Angeles City

[QUOTE=Bob Down]There is enough info on hotels in this thread, but as HG says beeline has a good website with all the info that is being requested. Price, distance from action and best way to get around at night.

But I did find they were a bit slow responding to my emails. These days I only stay at Pacific Breeze.[/QUOTE]

Do not trust Beeline's recs on hotels. They still list Europhil and it is not a safe place to stay. Guests (one I know personally) have lost very valuable things there including large amount of cash. The employees are in on it.

[QUOTE=Key Master]If you are looking at that price level, you might want to try places like Hana Hotel and Sunset Gardens just outside of the main bar area of Fields in the beginning of Perimeter. You can walk it during the day, but probably take Jeepneys or trkes back at night. Most hotels have some type of pickup service or use one of the main travel agent servicers for that. The fastest way is getting picked up and the more costly way at something over $50 for 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive or so. Buses not at airport have to take taxi to terminal or a hotel like Swagman for Fly the Bus there. If you are new, the regular buses might not be an option yet versus a Fly The Bus option.[/QUOTE]

The regular buses are fine and there are quite a few of us on this board that have used them, even on our first trip. They leave Pasay around every half hour or so and go to Dau for less than 200 pesos. Dau is a short tryke ride to Fields area. The tryke driver will take you through back streets, so don't be concerned.

I have looked at the website of Beeline Travel and Tourism Services. They recommend 25 hotels in AC-Europhil Hotel is not mentioned. As I see it, the travel agent recommends a hotel in good faith and cannot be held responsible for the dishonest actions of some of the hotel's employees. IMHO.

Take care, be kind.

Man PI is a third world country simple as that. Before I bought my house there all the hotels I stayed in either there or Thailand was top of the line. I know some guys are on a tight budget but then you have guys just wanting to save money who slum it in a flea bag then complain when things go astray. That place or hotel is your rest haven, your sanctuary pick a nice secure place to lay your head so you can focus on your vacation and not on if your wallet is going to grow legs.

[QUOTE=LukeSkyWanker]Thanks Amavida for superfast response I will be landing at 17:00hrs on the Saturday 12th April so I expect traffic to be bad. Would it be a better option to spend that night in Manila? I would prefer to go direct to AC and get settled but I assume I will be travelling in the dark and from the forum I believe it is 2 hours drive.

May the force be with you.[/QUOTE]
I'd go straight there, if you're hiring a car. You could be in a bar by 8:30 if you're lucky, 9:30 if you're not. Some say the stunners are gone by then, but there's no guarantee you'd get what you want in Manila, either. And I don't agree with those who say the stunners are all gone by then, anyway. LaPasha was overpacked with beauties at about that time this past Saturday, and Paradise and Gecko's had quite a few as well. I'm sure other bars had plenty also, but I'd found what I was looking for by that point.

Hi firewalker well before I decided to respond, I like Wazza88 decided to look at Beeline again and as Wazza says Europhil was not on their list of hotels.

I have never booked a hotel through Beeline as I said before they were a bit slow responding to my emails. But it is a starting point for Newbies looking for a place to stay, in their price range.

[QUOTE=Sagramore]There is a new bus service that leaves the Southern Cross hotel in Manila and takes you to the Brass Knob hotel in Angeles. Leaves 10am from Manila and departs 1pm from Angeles.

I have not had a chance to ride it yet but I have seen the bus and it is a new unit. Price is 550 peso ( around 14 usd)[/quote]Sagramore,

Have you stay at southern cross hotel before looking for a low cost hotel for a few night in may look at the map is very near L A cafe in Malate but 14 usd one way to AC is kind of high Phil rabbit is only 120 peso one way .

I'd been with one of them before, so I assumed they knew what was on the menu. After a swim, a meal, and a soak in the jacuzzi, they left. Once I started taking pictures, one of them realized I was about to do something like this, so she offered to stay. Too little, too late. I had to threaten to call security to get her to leave.

Hi Rob, Im not sure what you're saying here mate :)
You said they both left, then you say you had to get security to get 'her' to leave. Huh?
I've never had girls leave early from Doll's house or any other bar for that matter.. I wonder what went wrong?
Better luck next time.

What I mean is they both WANTED to leave at first, but changed her mind when she realized she'd screwed up. After the swim, and lunch, and a jacuzzi soak, they started putting on their makeup to head out. They could tell I was angry, so they offered to stay until 6:15. I said, what time is it now? 6:02. So I took their pictures. I think one of them realized I was going to use the picture to tattle on her on the interwebs, so she offered to stay. Well I was pissed off by this point and wanted to get on to better things, so I told her to leave. She wasn't going to leave, so I threatened to call security.

On the surface I suppose it seems contradictory to complain, because in the end one of the two did offer to stay--but it took a lot of pressure for her to offer. It shouldn't be that hard to get laid. There are thousands of other (far hotter) girls that are perfectly willing to stay and make a fellow happy. In fact I found one at Voodoo the next day and we had a nice afternoon.

Bummer man, I'd be pissed to!
Thanks for having the forethought of posting their mugshots, I really appreciate it. I'm a Doll house patron so I will avoid them if I come across them. In fact I will let the mamasan know of their reputation!
What are their working names?

Glad to hear you found something better elsewhere Rob.
Cheers

The one with the heavy makeup is Angie, or Angela, or Alicia, or something like that. I can't remember. She's a waitress, but loves to get up and shake her ass with the dancers once in a while. That's what caught my attention. She looks like she's having a good time. It's a trap!

I was far less angry about the pesos than I was that I wasted nearly half a day of my valuable vacation time. I had a great week after that though, so I got over it, hah!

I have stayed at the Southern Cross.

It is a low cost, hotel, targeted at the budget conscious monger. Great location, rooms are OK, recent fitout, so everything works.

Good value for money. gf.

And the owner is generally there, so you have recourse if you are not happy.

My only problem was that my internet booking did not register on their system, so when I got there it was just by luck that there was a spare room.

So check your booking by phone.

Bar is very homely, good atmosphere. Food is OK, reasonable price and quality.

I came to Angeles for 36 hours, while on my way to Cebu.

Honnestly my frist impression isn't a good one. For those who have been mongering in BKK, at least it's a city, there are attractions. Angeles is nothing but a dump with bar filled with girls.

I arrived in the middle of the afternoon so most places were closed, except for the Doll House. I checked it. Honnestly the line up is very poor and three girls rushed to try to get me to barfine them! Problem is, I wouldn't fuck them even if they paid me

Compare to Thai girls, this is very poor.

Even for those who actually fuck in AC, let's say for 2 hours a day, what is there to do to occupy the remaining 22 hours

No seaside, no sight seeing, no malls like Siam Paragon.

God I'm bored.

Hopefully tonight I'll find some Ph. Girl that will cheer me up!

Can someone who has been to places like BKK explain me what's so great in his opinion about Angeles City? Are the girls providing special services that aren't on the menu in BKK? Are they all stellar in bed? I mean I need to understand, if all of you come here there must be a reason.

Where exactly is southern cross hotel? My many travels to ac I never seen it and how much is it a night.
