  Source of ire in comments mystifying.

  The good news perhaps that complaints about a German with a sense of humour help bury the stereotype.

    Haha love it 🙂

    I though Anika’s points were entirely sensible – Davis added useful info too, just a shame it was with a lot of attitude thrown in too (I’m not entirely sure why!)

  Perhaps Davis would like to write the review,as he has such a lot to say. Surprised he didn’t jump on the chance to do this when Rob was looking for folk to write lounge reviews.
  Granted there may be aspects missing,but usually the helpful and obliging commentators on HFP will add them in graciously. My interpretation of your tone, Davis, was majorly critical and I didn’t like it.

    At least he cares! I doubt I could get that passionate if someone dissed my favourite lounge

    You need to remember that as most HFP readers will have to pay to enter this lounge (no BA status cards, no Priority Pass) the question is whether it is worth €28. Looking at the food and drink selection in those photos I can imagine better ways to spend close to £100 for a family of four.

      rather better value once your kids are old enough to dump outside with a Burger King & can of Coke

        If that’s how you feel about your kids’ enjoyment of the last day of their family holiday, why not leave them at home and save even more?!

          you got that in the wrong order! I dump them outside @ LHR on the way there, I’m not driving at destination as we get picked up – so I can get my money’s worth/ value from the lounge pass – I do normally bring one of my sons in for safe-keeping but the other 2 get to slum it haha!

          On the way back it’s a truly excellent terminal IMV, clean, comfortable & spacious – so I just get us BK or KFC etc and we all stick together outside, not much point in using a lounge there anyway as mentioned above, we’re only 45 mins from the airport so can time it nicely not to be there too long

          You’ll soon be able to get chauffeur-driven by the oldest one and enjoy the lounges even more 😀

          I thought it would be some pan rustico and quesos from the local shop? 🙂

          @Alan – good thought – the second eldest in our case as the first son won’t ever make it driving, good happy lad that he is, though – so that’ll be in 2020, I think I will expedite his driving lessons/ pay through the nose in time for Easter hols 🙂

          Excellent, you can enjoy the payback after being his chauffeur for many years! Even more value out of all your lounge pass skills 😀

          I might even get him into the lounge on the way out on the strength of it!

          My daughter, otoh… 🙂

          Horrible early teens lol rather rude – I guess we all went through it/ anticipate it with horror (and you’re right about the horror)

  As a frequent traveller to Ibiza out of season I thought this post was useful. However it’s the comments that have amused me the most and I feel compelled to add my two cents….

  – firstly, I wouldn’t usually qualify for comp access to the lounge there unless travelling last minute and club tickets are cheaper than economy, which sometimes happens, so it’s well worth knowing it’s not worth the cover price. It also seems that it’s not even worth turning up a little early to enjoy a free glass of wine even if I did qualify, as I’m a red drinker and therefore wouldn’t be catered for 🙂
  – Although not a fluent Spanish speaker and am not from Spanish decent I’ve spent enough time trying to get things done in Spain to know that Anika’s experience is indeed typical of the rigmarole one often encounters in Spain. In fact, that part of the review made me chuckle.
  – Although entertaining, David’s response seems a little fishy to me. Why on earth would someone be compelled to defend a faceless corporation so aggressively. I mean if you really want to right the wrongs of inaccurate journalism just take your pick of the national press in any country- and scarily those titles have real influence. And don’t get me started on social media…..

  Finally, Ibiza is increasingly a year round destination and does not solely attract holiday makers. The Island can be at it’s most beautiful at this time of year with tons of diverse culture happening! So the report is appropriate to an audience who are a little more savvy, which I assume anyone following head for points would consider themselves to be?

  For full the pedants among you, and there seem to be a few, I have a property on the island so perhaps my out of season comments are biased, but in fact it’s very easy to verify for yourself by looking at the press or even better raw evidence such as airlines increasing their year round services from multiple countries.

  The airport is so small and turnaround times are so quick out of season that I probably wouldn’t bother with the lounge even if I qualified.

  Finally, I had also thought the F**** Me I’m Famous Lounge was still there and as I mentioned I;m a frequent traveller to the island! But as I also mentioned there’s no need at all to hang around in this airport to consider the banal nuances of who has secured the lease to which spaces because it’s very small and very quick to manoeuvre through, even in August!

  Peace & Love.
