Best Place to Eat: Bel Sito in by port in San An. 3 courses, very nice, bottle of nice local wine, good service - just 50 odd euros

Top Tip: Get your ass to Formentera - I've been to Ibiza loads and now realise how great it is. Dunno why I never made it before.

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Jet Bossa , Play Den Bossa
Club nights visited: We Love@Space. Trip to La Troya postponed until September due to injury !!
Best Night: The last Night of the holiday at Bora Bora. Feeling a bit down and depressed because of the impending departure but DJ Gee dropped 'You Bring Light In' by UnderWorld and all seemed well in the world.
Worst Night: In Ibiza Town. Ripped off with drinks prices left right and centre. Loved walking round and the atmosphere but felt abused by the exhorbitant prices charged in certain establishments. Moan , moan moan . . .
Best Bar: Predictable I know but Bora Bora. Effortlessly carries the atmosphere and togetherness that I yearn for in the clubs / bars in the UK.
Best Place to Eat: Passion in PDB
Money Spent: Not a lot !!! . . alcohoic drinks, baguettes and pasta from the Supermarkets paid off fine style and left some money for next time.
Biggest Regret: Not visting the locals bars in Ibiza Town rather than the trendy ones with MAD prices.
Going Back?: YES !! In September. Its the only fact thats keeping me sane as write this on my first day back at work !
Top Tip: Get to Salinas or Es Cavellet, strip off, chill and swim. Feel free and smile. . . .and get to the Space Terrace early. OK, you may not see the big name DJs but you get room and there is a lot to be said for that in my opinion. Also its cheaper the earlier you go.

Robo said:Dates you were there: May 18-26 June 29-? (I´m still here)
Where you stayed (resort/hotel): My apartment in San An Bay
Club nights visited: Manumission, Space, Some small clubs in San An, Dave Pearce in Eden
Best Night: Manumission/Sace, Space was awesome, Dave Pearce is always good.
Worst Night: Haven´t had a bad one, but one of my mates needed looking after on Weds
Best Bar: Too many to name
Best Place to Eat: Can´t name it, think I´m the only non-Spanish bloke who eats there, they don´t advertise & want to keep a low profile...
Money Spent: Probably 300-400 euro so far, not too much.
Biggest Regret: none
Going Back?: I´ve already cancelled my flight back twice, was supposed to go back a few days ago, prob go back early next week..... I don´t care anymore! Met some great people this hol, maybe friends for life.. I´ve already booked September, I´ll have a look next week at getting a few days in August.
Top Tip: Just do what you enjoy, have a good look around, it´s all there! If it´s your first time you must buy goggles & swim in the sea there´s plenty of marine life to see & it´s free! Get on the guest list & if you do, go early (aout 01.00/01.30) if you´re doing Privilege, the queue gets very slow after 02.00. 8)
please copy the above into your reply and fill in the blanks!
