Happy Days!

A return to the White Isle after a years absence proved to be another stormer, but for a different reason to past years with us having a nice relaxing time in glorious sunshine, beautiful surroundings and quality food, and not getting out of my tree once.

Things didn’t get off to the best of start with ETA putting a bomb in Ibiza airport just after we arrived, so on the first night we got moved to a different hotel as the people in our room were delayed leaving. But Hotel Osiris made up for it by giving us massive family rooms and a 60 euro bar tab as a sorry – top marks to the management!

The hotel was at the start of San Antonio Bay on the shores of Es Puet beach, the scene of many previous holidays and many infamous incidents – eh Snoop?! With a good mix of families, youngsters and our “in between” age there was a good chilled out atmosphere.

As usual the weather was stonking and made all the more special considering the non-existent summer we’ve had.

Highlight of the holiday was probably a trip to Pacha for Eric Morillio’s Subliminal Sessions – I was a little apprehensive about going as I thought it would just be instantly forgettable US house but was pleasantly surprised to hear more edgy techie choons. Hed Kandi at El Divino was fun but I think the club's a bit overrated.

Predictably the holiday soundtrack included Hed Kandi’s lastest Beach House offering but other jems that peppered the week were surprisingly rocky in the form of The Gossip, Charlotte Hatherley and CSS.

I really look forward to returning again some day.
