General Information

[QUOTE=AussieOverboard]I always use AsiaTravel and have never had a propblem, when I have changed dates etc they have responded to my emails almost immediatly and made the updates no problems at all. Normally their prices are much better than direct from the hotels but am not sure about Parklane.

Have you stayed there before? I ask becasue a friend of mine did back in Aug and quickly changed to another hotel. Not because Parklane was bad but because there was never much going on around Ayala.[/QUOTE][b]AussieOverboard[/b]

No this will be my first trip to the Philippines. My travel dates are right after the Sinulog festival and alot of the other hotels looked booked up on the asiatravel website. Thanks for the heads-up on the lack of activity in that location, hopefully alot of action will be within the room.

I have seen so-so reviews on tripadvisor, but since it was near the Ayala mall and close to shopping with my FH freebie it will be ok for a few days until some of the other Hotels have cleared out.

Thanks for the tip to book the club level, do you remember what type of room you stayed in? I see the nice Boutique rooms are fully booked for early in my stay.

SH, sorry I missed you while I was in Cebu. I went to SunFlwr one night and half expected to see you there.

I will check today and post tomorrow. I know it was on the 9th floor. My last stay I booked two rooms, attached, and I was on the 6th floor. Big difference.

I will be in Cebu for a trade show at the Waterfront Cebu Hotel.

Does anyone recommend this hotel or any other hotels nearby that you would recomend?

The lobby is magnificent, the casino is in the hotel, lots of women hang out in the lobby, has good eating at their overpriced restaurants. Rooms starting to wear out..close by is the Marriott at Ayala-can walk to ayala mall and some action. Depends on your taste. If you want to be in the center of Cebu city, then Midtown Hotel located over Robinson's mall or Holiday Plaza is best. Can read the forum for more choices.

Mr H,

Please don't quote me on this but I am sure someone told me theres a new hotel just opened several weeks ago on Fuente Osmena? Midtown is decent, but Marriott wins hands down as its a stones-throw from Ayala.

I checked the website and it was a corner room, but I had to book the club level.

I flew into Cebu last week from Clark. I arrived late (midnight) due to flight delays. I booked the Days Inn hotel, due to short 6 hour layover. When I arrived the bellhop who took me to my room asked if I wanted a girl. Due to the hour and early wake up call, I told him yes, if she could arrive in 15 minutes and she is maganda. About 20 minutes later, I got a knock and in walked a 21 year old, 5' 5" maganda Chinese Filipina. I asked for ID and she asked why. I told her that I didn't know her and wanted to ensure she was legal. She gave me her U of Cebu ID card. 2000P and she stayed until I checked out and she was awesome. Said that she was in college and only worked when she needed money.

So, if a bellhop offers you company, it may be a good thing.

Your are correct, a new hotel next to Midtown did open about 6 months ago, I visited it while staying at the Midtown, but is too "sterile" for me. Midtown has more "character", and for me anyways, much better positioned than the Marriott. It is still a hike to the ayala mall, whereas Robinson is just downstairs, and at night one can walk to Silver Dollar, Volvo, Black Hole, etc.
But, I have stayed at the Marriott and they do have much better rooms than Midtown, so you other guys, try a few nights at each and see which you like better..good thing we don't all stay "inn" the same place.

Are you guys talking about the Crown Regency? If that is the case, that hotel opened over a year ago.

I'm sure that is what they are referring to. While it may have been open over a year ago, there was still quite a bit of construction going on when I was there six months ago. Six months ago posted rate was $80, in Dec it was $100.

It is the tallest building in Cebu city, possibily the tallest outside of Makati. On the top they have some kind of outside sky seats that go on rails around the building and tilt just in case you aren't already scared shtless. Cost seemed high, but I don't remember what it was.

I wasn't interested, but it would probably be worth a spin if you had a date with a chat lady.

I am at the Crown Regency right now, using the free wifi in the lobby. Supposed to be free in-room wifi but I just could not get the dang thing to work. Connection issues once again. I put my Trojans over the USB cable and inserted it in the port like some techy dude on the internet told me to do so I could have an extra safe firewall, but all I heard was someone laughing in the next room and whispering "UCLA kicks ass" over and over again. Kidding.

I'm booked in a Tower1 deluxe room the past three days ($65US-Night) and it's a nice comfy room, marble bathroom, free buffet breakfast for two, small fridge, very good views, good location right next door to Silver Dollar and a one minute walk to Robinsons at the Osmena Circle. The only downside is no in-room safe and dirty filthy windows no matter what floor you look out of, but I did not book this place to look out the windows all day long.

I will move tomorrow into Tower2 and a Corner Suite room ($70US-Night) because I only booked my first three nights in advance just in case this hotel turned out to be a dump. It's not.

I have stayed hooked up with a FH freebie cutie all week, and tomorrow I will cut her loose and test the waters to see if I can land a non-pro freebie on the ground here. Hmmm, I am not sure that can be done in a few hours, I get alot of smiles and looks but since I'm new in the RP I have not learned what each look means yet. Just in case I have Silver Dollar next door and I noticed on the way to the Citibank near Ayala Mall the string of Black Hole and other bars all in a neat row. My other FH connections will show up this weekend, and I kick myself for booking them close together but I'm sure one will back out and I will deal with having two tampo girls on my hands if they both want to stay in my room.

Pretty sure this hotel will provide a nice Walk Of Shame for anyone who stayes here, but who cares, as long as the gal is not a starfish it will be worth it.

Has anyone been to the Silver Dollar recently and can report on quality control and price issues? I will most likey be there on Friday night to see for myself what's going on but it would be good to have a little intel in advance.

Sorry if this isn't up to date, but historically that place isn't the greatest for eye candy. I think best places are usually Vikings and the other two bars next to it, somewhere past Black Hole on same side of street within walking.

Thanks for a price update Stroker. I suspected their posted walk-in rate was inflated. Have you been up top? Is there a restaurant or bar up there? From the back side (looking from Holiday plaza on Ramos) I see a sign that says "...club".

Key master is right about the bars. Considering what you are paying for your room, you can well afford one of the stunners out of Viking. It's wise to bar hop early. I've seen stunners one night and then came back the next day to pay barfine, but she'd taken the "day off". Probably off to Panglao with some DOM like myself. I like to drink and am a procrastinator -- which somtimes means that around 1am I find myself settling for something less than I could have had.

As of early January, Dimples had some really nice ladies. One was just 18 and was the sweetest thing. I never barfined her though. In the past I've hated Dimples because the volume was too high to talk. It's still a bit too high, but it's better than before. An interesting thing about Dimples / Papillon is that you can move to the other bar without walking outside.
