Guys,

I am here in Ormoc City, a beautiful Place, great weather a nd a town full of beautiful, brown skinned co-eds age 18-25. Have a lovely 21 year old with me sporting a "Rack of Gibraltar" Sadly, she is 2 years too old, keeping me from yet another "ode to the Bone Collector" Post. In any event the Hotel looks fine and I am situated in mu sual rooftop abode at 50% off the normal rate.

I noticed that the group of ex-pats that formerly occupied the Don Felipe Restaurant terrace are gone. I did not see them last January either. Wonder if the Hotel has instituted a "minimum" if you sit there and are not a hotel guest.

Guys,

I am on my third day here in Ormoc City. The Don Felipe Hotel had its restaurant remodeled and also remodeled and re-opened its fine dining restaurant from years prior. Both are nice. I will try the fine dining restaurant tonight. Food in the other is adequate but not very good. If you really appreciate good food (I DO) , you will not like it. I hope the other restaurant is better.

I have a 21 year old here but my reason for this Trip to Ormoc is to see my eldest Son, Danile. His mother left him here with her Family and went to work in "The Big Sandbox" against my strong advice not to do this. Fuck as a young man I had an opportunity to work there at a huge salary. Even then I had enough intelligence to pass. Of course she is not happy there. But she hates me for numerous reasons, Mainly my having other children besides our son.

Today I saw my very handsome, eldest son for the first time since last May. I have accomplished my purpose in coming here and I leave for Davao tomorrow. Ormoc is a beautiful city and it has many beautiful sexy, young women. I have posted on this many times before. I stay at Don Felipe for several reasons, mainly its proximity to the water and the center of town.

I have stayed few times at Don Felipe hotel. Location is good. I did not find the beds comfortable unless they have changed it. I was with company so do not know the mongering scene. It is very boring in Ormoc. No decent places to go and hang out. So nowadays I stay in Cebu only and ask my girl friends to take the ferry and meet me in Cebu.

Couple of blocks from the hotel is a massage place and when I went there there were hints of more than a normal massage.

From Cebu City you take the Supercat Boat or the W____, both depart from Pier 4 downtown. You can get the boat routes from the Cebu daily newspaper or, preferably, the Hotel in cebu will have the Schedule. Calling the Supercat line can be helpful. I always inquire as to departure times and decide when to go. I simply take a taxi to Pier 4, purchase a ticket and then wait to board. Takes two and one half hours to reach Ormoc from Cebu by boat. The bus from Tacloban takes about one and one half hours.

Thanks DS! The reference to SuperCat was a big help, as I was able to find their website:

Unfortunately the news is rather depressing, as there are only 3 boats per day. I was not planning on getting a hotel in Cebu this trip, so I either need to leave Manila at the crack of dawn, get to Ormoc in the evening and lose most of a day. As this trip is only six nights total, I may end up picking somewhere with direct flights to / from Manila and hold off on Ormoc until the end of next year when I will have time for a 3 week trip.

I did see that Ormoc has an "airport". Or at least what looks like a somewhat straight patch of dirt from the Google satellite images. Anyone know if commercial planes actually take off and land their? There is a mention of direct flights from Manila to Ormoc on the Philippine Airlines site (http://www.philippineairlines.com/de...ines/ormoc.jsp) , but when I called to book they said they don't actually fly there anymore, I guess the web page is just a ghost of things past that PAL hasn't bothered to remove.

Irony Monger,

I have done both routes. Obviously, flying to Tacloban, taking a tricycle to the bus terminal from the Airport and then a bus to Ormoc City, via Baybay is a bit faster. Personally, I hate riding buses in the Phils and these are the old buses, not the new, air conditioned ones. I go first to Cebu and spend some time there.

In Ormoc I stay at the Don Felipe near the port. It has had all the rooms remodeled. Food in the Restaurant is okay but not close to special. I like the pizzas they make there. The hotel had a karaoke club from 8:00PM to 01:30AM nightly. I like to sit on the outside porch of Don Felipe and try my luck with the ladies passing by. This has proven good for meeting cute, regular college co-eds and ladies.

