Manila

[Park I]

Thats a positive

Had an excellent very cheap massage then at the end I asked if she would massage everything

She said ok but secret and only hand

I said fine

She then proceeded to give me a very reasonable hand job

All in all a good service

Yes it is 24hr too

In fact I had her at 6am then back again 2hrs later

I tipped her $100 because I am rich and stupid and she was a nice girl

I gave her tickets to the concert I am doing here in manila and shes bringing 7 other filipina friends too (typical! They are not shy on a freebie! )

So could be some fun tonight in my room shame I'm leaving tomorrow to korea

[Park I]

In room massage - 24hrs - anyone got any info?

I searched.

Is it a happy finish etc?

[Cebu Local]

Oh crap.

Looks like the Westin Hotel is no longer there...Now that hotel is called the "Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel" or something like that.

I read a few reviews which pointed out the experience was really bad.

So when I look up reviews for the Westin Hotel, the reviews are great.

But when I look up reviews for the "Sofitel" Hotel, the reveiws are average to poor.

Can a change in staff/ownership really make a hotel that much worse?

Yes,They did a lot of changes in staffing,Food and Beverage and standards.You were warned

Does anybody know where to get a HIV test in Manila, if so where, how much and how long does it take to get the results. I already know not to get tested personally here in the PI because they will report you to the govt. and good luck from there.

Thanks

I agree the Copacabana is alround the best hotel for the money but lacking a gym, much better than Heritage cus this is an apartment hotel, I usually get the 2 bedroom apt cus i like the space it provides. Westin has the best pool in Manila. I will stay at the Oakwood plaza which is the finest apartment hotel in the Philippines and also get the 2 bedroom, living room, kitchen, etc. with the best mall down stairs. 2nd best is the Century plaza a fine apartment hotel as well. Why stay in a 1 room hotel?

I like the Westin. GREAT pool with waterslides, great views of the sunset over Manila Bay. SLIGHT drawback is that it is kind of isolated so you cannot just walk downstairs and be in a mall or what. You will need to take taxis even to get to a sarisari store. GREAT and happening restaurant with a nautical theme just before you to get to Roxas blvd (when heading to EDSA complex from Westrin) is a MUST SEE to meet nonpros (and have a good meal-hotel restaurants are obviously pricey) . Enjoy your trip.

Thanks Surfer.

The Westin Hotel looks like a great deal compared to Diamond which is a good $30 more expensive overall.

[Surfer]

Copacabana, Next Door to Heritage, is just as close to EDSA complex and half the cost of Heritage (or less). Perfectly adequate, though get a higher floor to reduce noise. I believe it used to be owned by Pablo Cuneta, father of singer Sharon. If you simply must stay in a 5 star Hotel, consider the Westin which is only 5 minutes by taxi, and much quieter. Or Century Park next to Harrison Plaza (also only 5 minutes by taxi to EDSA complex).

Ralek if cost really is no issue, try the MacArthur Suite at the Manila Hotel. Loaded with old World charm (of which Makati has ZERO IMHO!)

I have only stayed in Makati once, and never understood why so many guys seem to prefer it (well I guess it reminds them more of US cities, but I travel to GET AWAY from things American!). HORRIBLE traffic almost always, and farther from the action (unless you frequent PBurgos, in which case the Century Citadel is an unbeatable location for a bargain price).

Hey Blink,

I actually never barfine anyone. I would either do the deed in the VIP rooms in the KTV and/or get their cell numbers while chatting with them. Most often they are open to hooking up with you during the day and if they realy like you they call in sick and just hang with you.

Of course, they expect a little tip at the end of the day. Having sadi that, 1000 Pesos for barfine seems reasonable.

Hello guys,
thanks for the info on MP ilongo_boy and fast eddie48. I will try thos eplaces once Im there.

Even Im not a newbie in PI, I went first time for barfine at Edsa last year and I think I paid to much for the gurls. 2000 to 3000 plus barfine for allnight/short time.

I dont know , but I dont wana ruin a GFE when I barfine the gurl and talk about money before also discuss about bj etc etc. On the other side I also dont want to overpay or gettin bad service.

So lets talk about this. You have made eyecontact to ur future barfine, you invite her for a drink, now u discuss prize and services. She ask for 3 000 short time and 5000 overnight, which isnt unlikely in Edsa and you just offer half of it. So what happens?? Either she will agree, or you have to say gudbye, walk out and try ur luck in the next bar, talk to another gurl, buy another drink, etc etc. So all in all you might waste tme and aditional money for ladydrinks etc etc. I not saying I would spent 5000 p but someting between 2000 and 3000 is reasonable? Or do I pay to much??

Maybe you guys share some experiences in bargaining and get a gud price without losing face and pissing ur future barfine off and spoiling the GFE.

Im talkin about one or two nights in Manila, after that I go to my gf in AC and in AC I have more time and can collect cp numbers etc and I know the price to pay over there, but Manila is a another scenery.

PM or post here and share :)

Happy hunting!!

I've stayed three times at the Heritage and I'll never stay there by choice again. The only thing that the place has going for it is its location across the road from the EDSA complex. If price is not much of a factor for you, I'd stay in one of the five stars in Makati.

:D

A nice place is the Hyatt casino on Pedro Gil. 2 blocks from LaCafe and Robinsons mall. Modern clean hotel. Price is around 5 6k php = $90 130 after taxes. Depending on the room. Great place with cutees at the front desk.

[Pete The Beat]

Guys,

Don't be confusing the Hyatt Hotel on Roxas with the much newer and 5 star Hyatt Casino which is in Ermita on Pedro Gil and Mabini - it is 2 blocks from the LA Cafe and Robinsons - well worth the money!! Check it out on the Hyatt website.

[GoodEnough]

Just read on the net that the Hyatt (Roxas Blvd) will no longer be Hyatt soon. Maybe should re-think staying there.

I've narrowed it down to:

Diamond Hotel

Pan Pacific Hotel

Diamond looks really nice..and it looks like its in the same area too.

[Eaglestar]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to a find a nice hotel to stay in.

So far, I've considered these two:

Heritage Hotel

Hyatt Regency Hotel

The price is not too big of a deal. I just want a really nice hotel. Any reccomendations?
