Timeshares as Alternative Accommodations
If you're a frequent traveler and are looking for the best accommodations, maybe it's time to buy timeshare for yourself. Unlike days past, today's timeshares are flexible and exchangeable so that you can look forward to welcoming accommodations nearly everywhere you'd like to travel. For the habitual traveler, they're a good way to get great accommodations every time.
Ibiza is known as the best party island in the Mediterreanean sea, but you do not need to be a clubber in a latex outfit to enjoy a vacation on the Balearic island. After living on Ibiza for several months and writing a travel guide about the island I have acquired a lot of knowledge. Here s a list of little known facts about the sunny island:
1. Cheap
If you look past the extreme prices of drinks in the hottest clubs, Ibiza is actually fairly inexpensive. The resorts are struggling to keep up with Mallorcas new built vacation spots and the 80s and 90s styled hotels are decreasing their prices to get people to buy vacations at their hotels. Low accommodation prices are expected also for 2010.
2. Brits dominate
If you head for the resort of San Antonio and visit the resort s West End district you will not feel like you are in Spain at all! There are so many kebab joints, Chinese restaurants, Fish & Chips places, strip joints, nightclubs and party pubs that it resembles any English mid sized town on a Saturday night.
3. Ibiza s gay town
Ibiza Town is home to a big gay community in the summer months. Visit the town s Sa Penya area along the harbour to experience the gay side of Ibiza. Expect narrow streets filled with bars, clubs and a few restaurants.
4. Very quiet outside peak season
The peak season in Ibiza is in June, July, August and September. The rest of the year the island is pretty quiet and you get to have all the beaches and restaurants to yourself. A visit to Ibiza in May, June or October guarantees pretty weather and nice sunny days without the crowd.
5. Watch the sunset at Cafe del Mar, or somewhere else
It is hardly a secret, but a visit to Ibiza is not complete without enjoying the view of the sunset with a cocktail in your hand. The most popular place to watch the sunset is at the world famous Cafe del Mar in San Antonio. But there are several other beach side cafes where you can get the same view, pay less for drinks, and have less people around you.
6. Use your beach towel
Is your budget tight? In these times it may be worth your while to stretch your euros a little bit further. My top money saving tip is in the sunbed area: Do not hire sunbeds at the beach every day, €5 a day for sunbeds accumulate to €70 for 14 day stay. Use your beach towel or enjoy life at the hotel pool.
7. Great gourmet food at the supermarket
If you go to the beach you can pick up some nice serrano ham, cheese, baguettes and a few beers at one of the many supermarkets. Eat them at the beach instead of paying for lunch or dinner at fancy restaurants.
That s a few Ibiza secrets revealed for you. Ibiza is a great destination between April and October. Personally I prefer to visit in May or early June. The prices are low and the weather is great.
