Phoenicia now open, but there are no WGs in the rooms.

I'm sure that will change. There is no reason whatsoever anyone would stay in that place if it didn't have WG's.

Thanks for the update. What I find interesting is that although Phoenicia Hotel is supposedly closed for 'renovation', their disco is still open. Why shut the hotel and let them operate both discos? Strange indeed. Or maybe they are on probation for a certain period, who knows. BTW, Mashtan Hotel also closed down at the end of May. Their was some fight between some Saudis and Bahrainis and the cops came and arrested all WG's on the hotel premises. My regular there barely managed to escape by hiding on the roof top until the cops left.

Guys,

According to my information, the reasons for the Ramee closures did not have anything to do with our hobby.

The California was closed before Ramadan due to an altercation between a Saudi prince and a doorman. The prince threw his weight around with the authorities and that was that, the hotel closed. The next stage was that the electricity was turned off and the contents of the freezers then rotted. Rats were seen in the now desertrd lobby and the stench of rotting food caused the neighbours to complain. That place won't be open or fit for habitation in the near future, methinks.

The Ramee International, home of Rockys & Cosmos was apparently closed for serving alcohol during Ramadan. This, the authorities take far more seriously than having a load of tarts on the premisis. Apparently they were serving booze in teapots. This trick has caused a number of venues to close over the years. Some just don't learn.

I have no information at the moment as to why the Phoenicia has closed. They may have been serving booze on room service during Ramadan. That is all it would take.

I still believ that our hobby has not completely died out over here, but the gov't is doing it's best to try to increase tourism on one hand and kick the hotels that are doing their best in the teeth on the other. Strategy, what strategy! HA!

Keep safe.

Expatcat.

It looks like match point is still open.

Thanks Blood Red for the report.

How the staff are thieves? Can you please explain or give example?

As I'm planning to check the same hotel as I can escape from the jail.

Regards.

Beware of the bellboy when he counts the quantity of liquor in your room at the time of check in and make sure it's accurate. Else, the pathetic Indians at the reception will try to charge you for stuff you probably didn't consume.

[Tamercury]

I can confirm that ModTheFrod's report is correct. Both Phoenicia's are closed (Tower and Hotel) for renovation supposedly. I find this very strange cause the cunts that own these hotels are very money minded so it's surprising they are closed at this time, when Ramadan is over. Who knows what's really up. The bellhop told me the disco / club is open at night and suggested to me to stay at the nearby East Coast Hotel, which sucks. I politely declined. I did stay 1 night at Cristal Palace Hotel in Juffair. It is full of Russian and Moroccan sharmutas. Hotel has decent rooms, but staff that are fucking thieves who will try to rip you off every chance they get. So I wouldn't recommend it. The fuckflats are open for business it seems.

This is a report for my last visit to Manama on 5, 6 & 7 July.

5/7 at 11:00 PM.

Headed to Phoenicia as usual but the lights were off and the hotel doors were locked!! A staff member was there who said the hotel is closed for renovation till third week of July at least. According to him, the only running hotel by the same management is Armin Hotel which located in Juffair opposite to Panorama hotel. So, I left the site with big disappointment.

6/7 at 00:00 AM.

Went to Armin Hotel hoping that all the action has moved there but, it turns out that the place have had just opened so no "ladies allowed" as the bellboy said. The hotel is nice and cozy tho which cost 70 BD for a nice 1 Bedroom suite.

6/7 at 01:00 AM.

To Panorama hotel. The last time I have been to this place was like 6-7 years ago where only few hotels were there and the area wasn't developed yet. This place have also had a complete renovation in the reception and lobby area. The rooms are still the same but only with few touch ups. No guests were presents nor chicks, and according to the bellboy that there is no intention of management to have any "ladies" in the hotel for the next 3-4 weeks at least! So right after that I decided to take a break at the lounge / bar which is located at the first floor. I spotted two Moroccan hotties at the bar where they confirmed the hotel management plans. I was trying to negotiate a deal with them but I released that they were the first to meet so I called it off and left the place.

6/7 at 02:30 AM.

Left Panorama hotel looking for a Thai massage (which I thought would be easy to find anywhere in Bahrain) so I headed to Ramee Palace International hotel in Juffair since I have been there couple of times. I didn't read the earlier posts, I don't need to go into details since you know that all Ramee developments are no longer hosting working girls. So I left with really bigger disappointments.

6/7 at 03:00 AM.

I was disparate that I was cruising around Horra area to find any signs of action. Most of the hotels are either down for renovation or closed down. Stopped at one of the furniture apartments just to check for any live action which surprisingly was positive. The place had like 14 ladies from all over the world (Thai, Chinese, Ukrainian, Iraq, Africans and Turkish) so I paid 30 BD just to check them out. It was my shortest stay ever. I think I spend 15 minutes in the room and decided to leave. Hygiene is a must so looking at all of the options, it was not satisfying for me. Also the most beautiful female was like 2/10. While checking out I saw two young Russians (7/10 I would say) arriving by Taxi with big travel bags. The receptionist told me they have just arrived from Moscow! (one of them was pretty, young, slim, about 5'4', and she excited!) but I decided to call it off for the day.

6/7 at 10:00 PM.

Phoenicia apartments. Same as the hotel. Closed for renovation.

7/7 at 10:30 PM.

More traffic on streets and you can actually see the craziness on people's eyes.

Phoenicia Hotel opened the bar, Russian club for public. Hotel rooms are still closed.

Phoenicia apartments opened but with high rates (80 BD for a room). Most of the girls are Thai (4/10).

Went back to that apartment to check that Russian chick but the place was full booked.

A 3 stars hotel (Jabara I think was the name) has a low quality smelled rooms but so many girls with a range of 4's to 7's /10. I met a Brazilian (5/10 look, 9/10 performance) damages were 50 BD for hotel 50 BD for the lady. Followed it by a Thai for a second round with a massage 30 BD.

I'd advise to wait until 3rd week of July since the place is full of Saudis nowadays.

Great first post and welcome to the board. It's disappointing to read so many places are closed now I have the chance to play for a couple of weeks.

Haha, Bahrain is such a funny, hypocritical place. Mashtan Hotel was also shut down for 'prostitution'. Nice joke. They need to shut down 99% of the buildings in Hoora if they are concerned about prostitution, which they clearly aren't, but hey, an eyewash for the public is needed every now and then I suppose.

This is the 2nd Ramee property to be shutdown recently (California was shutdown for prostitution). The main reason they hit Ramee International is because the WGs were so obvious about it in Cosmos, and it's Ramadan.

[Blood Red]

FYI, Ramee International was shutdown for prostitution. The initial period is 7 months.

Which place is better and cheaper for mongering? Bahrain or Dubai?

Which hotel would you suggest in Bahrain. Possible near beach?

Hotel with a beach? Ehmmm. Been to Bahrein before?

I am not saying there aren't, but you better browse a bit the Internet.
