Cebu Hotels

[QUOTE=MauiDude; 1134058]Very bad expierence there

Do I blame the hotel or the girl.

Girl from bar no I'd. They refused to let her in.

I had reserved room for two.

Came in at night with girl and they were very hostile and unfriendly.

Not allowed to come in and some goon followed us around to make sure I did not try to sneak her in.

She said she had no identification with her.

So I guess they are both fucked and I did not get fucked by her in the right way.

Okay so I got to check the girl for I'd before I take her from the bar and make sure the. [/QUOTE]To Maui dude.

I stay at the North Wind hotel last yr down to st from the Waterfront nice clean room for 34 USD a night good location next to Sunflower and cross the st from the village, short taxi ride to mango bar st very friendly staff and is up to you to check girl I'd in the front desk and they will contact you when the girl leave to make sure everything is ok.

I am planning a trip to Cebu in May. I have read where The Waterfront Hotel is highly recommended. I usually book through Expedia and they Show two Waterfront hotels-The Airport and Cebu City. Which one are you guys talking about? Also, from the travelers review, it looks like Cebu City is better, but I want to make sure.

I have been to Manila years ago and had a good time mainly because I was married to a filipina and her relatives showed me around. I wanted to try another part of the PI that wasn't so congested. From the reports, Cebu looks like a city I would enjoy. I do speak Tagalog (I know they speak Cebuano) so how much english is spoken?

Also, I know this is a long shot, but I wouldn't mind meeting a nurse there to take back. Of course, I would take several trips to know her. Anyone knows of a hospital nearby? When I visited BKK, the nurses told me they were happy living there, because they got a good pay raise and it is a nice place to live. I am "guessing" the nurses in Cebu may want to come to the states, so I will at least give it a try.

Thanks for any advice and comments.

mauidude.

although i am not an experienced cebu monger yet, a few question come to mind. first of all, the i'd issue. you might have been lucky that the security guard was on the ball. **** scams are obviously alive and well in cebu. also, what are the chances the girl was known be the hotel staff as being a trouble maker? anyway, i'm checking into the waterfront for one night. i'll be direct with the front desk about my intensions and quiz them about there policy regarding my gf visitations. i'll report my research data to you fellas.

Before 10 there is no I'd check since hunderets of people go in and out. After 10 they might check.

But as long as they have I'd I never had a problem. And when I was outside having a smoke late at night there were taxis with guys and girls coming one after another. All the girls checked in, no problems. Also some girls were at the breakfast buffet. So if you stick to the I'd rules, no problem.

And the reaction of security to girls late at night that people have talked about recently depends heavily on the girl's appearance. If she's in stiletto heels and micro-mini and looks obviously like a bargirl you'll get more hassle than if she looks like your girlfriend / wife on a night out.

Thanks guys for the heads up, I would have been hating the trip had I checked into the wrong hotel. I probably would have chosen the airport, because of the closeness to the airport.

I joined a website called blossoms. Com, it is also known as cherry blossoms from the old days. I am getting a lot of e-mails from women in Cebu. I was on blossoms last year, but changed my mind about going to the PI. I met a really nice woman on there that I wish I still had contact. I guess it doesn't matter, I have so many responses, I have to figure out who I want to meet. Of course, I am also getting a lot of mail from other parts of the country.

You know, this is paradise, when you can you get so much attention from women-beautiful women. I went to Thailand last month and loved the place. I would not live there because the weather is too hot and rainy. I don't think I would move to Cebu, at least they can speak english-and I know some Tagalog.

I have read the reports about living in Cebu, and the other parts as well. I don't think there is a perfect place to live-that isn't boring. I don't think I would want to live there, I don't want to be the odd man out. When I went to Manila, I would get a lot of looks, but then again, I was doing a lot of looking too!

If I were retired, I would be based in the US and just travel to foreign countries and leave when my visa expired and spend time in another country. I love the Caribbean as well and have wanted to move there, but I think its better to "visit" foreign countries.

I retired an moved here two years ago, I live on less than half my pension here. Last year I 'visited' Thailand (twice) , Germany, Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, and the USA (twice). I could not have traveled like that living on a pension and based in the land of the over regulated, taxed and controlled!

Radisson Blu

Just booked the Raddison Blu for 70Euro a night which I believe is a great deal. However, I had to book it Single otherwise it would have been 85Euro. Anyone can comfirm if it would cause a problem to bring a girl inside or not since I made a booking in Sgl?

It has been 15 years since I went to Cebu prior and hope I made a good choice in terms of location.

Asianatic, if that rate includes breakfast, I imagine that the price difference is just that, the added breakfast cost for your guest. I can't imagine that they will give you a hard time if you bring a girl to your room. Let us know.

Just booked an incredible deal with the Waterfront for 7 nights in July for less than $90 US Dollars per night including breakfast for two. I checked out AsiaRooms. Com and found that the rates they were quoting for an identical week was more than double the price.

I have stayed at the Waterfront several times in the past, it is my preferred choice of hotels in Cebu City if I decide to indulge in a little luxury and this is by far the best deal I have ever had there.

[/QUOTE]I got a similar deal to you late last year Mort but mine was for 3300 php per night nett) (around $80) and just for a 2-day short trip. I got mine by calling the hotel direct and asking for the sales manager and then asked her for their best deal for a local resident (I am an expat living in Manila).

Deals like this are great to find at Waterfront but they are not always there. Sometimes they are fully-booked with a convention and rates are top level but if you can arrange to stay there when the rates are lower then grab it.

It is my preferred hotel in Cebu now too. Close enough to Ayala Mall; next door to Sunflower Disco and just a short taxi ride to Mango bars or Silver Dollar.

Yes I agree it is also my number 1 preferred choice when in Cebu City, though I am fond of the Monteobello and its sister hotel the Cebu Grande. The Waterfront reminds me of the few times (many years ago) that I spent in Las Vegas, some of the Vegas hotels as I remember were very similar. I will spend a week there, then a week in Mindanao and then hoping to try a completely new area to explore for my last week of mischief before returning back to Cebu.

It is not my intention to agitate anyone here at ISG, but I would not stay at the Waterfront. First of all, what does it tell you when a hotel not near the water calls itself the Waterfront? What does it tell you when a dog has to sniff your crotch when you enter the lobby. It tells me that Filipino hotshots go there / stay there, and that creates certain risks.

It has a nice pool and a good breakfast buffet according to some. (I found the service excuciating slow at the omellet fryer)

X[/QUOTE]X Man I am not in the least agitated. I think hotels are comparable to the way we like to choose our women, we all have our own preferences and considerations. For me the Waterfront ticks most of my boxes and for what I am paying in July, (less than $90 per night) you would be hard pressed to find similar levels of comfort and quality anywhere else in Cebu at that price

I will be going to Cebu with a wingman in June and have a few questions.

1) Are the take out bars like Red Lips, Pussycats, Sisters near Mango Square and is Julianna's a place to find FLs?

2) I'm looking at either Waterfront Lahug or Parklane easily accessible to these bars?

3) Which has nicer, more modern rooms- Waterfront or Parklane? Parklane costs about US$65 and Waterfront is US$80. I'm assuming both are GF.

4) Does anybody know of hotels of similar quality to the two I mentioned that has connecting rooms?

Thanks for any info the experts here can provide.
