Solo travel advice needed...

Hi everyone, advice needed please...

I was meant to be travelling with a friend to ibiza in two weeks however, like a true friend, they've dropped out last minute due to money problems.Now I'm okay with spending one night alone as a group of friends are flying out two days after I arrive and staying in the same hotel so I guess I will sunbathe, eat out and retire to my room etc BUT they all fly back on a Saturday afternoon whereas I fly back Monday morning. This leaves almost two whole days by myself and I will probably be in tatters from a week of partying.

What should I do?
1. Would you change your flights to fly back with friends and spend money on another flight, lose money on hotel etc
2. Book in to a spa hotel for the last two days and chill out at a large expense
3. Just fly back on flights that are already booked and stick it out for the last two nights... If so what is there to do in San An on your own???
Can't think of a 4th option at the minute but any advice is welcome :)

I'm sure you will meet people over there, there will new people arriving and leaving everyday from your hotel...new friends to hang with for your last 2 days! Is your friend's (the one who has dropped out) flight back already bought and paid for? You could always ask one of your other friends if they want to stay an extra 2 nights and take her space on the flight?
 
Thanks for the reply, yeah though of that one mate but to change the name on the booking for some reason costs more than buying a new flight with the online agent I used to book everything. Yep everything is booked and paid for! I think just hanging out and making new friends seems the best option.
Has anyone had experience of actually going to a club on their own? Last time I went there seemed to be lots of solo travellers on the disco buses so is it a common thing?
 
4th option, team up with me lol!

I'm in same boat as friend pulled out at last minute, pfff.

Worst case I'll just read book by the pool, best case come back not remembering anything ;)
 
I'm going to wing it first day and hopefully can tag along with people to DC-10 tomorrow night would be gutted if I missed it!

I'm sure you'll be fine! Don't worry if you don't find a crowd to tag along with - just go anyway and you'll be fine! I'm on my own at the moment (flight back in a day or so - my friend left two days ago). Just chilling with beers and sunsets!
