RBI the restaurant in Queens rents space there and is separate ownership which has nothing to do with the hotel even though you may dine and drink outside near the pool.
Most hotels have an outside guest pool fee. You say Queens has a hefty fee but did not state how much is the fee. How much is it?
Your friend could not have spent a lot of money for lunch unless he ordered USDA prime steaks. Most meals are $10-$12 range, certainly within 600 pesos each. BTW, RBI has great food in a very clean restaurant.
I have eaten there many times under the outside patio and have to say the pool at Queens hotel is one of the most cleanest and sparkling pools I have ever seen anywhere! The maintenance of the pool is excellent.
As for as Wild Orchild I don't have any info to your questions.

Posts: 119Wild Orchid. GF (or girlfriends!) friendly?
I know the standard response is all hotels in AC are GF friendly, but that's not quite true.
My last couple of visits were at Queens. Several times they refused entry to gfs (or massage girls) who didn't bring their IDs.
And you have to argue with the receptionists to let in say a group of three girls to visit you.
And Queens has a pretty hefty pool charge if you have three or more girls swimming with you. One guy I met had been there for a month and invited four girls for lunch and a swim. He had to pay quite a large pool fee for them to swim, even though he spent a lot on their lunch and drinks. He was not happy!
Ihis is obviously (I hope!) a mistake, but Wotif has the following in their Wild Orchid booking page:
"Couples who want to share a room are obligated to provide proof of marriage. Registered guests are the only ones allowed to be in guestrooms. ".
I've never stayed at Wild Orchid Angeles before, so it would be great to know:
- Can you have three or four girls up to your room without being hassled by the receptionists or security guards?
- How strict is Wild Orchid on IDs?

The hard product of the hotel was very nice, nice room, nice fittings, nice sheets, towels etc.
The service needs a big kick up the arse.
For mongering I do not see this as a good option for a hotel. It's on base, therefore no trike access. Needs car or taxi or service van. Girls might like the hotel but there are no supporting services for 'locals' ie no sari sari, it's harder by jeepner etc.

Posts: 165Why can I find so few reports about the Lewis Grand? Some friends who have been to AC and stayed there said it is the 2nd best hotel after the ABC. Anyone got any recent feedback.
Thank you.

Posts: 95Best hotel for fun
So I been looking through all these forms tonight trying to find info on a good hotel. I did read on here years ago about a hotel where they had girls coming in on a daily basis doing like wet t-shirt contest, beauty contest and other things. Also had it's own pool on site, bar, and you can get massages in your personal room. Is this place still open. They have places like this in Medellin, and Puerto Plata. So I was hoping they had some places like this there.

Posts: 164Boomerang Hotel
During a recent trip I stayed at this Perimeter hotel. I had a big room with a jacuzzi so my experiences are based on that. I prepaid my room through Agoda and the price was about 2800 pesos per night. I originally considered the Apartelle Royal which (for jacuzzi room) is a bit cheaper, is at a walking distance from the big clubs but does not have much to offer in the way of services (pool, security, restaurant). Before settling on Boomerang I actually booked a jacuzzi room at Royal Amsterdam (about 4500 pesos per night) but at recommendation of a senior member at the AC Forum moved my reservation to the Perimeter area.
Pros of staying at Boomerang:
- Great location next to Firepit, Candy Bar, Det5 and countless others (just a two minute walk).
- Couple of skanky bars just 50 meters away (skanky as in AC in the old times I was told).
- Small local shop just next to those bars (good for buying water or snacks).
- Spacious and immaculately clean (jacuzzi) room.
- Hot water and a rainfall shower head.
- Bed big enough for three or four to sleep in.
- No street noise.
- Pool and jacuzzi at the inner courtyard (no sunshine, for me a plus).
- Shuttle service until 11 pm.
- Absolutely wonderful staff: friendly, courteous, accommodating.
- Good restaurant (did a side-by-side comparison of Chicken Parmiggiana with Swiss Chalet and Boomerang comes on top), open 24 hours.
- 24 hour room service.
- Extra towels and a late check-out available at very reasonable cost.
- No checking of girls IDs.
Cons of staying at Boomerang:
- No checking of girls IDs (although I heard that they do this at request).
- Price good only for a short stay, for longer stay I would choose something in the 1000 peso range.
- If you prefer Walking Street it is a bit far (five minutes with trike or shuttle).
- Air-con very loud and maybe just a bit too small for the big room (probably better in the small rooms).
- WiFi adequate, but could be faster (good for YouTube most of the time).
- No handheld shower head.
- Jacuzzi slow to fill up (almost an hour).
- Late night bar stool banter incomprehensible (trying to understand a drunk Aussie is 60 percent guesswork, with all respect).
With enough talent at the doorstep I personally will probably stay at Perimeter in the future. Bigger clubs (I sampled Ponytails and visited Crystal Palace and Dollhouse) have more girls but the difference in my limited experience is in quantity, not quality. In a bigger club of say 50 girls I might have found 10 or 15 that I could have bar fined. At Perimeter I usually found two or three that I were acceptable or even quite attractive. At Firepit around the time that the girls arrive (2 pm) there were five or six that looked good to me. Maybe by visiting Atlantis or Ra at the appropriate hour I could have found the cute K-pop look-a-likes that filled the tables of Koreans at RnB later in the night. They are special creatures: I hear they have mens four or five times a day.

