Any suggestion (on Boracay) on where to locate for someone who prefers to not be surrounded by droves of Koreans, a place ideally than doesn't let in families and throngs of their screaming kids.

My American friend Bill owns Casa Camilla, https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1095131. Quiet and affordable apartments that include kitchens. Almost all the units are booked by long-term guests, but they keep a few reserved for short-term stays; I think the minimum is 6 days. It's near station 3. You may want to email them bill_lorna (at) yahoo (dot) com to find out what's available. Some of their long-term guests sublet their units when they go travelling for a while.

Hotels:

Boracay Beach Club – Good hotel but if you are alone this is great and near a lot of the lady bars. If you are with someone then stay at another hotel.

Shangri-La's Boracay Resort & Spa – Nicest hotel on the island, away from town and quiet. I am a big fan of the Shangri La chain and if you stay here for sure before you arrive sign up online for their Golden Circle Club the perks are awesome.

Monaco Suites de Boracay – This is more a destination resort on the other side of the island, rooms are awesome and huge but again far from everything.

Restaurants:

Alchemy – Best of the Beach Road places and quite upscale with a fusion menu and even a tasting menu.

Address: Station 2, White Beach, Boracay, 5608.

Phone: 036/288–1972.

The'Talipapa Market – This is actually a great fish market and you go in and buy whatever you want to eat and then take what you buy to one of the nearby restaurants and have them cook it for you how you like it. This is not romantic at all but a fun time if you like this type of casual eating.

Station 2, Boracay.

Bay Leaf Café – This is the best of the "real" Filipino places on the island.

Palasaa Spa Building, Main Rd. Station 1.

Aria – Very romantic and the one good place for Italian food in all of PI.

To Do:

"Island hopping" means not so much traveling from island to island, but rather more circumnavigating Boracay aboard a local "banka" motorized outrigger, making various stops for sightseeing and activities along the way. Half-day excursions usually head first for Crocodile Island, where you can snorkel in the crystal clear water and admire the marine life. Also normally visited are Crystal Cove, an island with two sea caves, and a secluded Boracay cove known as Puka Shell Beach. Also, try Ariel's Point, a spectacular outcrop of rock around 3 miles away, or 30 minutes by outrigger, on the neighboring island of Panay. Excursions here include canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, and simply enjoying the views. The more adventurous can also try their hand at cliff diving from one of five platforms, which range from 10 to around 45 feet above the turquoise sea.

Ladies.

I was on Boracay in March and July last year. I like it, because it is quiet but fine for a party too. Specially in July it was very quiet.

Cocomangos is still the place where you can have a party and find a girl. I would say there were 30 to 40 girls around. It gets busy around 10. Across is another newer bar. Some girls move from one to another. At 1 am many girls move to Summer Place bar on the beach which is close to Bootstation 2. Here you can find more ladies. Some other bars are Hey Jude, Carl's Bar, Bamboo Bar and the Wave Disco. Some of the places have live music. There I found 2 karaoke places where you can pick a girl. Virgin Place and Zwammpys. Just ask a motodriver. There are also some FL around the beach. But also Ladyboys, be careful.

Boracay and the Boracay Beach Club.

I'm in Boracay now. In the Boracay Beach Club next door to Coccomungas. I must say this is a great location. The noise at night is not any issue whatever. The convenience of finding a date in the club and walking 50 yards to my room is fantastic. I'm here for 3 nights and must say I'd do four if I could do it over.

By the way, standard fare in the tryke is 10 pesos except from the harbor.

I must say the Boracay Beach Club is great. $80/ night with swimming pool and walk in shower large enough for three people. Security takes your date's ID at night, which I appreciate. The place has 30 rooms, is about 5 years old, well designed with free wi-fi. An electronic safe is in the wardrobe cabinet, but not attached to anything. The bathroom tile has a modern European look and the mattress is on a wooden platform. Staff is friendly and will provide extra towels or clean the room floors upon request. Sand tends to get tracked into the room easily. I was provided coupons for a complimentary breakfast and daily beer. The owner holds a US passport and is married to a Filipina. He showed me around when I arrived and explained how he happened to build the property. He claims that in high season the high rollers from Manila sort of take over the place. Right in front of the BBC is a restaurant / bar called Ariels where you get your included breakfast. Singles and some families with small children are in residence but the club is absolutely guest friendly. Location, location, location is what it's all about and this place is at station one. Nice legit massage next door for 350 psp / HR and laundry 60 yds down the street. I had a good massage each day. The beach is directly across the narrow paved road and easily accessed in one minute. Coccumungas disco is on the other side of the massage place.

