Dates you were there: Sat 2nd Aug – Sun 10th Aug


Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Rented Apartments in Playa Den Bossa (near Club Diva)


Club nights visited: Sat – Underground ; Sun – We Love… ; Mon – Release Yourself ; Tue – Carl Cox & Friends ; Fri – Pure Pacha


Best Night: Carl Cox, although an honourable mention to the Underground, fantastic DJs and great crowd

Worst Night: Pure Pacha – dodgy crowd stood around waiting to be entertained. Then Oakenfold on the decks was our cue to find another room.


Best Bar: None really stood out, mainly due to the fact that we mostly drank in the apartments before heading out.


Best Place to Eat: Had a great meal at Sa Capella, lovely venue too


Money Spent: Around £800 for spending money


Biggest Regret: Not booking two weeks like I keep promising myself


Going Back?: Of course (been 5 times and it keeps getting better)!


Top Tip: If you get your change on a plate in Pacha, always check under the receipt for rest of it (the sneaky, moody buggers)
 
Dates you were there: 31/7/08 - 13/8/08


Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Rented apartment in PDB.


Club nights visited: Radio 1 party @ Ibiza Rocks Hotel, Wonderland @ Eden (X2), Matinee @ Space (X2), Radio 1 party @ Amnesia, We Love Sundays @ Space (X2), Tiesto In Search Of Sunrise @ Privilege, Carl Cox @ Space, Subliminal Sessions @ Pacha, Cream @ Amnesia, Cocoon @ Amnesia, Armada @ Amnesia


Best Night: I really can't choose cause all of them were fabulous!


Worst Night: None.


Best Bar: Bora Bora (is it a bar anyway?)


Best Place to Eat: La Griferia


Money Spent: 3000 Euros


Biggest Regret: Not having time to do other things than partying, but that was well expected ahead ;)


Going Back?: Indeed - for this year's closing of the closing parties on 28/9/08 - 7/10/08.


Top Tip: Make sure to book Ibiza twice ahead in the same year - this is the best cure for the post Ibiza blues/comedown after you're back from the first Ibiza vacation, because you'll know you got another one awaiting for u just a little later in that season ;)

f**k me i'm famous - ridiculously full

best bar:
blue marlin

best place to eat:
atzaro was absolutely lush, trattoria del sole was delish but gave me a slight food poisoning. blue marlin was good but over priced as was pirates in formentera.

money spent:
god knows

biggest regret:
not staying for longer than a week!

going back:
oh yes.

top tip:
disco naps thru out the day. formentera. apparently the guest list for pacha now closes at 2, normally haven't had a problem getting in after that but perhaps they were more strict cos it was so packed.
 
Dates you were there :
16 - 24th august 08

where you stayed :
Hotel brisa - san antonio, basic but clean and the food was ok, bar cheap drinks and friendly service, only downfall was the idiot behind the reception at night time, power trip crazy or what!!!!

Club nights visited :
We love at space (boring music once the sunset terrace closed at 12midnight, left at 4am) - subliminal sessions wed - amazing club, busy but still room to dance etc and morillo was brill, played toca me at the end which everyone sang along too, amazing!!! Wonderland @ eden, again much better than space - groove armada headlining instead of pete tong made it better for me anyway.

Best night :
Subliminal sessions on wed.

Worst night :
We love @ space, alfredo was ace!! All other music was one tone and boring!!!

Best bar :
Bora bora bouncing all over the place in there - brill!!

Best place to eat :
Restaurant in ibiza town, didn`t catch the name but it was right opposite the main port, expensive but worth it.

Money spent : 2k, my advice is take your own drinks down the sunset and sit on the beach, mambos is a rip off.

Biggest regret: Coming home

going back: Yes defo, brilliant place, brilliant people - shame about the greedy club owners - in space be careful as the drink prices differ from room to room and get more expensive as the night goes on (disgraceful really)

top tips : Think cheap at the beginnging of your holiday and you may have some money left at the end of the week, email all the clubs and record labels before you go and ask for guest list entrys, i got 2 out of 4 which helped.
 
dates you were there: 24th-31th august

where you stayed: Gran Sol

club nights visited: Tiesto at Privilege, Armin @ Amnesia, Be/Tenaglia @ Space

best night: All - can't choose!

worst night: None

best bar: None, just drank our own from the supermarket!

best place to eat: Never ate out anywhere, didnt eat much

money spent: a LOT less than usual / ever before!

biggest regret: not being able to stay for longer than a week so we could have gone out more!

going back: Of course.

top tip: Its been said before somewhere on here but always check under your receipt in clubs for more euros, sneaky! Oh and also, if you have been given a free drink ticket dont show it the bar staff until AFTER they have poured your drink - i think it makes a difference as to which bottle they pour from and how much they give you, that was my experience anyway...

Oh and ANOTHER thing - dont listen to all the negative crap on this board about how Ibiza isnt this and Ibiza isnt that... is still is, and more.
