[QUOTE=Stroker Ace88]You will see a yellow sticker on the windshield that says "Actual Fair plus 10 Pesos". This is a good rule of thumb to use for taxi's in Cebu and I usually tip them the standard 10 pesos tip.[/QUOTE]Actually, that refers to when the gas prices went sky high last year. Instead of recalibrating the meters, they just added a 10 php surcharge. Since the prices have dropped, they no longer enforce this surcharge.
Anyone know if there are local brothels (like the ones in Indonesia or Cambodia), where all they do is let you in a small house, choose gal ,go to small room, f**k her, pay a small price and leave.
Note: I'm not talking about sauna, health clubs or Massage places where they try to pretend to do a little more but charges alot more for the "suppose" extra services.
Any info on this topic, can either PM me or post.
Thanks

Hello Mongers!
I have got some business in Cebu a couple of days in early March. Tried to explore the forum (with limited success) for an advice to a smooth, classy ad clean hotel where I can meet business partners AND be close to the action. Of course it needs to be chica friendly. Marco Polo seems a bit out from where one wants to be, or am I wrong? I have got superb advices earlier by Sxxx amongst others, but this was for hotels a notch below what I need for this short visit. I also got advice about Jetsetter and Waterfront, but do not know which is adviceable in terms of location? Since it is only 2-3 nights the price range is not so important. Would be great if I can use Hotels.com or AsiaRooms.com for reservation since this normally means a better rate, but at least in Davao this limits the number of hotel option to almost nothing.
I understood from the RODs that Viking bar or Silver Dollar is a good start, or rather end for a full night out in Cebu. I am not used to those bars at all, since the Davao scene is totally different but I'll give it a try. Any other advice where to find a pretty girl for the night? Don't mind at all to work a bit to find a woman that didn't suck 1000 meters of dick before me, that week, i.e. to go to a regular bar/club/disco before desperation drives me to the strip clubs. I of course have a couple of prospects on the chat, but with only very few days in the City this can be a bit of a gamble. X-Man posted a good map that I will print as well, so I'd say that as always after doing the homework on ISG I am stuck with to many bar options.
Also interested in a good massage place if everything else fails. Is the place named Finland any good or is it mostly old skanks in that place?
Grateful for any help.
Regards Barba

OK, thanks for the updated info, but if I am not mistaken the taxi's in Cebu run on LPG? I did however notice that some taxi's had the yellow sticker and some did not and I just figured the 10php was a standard charge.
IMHO I would still tip the 10php though on any fair over 100php as 10php = 25cents or less depending on your Countries conversion. Under 100php I usually tip around 5php.

I prefer the Marriott as next to Ayala and business like and for it was great for mongering. Nowehere is really far away and certainly I got to Vikings et al easily enough, taxis are cheap, and SM Mall is close (taxi).
You could try Parklane Hotel, not been there but heard good reports, also close to Ayala though. MP is nice but can be a bit out but as I said taxis are cheap. Waterfront I am not keen on but others like it and it is close (ish)
Hoteltravel is what I use and currently Parklane is $78 per night compared with much higher for the others.
Hope this helps
Waterfront will do. Nice pool. Beautiful lobby. Rooms have had mixed reviews.
There is also a nice hotel right next to Ayala mall -- I think Mariott is the name.
Boderline option would be Midtown Hotel which is right on the circle of the bar map I made.

I almost forgot, a newer hotel is the Crown Regency. It is the tallest building in Cebu. I've never stayed there, so can't recommend it.

Good advice X Man, it is the Marriott as I have stayed there before and easy to walk to Ayala sit at Bo's Coffee Shop and watch some pussy go by A nice hotel
Try Parklane (am there was a FR on this a while back or maybe it was teh new hotel X says but RTFF and you will find). But both Marriott and Parklane are nice. Midtown for me is a dump but then each to his own and his budget is different.

I stayed at the Crown Regency in October. Very nice and you can get a decent price at asiarooms.com
[QUOTE=Emale]Do a search for casa's but you will have to do take out[/QUOTE]
Actually, did read back over 9months and did a brief search but not much info about this so just have to ask instead.

Thanks for the info on the hotels amigos. I think I'll try the Marriot or Parklane. Or maybe Crown R. A new hotel each night maybe is good so the ladies do not stalk me.
Anyone in town that would like to have a drink or a wingman are welcome to PM me.
Cheers Barba!

I am staying there tonight for 3 nights...but will have my steady little Flipper with me, so no chance to to go out with bros and have fun. Still, I like to watch the scene. You can't miss us, the middle aged professorial type with the girl who's as tall as a pool cue hahaha...
I report on the hotel when I get back to HK.
Mabuhay!