Ambiance or vibe of the island is really nice. Particularily after Manila. Coccomungus can consistently satisfy all needs. I would walk to the disco next door at 10 pm. The women seeking the western man crowd hang in the front of the bar. The back 2/3 of the bar is filled with the Koreans who dominate the tourist population. There is good music, a younger crowd, but no problem for older guys. There is security at the entrance of the disco and the local men get checked pretty carefully. A sign outside the entrance requests that weapons be deposited with security. I never saw any problems. There is no cover here and SML is 67 pdp. My girlfriend the first night got a discount for us of 50 pdp / bottle. A 28 yo sweet young thing that I met apologized for her advanced age with sincerity and told me how much she prefers an older man (and his money) Life is good here. My first overnight was 2000 pdp and the second was 4000 with a masseuse from the Regency hotel. The third night was a 3 way that worthy of Thailand. When I first arrived a trike driver told me that short time was 2500 and long time 3500. So it can vary with circumstances and your bargaining ability.

Photography on the beach has been nice. The 10' wide locally owned convenience stores alternate with the 80' wide bars and even larger beach front hotels. I like the vibe here very much. A lot of the beachfront businesses are separated from the ocean by tall bamboo and opaque plastic sheets whose purpose is to reduce the destructive effects of wind on the shops. This means you can prowl directly on the beach during low tide or stick to the parallel store front pathways. I've never seen this type protective barrier before, but it makes sense in this typhoon prone region. My only regret is not going sailing with a GF during the day. Sailing in the small cats and island hopping seemed to be the primary diversions for the non diver. Diving schools are plentiful.

Hard to find a good looker who is willing to spend more than couple of hours, who do a lot of BBBJ, and who do threesomes

This certainly applies to holiday visitors. However, the guys that actually live here report getting great service from the top shelf girls at prices of 500 to 1000 p for a couple of hours!

Where as tourists can offer larger tips / Ladies Drinks and "Rolling" barfines as incentives, the locals can offer ongoing cash flow and also the ability to infill slow periods. Apparently they regularly get discount rates during the girls "hour of need"s. This also gives the option to get the favor repaid when the local guy has an itch.

It sounds pretty tempting. I normally come for several weeks so may spread the word that I have permanently relocated on the next visit!

[Goferring]

My guess is that they are from all over the country.

Correct. Though there are a lot of Catholic Mindanao girls arriving in town. One of the Mamasans in Midnight has two staff houses of girls from Davao. All are tall, pretty and buxom. The small spinners tend to come from Manila or Luzon generally.

Hard to find a good looker who is willing to ...do threesomes.

There are many girls in town that will do threesomes. Especially in low season when times are tough. However the vast majority are strictly a gay-for-pay experience rather than a true bi / homo sexual experience between the girls. A lot will tell you up front that they are happy to go three up but will not DATY another girl so it's basically one guy banging two individual girls. There was a truly gay girl in Disco that would be all in if she could select the third partner. Recently this has been a less attractive short girl but previously it was a China white skinned Muslim Mindanao girl. These threesomes were the real deal and very enjoyable. Unfortunately she is boyfriended up and back at home for as long as that lasts.

[GreenBud]

Any idea of provenance of these girls? Local? From a particular province, region, or city? Or from all over the country.

My guess is that they are from all over the country.

Facts: One was from Laguna (an area/city in Luzon between Batangas and Manila) and one was from Mindanao. :-)

the quality of service and GFE is inversely proportional to the average looks

Absolutely agree. Also applies to Angeles.

Hard to find a good looker who is willing to spend more than couple of hours, who do a lot of BBBJ, and who do threesomes.

Since the good lookers are barfined everyday (they will have multiple requests), they can be very selective.

[Golfinho]

Barfines and total cost were the same; it was 1500 for barfine and 1500 mandatory tip. Beer prices went up slightly. There are 2 new girlie bars. What's Up next to Coco Lips and Quantum replaced that disco above Venus. Hence you now have a total of 9 girlie bars.

- First time back in a few years.

- IMO, Venus is the best girlie bar for lookers. Note that some girls only go out with East Asians. It is very popular with the Koreans. By 7 or 7:30 PM, over half the girls are already barfined. This bar sometimes closes very early because most of the girls arebarfined.

GreenBud,

Check your PMs.

