffo need to do DC10 and Amnesia before i die lol!
Also recommend the Tarba Hostel...clean, nice staff and cheap. Can't hear the west end and it's perfect for access near the egg etc. Having stayed in Marco Polo II, Osiris previously, beats both hands down!
Ok i'm going to carry on with my ibiza blues now and dream of a return visit one day
p.s we checked out progress on Ocean Beach near the bay!! How the hell will they finish that for the 28th???? So much still to do!
