Me and my friends went to the Riviera Hotel in San Antonio Bay in Ibiza in July 2009 and had the best week of our lives. Holidays in Ibiza are to be in the party capital of the world and we partied all day and night. Right outside the hotel was one of the biggest pre bars in the resort and with us not being in the centre, drinks were a lot cheaper. You also have a selection of Spanish supermarkets and traditional restaurants at Spanish prices. A pack of 12 San Miguel lagers been 9 Euros and in San Antonio centre they were 4 Euro per bottle. The beach is a 5 minute walk away and taxi’s stop right on the doorstep. They all run on the meter so prices are cheap and always the same.
The view of the bay
Ibiza holidays are so lively but the bay is a much more relaxed place to stay and wind down from a heavy night but is still within easy reach of the strip and all the clubs. If you’re after a great meal, the Cat and Parrott on the strip do home cooked meals at good prices. I would recommend the Bay for people who want good access to the centre without the hassle in the day. It is also good for the cheaper prices as I spent half as much this year in the Bay than the previous year when I stayed on the strip. The bay is in a better position for first time visitors to Ibiza but also a great location for veteran clubbers looking to go on a budget.