I'd agree with your comments with the addition that the quality of service and GFE is inversely proportional to the average looks of the bar. Over the years the Koreans have set very low expectations for the K-focused girls. They have been accustomed to being well tipped for uninspiring service and quite often in and out within an hour. Good looking girls abound at Venus, Village and Midnight / Quantum but you will be fortunate to find a true performer. On the other hand the other bars frequently have girls that provide a great and extended experience.

Regarding Cash and ATMs, it's always been an issue in Sabang. The bank in town is rarely online and has the lowest withdrawal limit. A far better option is to catch a motorbike in to the PNB in town for 100 p and you can withdraw 10 kp at a time as many times as your bank allows. It was 20 k per go but that was years ago.

- Same MO as before. The Koreans come in at opening time (at 6 PM now), take the best lookers, and then the Whites come in later (probably after dinner).

- I was told the following by a girl: The Australian that owns the Midnight girlie bar opened up Quantum. He is going to lose his lease on Midnight. He bought the building the houses Venus, and he's going to kick out Venus next year and move Midnight into it.

- There's a foosball table (football table) in Quantum. It's a nice one. First one I've seen in SE Asia.

- There's a Max Bank a little up the hill. Maximum withdrawal limit is 5000 pesos. Now there's a handwritten sign that states the limit. The ATM doesn't tell you that. If you put in 10000, it just waits and then the ATM tells you it timed out. What lame SW! That's probably why it never worked for me before (the 5000 pesos limit sign wasn't there before). Be warned that sometimes this bank, and the other bank in town (PNG Bank - it was Allied Signal) can be offline for a long time. You need to not wait till last minute to get your money from ATMs.

- You got beggars (Muslim?) and ladyboys around. Becoming like Angeles. Ugh!

Be careful. After a few days in the Philippines us foreigners get a little delusional. We start to believe we are so handsome and so desirable.

Well you are DG but it is not me who is delusional as it is true that I am like Brad Pitt LOL.

Also, I met 2 waitresses at the hotel I was staying at in Manila, so I checked out booked into another and we had a great 3 some.

No way you do it in the same hotel, for example. A girl I know in Dubai. Her good friend did this and next day was terminated. In the Philippines there will be lots more 'consequences' especially if it is a small town etc.

[SaltyPete]

I think it is a well known international hotel rule that hotel staff do not bed with the guests. If you really are keen on the hotel girl then you are going to need to do it offsite and maybe after you have moved hotels.

If hotel staff sleeps with you, she will tell you she lost her job (maybe scam, maybe true) and try to guilt you into supporting her. She already has all of your info. Not worth it, IMHO.

[BrainDrain]

On re-reading my post, there was some information that I forgot to include.

Firstly, when I return, I will be staying in the same hotel as I was before.

Secondly, the thing that made me feel I might get lucky; One of the girls who was working the hotel desk got chatting to me one morning, and she was open enough to comment that she thought it was strange that my ex did not stay overnight with me.

Thirdly, the same girl also complained to me about how her and her friend had to travel nearly two hours per day to get to their jobs in Surigao. Her friend was very hot little number who was working in a shop directly across the road.

You also need to consider that the hotel girl will have all of your personal contact details to use as she (and her pinoy BF) choose.

It's a country of 50,000,000 pinay, you ex-wife and the hotel girls are off limits, other than that you can go for the other 49,999,995 pussies.

When I was staying at a Surigao hotel I was surprised when my overnight girl was allowed to just come past reception and straight to my room without a warning. Turns out she was a school friend of the reception girl. This same reception girl had helped my ID two girls earlier in the day to make sure they were of age. Seems that she was happy to help her friend but also retained some information. As I know of this link now I no longer stay in that Surigao hotel.

I'm not sure that a "good" Filipino girl would have made the above statements to me.

Thanks again.

I love screwing Asian women. Does anybody have any experience with Surigao girls? Next trip will be for ten days, and I want some entertainment.
.

Surigao is my regular provincial visit town. Over four visits I have never slept alone in this place. WC info is correct about provincial girls. It would be hard for a local girl to be out and about dating a foreigner without too much gossip. What has worked for me:

Dating sites: Get some contacts from pinalove or Tagged before you go, no more than two weeks notice required. Do check that they are within a one hour bus ride of Surigao.

WeChat: I have found good contacts will be available in your local area. There are some regular girls that work wechat, plus many girls from our of town will set up and operate through wechat.

The MO of the local girls will be that they want to come directly to you hotel room. They don't want to be seen out and about with you. Maybe have some beers, Tanduay, red horse or movies to watch to calm their nerves.

I'm planning my next trip back to SUR in early 2017. Can't wait to taste some more provincial university student pussy.
