HOT:
-Austrian 17yr olds
-JET apts
-SPACE- BEST venue in the world now.
-DC10- second best club on the island
-local Dj’s
-MAMBO!! SO much better than Café Del Mar and Savannah
-Café Villa Mercedes – best restaurant on the island

NOT:
-the music at BoraBora – maybe its because I stayed right above BoraBora but seriously any place that plays that God awful Whitestripes remix 4+ times a day is shitty
-the music at Manumission
-THE WEST END
-British/American people invading Playa den Bossa
-Sasha’s set last Sunday
-Mullets/people who shave the sides of their head and leave the rest long. Ok maybe it was new and "cool" last year when maybe 5% of the people had it but this year it was closer 75%

More to come later as my memory recovers….

Yes to everything but Bora Bora. What was wrong with Sasha's set on sunday mate? CAN'T be a mixing issue surely? Was it his choice of tunes you didnt like?

Underground (what a club)

Could you specify the gender of the Austrian 17 year olds as I wouldn't want to make a faux pas slavishly adhering to your hot list.

Hot:

*Coccoon - still the best night on the island
* the emergence of techno - four solid nights which were all packed to capacity.
* Water at Amnesia. The only club with drinkable tap water.
* Bora Bora
* The number of good value nights when you look past the 'big' name clubs.
* S'illot des renclis - beautiful beach.
* Laurent Garner, Ben Sims, Christian varela, carl cox........all high quality performers.
* The general vibe and atmosphere.



Not:

* Women with enormous tattoo's
* The number of 'mullets'
* Toilets at Privilege - The most rancid, disgusting, smelly toilets i've ever been in. The club should be shut down by health inspectors until they get their sewage system fixed.
* The price of pure pacha tickets - 50 Euro's for 2 DJ's? Gimme a break.
* The bus service. Still inadequate.
* People who try to scab water, cigarettes, club tickets. I ususally told the to get f*cked.
* The amount of rubbish people leave on the beaches.......especially playa D' en bossa. Learn to clean-up after yourselves you dirty f**ks

Where are the taps that you get drinking water from at Amnesia? I thought Privilege was the only one with drinking water?

I agree with you on the techno front though.

Oh, shame we missed one-another. I went down to Bora Bora on Thursday but there was no sign of you.

Hi clara,

The meet-up was planned for Friday 3rd. I was there as planned wearing my red band. I only met one person (utagura) who turned up around 2.15. We stayed there till around 4pm, but then we decided to for a swim as i didn't think anyone else would turn up. We then went back to Bora Bora at around 6, but by then it was pretty packed and impossible to find anyone.

The water from the men's toilets in Amnesia is fine........very drinkable. As far as Privilege goes, i wouldn't take a s*it in those toilets let alone drink from there. The toilets (particularly at the northern end) are disgusting.

I read your review and sounds like you had a fantastic time, except for the mishaps. Shame we didn't catch up.
 
The water from Privilege comes from a spring and tastes fine. Trust me, I drank gallons of the stuff (and no, that wasn't what made me ill!). The water at Amnesia tasted rank although we tried the water purifying tablets trick...and it worked!

A pity we didn't meet. I probably danced next to you in one of the clubs though!
 
We got a very big problem with water in the Balearic Islands, we just don't have that much. So, is practicly impossible to have naice water in our taps, this is why we buy bottles.
 
Just got back (to be honest I'm Ibiza'd out)....

HOT: JET is a blast even if it is a bit noisy and messy
Space is awesome, the new (I think they're new) Terrace upstairs and the room upstairs taking a breather at Carl Cox was tight.
Pacha VIP, if you cough up an extra 50 Euro you won't be disappointed
El Divino, more intimate, not as crowded (this was Defected) and the tunes were spot on
Seeing the island, Atlantis and Es Vedre are breathtaking, also the northern part of the island's beaches are very chill and clean (San Miguel in particular)
I enjoyed Kumharas food and atmosphere for the second year in a row more than Del Mar
DC-10 Kicked it again this year, wish the DJ hadn't moved to the inside however :confused: ....

NOT: Manumission blows. Music is predictable and tinny, can't see the show, and some kids were doing a dance where they picked each other up and threw one another, also spilling my drink (12 Euro)

Playa D'en Bossa really begins to wear on you after a week. Same people, scuzzy surroundings, dirty beach. Nice scenery though ;)

Overall my trip was the best I've ever had, no complaints. The attitudes haven't changed, but the key is to just meet who you can. I HIGHLY recommend getting out and seeing the island. It's beautiful and a very good recovery break from the club-to-club drag.....

Hola! I didnt think much of the VIP in Pacha. Did you manage to get one of them hot dancers or something? :lol:
 
I liked the amount of room and easy bathroom access. Yes, we were there on Wednesday for Morillo and a couple of the dancers were unbelievable and flirty (believe me I'm not saying I had a chance) ;)

From my reckoning, you must have been there at the same Manumission as me (6 September).

Can I ask, did you go into the Music Box room, especially after 4am? If so, I think you would've found the music to be anything but predictable. The guys who were on (Optimo) are many things, but predictable they are not! :lol:
 
Unfortunately, no. I was trying to keep 3 people who had never been there before together, which doesn't leave much room for exploring....That's not Manumission's fault though.....

I agree, but the Music Box had plenty of room and top notch tunes.

Next time perhaps? :D

:eek: What night did you go to?

I walked past Eden on a Wednesday and were told that myself and Theo could get into MoS for free at about 1.30am so we suspected they weren't doing the best trade.
