Sun sea and sand. Review on Ibiza

I have just recently been on holiday for 2 weeks to Ibiza with my husband. Ibiza is an island in the Balearic Islands. It took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to get there and we flew with Britannia airline. We was not delayed at all going there but was delayed 2 hours on the way back.

We stayed in San Antonio Bay in a hotel. We was only a few minutes away from the beach as we just had to cross a road and we was there.

The beaches are all small in Ibiza but there are quite a few there. They are all kept really nice and clean too.

San Antonio Bay is lively but not as lively as San Antonio. People of all ages holiday here including families, couples and big groups of people. There is something to do for everyone.

San Antonio is not too far away from the bay either. It is in walking distance, or you can get a boat, taxi or a bus there. All these are reasonable prices. If you walk there like we did, it takes about half an hour to get there, which is not too long.

In the bay there are many shops, restaurants and bars to choose from. There are many different types of foods to choose from including pasta dishes, pizza's, english food, chinese, Indian and also there are take aways like chinese, KFC and Burger King. There are many shops too including groceries, Off Licence and souvenier shops. Most of the vars are open until at least 2am, but after 12am music is not allowed to be played outside, so they have to shut there doors, so you can only hear the music if you are inside the bars. Some of the bars had a rodeo which you could ride and those trampoline things where you are attached to rope and you bounce up and down on the trampoline.

There are many boat trips that go to different parts of the Island. The one's that went the most were to Calla Bassa and Calla Conta, which went every hour. These are both small places which is mainly a beach, apartments and hotels and a few shops. The trips did not take long to get there either, just took about 10 minutes.

There was a cruise which was for 3 hours on a Catamaran. Here you went to quite a few different places around the Island. Then you got to go to the bottom of the boat to see all the fish. After that they stopped for about 25 minutes so that you could go for a swim. Also whilst swimming, they threw bottles of champagne in which you could keep if you found one. Then just before the 3 hours was up, we all got free champagne. They played music on the boat which was all in English. They also told you about the different parts you was visiting on the Catamaran, and they told you in Spanish and English.

This boat went everyday from 3pm until 6pm. There was another glass bottomed boat which went hourly, but that only went around for the Island for an hour.

When we was on the Catamaran we went to a place called Calla Conta. This is a naked beach and on the rocks we all saw this man stood there naked, and everyone just looked at him as there was not anybody else naked there.

For people who likes watersports, you can go Jet Skiing, Windsurfing, Scuba diving and on a banana boat. These were quite popular with a lot of people.

We also visited Ibiza Town, which is not in walking distance. We got a taxi to here and it took us about 25 minutes to get there. There is also a bus to here too which was less than £1. Here you will find restaurants, bars, shops and hotels and apartments. There are quite a few clothes shops here too. There is a port where there are quite a few nice, big boats. The streets are really narrow and cobbled.

Most people in Ibiza were friendly, especially rhe people in the hotel where we was staying. We got friendly with the 2 blokes behind the bar there and got free drinks and shots most nights.

Ibiza is well known for it's clubs, which are expensive to go in. Though you can get in cheaper if you buy tickets through your reps. The main clubs here include Privilege, Space, Es Paradis, Amnesia and Eden. The night clubs always have top DJ's playing like Judge Jules and Dave Pearce. Most of the clubs shut at about 8am.

The annoying thing about Ibiza is you always get bugged by these men trying to sell you sunglasses and jewellery. No one ever buys anything from them and they just walk around all day and ask you about 50 times in just one day.

There is a scenic tour train which takes you around the Island for 2 hours. This is nice for the whole family. This picks you up and drops you off in San Antonio.

You can hire out a car whilst you are on holiday here. There are plenty of car hire places around. This is useful if you want to go to different parts of the Island. You can also hire out scooters, buggy's and mountain bikes.

The weather was really hot for the 2 weeks that we was there. The day we was due to come home though it did rain but it soon cleared up again though. It was between 90f and 100f most days and we both got a good tan.

Ibiza's currency is Euro's which is like most European countries now. We found it quite expensive here as we had to get more money out whilst we was there. Alcoholic drinks were expensive compared to over here.

There was crazy golf for those people that like to play golf. Also there are arcades here too in San Antonio Bay.

I would recommend Ibiza to anyone of any age as there is something for everyone.
