__________________
 
Where you stayed (resort/hotel): La Sirena, San Antonio Bay. Would recommend. Not too noisey, just enough out of san an centre to mind the madness. and the cleaners were lovely! Food wasnt awful, you get what you pay for grub. Very clean also, and amazing views of the sunset.

Club nights visited:

Channel Zoo @GALA €25 (brilliant),

Warung @Privilege (free)(Cocoloco was lots of fun),

GLAS @ Es Paradis (good night, free wristband, prob wont go again though, apart from in birmingham),

Mondo Loco @ Eden (free wristband, surprisingly good, wish we had stopped over Matinee

Matinee @ Amnesia (€30, nothing compared to when it was at space)

Swedish House Mafia @ Pacha (€47, and kylie was incredible... loved the chill out terrace, hung out there until about 5am when the main room wasn't packed anymore and could dance to the swedes).

Best night: oooh, its hard, Swedish House Mafia is most memorable, but night at Channel Zoo and Warung was Epic, Solomun in Cocoloco room was amazing.

Worst night: Matinee @ Amnesia. baring in mind I hadnt been since 2007 at Space, where it was my fave night on the island. I was so so let down. I knew it was going to be completely different to Space, but it has turned into a complete meat market. No chance in catching me there again.

Best bar: BayBar... incredible, the lil dude that is pr from Barnsley is just lovely, and the entertainment etc is fab. also had a great meal there before shm.

Best place to eat: Pacha Restaurant is my fave place to eat, didnt really eat anywhere incredible on this visit, Savannah and mambos were good though.

Money spent: £1300 for 2 of us... we were chuffed, after saving 2k for the hol!

Biggest regret: Missing the Carl Cox Opening... gutted... gutted... gutted... je ne suis hardcore anymore....

Going back?: SPOTLIGHTERS CONVINCED ME/US!!! 21 SEPT... so I can catch Carl!

Top tip: the only tickets i brought before were carl cox and i didn't use them. every time i have been to ibiza i have got tickets and ended up either crashing out, getting swine flu or going somewhere else cos of the advice... i wouldn't buy tickets before i go again... unless my first time.

VIVA IBIZAAAAA!

ps... they were actually playing a Beyonce remix on the terrace for Matinee... whats that all about!!?!?!?
Only been to Amnesia twice, and both bad experienced... thinking about not going again... :confused:

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): sal rossa PDB. 2nd stay at sal rossa and cant say enough about how good this place is. got a room with sea view which totally made the holiday, the colours the sky goes when getting dark is incredible. thought the beach at bora bora was the best place to watch this but your own balcony is pretty amazing! also got to watch the sun rise over ibiza town every morning after coming home from a club. one night saw a perfect sunset in san an, then went out all night at SHM and then got back to the balcony on time to see a perfect sunrise! perfect cycle! hahahaha

Best night: subliminal - went for a meal in pacha resturant before this and ended up one of best nights ever. know its cheesy for some of you and i also love my techno but morillo played SHM - number one and then ended with temper trap axwell remix (almost anyway think it may have been 2nd last song but we left after this as it was the perfect end, been listening to the original all holiday on the balcony!)

Dates you were there: 06.07.2010-13.07.2010

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Club C'an Bossa

Best night: hmmm.. its between Cafe Ole and Kehakuma

Worst night: I'm sad to say this, but SHM at Pacha was by far worst due to INSANE overcrowding... next year there is no way I'm going without a VIP reservation... music was great though

Best bar: I brought my own alcohol so I didn't do much bar hopping...

Best place to eat: Bora Bora... amazing sandwiches!!!

Money spent: 500 euros as spending money for the week (all gone), and 600 euros for the hotel and flight

Biggest regret: spending money on alcohol at clubs...

Going back?: without a doubt!! 10 month countdown begins... :)

Top tip: if you lay out on the beach in Playa d'en Bossa during the afternoon you'll get free entrances to clubs... I got wristbands to all clubs except Pacha so there is no point in wasting money on club tickets. Another thing (which may sound like common sense) is DO NOT leave your belongings out of your sight! My purse was a few centimeters away from me and someone stole it while I turned in the other direction. OH AND DEFINITELY do a boat party!!! SO WORTH IT. Hope this helped!! xx
 
Dates you were there: July last year, can't remember exactly cos I ended up staying longer then intended :confused:

Where you stayed (resort/hotel): Hostel Anibal, just far enough out the way but only 10 mins from west end walk, stayed in Hostel Torres the year before that and did the same as I have on this review really except I ended up a digital camera, pair of rayban sunglasses, 3 pairs of shorts and 400 euros short after leaving my hotel room and safe unlocked one night :cry:
