Thanks Dood for ur suggestion.

Where did you pick up ur girls before u brought them to Boracay?

Are Fridays & the Regent gf friendly?

See ya,

WW

WW,

The girls originally came from Edsa a long time ago, but now I just call them when I'm coming to town- no bar fine that way. If I remember correctly Manila to Caticlan r/t air fare on SEAIR is about $90 pp in Friday's package. Friday's has a booking office in Salcedo Village in Makati- makes it very easy. Can't speak for the Regent being girl friendly, but I imagine it is. Friday's= no problem whatsoever. At Friday's your comings and goings are fairly private because you have your own villa and entrance.

PM me if you want specifics.

You'll enjoy Boracay- we're going back January 07, (and Cebu is our next destination in early June 06- our first time there).

Would recommend Friday's for a quieter part of the beach... and for being in the middle of things, probably The Regent.

Definitely bring your own gals, not much going on there. I lucked out (not knowing this myself beforehand) and brought two lovelies there from Manila.

Hi guys,

Heading to Boracay for the first week in May. Would be grateful if some of you could recommend some hotels.

Whats the action like over there. Is it easy to get pick up?

Have a few girls from Yahoo wanting to go there with me but to be honest dont fancy being stuck for a week with the same girl. Would far prefer to sample a few different delights when in Boracay! What are the chances of that over there.......?

Thanks,

WW

Any help would be appreciated as I am planning a trip to the RP in April arriving on a Monday nite late and leaving the following Sunday morning and would be interested in hotels near the action areas of Manila and Makati as I want to experience everything from FLs of the malls, to the LA Cafe. as well as take in a fishbowl location. I have visited the Philippines two years ago on a business trip but this one is strictly for mongering. I have read all the reports on this site for the past year and have thought about switching hotels throughout my week to experience the different areas and have some funds as not to have to take the cheapest accomodations. Thanks for any advice.

Guys I would like to apologize If my mailbox is frequently full But I am processing 10-15 requests for travel advice and or hotel discounts daily,That is why I am frequently delayed in my replies.I can give you hotels at the Travel agent rate mostly in Cebu and Makati,Manila only But can give advice on the Philippines,SE Asia and China.I dont earn a dime on these since I do the bookings at cost basis or Travel agent rate or at my cost.Hope this clarifies delays and Mailbox being frequently full.

FD,

Thai teeth better than Manila? - how come.

I assumed Manila would be better than Bangkok because most Flips speak English - a pre-requisite for anyone sticking a drill in my mouth.

Re: girls - I plan to f**k as much as my dentist allows - just looking for a newbies guide i.e. best part of town, is walking better than cabs, best bars etc.

Appreciate your (and anyone elses) thoughts on the matter.

Thanks - Plum

True the Philippines has good dentists,Unfortunately the best ones are NOT in the Philippines,They are working overseas and only those who cannot work abroad are around,The loss rate is about 30% yearly out of each graduating class.But you maybe lucky to find one who stayed behind,

"Must do's" in Manila. Uhhh.... girls would be my first choice.

Also (at the risk of sounding way too glib) Bangkok is a much better choice for dental work. I can recommend a place there.

Planning to be in Manila in July to have my teeth fixed!

Should be about a 10 day stay.

Would it be too much to ask of you seasoned mongers to suggest some 'must do's' for my first visit?

Also, anyone recommend a good dentist?

Thanks.

Your inbox is full, so I'll post here.

I'm not dead set on the best western, so far I'm hearing mixed things, though it sounds like its still pretty nice if they give you a good room. I just don't want to get ripped off and have the place booked for my whole stay already.

Once its closer to the date I will let you know for sure where I'm going to stay.

Thanks for all your help!

PS, if you can get me one of their good rooms for 25/night I will probably stay there. If that works out I'd be willing to buy you a drink if you're in the area :)

My Inbox is now Free,Sorry I handle about 10-15 requests fror Travel advice daily.Yes they have crappy rooms and nice remodeled rooms,It is a 5 minute walk away from Burgos or about 2 kiddy blocks.Yes I can get you that rate at a remodeled room,If you want another nice option,The Oxford right on Burgos,One of my staff also used to work there,same rate about 25$.Cheers and waiting for your PM

Hi Send me A PM,If you want to really stay at the Best Western,Their Sales Manager used to work for me and I can get you a rate of about 1,300 pesos or about 25$.Cheers and Best Regards

Hey guys, newb here, this is my first post, though I've been trolling a while. I'm going to be in Manilla for a couple weeks in May and I've got a question regarding the hotels.

I was considering staying at the best western in Makati, but I've seen people mention elsewhere that you can get rooms much cheaper in Manilla if you don't book in advance through an online agency. Is there any truth to this?

I'd like to spend anywhere from 30-50 per night, obviously the less the better, but I'd also like to have a somewhat nice place. CL gave me some recommendations, but I didn't ask about the whole walkin thing.

Anyway, this will be my first trip out of the USA, so I'm excited. I'm going with a friend who is from the area, so to stay near where he's at I need to find a place in Makati or Quezon city. If a walk-in rate is really that much better, I could stay with his family for a night or so until I find a place that suites me.

I'll also be in Boracay for a few days if anyone wants to meet up. I'll be in Manilla the second and third week of May, but I don't know exactly which days we'll be in Boracay.

Take it easy

Xtorted Decay,
I will suggest you stay at the Cherry Blossom in Ermita. I've stayed there more than 15 times in the past 4 years. It is a decent place, next to Robinson's Mall (1 min walk), 5 min walk to the LA Cafe and in general just a good location.
The price has been php1,250 if you make reservation in advance. They will answer your email and confirm. I've never had a problem with a lost reservation or anything. You also get a breakfast for 2 every morning, but you have to go down to get it before 0930. They also call your room when the ladies leave without you to make sure you didn't get rolled too. The rooms have all been redone in the last year and they added 2 more floors a year ago. This place is not a pure monger hotel, they have conferences and other events going on. I was there once when they had a PI Educator's conference.
The email is: blossoms@i-manila.com


Forgot to also say, they haven't had Internet so far, but it's coming. I normally get a dial up card at 7-11 and use the phone in the room. It cost php10 per call, even if it's 2 hours or more.

Don't worry you will like the place it’s not a dump, location is everything and at php1250 a night you can't beat it.

Have a wonderful trip.
