Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel for 2011

Although if they served bottled beer for €5 which is still way above what they pay for it, I believe they would make more money than say charging €15. People would go there to drink instead of turning up drunk from balcony beers. The same with the clubs.

I tend to agree with the above.

From what I've read, operationally it is currently still finding it's feet, but in terms of business model I've think they've pretty much nailed it.

Of course, opinion is split on what they're trying to achieve. I know a lot of people seem to be anti this "exclusive" VIP-esque parade that Ushuaia, Blue Marlin and Pacha to a certain degree are following.

I kind of sit on the fence. If you have the £££, then it's your choice what you spend it on. If you don't have the money, or don't wish to spend your hard earned £s on it, then don't. Simple.

Sure, there is ALWAYS going to be a degree of pomposity, arrogance and/or attitude with this crowd. It's part & parcel. But to say that people with money can't "get" or appreciate "real" music is frankly ridiculous.

Sadly, money talks. And this is true in every walk of life. It'd be naive to believe Ibiza was immune to its allure, in spite of it's spiritual and cultural ethos.

That suits me fine. Let the posers pose somewhere with 15 euro drinks and I will find like minded people elsewhere who I can get hammered and have fun with with out loads of people looking down their noses at us.

This is a kind of inverted snobbery. Some people will never ever accept that you can earn extreme money and be cool or get good music!
 
Ushuaia

I haven't been to Ibiza since 2008. Is it right across from Space?

It's listed on google maps, but doesn't seem to be in the right place. Is it part of the Fiesta hotels complex?
 
cant believe what theyve turned it into. heard someone call it the 'ibiza rocks of playa den bossa', so true

very disappointing
 
Hmnn.. because when I looked at photos, it sort of looks like a revamped Fiesta hotel (the Fiesta club) which I stayed in one year when they were over booked at the Fiesta hotel.

IF IF IF I go back this year, it will feel like a maze! After having gone 6 years in a row, then missing three, it'll all be new!

It wasn't there in 2008... Ushuaia was... but i think it might have been somewhere else?

Not sure I like what it's become either, but if I'm there, I might pop in... Not really interested in a lot of the music there though.

So, did Ushuaia used to be somewhere else in 2008?

I was there last thursday four Luciano vagabundos. Beer is actually 8 euros, mixed drink 12 euros and brand alcohol/mixer 15 euros.
 
Is it still a small plastic glass of beer for that or do you get a proper-sized drink ? The branded drink/mixer price seems to have come down since opening - maybe it varies depending on the party or they just realised 18 was taking the mickey a bit for an afternoon party ?!

I am sure you will liven the place up Vic! I have yet to experience the new Ushuaia so I am purely going on hearsay, just doesn't sound like my thing now though. Let us know how you get on x
