Lol I've never met you but I'd hope you're not in that category :p , I just find you get a bit of a beer boy contingent down there these days being all lairy when you just want to chill.

If on the rare occasions me and Tom want to chill I'd rather do it somewhere away from that.
 
hehe i thought you might explain yourself :D

No, i know what you mean, the place has gone all commercial and on times yes I know: too many lager fools around, the ones i absoultely detest too! hihi :D

I can imagine it was more easy going before, and time has made it a populair destination - but in the daytime nearer coastline on the strip, theres a good crowd there i think. or maybe i was simply lucky on the days i went?

It's right the other side to the sunset hole (sorry strip :p ;) ) if you're in San Antonio Town head towards the Bay and carry on round the coast for about 2 miles and you'll get there.

hehe..i'd have never found that quiet little spot off the cliffs to watch the sunset if you hadnt given me those directions. Personally i though it was amazing where i ended up taking in the beauty of the moment.. 8) ;) :p
 
Kumhares is really nice and the music isn't that loud - Stephen !
unless your sat nr the speakers or something.
The market place makes it interesting i suppose
 
the music was awful - my opinion
the music was too loud - fact
why go out with friends or family if you can't hear each other?

my wife said after that when kumharas originally opened it was nice and quiet ( i don't remember).
 
Hey guys - thanks for the updates. You're all great!

Looks like PDT is a pretty cool place - not as quiet as I suspected. Looks like I can find lots to do without too much effort! Looking forward to being there now..... Cheers!!
 
When i was there we had nice relaxing music that wasn't loud at all and we had a chello player for sunset. I could talk quite comfortably to my Gf without having to shout at all.
That was on the saturday night
 
lots of mixed opinions here, gonna check it out and will let you know mine on arrival back to boring work..........

2 weeks today!!! bring it on.....
 
i have never shouted once at Kumharas, you get brilliant views of the susnet and the place is really cool......Stephen, you dont go much out do you? :D
 
what time is Kunharas open til??

Only my first day in ibiza is a sunday so I might check it out after
 
Kumharas is brilliant, it's pretty authentic noone speaks English. We only found it through Dom the guy who does the watersports at san an bay.

If you walk along Pinet beach and carry on along the coast you can't miss it, there's a great big turret thing in the middle.

authentic what?

i'm afraid i get cynical about places that charge me 3 times the going rate for a drink and i don't know what i'm getting for the extra money.

i see kumharas as merely another marketing exercise designed to extract as much dinero as possible from a 'wannabe' public eager to attain peer approval.
quote/unquote discuss as my old politics professor used to say!

The prices wern't that bad when i was there about 5 euro's a drink and a jug of sangria for about 12 euro's at the end of the day its an interesting place to go in nice surroundings probably more suited to the younger clubby hippy type
The fact that your an older person stephen is why you don't see things like the younger people who chat on this forum This means in retrospect the places that you dislike has nothing to do with the actual place but more to do with your age and your demeanor which puts you in a different catogory to what you like and enjoy.
This is something that you have admitted many times in previous posts.
It is someone into heavy thrash music telling someone who is into dance music that it is a pile of rubbish.
Secondly anyone choosing to open a bar or any business should make as much money as possible. If a bar chooses to charge more than others and still gets busy then i'd say that is a good piece of marketing. There are probably many bars in Ibiza ( and the world ) that have really cheap drinks but still fail to get busy, therefore losing money as there are places that charge lots and are dead. Its all a matter of marketing and research if you can't be bothered to do this then you should close the business.
Obviously Kumhares have found a market and are doing well from it.
This is obviously not your market which is quite understandable.

I would describe kumhares as something similar to the other sunset bars that has a different look to the others, that is more out of the way than the others and that has less brit tourist beer boys e.t.c. They play chilled out music to the sunset and make it a bit more interesting by having a chello player fire dancers and a belly dancer. There is also an interesting indonesian resturaunt area that you can eat food while sat on floor cushions. The service is relaxed ( slow ) but friendly prices are not cheap but not expensive around 5 euro's for a drink and 15 euro's for a bottle of wine. There are also many little hippy stalls scattred around the place that sell things like beads jewellry and hand carved figures e.t.c

That is my unopinionated review of the place.
 
the fact still remains that you pay an extremely high price for poor service and if being 'old' helps me to understand that this is not a good deal then i'm extremely happy to have less money than sense.
secondly this board is not the exclusive domain of the young, nor the clubby - and that's why i'm here!
 
It still doesn't mean that cheap drinks and good service means a good place to go to. Like i said there are many places that offer this that are still quiet as there are place that are expensive and dead.
I never said that the forum is exlusive to the young and clubby but in the main these are the type of people that are posting on here.
These are the people asking the questions hoping to get a bit of advice off like minded people.
I thought it would be best to just write an unopiniated review that explains what the place is like so people can go and have a look for themselves with a bit of hindsight to what is there.
I have to agree though that having an explore and to find new places is a good idea, although some people are only away for a week and are trying to fit in as much as possible so knowing where to go b4 hand is better for them.
Its easier for you to find places and explore as you live there and have the time to do so.
I think that the main reason for people coming on the forum is to find out about places that they have heard of or would like to hear about and visit.
You should write about the places that you know about and explain what is there what music service prices e.t.c
If people like the sound of it then maybe they will check it out.

here's what i wrote 3 days ago

i personally wouldn't go to kumharas.
music too loud to hold a conversation
service non too clever. i waited 20 minutes for the waitress to meander in our direction and then she didn't bring glasses for my beer.
prices far to high - what am i paying for?
why oh why is there any need for a third world market place in a bar?

so why not try ses palmeres in pdt for a bit of sophistication and beautiful food.
es torrent bar on the beach for a bit of relaxed atmosphere
colmado maria theresa for an andalucian style lunch
there's even an erotic club in pdt now. - next to el magon restaurant.

there's plenty to do around the area - try es barraguet at cala bassa for live hippy music on saturdays without the hype of kumharas!

get out and explore

doesn't that follow your advice to the letter?
 
whoa you guys, what a dispute!
Well I can just say that i Love the place! it´s on my to do list every year and it´s becuz it has a real iberican charm to it.
it has to be experienced and seen, as the place is gorgeous and the settings are great.

age og no age, the place is just an attraction as much as cafe del mar is, this one is not so commercialised though!
 
I read about the other places but i still have not much idea what is going on there
Are they just resturaunts are they bars do they play music, what type e.t.c
Rough prices would be cool and where abouts will i find them.