The Sabin Hotel sounds good from posts here. It is out of the way so not easy to get around in the evening. It is best if you already have a lady with you. I come to Ormoc mostly to look for women and enjoy the beautiful, quiet seaport town.

I'll be taking a short trip to PI in December with the goal of visiting at least one place I have not been to before, and Ormoc City is on my list. What's the best way to get there? Fly to Tacloban and take a bus, or fly to Cebu and take a ferry? Where can I find bus or ferry times so that I can book appropriate flights?

I went there from Cebu so I can only give some information about the ferry. If you are coming from Manila I would suggest to go via Tacloban and spend a night or more there as well. That way you can tell us if it worthy to go there next time as well.

There are several ferries from Cebu to Ormoc, I would suggest SuperCat (http://www.supercat.com.ph/sched.asp). The other ferries are much slower but cheaper as well. Just check the weather forecast before you book, maintenaince and safety is not a very serious business here.

Just returned from Sabin in Ormoc yesterday. From the dire warnings here I was not expecting much, but it actually turned out to be the nicest resort place I've stayed at in Philippines outside of Panglao or Mactan.

Front desk staff was fine, rooms are huge, and the pool large and well-kept. Overall I'd grade it way better than Leyte Park or anything else in Tacloban.

The downside. Restaurant is only average and the beach is just a thin strip of rough black sand.

I don't recall what the grade of my room was, but it was very large, one matrimonial and one single bed, and had direct access to the pool via the veranda and was 2100 / night tax-inclusive.

Have some room pictures but I need to get them off my phone and where I'm at now I'm only getting gprs / edge connections.

Incidentally, Sunzibar on Burgos in Tacloban has some of the best ribs I've ever had at quite reasonable prices. 375 including rice, salad and ice tea for two.

Guys,

I viewed this hotel on a Saturday evening two years ago. The only person working was a young girl at the front desk who spoke english on a first grade level. Acted terrified, like she had just seen "Big Foot" when I asked her the rates per night for various rooms. Had my daughter and her mother with me and we decided to pass and return to Don Felipe with english speaking staff and a great view of ocea from the rooms and nice terraces off the rooms.

What was the cost per night for the various rooms when you stayed here? Anyone know current prices? How was the food in the hotel restaurant? Was it just lousy, cheap Filipino food?

I stayed at this hotel for about 5 days. It has a large pool, average food in the restaurant. The staff has a I just don't care attitude. The rooms are adequate to good. They are large enough and clean. The wifi is only available in the lobby and its just ok, kinda slow. The hotel is a distance from the port, however it is a short trike ride and the trike ride is very cheap. To take a trike to the port is about 5 mins.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, sounds very similar in quality to Leyte Park in Tacloban.

Please post a review if you get a chance after you visit. I'm going to see my girl in Tacloban in Oct and wouldn't mind taking her there for a couple days.

August 1, 2 may be too early for me. I expect to visit Cebu by the end of July so have to see how Cebu goes.

I will be a newbie in Cebu July 28-30. Would love to meet up for a drink. PM me please if it works out for you.

[Dragon Slayer]

Mongrinastrind,

Thankyou for the information. I may check out Tacloban if I have a good reason (hot, young big titted pussy). Ormoc has all that I need now.

Member 1453,

August 1, 2 may be too early for me. I am in Makati for a few days with my infant daughter. I will drop by Burgos St to see how things are. But no way I am shelling out the kind of money I did in Mirrors last Trip. That was rediculous for anywhere in the Philippines (P2100 to use the Room; P1500 extra to girl to shut her up crying poverty; P 200 to shut up ugly mamasan crying poverty; P100 to asshole bartender yelling "Tip, Tip").

I first fly to Cebu. If the pussy is waiting for me there like I think, it may delay my Ormoc boat ride. I expect to visit Cebu by the end of July so have to see how Cebu goes. Ormoc is a sure thing for me early on, especially now that my oldest son is attending school here while his mother took off to work in a hospital in Saudi Arabia against my advice.

I will post again from Makati City in a day or two.
