The continuation of the 2006 one is annoying me. :lol:

Dates you were there: 15-23 June 2007

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Lux Mar apartments, Figueretas (Location and price couldn't be more perfect for a budget holiday)

Club nights visited: Underground, Tahiti (if it counts), WLS opening (Space), Cocoon opening (Privilege), Monza opening (Privilege), Nude (Prestige).

Best Night: WLS opening (because Space is Space), Monza opening (Ibiza's best crowd and music policy)

Worst Night: Nude (undercover police = grrr)

Best Bar: KM5

Best Place to Eat: Sa Capella

Money Spent: £600 *edit* £700 - not sure how that happened! lol

Biggest Regret: Not having a meal at Pacha (cr*p club but gorgeous place and an Ibiza break without it seems strange)...also all the best nights being at Privilege (great place but not my fave and variety would've been nicer)...and the obvious DC-10 GRRR. :evil:

Going Back?: September

Top Tip: Be careful kids! 1. NEVER buy anything in a club. 2. DON'T carry loads on you. 3. DON'T have stuff in your pockets in taxis or cars en route to clubs as police may carry out a random search. 4. If you need to do something naughty, ALWAYS do this in a toilet cubicle and not on the dance floor.

The UK this ain't and it's not worth the bother. ;)

Worst Night: No such thing in Ibiza

Best Bar: Don't really do bars but Passion for good food, smoothies and a nice rose certainly does the trick

Best Place to Eat: Not being biased cos we had our wedding reception there but the food and setting at Cap des Falco is out of this world

Money Spent: I dread to think :eek: :lol:

Biggest Regret: Don't do regrets

Going Back?: What kind of stupid question is that :lol: 2 weeks in September for Closings :D Then I'll start planning for 2008 :lol:

Top Tip: Eating out in ibiza is fantastic - take advantage. You can also drink the tap water at privilege which saves a few bob...

...all those efforts trying to paint a classy picture of myself casually sipping expensive cocktails at KM5 have now been replaced by me scrabbling around on the floor desperately syphoning dirty privilege pool water down my throat. Thanks. :rolleyes::lol:

Dates you were there: June 19-29th

Where you stayed: Hotel Victoria, Talamanca

Club nights visited: Meganite Opening @ Privilege, F*** Me I'm Famous @ Pacha, Pure Pacha @ Pacha; Hed Kandi @ El Divino, We Love @ Space, Subliminal Sessions @ Pacha

Best night: **** Me Im Famous @ Pacha with Guetta, Ingrosso, Angello and Sarah Main - AMAZING! I fell in love with Pacha, such a beautiful club! and I love El Cielo/Funky Room! The music in there was sick! At first it was kinda calm, so we sat in the sofas chillin with the expensive beer (haha!), then suddenly this funky house track with drums and **** came on and I was like WOHA! jumped up and went nuts! From there it went on for a few hours :p

We Love @ Space was also crazy!!! Got there around 12am, the sunset terrace was PACKED with people goin loco! felt like heaven! then we found the roof terrace, chilled there many times during the party, really nice atmosphere up there! the design of the place was really nice!, then we accidently found the main terrace! daaamn huge! Fanciulli, Smokin Jo, Buckley and Elio Riso tore the place apart! AMAZING! Checked out Tom Novy on the Sunset Terrace, totally packed! In total: LOVED THIS PARTY!!! def. gonna check it out again next summer! :)

Worst night: Que? No such thing! Well, perhaps Hed Kandi @ El Divino - sure the music was really really good! the club itself was also very nice, but I dunno, there was somethin, perhaps the crowd that didn't get to me ... or maybe it was me feelin a bit tired and not up for it. Whatever, hehe

Best bar: Well, we hung out alot at that Pacha bar in Ibiza Town next to the harbor, really lousy service and food! Drinks and music was very nice thou.

Didn't go to that many bars, so dont have that much to compare to ...

Best place to eat: Can't remember any names, but I loved the Spaghetti Carbonara at this restaurant in Playa D'en Bossa, I think it was close to Jet Apartments, but I could be wrong.

Money spent: ~950 EUR - need more money next time I go there! the drinks were so expensive! I was warned about this before I flew out there, but didn't think it was that crazy! So next time - more money! need to do a lil' shoppin aswell :p

Biggest regret: Missin' out on Release Yourself & Renaissance @ Pacha! :( We were supposed to go to Release Yourself, was really up for it, went into town for dinner and drinks and stuff, but then we all went tired! we just weren't up for it anymore! :( SUCKED! damn sun ..., hehe ... ! And for Renaissance, **** ... last day on the island (28th of June), we were flyin home the next morning, our flight was to depart at 7am. We really needed to sleep since it was a long trip home. So we missed Renaissance :( Digweed, Cattaneo and Jimmy Van M .... :(

Going back: No! ........... OFCOURSE FOR **** SAKE! haha! loved it and defenitly will be back, hopefully next summer! Would love to bring the girlfriend with me next time thou ...

