The 'RASPUTÍN CLUB' SCANDAL:  ARE YOU A SCUBA DIVER (or would like to be)? Check out our new section on DIVING IBIZA IBIZA-HOTELS introduces a NEW FEATURE: The Ruta del Arte  This feature is a catalogue of more than 60 Ibiza artists who have opened thier studios to the public....AT NO CHARGE. All you have to do is browse the ARTISTS MENU ...and when you find one you would like to meet.... just give them a call for a visit...and follow the instructions on their maps on how to get there.  AMNESIA NEWS This year Cream have put together some of the biggest line ups ever for their weekly Thursday night residency at Amnesia, including Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk as exclusive residents plus 3 exclusive performances from former Cream resident Paul Oakenfold, and this is only in the Main Room. Terrace highlights include Seb Fontaine, Jon Carter, MYNC Project, Audio Bullys and Shapeshifters. And lets not forget Saturday August 7th when they join forces with Radio 1 to host the legendary Essential Mix Party.
The HOTEL PALMYRA**** Has spent a lot of time and effort upgrading from a 3-Star to a 4-Star hotel.......but nobody knows about it...and OFFERS SPECIAL DISCOUNTS to celebrate including a FREE bottle of chilled Cava in your room...this makes the PALMYRA one of the best offers on the net for luxury accomodation. SPECIAL OFFER DISCOUNTS If you can arrange your arrival for a SUNDAY, you can take advantage of some BIG DISCOUNTS that are being offered by the FOUR STAR HOTELS......(ONLY at ibiza-hotels.com): GOLETA**** EL CORSO**** The reason is that these (and other hotels) have tremendous holes in their availability for SUNDAY ARRIVALS. As well as the fact that the programming of these discounts is so difficult that other hotel portals have not been able to do it. |
'STUPID WHITE MEN' AWARD NOMINATIONS: Mr. Carlos Aría The now ex-Presidente of the Balearic Government Tourist Promotion Agency (IBATUR), resigned yesterday amid what promises to be one of the biggest political scandals of the Balearic Islands. It appears that Mr. Aría, who manages a huge budget for tourist promotion througout the Balearic Islands, together with 7 other MALLORCAN politicians of the Balearic Islands, decided it would be a good idea to go to MOSCOW (coinciding with the footbal game to be played there between Palma Mallorca and Moscow...and at the expense of the IBATUR budget)......"..to promote Russian tourism to the Balearic Islands..." Turns out that Mr.Aría (and 7 unnamed companions), decided to go to a local Moscow cathouse called the 'Club Rasputín". (Undoubtedly for the purposes of promoting the Balearic Islands amongst the girls there as well!). <----(see foto left from the 'Rasputín Club' website) This possibly explains why they charged their entrance tickets and drinks to the expense account of the public agency IBATUR....in other words, to the Spanish taxpayers. The scandal may also help to explain why IBATUR has refused to share their bloated budget with the islands of Ibiza and Formentera.....which have continually (an unsuccessfully), requested funds from this budget for their own separate tourist promotions. The "...Ibicenans ONLY" Museum: The COUNCILMAN for the HERITAGE and CULTURE of Ibiza and Formentera, Juan Marí Tur Announced last Tuesday, the creation of an art gallery exclusively for artistic painters " ...born on Ibiza". The organ of local goverment which he heads, announced the purchase of paintings exlusively from 6 or 7 painters "..born on Ibiza". The STUPIDITY of this discriminatory scheme exposes the comlete ignorance on the part of Mr. Marí Tur's department regarding the identity of the 'real' artists of Ibiza , and their tremendous contribution to the culture and worldwide fame as an artists refuge. Many artists of international renown live(d) much of their lives on Ibiza. (Barry Flanagan, Antonio Villanueva, Juliian Adrían, Bill Fulljames, James Taylor)....just to name a few). .MOST of them were not born here.....but have lived here many yeears, raised their children here, and many have died here. and they have paid the same taxes as those born here...taxpayer money with which Mr. Mar´i Tur plans to open his xenophobic museum. |
Did you know?...
Ibiza-hotels is the ONLY IBIZA ACCOMODATIOS PORTAL on the WWW THAT does not use THIRD PARTY RESERVATION ENGINE SOFTWARE.
"We wrote our own program, because we didn´t think it is right to share a clients PERSONAL INFORMATION with ANYBODY...except the HOTEL where
the reservation is being made."......explained Bob, "....because there is absolutely no guarantee that this information will not be abused, for example by....selling the e-mail addresses to spammers, or because of security leaks in the thrid party systems...and the more servers this information passes through or gets stored on, the more possibility for abuse."
The other advantage for our users is that it converts our site into the only Hotel Portal on the WWW where clients can reserve months in advance,
with only a small deposit, and not pay the balance until they arrive at their hotel.
