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

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, An incredible story about a small, skinny, lonely bullied child, who against the odds, grew up to live an existence the rest of us could only dream about. Tony eventually loved his rollercoaster life and life. Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend From a successful business life in Australia, and interesting upbringing, his story then turns to Ibiza and the reason he became the man he is remembered for today. 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? Independent Newspaper Tony Pike: Ibiza legend who helped seal the island’s reputation for debauchery with the Pikes HotelPoorly 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... Over 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.
