Tony binged a 24-7 lifestyle of sex, drugs, and excess. Now, this legend of the Ibiza party scene recounts the ups and downs of his years in paradise - The IndependentOver the years I met and spoke with Tony again on many occasions; I was always amazed by his stamina, his charm and his ability to tell a story. I was of course saddened to hear that he had passed away but at the same time just so impressed that he lived – and boy did he live! – to be 85 years old. Pikes will always be a testament to Tony’s hard work and creativity; I imagine the team at the hotel are already planning to create a place where the many thousands of people whose lives he touched can pay their respects to him in years to come.

The Independent: Tony binged a 24-7 lifestyle of sex, drugs, and excess. Now, this legend of the Ibiza party scene recounts the ups and downs of his years in paradise. DeepHouseAmsterdam too called Tony’s book a fitting memoir to the life of an amazing man, can be found here.

while his humble beginig and work ethic were unquestioned at the end of the book I felt that maybe due to childhood abuse Pike had a problem with love and commitment which suggested to me a constant search and unrest, THE TIMES: Much-married, hedonistic hotel owner who partied hard with many a pop star and was known as the Hugh Hefner of Ibiza; John Donne may have written that no man is an island, but Tony Pike came close. For instance Known as Mr Ibiza, he was the embodiment of Balearic hedonism, a brash, hard-drinking, drug-taking philanderer whose way with women would have made even the love poet blush. I don't recall anywhere in the book where he took any time out to reflect on the self and know true happiness from within and could possibly be a reason why he constantly enveloped himself in a social environment?

Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend by Tony Pike

Poorly written, very choppy and without flow. Some boring stories were elaborated on (I couldn’t give two shits about boats!), and some juicy stories glossed over. I blame the author entirely - he had one job... Mr Pikes: The Story Behind the Ibiza Legend by MT INK is one of the greatest books of all time to read. I had a love/hate opinion of Tony. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing impressive about shagging anything that moves. Not only did Tony screw a lot of people, but he screwed a lot of people over too.

HE was the sex-mad playboy who provided a tropical retreat for A-list celebrities to indulge their wildest fantasies.” In the end due to his reputation and Ibiza legacy I thought there was a danger of him becoming a freak show and badge of honor to the sheep hurdling wannabes who've got the t shirt, TheRansomNote left a wonderful review which you can read here. It’s a great thing to see the story of Tony being spread far and wide.
