Dates you were there: 4th until the 13th. of September
Where you stayed: Apartamentos Sunset & Secret Oasis, just a stone throw from san antonio, we always prefer to stay near san Antonio, this hotel is as the names says a little oasis, beautiful pool area, loads of trees and bushes, rooms are big with top aircon and the whole complex is well kept, the staff is very helpful and super friendly.
Club nights visited: DJ Harvey`s Mercury Rising at Pikes, Roy Rosenfeld and Sebastien Leger, All day i dream at Cova Santa
Best night: both nights were lit, i liked Harveys selection of Ibiza classics, anyone remember "precious little diamond" by fox the fox or "the night" by valerie dore? those tunes among other good classics took us back in time, the crowd and the staff were all very friendly, met a lot of nice people there, the dancefloor was well packed and moving around was not that easy, but once we found a spot, dancing was possible, wifey and me loved pikes.
Cova Santa was also very special, got there just shortly b4 9pm. with the tix i bought from ibiza spotlight that included one free drink. when i arrived the dancefloor was already busy, roy rosenfeld and sebastien leger played a chilling b2b set which got the crowd dancing and the vibe was very chilled, crowd from all ages, countries and backgrounds, also at cs I met a lot of friendly people. Later the party moved down to the club, which still was good but I prefered it more outside.
Worst night: on the way back from cova santa at 6.30 am. i got into a policia local control and had to blow, i blew 0.9, which is 0.4 over the limit, the policia local were nice but still took me to the station where I had to wait for a while, later they drove me to guardia civil station where I was released about 10 am. took a taxi back to the hotel. car was towed, had to pay 100 euros. A few days later i had to go to the juzgado in Ibiza town to the judge, that cost me another 600 euros fine, the bill will be sent by post they said, i was pretty scared for a while bc i wasnt sure if i had to go to prison, but everyone i met said no prison. i learned now that it was a big mistake to still drive back from the club, should have taken a taxi, never mind now it happened, silly old me.
Best bar: didn’t do any any indoor bars, just kumharas, my wifes caipirinha was delicious, also the los enamorades in portinatx was awesome.
Best place to eat: we liked la paloma, they do a good oriental salad and tasty homemade pizza, for brekkie or brunch we liked passion in san joseph.
Other restaurants we ate: tapas san antonio, food was good quality, sunset ashram, average but still ok. my wife liked the food at la cave in ibiza, we went there four times for lunch. at restaurant es bol nou we had a good paella, restaurant bellamar in talamanca also good paella, amante turned into a even more rip off place, way to expensive for what they offer, i was still hungry when we left, also good was pom thai restaurant which was recomended to us by a nice lady we met at pikes, food was good, big portions and friendly staff, guy at the bar offered me at least 4 hierbas, once we ate at double dragon the chinese on carrer des calo, which was good value.
Best beach and/or beach club: we loved cala xuclar and es bol nou. cala conte and cala escondida where too filled,
Money spent: enuff but it was worth every penny apart from at amante
Biggest regret: drink driving, didnt go to akasha
Going back?: sure, maybe later in october otherwise next mai,
Top tip: try to travel up to the north, visit the english speaking church in ibiza, make new friends
Observations and/or conclusion: what a great vacay we had, loved every bit, maybe next time need to go in mai or later in september as it was too hot during daytime, still love the island and the vibe.
