Vacation, Vacation, Vacation....Ch4 - 8pm tonight

Quite a decent little look at the island for a change!

I will be at Cala Nova may/june,very happy I won't be bumping into KA....
 
Ah right I thought it was a bit cheap to be that... I like it, thats where I want to go when I get married very nice! Has anyone here been there? didn't really think their review was the best and now we've had 3 different sides of Ibiza the 2 shown here the westend culture on Ibiza uncovered but never yet seen the kind of holiday I would do, I'd like to see that on TV :)
 
Not if your paying for your downloads... Ok first they went 'camping'(?) in Ibiza which involved staying in a wooden hut.... this was meant to be Ibiza on a shoestring and cost 55 euros a night self catering. They were cute huts very peaceful but I wouldn't really go there myself. They then went horeseriding which is something that i would never ever do.. but thats just me I wouldn't get on a horse after that awful incident 25 years ago on Porthcawl beach. When they did the more glamorous side they stayed in 'Atzaro' although I didn't hear them mention this not sure if they did but Don Simon was able to inform me. The rooms were gorgeous and would be perfect for a wedding or honeymoon. They went for a meal at the restaraunt and said the food was excellent but they didn't really show much of the bar etc which I was hoping to see. They also went on a boat to a secluded beach for a picnic. Personally I thought they could have showed more of Ibiza town for example.. it just seemed very short and a lot of time was spent bickering.
 
I was going to say,if you want to see about 20 mins of the quiet side of Ibiza (filmed last october)
then go for it. Good summary by hk there btw.
 
I think they were trying to promote the island out of season as a nice quiet relaxing break and to show its not all party orientated.

This programme didnt show me anything i didnt know already although for some who have a pre conceived opinion of Ibiza, it might make them think about going.

How the hell can Formentara bare any resemblance to a uk beach though ?????
 
I thought that considering they were trying to promote Ibiza to people who have never been, while showing a side other than partying, it was strange that they didn't go to Ibiza old town which is something that would draw in a lot of sight see-ers and many people have no idea that it even exists. I also agree with Crispy Duck , if there is a beach like that in Britain it is a better kept secret than Ibiza's hidden beach! I appreciated the line "I was born middle aged" though :lol:
 
I watched this, not as totally sh 1t as it could have been but it was never going to good was it. Phil was evidently a major pill head in his time and clearly loves the place (quid to anyone with a photo of him on a bora bora table). Did make me laugh tho when he said something like there is no elitism here - yeah through those mdma shaped glasses maybe mate!

It's all well and good saying it's done on a budget, but basically finishing every section with a quick 'and it doubles in price outside of mid october' is a bit of cheat - you could make the show 10 seconds long and have a parrott saying 'book in the off season'.
 
For a 25-30 minute show they did as best they could, always a bit of a push making something worthwhile watching in half an hour.....

I think people just need to wake up and see that every country has different sides to them, its just finding them and doing the research :lol:

Loved the luxury side of Ibiza though :D lush

Exactly what I said :lol:

Kind of annoying that they advertise it as doing it on the cheap but it was going in October! Did look nice and warm though just not quite a summer break as such is it.

Loved the suite Phil stayed in though, god I could stay there forever!
 
To be fair, if it was going to be truly on a budget it would have been a programme full of **** hostels in San Antonio.

I really enjoyed it, if only to see for Phil's obvious love for the island written all over his face.

You could tell that Ibiza was the Ying to his pinstripe-suited London Yang.

But I wish he could have put Kirsty in her place a little better when she tried to rubbish Ibiza.

She just didn't get it. At all.
 
I did actually like Kirsty before this programme, but now i just think shes....well a knob quite frankly.

I dont even think, from the off she was open to considering Ibiza in another light other than the 'clubbing capital' ...just made her look narrow minded :rolleyes:

As for Phil, what a legend 8) his sex appeal just massively increased for me, seeing he is a blatent Ibiza raver ;):lol:

Cheap deals in October (and May) are a plenty. I think they must have got a few nice days weather speaking.