Top Tip: If you haven't been there before, defenitly check out Pacha and Space! F*** Me I'm Famous and We Love that is :D8)
 
Dates you were there: 20-27 June 2007

Where you stayed (resort/hotel):Formenterra Apartments, San An (cheap as chips so can't really complain!)

Club nights visited: F**k me i'm famous, WLS, Some crap at Eden!!

Best Night: WLS - would of liked to have been there in the day as well really

Worst Night: Eden and having to do the West End two nights in a row :cry:

Best Bar: Mambos

Best Place to Eat: Davids (Although I only got to eat out twice - :twisted::twisted::twisted:)

Money Spent: £500

Biggest Regret: Not getting to Space till later, not getting to go where I wanted to go, not getting to got to Formenterra in the day, not watching the sunset enough, not staying long enough in Pacha - the list is endless

Going Back?: Hopefully September to get to do all the things I wanted to do!:D
 
Dates you were there: 15 June - 7 July

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Sol Bahia, San Antonio - best I have stayed in by some distance, conveniently located but quiet.

Club nights visited: Tahiti, Cream (Bar M), Manumission (Privilege), Circo Loco (DC10), Defected (Pacha), We Love Sundays (Space), Dusted (Eden), Club Azuli (Space).

Best Night: Club Azuli - music was perfect, great crowd and really good entertainment. WLS wasn't far behind though!

Worst Night: Dusted. I will give further details when I write my review, but I really cannot emphasise enough what an appalling night this was.

Best Bar: Developed quite a liking for Mambo this year. Es Raco Verd was good too.

Best Place to Eat: Soooo much good food, but Cardomom Club and Kumharas were probably the best.

Money Spent: Flights were next to nothing, maybe about £40 each. Accommodation about £700 for the two of us. Spending money I'm not so sure about, but maybe around a grand between us

Biggest Regret: I was disappointed not to see Frankie Knuckles, but I don't regret it as such as going to Pacha that night would have had an adverse effect on my enjoyment of Space the next day.

Going Back?: Yes, lucky number seven will definitely be happening, not sure when though. Might sneak a week next year or it might not be until 2009.

Top Tip: Go to Tahiti/Bora Bora on a Friday evening, the Space team are out in force handing out free entry armbands for La Comunidad and Matinee, and discount armbands for Azuli.

Belated Ibiza rundowns 2007

Dates you were there: June 1-8 and July 14-22. A double whammy. If only I could afford to do this every year.

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): June: Apartamentos El Puerto, Eivissa. July: Lux Mar apartments, Figueretas.

Club nights visited: June - Space opening, Circo Loco opening afterparty at Privilege, Subliminal opening at Pacha plus a couple of Bora Bora sessions.
July - We Love at Space, Circo Loco at DC-10, Cocoon at Amnesia, La Troya/Fake at Space plus a couple of Bora Bora sessions. (Oh yeah, and Anfora, but that doesn't count.)

Best Night: Tough call - there were many golden moments at each. Soundtracks to said golden moments were provided by, among others, Oliver at Space opening, Erick Morillo at Pacha (never thought I'd write that but I had a blast at Subliminal, which we went to on the spur of the moment), 2ManyDJs at We Love (who delighted my indie-loving mates by dropping an Arcade Fire tune), Jon Ulysses closing the Sunset Terrace at We Love (a great set to cap a wonderful afternoon/evening sesh), Oliver again at La Troya (the last track he played, Air Conditionne, is my Tune of 2007).

But the stand-out set was Luciano's at DC-10 on July 16: two hours of pure musical bliss with the terrace at its most fervent. The pivotal moment came when he played Reach as the sun was setting. One of my all-time favourite records in one of my favourite places to dance. It doesn't get much better than this, was what I was thinking as the siren wailed for the second time before the beat crashed back down and the place went nuts. (Oliver also played Reach at La Troya; I guess because the Strictly Rythym back catalogue's been re-released it's come back onto people's radar screens).

Worst Night: Didn't have a bad one. By default, it was Cocoon, I suppose. I still had a good time but I had been really looking forward to Ricardo Villalobos on the terrace and his set didn't reach the heights I'd been expecting. Hawtin was interesting in the main room but whoever was on before him, Andre Galluzzi I think, was more entertaining than either of the others.

Best Bar: Didn't really do much bar-hopping this year. I love El Teatro in Eivissa for a civilised early evening drink watching the world go by.

Best Place to Eat: KM5. Food's good but the vibe is what makes it great.

Money Spent: Too much to think about right now.

Biggest Regret: What on earth have they done to Bora Bora? Since it re-opened, they appear to have decided to ban dancing on tables. Why? Is the idea to placate the authorities? I can't imagine the local bigwigs'll look more favourably on a licence renewal application just because a few muntered punters are no longer shaking their booties on the tables outside. And it makes one hell of a difference to the atmosphere, which was much, much more subdued the other week compared with early June before the closure.

Going Back?: September's a temptation . . . but (sigh) I'd probably better be sensible. Hard though, as this might be the last year for some while that I get to Ibiza. Still, can't complain, I had a blast this year both times.
