Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend

Product Information

Just stories of how many women wanted him, how much dirty money he made, cheating on his wife, dodgy deals, meeting George Michael. This resulted in seeing his little finca go ballistic when it was used as the backdrop for Wham’s 'Club Tropicana' video and became the blueprint for the boutique hotel explosion that Studio 54’s Ian Schrager gets the credit for. I’m always interested in stories like this and there are some truly brilliant anecdotes in here (and some shocking ones too). Point being that at the very least you likely know that Harvey spends his summers there, manning the DJ booth on Monday nights in August and September.

Despite being written in a somewhat clunky, basic way, and being peppered with crude references told in Tony’s own words, this book is endlessly intriguing.

It was a real page turner and I would recommend it to anyone including people that are not fans of Ibiza. Having been a regular visitor to Ibiza and also stayed at Pikes, I knew of him and great to read his story.

Unfortunately i found myself getting very bored after the 8 gazillion mentions of how many women he’s slept with, how big and amazing his cock was and his sexual double standards on women that cheated on him. He'd decided to set his mind to being extremely wealthy and living the life of a playboy before inventing something very much like the black plastic menu board with movable letters so beloved of the British cafe, making a very pretty penny in the process. Safe to say he too can say he’s lived quite the life many people do not get to experience by seeing the world like he has. Sharon interviews longstanding Ransom Note contributor and friend Victoria 'Drama' Saunders ahead of a special fundraiser in her name after a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Ibiza legend who founded legendary celeb hangout Pikes Ibiza and helped turn island into party paradise.A few reviewers have questioned whether it is all true as it is so outrageous, I personally think it is too outrageous NOT to be true - to imagine all this up would be no mean feat! A depressing start to the book , but he showed courage despite suffering abuse in his early years ,definitely gives a meaning to work hard play hard definitely the original playboy /party king . Having visited Pikes Hotel since reading the book, I don't think he undersells it at all and from the book you can understand why the island has the reputation it does.
