first thing is, you need to settle down. and like i said before, you definitely missed a lot of what ibiza had to offer.
1> i never said that ibiza was THEE most beautiful place. all i said that it was beautiful (and yes, i have traveled a lot in my life too.)
2> you had some bad experiences there and i'm sorry to hear but it really sounds like it's skewing your opinion, which is understandable. for one, i've had amazing food in several different cities and small towns there (my mom is from italy, so i know what good food is, she cooks night and day). locals were really friendly to us, (the brits were the nasty ones there.) the key is renting a car and actually exploring other places than san antonio and ibiza town.
3> san antonio is basically completely trashed, ibiza town and lots of other cities in ibiza are beautiful.
4> ibiza has a load of history, dating back literally thousands of years ago.. similar to sicily, it was invaded by a lot of different tribes and was even involved in the crusades.. just as a short example of things you can find out (but hey, i'm a geek for that stuff so obviously if you're not into it, you wouldn't dig that aspect of it.) you can even see places that were invaded, escape routes, where battles took place, etc. the fact that it's like sicily is why it's also appealing to me, i feel like i'm home when i'm driving around the countryside there or lying on huge boulder on a beach with no one but my boyfriend and me as far as the eye can see.
5> santa eulalia, porto lineaux, san josep are full of families-- i was on the plane with two 80 yr old italians and their little poodle on the way there 2 years ago. i think it's safe to say that you wouldn't see then in dc10 on monday afternoon. ibiza is more than just clubbing; however, unfortunately, that's all people know it for. |
hmm so is it hard renting a car there? just wondering. def sounds like something i would love to do if/when i ever get to go :D Driving thru the countryside/cliffside to get a feel for the island is *DEFINITELY* something id be into :D i totally did that during my vacation in the Hawaiian Islands last September. |

| It's super easy to rent a car. You can do it online, or just hire one while you're there. |

I have a chant for ibiza, O-VER-RA-TED!!! |
I have never been, but I never understood what all the hype is about. I mean, yeah some of the pics I have seen are absolutely beautiful but it hasn't gotten me to want to spend that kind of money to go yet.
I would say out of all the places I still want to travel to, Ibiza is lower down on that list. |

with the amount of money i spent i could have easily done it 4-5 stars on maui for a week. And for anyone who's never been, hawaii blows ibiza out of the water, it's not even a close call. |
+1 i cant compare Ibiza since ive never been but yes the Hawaiian Islands are amazing. can't even begin to tell you which one was my favorite. lolz 4-5 stars would be nice but whats even more intriguing was staying at a cabin for 4-5 days at a remote campground within Haleakala (sp) National Park (Maui) on higher elevation (a small mountain i think?) with its very own public coconut palm and guava trees, black sand beach and deep aqua water, extensive rocky coves, and hiking trails galore, holy crap. it was freaking GORGEOUS and def back to nature. Drove to Hana then we drove the entire OTHER way all around on the cliffs/coastside, the most amazing experience and views ever. |

yeah, hawaii is simply amazing. the mountains on the coast of BC along the sea to sky and north of whistler are maybe more spectacular! Also, the coastal ranges in Alaska are something to see. |

When I was in Ibiza last summer, with my fiance, everyone we met was super cool to us. It was all "you guys are americans, cool we don't see alot of americans over here." |
Americans don't really travel outside of the US and the caribbean |