Posts: 9Hotel Options (and Reviews)
Hey all,
Long time visitor to AC and thinking about my next trip (probably in the summer). Anyway. I wanted to provide some feedback on my most recent experiences (over the last two years) related to lodging and see if anyone had anything good to say about Penthouse.
1.) WILD ORCHID. This has consistently been my "go to" hotel. I've tried out pretty much every room (old wing, new wing, poolside, upstairs, downstairs, etc.) and they're all more or less the same. Perfectly good, but not amazing. I really wish they offered real luxury rooms, or suites. The prices for the Orchid are at the higher end of the AC spectrum, so I just want the rooms to be better (and the TV's to be bigger). That said, the pools are fantastic, the on-site kitchen produces food that I would rate a solid 3.5 (out of 5), and the location is near perfect. It's a 3 minute walk to Fields, with a Quick Mart and a poker hall in between you and the fun. Perfect for before and after your time on the Strip. The staff is also always great, friendly, and accommodating. There's a reason I almost always wind up back here after I try somewhere else.
2.) ANGELES BEACH CLUB. OK, so this hotel definitely gives me the "luxury" that Wild Orchid does not (and the price point is pretty close depending on the room you choose). The food is at least as good, if not slightly better (the Asian restaurant on the ground floor is. To this day. The best food I have eaten in AC), but I find the pool to be very underwhelming. The biggest hangup for me with ABC is the location; it's just far enough away from Walking Street to be inconvenient. I don't necessarily mind the walk to the action, but coming back (with 3 girls and 12 beers in my system) - well, that's not a walk I want to do. Now the ABC does offer a shuttle service that will pick you up and bring you home for free (tip your driver), but I found this to be more annoying than taking the three minute walk back to the Wild Orchid. If, however, you value luxury and want the best that AC has to offer. You probably want to stay here.
3.) GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL. After spending around $100 US per night to stay in the two hotels above, on my last trip I decided to see if I could lower costs in this area and still be happy. The Grand Central has part of it's name spot on accurate. It is central! The hotel is. Literally - on Walking Street. If their ad says, "You can't get any closer to the action" - they're telling you the truth. I had a room facing away from Fields, so noise was never a problem. The room itself was nice. Very similar to Wild Orchid, albeit a bit smaller (half the price. So no real surprise there). If there was a pool, I never found it. The elevator is also really tiny. Like so tiny that the porter, my suitcase, and I couldn't all ride at the same time (apparently we hit the weight limit; though in fairness I'm a bit husky). I ordered food from the on-site restaurant once, and it was perfectly fine (but a bit overpriced). If I wanted to enjoy AC on a budget again, this would probably be where I'd stay.
I hope the above is helpful. If anyone has any feedback about Penthouse, please share! I love the location of this hotel, and it appears to be rather luxurious. But I've yet to hear anyone rave about it. What's the feet on the ground review of this place? Worth it?
Thanks all!
