Apartment smelled of drains

Advantages: Nice pool, pleasanr helpful staff, appartment very clean
Disadvantages: Bathroom stunk of drains, kitchen antiquated, no kettle, toaster or hairdryer

...not pack my hairdryer, travel iron, or travel kettle and now wish I had.) OFF WE GO, FINGERS CROSSED: We booked with easy jet from east midlands to Faro. Absolutely no complaints here; A discount airline but plenty of legroom, a pleasant flight generally was the experience we had on the way to Faro. Faro airport again was efficient and the car hire worked fine and we found our little Sear Ibiza with no problem. We set up our Satnav for our destination and set off. About 35minutes later we arrived at Jardim 1 in Albufiera and I went to see if they were ready for our arrival bearing in mind it was only 11am and check in was not until 4pm normally. They were expecting us but our room would not be ready for another hour. They offered me the option of leaving our luggage in a luggage storage room but we had the car so we chose to leave the case...

Ibiza Hippie by Escada perfume!

Advantages: beautiful light smell!
Disadvantages: Hard to find, and a little expensive!

...Escada Ibiza Hippie I got this perfume in a Collector?s Edition pack of 5 Escada Perfumes; Island kiss, Rockin? Rio, Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat and Ibiza Hippie. I first heard of Escada when I bought Pacific Paradise on the Ferry on the way to Italy, from then on the smell always reminded me of that holiday, and became one of my favourite perfumes. So when I saw this pack for £12.50 for 5 small bottles (4ml each), I just had to buy them to try them all, so I could choose my favourite one! And I must say they were all delicious! With such strong fruity smells which stuck around all day, my only problem was there wasn?t enough of it in the bottles, and I tended to use half a bottle each time I used it! But it gave me a great experience of using them all so I could choose which ones I wanted in larger bottles rather than...

Great holiday in Hotel Miami, Ibiza

Advantages: Gorgeous beaches, fantastic nightlife, amazing weather, kids clubs are excellent, great weather
Disadvantages: (you don't want to leave!!), food at hotel is not so good.

...I stayed in the Hotel Miami, Ibiza last year with two friends and I enjoyed my experience so much I'm going again next year. Ibiza is the ultimate young people's holiday destination - but this hotel is family friendly aswell - kids clubs are excellent! If you're looking to go abroad this year whatever your age and interests I sincerely recommend Ibiza. The beaches are clean and gorgeous, the sun is warm on your back, the sand is hot on your feet - I LOVE IBIZA!! The nightlife - well, thats just too exciting to put into words! We tried a different club every night and I didn't want to leave any one of them. Some of the drinks were quite expensive in some of them, but the atmospheres in all of them was just immense. You can hear the music pounding around the club and it just brings you completely to life. Honestly, Hotel Miami in...

  SUN, SEA, SANGRIA "SAN ANTONIO BAY IBIZA"

Advantages: A beautiful,clean, friendly, warm and relaxing holiday
Disadvantages: Have to come home afterwards

...) and Son then (18) were going and asked if my youngest Daughter, then (18) and myself would like to go as they were renting a 6-8 berth apartment, all we had to do was pay our fare, put in towards food and find some spending money, which we did. Now although I was excited, I was rather apprehensive as I had heard so much about Ibiza and especially San Antonio, the travel agent assured us that it was beautiful where we were to be staying, (in the bay) and not at all noisy like the town, but still plenty to see and do, and close enough to all the night life for the three younger ones in our party. ~~~~~~~~THE JOURNEY~~~~~~ We decided to give it a go, we flew from London Gatwick (south terminal) to Ibiza?s only Airport, on September 19th 1997 for 10 days we booked through Thompson, and flew with Britannia airlines, which was a very...

Estella Hotel and Apartments Did NOT Disappoint!

Advantages: Excellent location, superb customer service levels and lovely rooms
Disadvantages: No real facilities for the disabled

...Estella Hotel Apartments is based in Limassol in Southern Cyprus where I stayed for 6 nights in late April/early May of 2009 with my cousin. The booking was made via Expedia.co.uk and worked out at approximately £200 for 2 of us sharing a twin apartment (just £100 each basically). Before I confirmed the booking through Expedia I went off and did a bit of research on the hotel to make sure I wasn?t getting something that was cockroach infested. The hotel?s website, although fairly basic in appearance, made the hotel look pleasant enough and I sent an email to the hotel asking what amenities were included in the rooms/apartments. I received a reply in very clear English very promptly and then started a chain of emails between myself and the very helpful contact at Estella, a lovely lady called Helen (who was away in Australia during...

