Avoid this club, as it is dangerous. It's tempting, they book some A-list acts, but the good stuff ends there. I'll explain:
This club is horribly managed and takes advantage of the low return-rate of its patrons.
First, the sound. Oh god the sound. It could be great - they have an a-rate system in there, but a damn a complete amateur runs the system. As such, it is operated at least 10 db past what would be considered a "club-level" system. It is far too loud to the point of distortion in the bass and the highs will cause DEFINITE hearing damage if you are not wearing earplugs. I repeat, if you spend 2-3 hours on either dance floor, you WILL experience permanent hearing damage at this club. If you must go, BRING EARPLUGS.
The bass sounds like utter crap, again because it is being run far to loud for the speaker and room configuration and is driven into distortion. So, every bass note sounds like THBBTBTBBTBBTBTTBT, no matter what note it is.
The lighting in the club, again impressive by fixtures and quantity., was the worse I saw in Ibiza. Maybe we were on a bad night, but the light guy working that night was an obvious amateur, running the very intense strobes for minutes at a time. He also frequently left the board during the show, just leaving one pattern up for minutes at a time. It was so distracting that it took away from the main act.
The organizers of the club also oversell the crap out of their shows, way past the safe fire capacity of the building. So, be prepared for constant shoving and being pressed against people in all areas of the club, not just the dance floor. Also, if there was an incident at this club, you would NOT make it out alive.
The club has inadequate air conditioning and is unbearably hot,. So, be prepared to be brushing up against shirtless sweaty bros constantly. They do not enforce a men shirts-on policy like Pacha does, and now I see why Pacha does it. At first it's annoying, and it gets pretty maddening toward the end of the night. I am not a clean freak, but even I was disgusted by how much other sweaty dudes were brushing up against me.
If you would like to avoid heat stroke like a normal human, be prepared to shell out 8 Euro for an 10oz bottle of water.
So, the only way you will have fun at this club is if you're REALLY loaded up on drugs, have 80 Euro extra to spend on water, have industrial hearing protection, and don't mind being sweated on by 2000 other people. Needless to say we left early.
I will not be returning until the management at this club changes. These problems are all fixable. I really hope the fire marshall (Does Ibiza even have one?) checks in on these guys.
EDIT: This club booked Paris Frickin Hilton as a resident act in 2013. For those not in the know, if you have ever hit play on a Sony Discman, you have more DJ experience than she does. This should you tell you everything you need to know about forking over your hard-bailed-out Euros here.
