Manila Hotels

[Lalake]

Thank you all for the recommendations. Those are great options, and it seems that I'd have to choose between either something close to P Burgos and Makati clubs or close to LA Cafe and the mall. Was hoping if anyone could suggest a location that's between both, somewhat in the middle. As its been stated that the traffic from one to the other is about an hour. My goal is to be able to make it easier for me and my female 'guest' from either end to be able to reach my room easier. Also in the event that I have them come over after work or an outside arrangement. Same with a civilian non-P4 P girl, as being in a hotel too close could make it to where they won't want to meet or come with me to my room to 'watch a movie'. I'm guessing I'm going to have to either choose one over the other and make do with traffic, or is all this a moot point and the girls will come from either end regardless of where I choose (basically make it easier on myself and choose a spot, the girls will come either way, doesn't matter where I am, making distance irrelevant). Hope I'm not being too greedy or difficult, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well of course in Makati there is Fairmont and Shangri La, etc. But there is New World which is a bit cheaper and a great hotel. There are tons of hotels near MOA (Mall of Asia), those are all 5 star, but Sheraton is cheaper to stay. There also used to be hotels like the CITADEL in Makati and a few on P Burgos.

Yes there is a middle, but no I don't think you want to stay there, and even if you did it wouldn't make either commute any easier. You will have to pick one or the other. It comes down to what you want to do. If you want to turn and burn girls 24/7 then you may want to stay in malate near LA Cafe as that is the easiest option, but you will only have LA Cafe and Robinsons Place to keep you entertained. If you are planning just the nightlife then in Makati would be better as there is burgos and casa available and a lot of places to shop and dine to keep you entertained. If you are planning to bring girls from outside to meet (online meetups) then it will be easier if you were staying in makati for the girls. Many girls will be scared to travel to malate because they perceive that place as dangerous. If you are still adamant of finding the middle ground, then you could stay in Pasay. Geographically Pasay is not in the middle, it makes a triangle if you plot the points. But Pasay will give you a straight shot to makati and LA Cafe both plus it gives you access to MOA, COD, Baclaran, and all the south areas.

Agree I wouldn't stay in the middle. I don't do the bar scene so Makati never appealed. I used to stay there for work a couple of nights a month and at night just did not find it interesting although I stayed at Ayala triangle area which was not very lively. Pasay has MOA but I actually preferred the Baclaran markets as you can see mega malls anywhere. I personally detest LA Cafe. Every time I went there it was crowded and filled with middle aged MILFS. I stay in Malate if I pay. I never picked up a Robinsons streetwalker even though occasionally there would be an attractive one. I always do my hunting on the dating sites, PinaLove, DIA, Tinder and Tan Tan. Sometimes needed to add a bit to the payment for them to come but many either came on LRT or used the motorcycle taxi which is cheaper and faster than Grab. Really as always its personal preference. I like Robinsons Place mall more than than MOA or those in Makati and I prefer Malate for casually walking around. Also some nice cheap condos, check out Grand Apartments in Birch, US $ 40 a night, in the tower directly opposite Robinsons. I got a week for less than US $150 in Bay Area Suites. Heading there in June.

I was just there last week. It's not possible to walk to P Burgos and LA Cafe without taking a Taxi I think. It was easy to get a Taxi, just hail it the same way you do in the USA. Peso from LA Cafe to Maki was 200 peso and less than 20 minutes. There was nothing at P Burgos that was worth it to me. I was glad to be two blocks from LA Cafe and the Mall.

P Burgos and Makati clubs or close to LA Cafe and the mall. .

I just stayed at the New Coast Hotel, two blocks from La Club just last week. Had no trouble walking girls in. You have to walk them out, because if they go themselves they will get stopped and the Staff will call your room. So be a damn gentleman, and walk them and walk them out. No one seemed to bother me there.

Best girl friendly hotels near the action to stay at? Has anyone found a hotel where the girls don't need to show Vax info to allow entry or is this a situation where I will have to "donate" to the staff / guards? Would like something not too expensive with gym and food. Based on prior reports, some girls don't like going to hotels too close to the action, so wondering if there's a good one that's a reasonable distance for walking and girls are willing to go into.

It is the renowned Robinsons. I rarely noticed freelancers there in the afternoon but have not been back since covid. Then again when just wandering around the Mall I have had girls give me the look.

Yeah. ?. They are still there.

But, of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the ones outside (since they are no longer inside or hanging in the smoking area) are all 0-2's at best. Harrisons is gone, so looks like some have migrated over. To be fair there are a few 4-6's inside, but since they are not allowed to just hang in front of starbucks anymore, they kind of do the racetrack thing like at lizboa. If you have the time you can sit in starbucks and wait. They will pose in front of starbucks, stall on their phone, and then after a while take a walk and repeat. Everything is pretty much online now, if you have data, device, and online account, its like ebay. So, so many to choose from, so so little time.

So I RTFF, went back to page 20. I've narrowed my choices to Ramada Encore Makati and City Garden Grand. Don't seem to be too far from both P burgos and LA Cafe. Price seems to be better at Ramada, does anyone have any experience staying here? I'm guessing its GF as well. Also, I see there's a park I have to walk across, is that a location where WGs would be and is it safe to walk thru it at night?

If I remember correctly city garden is much closer. But although on the map LA Cafe and Burgos don't seem that far, with traffic you are looking at close to an hour ride between the two via taxi or grab. ID and vax card is mandatory everywhere (hotel) for entry. ID is no problem most will have an ID or they will borrow someones ID. The vax card is not a problem as you can download print and just fill in vax card info as needed. Just print up a bunch so you are ready to go when needed.

The fellas might want to RTTF, back just back 11-12 days ago, General Info thread. Posts #18657, #653, and #651, by myself and Ghost, covering said topic. Complete with quality descriptions, exact locations, pictures and maps.

GDreams. Good ideas!

Robinsons Place mall. Known for freelancers in the early afternoon? Or is there another Robinsons?

Probably will look at the other apps.

KTV, never been.

Korean and Japanese food sounds good!

Have booked my trip for late April, thru early May.

I booked the Sheraton Manila Bay, which is the former Pan Pacific Manila. Rebranded in 2019. Will stay there for a week, then will go to the Peninsula, where I booked for 5 nights. They seem to have good rates available, with some added benefits if you book for five or more nights, one of which is late checkout, up to 10 pm and early checkin as early as 6 am. With my flight departing to Guam at 10:30 pm, the late checkout is helpful.

Having stayed at a AirBnB Gramercy Suites condo for 2 visits, also the I'M hotel and City Garden. I know Makati well enough. But don't know Malate.

How is Malate? Probably no bars like Makati Burgos St. From what I read, it's somewhat "colorful", and has more than enough bars. What about freelancers? Not too interested, but never know. Only know three girls from previous visit (Makati) - stayed in contact but really plan to meet more on Tinder, maybe elsewhere.

Hoping for some discussion on the Malate area, whether for night life, day time leisure, shopping, or transportation. I like Filipino food so that should be easy.

There used to be a lot of KTVs in the area. I have not been since Feb 2020. There are a few bars with live music in the area. A lot of Korean some Japanese restaurants. Robinsons Place mall is 1 block for shopping and restaurants. LA Cafe is in walking distance. There are freelancers on Pedro Gill opposite MacDonalds (2 min walk). I prefer Pinalove, DIA and TanTan to tinder.