Well I tried Casa Gate 3 for the first time after reading reports here and on the advice of the cabbies. My most recent cabbie told me that the girls at Casa will provide good service (won't leave early) and are cleaner. He also said that the girls at Honquera are not clean, have diseases, and don't provide good service. In my opinion I think the opposite maybe true, although I think reports in this forum tend to corroborate the cabbie. Well after visiting Gate 3, I thought the casa girls looked pretty hard core with plenty of mileage whereas I was expecting girls similar to in the discos, considering the amount of money that you have to pay.
I admit it's only one time and possibly many girls had returned home for the new year so the selection could be better at another time, but I don't think I'll be trying Gate 3 again anytime soon. The pimp wasn't friendly at all and was kind of rude to the cabbie, asking him to hurry as he was taking a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] as we were leaving. He tried to get me to pay 3000peso but I stuck with 2500 as that is what my cabbie originally told me. I was in the bright pink room with about 20 girls but few were any better than a 6. I picked the best looking girl (7.5) but as many of you know, good looks many times equals bad service, but not always. In this case, the girl named Hazel (maybe 20yo) even told me in the hotel room once we entered my hotel room that her service wasn't good. Not a good sign at all.
Hazel had a great slim bod but her face was kind of squished and made her look older. She was basicly a scam artist, obviously coached by other girls at the Casa. She basicly said she had only been with one other guy and was basicly still had a virgin pussy and tits. She was definitely inexperienced but only because I'm guessing she doesn't actually do the deed with customers. She kept complaining that my little soldier was "too big". She kept saying that it hurt and to "stop" even before I even entered her. Yes she said the 4-letter word that guys dread, and this was in the Diplomat which has pretty thin doors and walls. Even though I tried many times, I never actually fully entered her. I laugh every time guys in this forum actually believe how much bigger they are than other guys, especially asian guys. If a girl says this and your penis isn't the size of a baseball bat, then it's a pretty good bet that she's just playing you for the fool and scamming you.
After 3 hrs of just playing around and trying to teach her how to give a BJ, which was quite frustrating as she required a condom but kept gagging on it, I finally gave up and she gave me a disappointing HJ. I told her to leave after that and actually she wanted to stay so was kind of put off that I kicked her out. I'm really nice to the girls so that was out of character, but definitely she deserved worse. I warned her that the game she was playing was dangerous. Eventually she's going to run into a guy that won't be as nice as me and would be really upset after paying 2500 and getting nothing but frustration.
Due to my extremely limited experience with casas, I'm not disputing other guys' reports on how good casas are but I think it's not for me. The pimp at the casa really put me off and I felt kind of threatened too. You can find some young, cute girls at Honquera for 1500-2000pesos (plus optional tip), who don't have fake personalities. You can pay much less but I'm really picky and don't mind paying extra. They don't complain and provide good service. I also have had good luck with 4000peso girls at discos. The price is high but you can really find some high class girls that provide more than just a f*** if they like you. The Honquera girls on the other hand are strictly business-like I think.
I might try a different casa than gate 3 but I'm not aware of where they are. The cabbie mentioned that he knew of more but as I keep learning over and over again, you can't trust most cab drivers. I did find one in Cebu that was great but I lost his phone number. Damn. He even gave me some knockoff viagara for free but I think it didn't work well for me.
Here's a story that may be interesting for some. Filipinos are really friendly people and have a good soul in general. I got to know an armed security guard at a disco and he offered to take me to find girls that were a lot cheaper than at the disco (i.e. Honquera). He was kind of a simpleton and I didn't really need his help but actually it worked out OK. He didn't bring his gun with him (thank god) but he accompanied me on some trips. Of course he was mainly in it for the money but it was kind of nice having him with me, instead of just the cabbie. He never tried to scam me and never asked for a tip or to be paid but of course I tipped him well. I stayed safe in my cab as he herded up the girls and negotiated the payment. I think I would gave him 500peso to pay the cabbie so maybe he had 400peso left for himself. I can't remember how much he was getting paid by the disco but it was really small so 400peso was a lot to him. I think he did get free housing though from his job.
Sometimes I actually felt bothered by him because he kind of latched onto me. It happens sometimes so it's a good idea to have multiple SIMs else you'll get SMS's all the time.
I probably was taking some risk since he could have turned out to be a bad guy, but I figured it was minimal since he was working at the disco and I had his mobile number. I'm also a fairly good judge of character but again you never know.
I tried to SMS him recently though and he didn't respond. He wasn't at work too so I guess he must have moved on. I wish him and his family well.
