Nereida Apartments, 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... Read review

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

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...

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... Read review
