In all my years of coming to the Philippines I have yet to take a fast-craft, so I was wondering about something.

Has anyone taken a ferry with a suitcase full of marital aids? Was this an issue?...

Very good advice.

Newbs take note.

Us? Are you a local?

Foreigners are unable to vote in Philippine elections.

Have you ever been to Cebu before, or are you one of those online warriors who can only dream about a visit?

Calda pizza is a block away from the Parklane.

BTW Calda Pizza is a franchise and...

Where did you go? You didn't name the place.

This has to be up there for the "worst FR ever" award.

WR,

I have IR's Ormoc FR's booked-marked, thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for the info XM.

Paying 1000 php per guest is outrageous, and I would have stood my ground and told the front desk staff to call the duty manager to explain why you needed to pay the fee when you booked the room with...

K1 used to be my favorite CC massage place, but that stopped in 2012 when the place went downhill. Legal disclaimer, this review is my own personal opinion based solely on my experience at this...

X,

I'm interested in your thoughts on Ormoc if you have the time.

I have never visited, but it's on my radar.

Cheers.

Interesting, thanks for the update. It's been years since I lvisited Sisters so I will have to check them out. Last time I was there it was K-Pop Central.

RK,

Graham has not been involved with Lone Star in a long time.

AFAIK Lone Star is still open, but IMO it was better back in the day.

Cheers.

Many CC hotels raise rates for large events. They do it every year for Sinulog and APEC, ect.

Were the increased rates at Elizabeth for stays during Sinulog or IEC event days?

Was the 1000 php a FEE or a GUEST DEPOSIT?

Did you book direct through Waterfront or online using one of the discount hotel websites? (Orbitz, Expedia, Agoda)?

If you booked online I would go...

The omelette is not bad, but I prefer the chicken chester, the sizzling sissig, half chicken or the tasty pork chop.

Of course YMMV, as well as your taste buds.

Your post brought back memories of my first visit to Red Lips.

I spent the day drinking at an Aussie buddy's place over in Guadalupe. I was pretty drunk when I left and I took a taxi to the old...

Well.

You asked why no reports about CC Malls in the Hotel thread, ergo my comment went over your head because the answer should of been self-explanatory.

BTW why no Japanese field reports from...

I asked a local who works in shall we say upper management here in Cebu about the situation. I was told the rule is, a GRO type bar cannot immediately open in the same place where one was closed...

The place has been under construction for 3+ years. It was supposed to open last year but typical Philippines delayed.

IMO this is NOT the place to talk malls, there are many other sites around to...

WC,

The pic in question shows the new mall over on the reclaimed SRP. SM Seaside, which opens on Friday November the 27th.

Hop on an SM owned Mybus for free this weekend to get to the mall, but...

Gents,

Red Lips is closed by order of CC Mayor Rama. Only time will tell if the bar will re-open under a new name.

IMO the writing was on the wall after the bar was raided back in 2012.
...

You sir are absolutely correct. It is Harold's Hotel. I visited a wingman who was staying at Henry's, I had that Hotel name on my mind. Brain fart, my bad.

Yep CC= Cebu City. IMO it's just easier...

Rent or hotels?

If you will be in town for only a month, book a hotel. It gives you the option to move around if the first hotel disappoints for whatever reason.

Changing a hotel from one part...

Karloin,

If the Filipina you met was not a pro, you did the right thing to hide her face.

Others may disagree, but hiding her face ensures anonymity for her and for you too.

Nice pics.

Why not post a FR or better yet post pics of Filipinas that you met in person, instead of posting dumb assed comments.

Maybe you need to get out of your mommas basement and get on a plane, instead...
