Sunset strip and stag-party west coast — Cafe del Mar, Cafe Mambo and a budget-package crowd.
San Antonios reputation runs two ways: it is home to the worlds most famous sunset strip (Cafe del Mar started the chill-out genre here) and to the islands rowdiest stag and hen tourism along the West End. Budget hotels and direct flight links from regional UK airports make it the cheapest way onto the island, but the trade-off in atmosphere is real.
