Woman reveals how you can blag a FREE hotel room in Ibiza – but there's a major catch
A TikToker has revealed how she bagged herself a free hotel room on a last-minute trip to Ibiza – but it’s not quite the private getaway you’d imagine.
Beatriz Carpio, a 21-year-old medical student from Madrid, was over the moon when she received an invitation to attend Lacoste Ibiza’s summer event, roping in her childhood friend Toño for the trip.
In a rush to book flights, she didn’t factor in the cost of booking accommodation, and wondered if she could get herself a freebie if she chose an “alternative room”.
“I got an invite for a really cool event and we had to prepare the whole trip in under an hour: buy the plane tickets that left that same afternoon and the transportation to the airport since I live three hours away, call the hotel, pack our things and run at the door,” Beatriz told NeedToKnow.online.
“The craziest part was that my invite hadn’t yet been confirmed by the brand when we did all of those things, so we were just hoping that it would work out.”
With hotels booking up fast, Beatriz decided to stay in Suite Zero at the paradise hotel, a room that costs nothing to stay in, but has fully transparent walls where guests can watch you all night.
Keen to try the bizarre experience, she booked the room, and that meant little to no privacy for the duration of her stay.
She shared her experience with her 270,100 followers on TikTok (@bea_carpio_), and things looked pretty wild.
She said: “I saw it previously on Tiktok maybe like a year ago and it stuck with me I guess. I thought that it could lead to a lot of laughing, it was convenient since it is free, and we honestly just didn’t have enough time to think more deeply about it since the trip preparations were all so quick paced.
“Toño is an incredibly flexible person, he doesn’t complain basically ever, and he loves fashion so the incentive of the Lacoste party did it for him.”
But despite the obvious lack of privacy in a hotel where guests can snoop on you through the walls, it turns out to not be as bad as you might think.
In the clip, which received over 79,400 likes and 682,500 views, Beatriz pans around her relatively normal looking hotel room, before revealing the giant transparent walls which separate the rooms.
“Turn off the lights and hang sheets,” said one user.
“The craziest thing I've ever seen in my life LOL,” said another user. [sic]
“You have become the attraction of the hotel,” added another user.
“Do they listen to you from the outside?” said another user.
“Sleep walker zoo,” commented one user.
Beatriz said: “It was fun! People came to the lobby of the hotel, said hi, there was a bride running around the lobby, we bumped into a bunch of famous people... and I can say that I hadn’t laughed so much in a long time, it was just surreal!”
And the guests even manage to catch a peaceful night’s sleep.
She added: “We turned the AC all the way down so it was cold and we built a little fort/tent with the covers so people couldn’t see us sleeping and used sleeping masks to block the light, since the lights stay on all night, and we got a good night's sleep.”
“[It was] 100% free and you get to use hotel amenities next day which are honestly amazing.
“Of course it's not for the faint at heart or if you are seeking comfort, but it is definitely an experience that I would recommend if you are up for it! And hey, you might get a few viral videos out of it.”
