Davao

Guys,

Earlier this week I purchased my flight to the Philippines. Surprised at how much the flight now costs. I will be in Davao for a few days this month. Most likely fly in solo as my lovely "bi" lady is here. I told her to dropp her lesbian friend as I will be doing ALL the pussy licking for her. Told her I will be fucking her 3-4 times daily. She sounded excited.

I need to find a hotel. Does anyone have a Report on the recently opened Hotel here in Davao? I will not stay at Apoview again as I mentioned how it has dramatically changed since Wolfgang's departure as the GM. Please update me now on the new Hotel.

Dragon Slayer[/QUOTE]I am not sure which new hotel you are referring to, the park inn by radison behind the sm lanang mall was previously reported on by Barba and goodenough. You can check out the orchard hotel on google, search orchard hotel davao. I doubt is has any international cafe etc as it is a budget hotel.

Brothel or Hotel? The Marco Polo Davao needs to decide which it is. My wife and I recently spent 18 days at the Marco Polo. We were very pleased with the hotel facilities and staff. In many ways the Marco Polo is the first class hotel it claims to be. But the hotel has accommodated the rampant matchmaking and sex tourism industries of the Philippines. As a result the hotel is anything but family friendly. Everywhere there are men interacting with women who are clearly paid for their services like the five women boisterously frolicking in the pool with two Caucasian men, another Caucasian man slapping a scantily clad woman's derriere in the hallway and a Swedish man in the elevator who openly expressed his enjoyment of sex tourism while in Davao.

My wife and I discussed our concerns regarding the exploitation of women at the hotel with Anthony Tan, the new General Manager and he told us he is aware of the situation and will try to take steps to move the matchmaking activities off site and minimize the presence of prostitutes in the Marco Polo Davao. We suggested that a statement opposing sex trafficking be posted in the hotel as is often done in other Asian countries. We certainly won't return to the Marco Polo Hotel unless we know that they support the respectful treatment of women. Until that time, I would recommend other families to be very cautious about staying at the Marco Polo as well.

So what is the solution? Ban just Swedes, or all Caucasian males? Or all men, and Filipinas?

Ban the Philippines from the itinerary of these family tourists who want's to tell the world how to live. Send them to Pattaya and show them another way it is done. This kind of people wants to dictate how people lives everywhere.

I suspect Anthony Tan knows exactly who pays his salary. And if not, people will just move on and Anthony Tan can hope that the occasional western moral police spends like never before, because the occasional family tourist will not be sufficient to prevent MP to go right down the drain.

I think the Filipinas in question were probably treated with a great deal of respect by their 'dates' or else they wouldn't be having such a good time "boisterously frolicking in the pool." You won't hear those girls complaining. The sentiment expressed by the uptight morally correct, I am assuming female guest personifies what is wrong in the West. Of course it is ok for her children to run around, make a lot a noise in the pool area, and disturb the other guests. That's ok, but we must not ruffle her politically correct feathers. Maybe she knows that if her husband were let off that tight leash she has him on, he might be tempted by a bit of fresh Filipina honey too.

PC out[/QUOTE]Wake up "Pcpc1688". If you read the heading in bold type it says "I read the following review of the Marco Polo on trip advisor". This is not the view of Wjmpsr or his moralist wife (LOL!). Marco Polo gets regular mention in this and the Davao forum on the main board. Wjmpsr was just providing the viewpoint of a couple who were not amused at Filipina boisterously frolicking in what they call a non family friendly hotel. Most hotels in the Philippines are very guest friendly; to all guests.

You are right, I was simply sharing a review I read online. I had seen complaint about how girls were treated at the apo view and I have some fear that the politically correct stance might spread.

[QUOTE=Wjmpsr;1429543]Brothel or Hotel?[/QUOTE]Maybe the poster is trying to indirectly inform mongers, that is the place to go. Is there a spa on the premises? Lot more people read Tripadvisor than ISG. I'll be taking my family and kid to this place for sure at my next visit to the Philippines-LOL.

Is it possible to post without getting flamed?

[QUOTE=Wjmpsr;1430952]Is it possible to post without getting flamed?[/QUOTE]Don't worry about it. Many of the guys writing on the thread didn't do very well in reading comprehension. Thus, they overlooked the fact that you were merely quoting the words of a reviewer. Maybe Jackson could create a pre-test for reading comprehension the passing of which would be a prerequisite for membership.

[QUOTE=Wjmpsr;1430952]Is it possible to post without getting flamed?[/QUOTE]Of course it is, but some people misread what is posted (as GE pointed out) and jump in boots and all.

As an aside for you and others who might see Trip Advisor as a bible of sorts, you have to remember that when you quote a Trip Advisor review you are sometimes quoting a review that has been submitted by either someone bribed to do it, a business competitor or by somebody linked to an opposition hotel who is trying to score points against the competitor.

Twice now I have had a restaurant owner (in Laos) and a hotel front manager (in Sydney) tell me that if I submit a favorable review of my experiences on Trip Advisor they will offer me a 20% and a 10% discount voucher respectively on my next visit subject to me referencing the review when I return. I was very happy to do so for the restaurant and retrieved my bonus on the next evening; not so happy about the hotel.

My point is simply that although many reviews on Trip Advisor are genuine, you have to wonder what is going on when a really bad review suddenly pops up in the midst of a string of favorable ones. These bad ones are usually questionable.

I prefer to read reviews of any place that range between excellent, good, not so bad and terrible, because at least you are getting a sense that most places offer different experiences for everyone which is what you generally expect in most large establishments.

I live in Davao and was thinking about taking my wife to a hotel for a night. So I did a google search for "Marco Polo Davao Reviews" and up popped the review in question. My reason for posting it was based on the apparent policy change at the Apo View regarding "girl friendly", recent anti [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908][CodeWord908][/url] documentaries, etc, the arrest of 48 street walkers outside of the Banko Sentral last October. I am relatively new to Davao and perhaps naive, but my gut tells me a change is coming.

[QUOTE=Wjmpsr;1431026]I . the arrest of 48 street walkers outside of the Banko Sentral last October. I am relatively new to Davao and perhaps naive, but my gut tells me a change is coming.[/QUOTE]I've now lived here for more than ten years, and I've been a witness to the seismic changes that have swept this city, mainly in terms of economic expansion, but also in the apparent huge increase in the expatriate population. Wjmpsr may be correct in his intimations of a tightening up of the P4p scene here. On the other hand, Davao has never had a huge commercial sex industry, and periodic street walker sweeps have recurred throughout the duration of my time here. My guess is that, in the continual quest to attract more investments, the politicians want the image of the city to be that of a "serious" business friendly place that's safe and clean. Thus, it would not surprise me if the clubs, KTVs and other commercial sex venues were largely left alone, but the street hookers, being rather more conspicuous, were discouraged.