Review of Estella Hotel Apartments, Limassol

Education, Ibiza style.

Advantages: It's an Education
Disadvantages: I still dont live there

...Back in the day, when I only had 6 (Yes I counted them, I bet you did/will too) grey hairs and before I made the now obligatory grunt as I clamber out of bed/ a chair/ the car, I was a Rep in Ibiza. There is a popular misconception that "Holiday Rep" is short for "Holiday Reprobate" and in some cases, from my own experiences, this is very true. However, I feel I have earned the right as someone who has "been there, done that" as well as seen every "Essex Boyz On Tour" 'Comedy T-shirt' to shine the torch of explanation into the murky darkness of wonderment. I can honestly say that before I started life as a holiday representative, I thought I knew what hard work was. Silly me. Let me furnish your good selves with an example. On Friday at 9am, I would start work, and on Sunday at 8pm I would finish. Now obviously I didn't work every...

Review of Ibiza Town

Ibiza Rediscovered .... Puerto San Miguel

Advantages: Relaxed, quiet, beautiful surroudings.
Disadvantages: Captive market in local shops and bars meant high prices - you need a car.

...eyes even back then, and without boring you with the details of my mis-spent youth, I didn?t relish the thought of returning to Ibiza as a middle-aged mother, with husband and, at the time 14-year-old, daughter in tow! ?Middle age is when a broad mind and a narrow waste exchange places? ;o) Before we departed from Manchester, excited but apprehensive, I asked resort staff if we could be placed as far away as possible from San Antonio or Ibiza town centre, and that they most certainly obliged. We duly arrived at the Balanzat Apartments, Puerto de San Miguel at 11pm on a Friday evening in September, loud booming music ? none, people throwing up all over ? none, sex, drugs and wild parties on the beach ? none ? you should have seen the long faces on the young couple who travelled on the same coach from the airport! The porter wanted to...

Ibiza Uncovered

Advantages: Best clubs in the world and great weather in lovely surroundings
Disadvantages: Littering and drunken Brits

...Most people in Britain will have heard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is part of the Balearics and is situated in the Mediterranean, around 2 1/2 hours flight from Britain. As soon as Ibiza is mentioned it conjures up images of drunken British yobs, drugged up clubbers and constant partying, and although all of these things do exist on this beautiful island I would say that it is not as full on as TV programmes such as 'Ibiza Uncovered' make it out to be. Much of the island plays host to many a family holiday, and in some of the remote areas you can observe traditional Spanish life that has remained unchanged for decades. But anyway that's enough about that, here I've tried to give you a broad guide to the white isle, I've not put everything in, but I'm sure you'll agree that if I went on any longer then you may well never read any...

Ibiza Uncovered.

Advantages: sun, sea, sand, relax or be lively. Reasonably priced holidays.
Disadvantages: none

...After going to majorca a few times we wanted to try somewhere different. My sister sugested Ibiza so we thought we would try it. After trawling through brochures for which part to try we chose Es Cana. Ibiza is famous as a clubber's paradise but there are other islands for those who want a quieter holiday. You can find the hustle and bustle if you want to, and you don't have to look far. It could be just a 10 min walk away. You may choose the quiet life just sitting on your balcony watching the days go by. I have 2 children aged 9 + 13 and I have gone to Ibiza for my last 2 holidays. We all think it is fantastic. It is very picturesque with fantastic clear seas and lovely sandy beaches. When I asked if we would try somewhere different this year everyone said no lets go back to Es Cana. The weather has been great on both occassions...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

Cafe Del Ibiza

Advantages: Clubs, Clubs and more Clubs, breathtaking scenery
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Well I was going to leave this for a while, but as the summer season is now upon us, I thought I would share this with you Clubbers (and non-clubbers) out there! Myself and Paul went to Ibiza in the summer of 2001 so any prices listed below have probably changed since the introduction of the Euro. We paid around 189.00 pounds each for a week?s self-catering in San Antonio in early September. You can still find holidays for around this price in many of your local travel agents. There are plenty of hotels and self-catering apartments scattered around the island, ranging from the very grotty to 5 star luxury. INTRODUCTION Ibiza truly is the party capital of the world! Not that I have visited everywhere in the world, but for such a small island there is an immense number of clubs. On driving between San Antonio and Ibiza...
