I do miss Ibiza, but last year was worse for some reason... I really really did not want to come home. I was depressed and missing the island for several weeks.

It�s an awesome place. The island; beaches, parties, people, diversity... I love how people there are very welcoming to meeting others. We met TONS of people during our 16 days out there. Here in America, if you approach someone on the street just to chat, well, they will think you are weird or creepy. It�s the exact opposite in Ibiza. You never know what to expect each day. After the past two summers in Ibiza, I feel that it�s nearly impossible to have an agenda or schedule. I always end up meeting other travelers and going where the wind takes me.


I feeeeeeel ya... really depressed... maybe the drugs

but i really missed the place. i wish i could have seen a little bit more of the island myself... but after rockstarring it for the little time i spent there, play den Bossa was good enough for me!!!

plus... i got to see boobies all day!

didn't try either of those. as far as food went, if we were looking for something other than free hotel food, which wasn't bad, we opted for doner kebabs or david's pizza, which were the best spots to eat at in all of san antonio. the menu at savannah was overpriced for a real meal. i think the only thing we ordered there other than an english breakfast was nachos. i think the white sangria was more money, which is why we didn't bother with it. the $25 jugs at mambo were a bit high compared to the $12 jugs we found elsewhere. they were bomb though...

You missed out

As far as club nights go is there any compairison to SF/LA or does Ibiza win hands down???from the looks of it, it looks like packed clubs with wall to wall with hands in the air 24/7..are the clubs there that nuts or is that just during the peak hours of the night


Posted by tranceaholic on Sep-22-2007 07:53:

hey there,
i was in ibiza for a week in august and i am to go again in 08, you just cant go once to ibiza..So lex put me down for the villa in 08 plus 2 or 3 maybe..EVERYONE IBIZA is clubbers heaven. I am so DOOOOWN for 08


Posted by R!CH on Sep-22-2007 11:03:

since people have been msging me about it, a few more things...

cab rides from ibizatown to the far end of san antonio are about 20 euro each way, which is the cost of our rental car for a day. we had to take on this expense once when our car was towed in ibizatown. a tow will run you $165 euro iirc.

speeding is a casual thing on the freeways, here's our cabbie tripling the speed limit for no reason. the tunnel speed limit is 60, he's doing 180...



petrol was 1.09/li which is around $4/gal, however with our econobucket, i don't think we put in more $20 the whole trip, and that's driving all over the island almost every day. there are also party buses that shuttle people from san antonio to amnesia, all you have to do is spend money at the bar who hosts it. at kanya, that meant buying a 3 euro bottle of water. the bus ride back to san an was via public transit and costs 2 euro each way.

club tickets vary, full price ranging from 20-60 euro depending on the party. most tickets can be bought at discount or like 15 euro off at the door with a flyer and most over 40 euro come with a free drink (15 euro value). some parties are completely free with a free drink upon entry if you run into one of the prs handing out wristbands during the day. we got meganite/mauro picotto wristbands for free at bora bora.

alky at the club is 10-15 euro, water is 10 euro, you cannot drink the island tap, it's slightly salty and will make you sick. water at the minimarts is 80 cents a liter. alky at the minimarts is cheap as dirt... 1.35 euro for a 40oz, 12.50 euro for a liter of vodka with 8 redbulls.

Rich, the pic of the vodka-red bull party packs almost made me die laughing. Great pics overall, and some great tips. I'mingthis thread to my facebook. I was going to say, with the weak dollar, you must have spent a ton, but seems like it wasn't so bad.

I'm there for my 3rd visit in 2008, 100% confirmed!
I was thinking 5 days, but now I want to go more!!!

thanks for the compliments guys. for all the tas going next year, you should wait until next spring or so to book at the same time for roughly the same dates. we can invade the airplane together and represent the real america on the island... you'd be surprised to learned just how distorted our perception is over there, partly because 99.99% of americans have never heard of ibiza and 99.9999% of ibiza is non-americans

we met a group of scots one night on the westend who were like "america... " and by the next night they were singing "america! america! "

all we had to do was tell them our thoughts on bush...

hah, what's funny about ibiza is all the city/town names that mirror cali's... san jose, san rafael, san mateo, san lorenzo, san miguel, la jolla, even a san francisco on her sister island of formentera


Posted by JohnBeaver on Sep-23-2007 03:31:

WOW I just found this tread!!! Great great post-honestly it almost made me cry to see that there is still such passion and drive for dance music out there!! Being in the USA I tend to forget about all the dedicated and friendly people out there just plain LOVING and SUPPORTING our scene!

THANK YOU for sharing such good info and pics-I def will try to join ya next year!!!!


Posted by rechjm on Sep-24-2007 10:16:

Some seriously great photos there!! Good to see you got some of the beautiful beaches in there as well. What a great island!!!


Posted by R!CH on Sep-24-2007 19:51:

thanks guys, save your pennies for '08


Posted by mdub on Sep-24-2007 20:24:

Sweeeeetttt Pics Rich and thanks also for the tips too. I gotta save this thread just in case I ever get a chance to go out there.

It looks like a bomb ass trip. I have a couple more bachelor parties in the next year. Maybe I should suggest Ibiza. We were thinking Amsterdam too. Hmmmmm....

Amsterdam vs. Ibiza.....

Decisions, Decisions.... LOL...


Posted by R!CH on Sep-26-2007 01:24:

How about both?!

Ibiza is more party party... every minute of the day is a CRACKIN party. Amsterdam is kinda geared more toward relaxing... like ride a bike and 'chill' at a cafe. I really really want to return for a few days next summer though, I love that city.


Posted by Cool1g on Sep-26-2007 18:03:

hey Lex - how much to sell one of those copies of Pacha magazine???

i only saw 1 or 2 with Shakira on the cover (that's the Oct issue, right?) and didn't pick one up - missed out on that...i did get the Sept. issue...

Oh Yeah! Both one day but I guess which one FIRST... LOL....

But the Party & Party vs. Relax & Party does help me with my decision. I think it depends on who ends up going on the trip. Some of my friends are PARTY ANIMALS and some like to Party and also do a little relaxing too.

Thanks Guys!

Oh believe me, Ibiza is relaxing too. The beaches are amazing in Ibiza, perfect for kicking back. Caf� del Mar at sunset is A+ too. I just don�t think Amsterdam could contend with Ibiza on the party side. If you had to choose one, do Ibiza!!

Yeah, to me that sounds better too. I think the only thing Amsterdam has on Ibiza might be that it has more of a "city" culture then Ibiza. At least that is my thinking...
