That was my first visit to the club to see Martinez Brothers party so this review is purely based on that experience. When I found out that Hi Ibiza was voted the best club in the World my expectation rose before the visit. I’ve started my clubbing experience on Ibiza in 2006 and visited many clubs on the island, especially Amnesia which also won multiple awards of Best Club in the World in 2007, 2009, and 2011 and I have to say that time it was an unforgettable experience to be there. That’s why I was interested to see what Hi has to offer and unfortunately that was a very poor experience. I didn’t even see Martinez Brothers because I left early. Let’s see the Good and The Bad:
The Good: Good quality of music Three rooms to choose from. Note: the smaller room is tiny so is nearly impossible to get in or out from there. Good air conditioning system in the main room Two gardens outside the buildings for chilling out
The Bad: Overcrowded. When the club is full you will struggle to dance because of the lack of space. When I left the club about 2am there was already pretty full but on outside there was a massive queue with about few hundreds more people. I was wondering how on Earth they are going to fit inside. No idea. Not a single professional dancer in any of the room. I was really surprised of that. This suppose to be the Best Club in the World and the owner decided not to pay professional dancers to pleased the crowd. Unacceptable. I was expecting some kind of show, with acrobats and fancy decorations. There was no show. Just the music and basic decoration in the main room only. That’s it.
I literally have no idea of what criteria been taken into account to give to Hi Ibiza award of Best Club in the World. I know that I’ve been there only once, but if the club is really the best, every night should be special. The Martinez Brothers night was very poor and definitely doesn’t make me to come back to this place. This club looks for me more like a ‘cash cow’, let the crazy amount of people inside to grab a lot of money but don’t give much back. I’ve pad for the ticket 65 euros, but the value of the experience was worth about 20 euro. Like I said, I’ve left the club very early and not planning to go back any time soon. I have no idea why this club was voted The Best Club in the World. It is definitely very far from that. We need to remember that this is Ibiza, so to make the club the best is not enough just to play good music. When people come to Ibiza and they are asked to pay 60+ euro for the night they expect whole experience, not just the music. And the Hi Ibiza provided a very poor experience, only good music, but I can listen good music outside the Ibiza too for much less...
Read moreVoted top club in the world 3 years in a row! The anticipation I felt after securing my ticket for this venue was one of total glee; giggling on the inside like a teenage girl. The bus to the venue from San Antonio was a hype. The architecture on arrival makes the venue standout amongst its surroundings, the clean lines promising something special for its patrons. Easy entry, no wasting of time or the effects of the multiple 20 euro drinks that had been consumed before entry. The alcohol helps me to feel comfortable when dancing, slightly loosened inhibitions helping to shake off some of that anxiety when I’m tearing the dance floor up. I am 6’1, 200 lbs and don’t mind pushing through a crowd to get to where I need. A gentle pat on shoulders, an apology followed by a big smile as I squeeze my mass through dancing crowds of friends and strangers. In the theatre room I got 1 meter through the doors( both of them) and was stood shoulder to shoulder with everyone else in the room. Totally unacceptable. The owners, promoters and djs that play these nights need to start taking responsibility for the peoples safety that are paying through the nose to see them. I went to the club room to see Vintage Culture; the Brazilian maestro, who was smashing it! That room was just and I genuinely mean just acceptable. Drinks prices are a joke; no need at all; but paying for them is your choice so I can’t really complain about it. Wanted to go to Tale of Us the following night but sacked it off; the potential for harm and the risk as a raver far outweighed the value of the experience of seeing the promotion. Left after vintage cultures set thoroughly and whole heartedly disgusted at the experience. Hi has the monopoly, it is a stunning venue with an incredible light and sound system that has the potential to genuinely be entitled to that best club in the world title. The reality is though that, much like the rest of the island, it is a front that wishes to capitalise financially to the detriment of everything and everyone else that goes there. You will not have a good night, you will not have a safe night and you will not get to experience the club in all its greatness and its majesty due to the sheer greed of those that are running it. If a dictionary came with pictures I’m sure an image of Hi would be found directly next to the word disappointment. Shame Shame Shame. Then to have the front to email me to vote for the club to help retain its title. Some people are deluded. A message to the owners; Climb down from your VIP table and attempt to experience what the bulk of your patrons have to experience. Maybe then you will reevaluate sending out such an ill...
Read moreI am shocked by the number of negative comments. I was inclined to cancel my visit, but luckily I went to see David Guetta. It is true that there will be a lot of people, but... let's not exaggerate! It is obvious that there will be a lot of people in Ibiza. I entered the club at 11:40 PM and practically until the morning I was standing about 3 meters from the DJ. It was crowded, but saying that you can't move is a lie. Maybe you couldn't dance, but a few people calmly went to the toilet during Guetta and returned to their places, in front, in front of the stage. The air conditioning was great, the sound system was great, the visuals were great. There were a lot of people in the House room, but there was space. The toilet was similar - but the experience was amazing. Both in the House room, where Meduza played, and in the toilet, where another DJ played. There really wasn't any crowd between the rooms, you could sit down in the gardens and relax peacefully. The main hall was indeed filled to capacity, but that's understandable, because everyone had come for Guetta's set and wanted to experience it, so it's understandable that the hall was filled to the brim. Quite a squeeze at the front, a bit looser at the back, because halfway through the party I went to see the visuals from the back. However, talking about the danger, that you can't breathe, is an exaggeration. I don't know if it's the best club in the world, because I haven't seen any other top clubs, but it's definitely a unique place - the music, the effects, the sound system, the attractions inside - these are elements that you simply have to experience. The impressions stay for a very long time and then no local club makes an impression ;-) If I could complain about anything, it would be the prices of drinks inside, on the other hand, just getting in for a whole night of fun with Meduza and Guetta, who played for about 4 hours, for 100 euros, is not an astronomical price at all. I repeat - do not believe these opinions that criticize this club so much, because I have personally checked that they are exaggerated, and I was ready to believe it and give up the event ww Hi Ibiza. Even the dress code, described on the website, is not so strictly controlled. I give the best rating, because the impressions are heavenly, the service is very ok, I have nothing to...
