I'm not dead set on the best western, so far I'm hearing mixed things, though it sounds like its still pretty nice if they give you a good room. I just don't want to get ripped off and have the place booked for my whole stay already.

Once its closer to the date I will let you know for sure where I'm going to stay.

Thanks for all your help!

PS, if you can get me one of their good rooms for 25/night I will probably stay there. If that works out I'd be willing to buy you a drink if you're in the area :)

Planning to be in Manila in July to have my teeth fixed!

Should be about a 10 day stay.

Would it be too much to ask of you seasoned mongers to suggest some 'must do's' for my first visit?

Also, anyone recommend a good dentist?

Thanks.

"Must do's" in Manila. Uhhh.... girls would be my first choice.

Also (at the risk of sounding way too glib) Bangkok is a much better choice for dental work. I can recommend a place there.

FD,

Thai teeth better than Manila? - how come.

I assumed Manila would be better than Bangkok because most Flips speak English - a pre-requisite for anyone sticking a drill in my mouth.

Re: girls - I plan to f**k as much as my dentist allows - just looking for a newbies guide i.e. best part of town, is walking better than cabs, best bars etc.

Appreciate your (and anyone elses) thoughts on the matter.

Thanks - Plum

Pattaya is OK too

Hi guys,

Heading to Boracay for the first week in May. Would be grateful if some of you could recommend some hotels.

Whats the action like over there. Is it easy to get pick up?

Have a few girls from Yahoo wanting to go there with me but to be honest dont fancy being stuck for a week with the same girl. Would far prefer to sample a few different delights when in Boracay! What are the chances of that over there.......?

Thanks,

WW

True the Philippines has good dentists,Unfortunately the best ones are NOT in the Philippines,They are working overseas and only those who cannot work abroad are around,The loss rate is about 30% yearly out of each graduating class.But you maybe lucky to find one who stayed behind,

Guys I would like to apologize If my mailbox is frequently full But I am processing 10-15 requests for travel advice and or hotel discounts daily,That is why I am frequently delayed in my replies.I can give you hotels at the Travel agent rate mostly in Cebu and Makati,Manila only But can give advice on the Philippines,SE Asia and China.I dont earn a dime on these since I do the bookings at cost basis or Travel agent rate or at my cost.Hope this clarifies delays and Mailbox being frequently full.

Any help would be appreciated as I am planning a trip to the RP in April arriving on a Monday nite late and leaving the following Sunday morning and would be interested in hotels near the action areas of Manila and Makati as I want to experience everything from FLs of the malls, to the LA Cafe. as well as take in a fishbowl location. I have visited the Philippines two years ago on a business trip but this one is strictly for mongering. I have read all the reports on this site for the past year and have thought about switching hotels throughout my week to experience the different areas and have some funds as not to have to take the cheapest accomodations. Thanks for any advice.

WW[/QUOTE]Would recommend Friday's for a quieter part of the beach... and for being in the middle of things, probably The Regent.

Definitely bring your own gals, not much going on there. I lucked out (not knowing this myself beforehand) and brought two lovelies there from Manila.

WW[/QUOTE]WW,

The girls originally came from Edsa a long time ago, but now I just call them when I'm coming to town- no bar fine that way. If I remember correctly Manila to Caticlan r/t air fare on SEAIR is about $90 pp in Friday's package. Friday's has a booking office in Salcedo Village in Makati- makes it very easy. Can't speak for the Regent being girl friendly, but I imagine it is. Friday's= no problem whatsoever. At Friday's your comings and goings are fairly private because you have your own villa and entrance.

PM me if you want specifics.

You'll enjoy Boracay- we're going back January 07, (and Cebu is our next destination in early June 06- our first time there).

Does anyone have any info on Laguna? I am looking for a place not too far from Manila to take my honey for a day or two.

WW[/QUOTE]I was there with a girl from Cebu for 4 days in November. Stayed at Dave's Strawhat and and enjoyed it. The rooms were nice and girlfriendly and off the beaten track.

From what I saw, not much action. You may try the waitresses, though at the dance club near Station 1. A little noisy, though, to talk to them.

If you can change plans, I think a week there is too long.

Don't spend a lot on rooms!

Listen to the other guys and BYOB.
