Hey Cebu local,
I'm heading out to SE Asia (my first time!) for 5 weeks in October and have been thinking about spending the fifth week in the Phillipines so I can enjoy a little sample of the LBFM's I keep reading about here. A few questions, and I apologize if you're already answered some of these:
1. First and foremost, what are the major differences in terms of the number of girls available between Cebu and Angeles? I'll have been in Thailand and Cambo for four weeks prior to PI so I'm kind of thinking Cebu might be a more relaxing scene for my final week in paradise. However, if the ladies are harder to find that may be too relaxing.
2. What is the weather like in early November? Someone I work with told me that November is Typhoon season. Is that true, and if so, does it rain all day/night?
3. What is average cost for ladies in Cebu? I'm assuming that if there's available girls, then there will be some sort of Go-Go setup where barfines and the like apply? Is it similar in price to Angeles?
4. Which hotels offer good location to the nightlife but also decent security. It sounds like from some of the previous posts that Cebu is pretty safe all around. If I do go, I don't want to end up in the boonies and have to cab my ass all over the place.
5. Do any airlines offer flights from Bangkok to Cebu direct. So far, and I haven't done too much research, it seems like the best approach is to fly BKK to Manila (Thai-Air: Approx. $320 USD RT) and then hop on a plane to Cebu (Phillipine Air: Appox. $90 USD RT) Do those prices sound fair or are there better deals to be had?
That's all the questions I have for now. I appreciate the help.
Viva WSG!

Hey Marco,
No offense, but Cebu Local gets these same questions all the time. If you read previous posts you'll find your answers. I get the feeling that Cebu doesn't mind answering questions but nobody likes repeating themselves.
I can't comment on Cebu, never been there, but you are right to be concerned about "burning out". Strange as it may seem, you really can have too much bar hopping and whoring around. After a month, I'm usually anxious to get home. After Thailand and Cambodia, you may be ready for a quiet beach. My two bits: for just "puntang" Angeles is my favorite city in the world, but it offers nothing else.
The weather in November is great, your friend is mistaken. Typhoon season is right now.
Prices in AC are running 1000 piso for LT, plus tip if she's good. I do not tip bad ones, fair/good get 500 piso extra and I'll give a great one (someone that I'd go with agian) 1000. Short time is going for 400-500.
Hope this helps.

My bad Cebu!
I didn't realize you answered most of my questions in previous posts. I skimmed the other stuff too quick and I guess I was just looking for a brief summary of everything all in one post.
Anyway, I've jotted down a few of the hotels you mentioned (e.g. the one that has pussy room service) but is there a central location in Cebu where all the "action" is? Or are most of the places you've listed spread out? Just trying to get a better picture of how the island works.
Firedick,
Thanks for the info on Angeles and in particular the bit about the weather. Now I'm definitely going! And seeing that you list Angeles as your "favorite spot in the world", I'm thinking I have no choice but to spend at least a few days. Shit I'm only 26...mellow shouldn't be in my vocabulary yet!
Keep fuckin...

.marco pole,a couple of quick answers about your questions about cebu,ironically i am going to AC tommorow and looking forward to hitting something new.Cebu is outside the typhoon belt and rarely gets hit by typhoons,maybe1-2 times a year,but it may be rainy but not as bad as AC,the action places are spread out but for a first timer who wants to chill out after BKK,you might prefer cebu,since there are other things to do,great beaches,diving,trekking,shopping in between rounds of bar hopping.flight wise cebu has direct daily flights from singapore,hong kong as well as korea,japan,malaysia etc,so you have other options to go via manila.AC has no international airport,though it has domestic airport with a direct daily flight to cebu and vice versa.try to give me better idea of your budget and i can refer you to appropriate bars,clubs,casas etc regards

Hey Cebu,
Thanks for the reply. Basically, I will definitely be flying into the Philippines via Bangkok, so my first destination will no doubt be Manila. From there, I think I'm going to take Firedick's advice and check out AC for 2-3 nights. I found a charter airline that flies into Clark Airport (in AC) from Manila called Seair for a pretty reasonable price. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they offer a flight directly from AC to Cebu, so I'd be interested in hearing from you what airline offers that service. Tentatively, the dates I would like to fly to Cebu from AC are either November 3rd or 4th.
In terms of budget, I'm bringing enough to have a comfortable trip, but am not looking to blow it all on 5-star resorts and the like. I just want to have a good time, meet some beautiful ladies, and have a decent place to bring them back to. The diving and other activities you mention also sound great. Let me know what you think...
You the man!

P.S. I wouldn't mind a place with a nice pool that's near the beach(as long as it's girl friendly). I don't mind paying a little extra.

Hey Im leaving next week coming to cebu. I will take your advise and stay at park place cebu local. Thanks for the info on it. I will stay there for 3 or 4 days till I find a furnished apartment to stay at. If you have any suggestions of where for me to check on a place let me know. I am looking to spend maybe 300 us a month on rent. I wouldnt mind staying somewhere that other people from america might be staying also. Anyway I thank you for any advise you can give and for the advise you have already gave. Cant wait to get there.

Howdy to those who love Cebuanos!
I'm returning to Cebu after a ten year absence.
I'm sure much has changed.
Could anyone tell me if SeaFoodCity in Lahug is still open for business? I remember a disco called Balls, is that still there? I also remember some great Chinese/Philipino restaraunts. If anyone can tell me of some good restaraunts I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
I do remember that at Cebu Plaza one could buy a sports membership. When I stayed an apartelle for two months I was able to enjoy the pools and mini golf plus other activities in the membership. It was a great place to go to cool off and romantic at night because of the view.
I do not know if this membership is still offered.

To mangothaibob:
When I was there in December of '01, Seafood City was indeed still open, and in my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Cebu.
You could not get any fresher seafood. We especially enjoyed the calimari prepared with spicy curry, and the Lapu-Lapu with garlic is pure heaven.
Re the sports membership, sorry, but cannot help you there.
I'm jealous that you're goin there now, and I'm stuck in the good ole USA.

To Tomtom and friends of Cebu,
Tomtom,Thank you for your response. You remember those delicious meals. Yes, now that you mention it, lapu lapu fish is good. I remember having a shopping kart and you walk along an pick out a fresh one. (fish not girl)
I think I stayed at the Landmark Hotel which I heard burned down many years ago. Probably arson so they could build a new shopping center or such.
Anyway, I'm thinking of staying at Mango Park Hotel based on previous readings.
I have stayed at the ST. Moritz. It was satisfactory and easy to have girls to the room.
It was very close to the Landmark.
I have been reading lots of good things about the happenings in Cebu from all of you and it brings back memmories.
-
Just wondering if any of you Cebu friends have ever visited Tacloban City and Ormoc City? Any recommendations for lodging, good places to eat, even places to "run into" girls.
Thank you for any help.

guys,you can still buy the membership in cebu plaza,but there are a lot of newer places like the cebu city sports club beside marriot,seafood city is still a great place to eat,but there are some places like sutukil in mactan shrine on mactan,sea farm near shangrila worth visiting,it is cheaper and fresher but out of the way,tomtom there have been some new places opening lately,am still currently in luzon with 3 companions from AC i picked up last week.regards
