Having said that, one of the main / large residences among those near Milano (purposely not mentioned here) abruptly stopped me late last year from bringing in a guest. Oddly it was the same guest (lady) who had departed and then returned. I was at the lobby guard to escort her up, but they wouldn't allow her to sign in. I informed the guard that the girl would stay for only 5 minutes. "Sorry po. We have 24 hours rule. When a guest will depart, you must wait 24 hours to bring in another guest". Well, I'd never heard of that before, in fact I'd been bringing in this / that lady, easily 2 (or more) in any 24 hour period, with no problems to that point. Not even the same lady? "Sorry po". Later I checked with the residence Admin and they confirmed the un-announced, unheard of '24-hours' rule (which they later changed / dropped, due to not announcing the rule).
In addition, most owners are woefully unaware of restrictions. They make several errors:
1) They are not aware of the building Admin's restrictions (often times not the owner's fault, the Admin simply makes decisions and then notifies: NOBODY). Owner: "Yes you can bring in your guests as you need". Then the guard stops you, using Admin's policy.
2) The owner makes up his own such restrictions (which he can do), then does not tell the renter about them (which is not allowed on airbnb). When the sh*t hits the fan from the angry airbnb renter regarding the owner's un-announced restriction, airbnb will force the owner to stand down on the issue. If you didn't use airbnb, you might be screwed.
3) The owner thinks the Admin's rules are very strict, when in fact Admin might have no such policy at all. "Our building Admin don't allow any guests. Just you and your registered partner sir". This often turns out to be completely wrong; the Admin has no such policy. I heard this from an owner just a few months ago. BTW, those wrong ideas in the owner's head, they didn't just make that up. It was policy a year or more ago, for 2-ish years, during Covid. Many residences here went to harsh lockdown restrictions, such as: No rentals; or no rentals to anyone over age 59 or under 21; or no outside guests. As covid dropped off the radar many of those restrictions were dropped by Admin, who told: Nobody.
You can protect yourself by calling the Residence / Hotel admin before renting to check guest policy. Also look closely at any such language on airbnb. An owner's failure to mention it on airbnb means you can bring in your guests. Again, call the Residence to check before renting.
One last airbnb owner issue: Three times in the last year, owners insisted that I show them my PP picture page (as ID), and also my most recent inbound PP stamp and my most recent / current / valid BI extension. Either before renting, or before extending my rental for another month.
I'm not aware of any hotels with restrictions at this time.

Posts: 497Dating site!
Dear All, after having a long timer using dating site for my prospect temporary partner in my trip to the Philippines, I found out mostly can be categorized in two portion: 1) girls that really looking for a foreigner husband to be married and thee other one is to go for P4 P. In terms of percentage, base on my experience about 2 : 5 respectively. But normally, ended girls coming to my room a big difference from their pictures posted on the site 🤣128514;128514;.
So I am making it a point to pick girl at la cafe! For freelancer at Robinson? Never have any success in terms of quality!
MD.

Posts: 60Airbnb vs Hotel
Flight to Manila booked for next month, now just to sort out accommodation.
My initial plan was just to book an airbnb near Makati but after reading through some listings it seems getting guests into the building could be an issue, a number of listings outright say no guests allowed in the building.
Is this common and is it enforced? And is a hotel a much better bet than an Airbnb? Will be working remotely while in Manila so prefer an airbnb for desk + wifi but if no guests I'll go hotel.

Posts: 497Manila Soon to start my mongering habit
After more than 3 and half years of COVID19, start to make traveling again and so excited first stop in the Philippines. Have booked Palm hotel, first time to this hotel so not sure how it will be, will report back once by then. Previously I always stay at New World but now they change to another name like new coast something.
Anyway, try to contact some gal at dating site and one quote me Php 7,000 which I think way too high? Much wonder how is the market prices these days with those girls at La Cafe for ST & LT as well as those freelancer in Robinson place?
Will definitely try this time those massage parlors along the side of Robinson in Pedro gil plus those Karoke along Mabini street.
Cheers,
MD.

Bro its a great place to stay. Take the larger room. I have stayed there twice and its amazing. They will not bother you with anything. Only sometimes (depends on how the girl is dressed) may ask for the girls ID. Else no fuss.

Rooms are reasonably priced at the Bellagio (note: the above information is pre- Covid19).

Looks like a great time was had by all.
Why wasn't I invited?? 😜.
Enjoy. G.
P.S. For those with slightly shallower pockets, the 2 bed suites all have jacuzzis but not on that scale.
