I don't disagree in general. iI's a very beautiful island to visit and it is so much more than Pacha/Ushuaia/Amnesia etc. However my experience with IBZ is that it is disproportionately impacted as a party destination, even if those resorts are only a small part of the island. That can bring more than its fair share of alcohol issues or 'powder-driven' challenges.
Whenever there's a story in the press about an incident of bad passenger behaviour on a plane, it is almost always an IBZ or an ALC. Certain Greek islands make an appearance in these reports too.
