FM: I have yet to run into a hotel that bats an eye when I bring girls in. Sometimes the security at the door will want to see an I'd. Try the Diplomat in Fuente / Cebu. Read this for girl-friendly:

Does the Diplomat require girls to check in with I'd? I have stayed at CebuMidtown before and they do not require the ladies to check in.

Hey GG,

I have lived here for 14 years, and a lot of time in Cebu.

You do NOT wish to stay in a property that allows you to enter without passing by any guards or through security.

If you can do it so can half the populace. Such a place will be very insecure.

Even haberdashery shops here have armed guards. Bored shitless but they are still provided with employment.

Almost every hotel / pension house / apartment will have security at any public entrance.

You will just have to face the fact that at some stage somebody will see you enter and leave.

Most properties also now have CCTV on each floor that can be checked later if something irregular happens. They all realised they needed it as backup after a popular actress Nida Blanca was found stabbed to death in her car in her condo parking bay and nobody had any record of her entering or leaving.

Point taken mate. So then, anything come to mind where at least I wouldn't have to check girls in everytime I come home with one? That's why I'm curious about the Lancaster and places like that.

The waterfront hotel (the one in the city not the one near the beach) charged nothing for one girl but like 100 for the second. They all had to check in with I'd. Same at kiwi lodge as far as I could see.

Hello,

Is it in all hotels in Cebu no problem to enter with a girl or do some charge extra if she stays overnight?

All,

I'm looking at week in Cebu City / Mactan / Lapu Lapu later this month and would like to know if anybody has stayed in the Lancaster condotel or any similar property? I know it's not in Cebu City but that's ok. I'm looking for something much more discreet than most hotels offer, something with a private entrance. Don't want to see any guards or reception on my way in with the lady friends I will bring home.

Can anybody relay any feedback on such a place? Or a hotel that offers the kind of private entrance I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance.

Saw this advertised on the back of a taxi yesterday, location below.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?...&ie=UTF-8&q=JY+Crown+hotel+cebu&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=JY+Crown+hotel&hnear=Cebu+City, +Philippines&cid=2094958315000303707.

Rates between PHP1800-2500 a night (suites are 2500)

And it does monthly rates of between 20, 000 to 30, 000 pesos.

Never been there but just for information

I got tired of payin those prices, so I got hooked up with smart-bro wireless and its about P20 per hr!

I did the same when I have been at Diplomat last time, but unfortunately the SmartBro connection wasn't much better either!

How was your connection with that there in Diplomat?

I'm at the Diplomat now, and the internet pricing is for 1h. 2 hrs or 3hrs. I got the 3hrs for 180PHP. Quality is low indeed. But better than nothing. I'll be moving to an hotel that does offer reliable wifi after new years as wifi is vital for me. Any suggestions for a hotel located in a nice area of town, girlfriendly, with a pool and free wifi? Price under 50 bucks a night.

Thanks gents.

The Cebu Grand is Ok. There is free Wifi but spotty depending on your room location. I took my laptop to the top floor (7) near the pool. There was a transmitter there and I got good signal. The pool is nice. The place is under construction, the parking lot is a mess. I got my room thru Agoda so it was pretty good value, I think US$57 which included a free buffet breakfast which was also pretty good. It wasn't extravagant but the omlette was made to order with everything. Hung over and bleary-eyed, breakfast and free coffee was a lifesaver.

On the 7th floor I met a guy with a room who was paying the same I was, but his room was Gigantic and had a brand new Widescreen HD tv. I had a 15 year old Sanyo. I think you got to ask the front desk and re-locate to get that deal.

Cebu Grand is one of the oldest hotels in Cebu and is still family run. They are slowly but surely refurbishing every room in the hotel. Last year I got a rate of 1800 php for one of their latest redone rooms. To get a better rate, stop by the sales office (to the right of the front desk) and inquire as to what kind of deal is available.

Golden Prince asking 2000 pesos a night. Wifi I think in GP is extra,

Golden Prince is free internet.

Eddies is now 1200-1500 pesos as met a guy staying there last night

[Wicked Roger]

Seen the Alpa Suites advertising room rates with breakfast f or 2 persons at 2500 pesos a night (massive banner near the Elizabeth hotel) and oppsiate the Elizabeth is the Golden Prince asking 2000 pesos a night. Wifi I think in GP is extra, Alpa npt sure.

Elizabther has 30% promotion until 1o jan (Sinulog prices) so around 3000 pesos net. Wifi is free and is good except a small hiccup and that requires me asking them to reboot etc so the floor has coverage.

Of course for real cheap try Pier Quattro. Around 650 pesos a night a "clean shithole" as described by mayte from the UK who got his via Expedia. It is in a bac part of town (well sort of) , wifi is free and good, and as he pointed out to Putknuf. He room costs as much the charge for wifi in the Marriott. Was an amusing way to look at things.

Diplomat is around 1200-1800 persos per night also as visited it to meet Nail The Wood and Sprtie13 is staying there also

I should have written: US$47 for the Cebu Grand. I had in my mind the Makati Palace, Manila.

Marriott: $90 PLUS taxes for stays of 15 days or more without breakfast buffet.
