Dates you were there: 17th - 20th May, hen weekend, not my usual Ibiza holiday
Where you stayed: Marco Polo hotel, San An
Club nights visited: none West end, Ocean Beach and Mambo..
Best night: It gets some stick but I did have a great day at Ocean Beach. It's not my scene and I'm unlikely to go again, but I had fun. Paid for a drinks package before the holiday so didn't put my hand in my pocket all day and the drinks kept coming - cava, daquiri's, rose, vodka, we were there from about 3pm until close and I didn't have an empty glass. Music was decent in the day but remember being stood there at the end thinking wtf is this - my memory is too hazy to give specifics. Crowd is young as you might imagine (I'm 29 and most people were younger), but there was no aggro, at least not where I was, and no real 'look at me' people either, mostly just people having a good time with their friends.
Worst night: Didn't have a bad night but on the first night we were all wasted and ended up in the west end, I wanted to go to Soul City but it hadn't opened yet, so we ended up in this absolutely terrible bar right at the bottom - think pop music, a pole, cheap shots, sticky floor, trashed toilets, I might as well have been in Reflex in the UK. I lasted 30 mins then ducked out at 2:30am.
Best bar: Probably Mambo from this trip, waiter was great, cocktails were good.
Best place to eat: Tapas in San An, hands down my favourite place to eat on the island. Special mention to Ibiza Rocks bar for a really nice goats cheese salad too, massive portions and really good value, nice for lining the stomach or mopping up the booze from the night before.
Money spent: Somehow spent 300 euro even though I'd paid for most stuff before the holiday. I throw money away on holiday, have hazy memories of buying a round of hierbas for about 50 euro at the pool bar and thinking I'd got a good deal.
Biggest regret: That round of hierbas. And getting too drunk on the last day/night and being incredibly rough going home. I had major anxiety about flying and the alcohol didn't help. I was sick about 4 times before we left for the airport and was in a world of mental anguish.
Going back?: July -possibly my last Ibiza holiday for a few years... feel it's time to try some new things. But we'll see.
Top tip: Avoid the west end, obviously.
