General Information

Those seeking something a little different maybe interested in an American girl girl working here. OK she's not exactly the tall blond type, she's infact a 40kg half Filipina who was born in Guam and thus (according to her) has a US passport. She just dropped by with her friend tryinmg to score some snacks and i offered to try and drum up some biz for her. She hangs around with Filipina friend who is now 7 months pregnant despite being only 17 and having a BF in jail (conjugal visits). The US girl has a couple of tattoos and a nose piercing but a very cute petite body and (if scrubbed up a little) a rather beautiful face. Quite sensibly IMHO she is only available for short time "regular" sex with a condom at 500P a go. Her English is actually pretty good and she's quite smart. I don't really understand why she has gone down the route she has but there you are. PM me if you are interested in contact details. They are "from the wrong side of the tracks" so it would be advisable nopt to leave cash or valuable around if you decide to meet her

[QUOTE=Mbsl65]Lots of women in Cebu and more willing than Manila and Angeles City.

Good times[/QUOTE]MBSL, Star, concur. Usually in the past when I was in Cebu its been with a gf for a few days. Cebu is definitely different than Manila. I was very surprised at how the girls there were so willing to just chat me up looking for a quick score, much more so than Manila (except for Harrison's there). Can't wait to get back now.

I am thinking of staying at the Sarrosa International Hotel for a few days as the price online is 1900P per day and the rooms are nice and the hotel seems fairly new. I have never stayed here and it is newly listed on the hotel booking websites.

It is located at F. Cabahug st. Cor. Pres. Quirino Ayala Access road, Mabolo. I know this is out of the way from Mango and I am ok with that. The money I save on staying at one of the bigger hotels like Parklane, Crown Regency Fuente or Waterfront will more than make up for the money I will spend in taxis. Has anyone stayed here before, what is the area around the hotel like? Comments?

I am looking for a good hotel that is clean, had a queen sized bed and is GF friendly. Any other suggestions? I also plan to stay at the Diplomat, Mango Park and maybe even the Grand Prix Econotel to check them out.

Jackson, is it possible to create a seperate "Cebu Hotels" thread, thanks.

[QUOTE=X Man]Liza's in the 'manpark' area of Mandaue enjoyed their 10th anniversary party. Roast pig, pig blood extraveganza, turkey, fish, etc... EWR is 1500. This is the place that is tricky to get to, but worth the effort.

Pussycats formerly known as Stars and even before that known as Exotic has transformed as others have noted earlier. If you remember the old place and layout, you can't help notice how the circle stage was cut right in half. I'll never forget sitting opposite of some bloke who was getting serviced at his seat. About alls I could see was his smiling face and her head bobbing up and down. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if the gal sitting next to me hadn't told me.

Temptation seems to be the bar of choice for the koreans now. They even did a few of their stupid lineups right there in the bar. Four guys...lined up at least twenty gals....some girls fidget, some try to fade into the background, but most seem eager to be selected. In the end, no one was chosen. Duh.

Silver Dollar has no A/c, still trying to pull it together after their fire. The place they opened up near Stripes bar has apparently closed. I nominate Stripes as the place that most deserves to close / burn / whatever. Bad vibes.

I still haven't had time to see if the St. Moritz bar is still going. Hope so.

X Man[/QUOTE]Way beyond EXPECTATIONS? I am referring to the middle of the 2nd paragraph here, where the guy is being "Serviced" at his seat. I have RTFF for more than two months now and going back into a lot of old reports, but I didn't know how much "Contact" was allowed with the dancers while you are "Out in the open" at the club. So here is my question If I went to a club that has dancers, how much hugging, kissing, touching is allowed, as long as I keep buying ladies drinks for the girl?

Consider the Cebu Grand Hotel on North Escario St. It is not far from Mango Avenue. Also, there is 3 gogo bars nearby. Stripes, Blue Angels and the new Silver Dollar 2.

I'm curious myself about Grand Prix Econo hotel. It is in a good location right at the corner of Mango and F. Ramos Rd. No windows though in the rooms.

the Grand Prix is an OK hotel but the rooms will seem claustrophobic after a day or two as dont have windows. The rooms / furnishings are reasonably new and functional. Its a reasonably choice if you have a night or two in Cebu and want somewhere near Robinsons that is clean and newish .

Last month I was told the new Silver Dollar 2 had already closed, and therefore I didn't even look for it. I'm not in Cebu at the moment, so can someone confirm?

I like Blue Angels, but I find the talent hit and miss...mostly miss. Stripes...best to experience it yourself, but I've gotten bad vibes both times I went there.

I just got an email from a friend who is in Cebu right now and he mentioned that barfine in the gogo's is 1700P and then the girls want another 1500P in the morning. I have limited experience in the PI, 8 days in Manilla in 2000, but the extra 1500P didn't sound right to me, so I did some quick RTFF here and it seems to me that the going rate is 1700P barfine, and the girl gets 1000P of that, and that guys tip between 0-500P, but it is up to them. I just want to make sure that I got this right before emailing him to let him know what the deal is.

Thanks in advance and normally I would do some more research, but I want to get back to him quickly in case he is getting ripped off.

It was open in July. I frequent the Lavada Queen right next door, and to me SD2 looked like a quickly thrown together place due to the generator fire that happened in the original Silver Dollar location. I did not go inside but it was reported here to be closed soon after.

[quote]I like Blue Angels, but I find the talent hit and miss...mostly miss.[/quote]
I went bar hopping with a girl in tow one night to check out the gogo's on Escario, and I liked Blue Angels but the talent was not very good. Mostly late twenties with kids and no spinners anywhere.

[quote]Stripes best to experience it yourself, but I've gotten bad vibes both times I went there.[/QUOTE]
I agree about the bad vibes at this bar. I found the place very small and the talent looked bored and seems more into chatting with each other. With the super small stage, and only one dancer at a time, it was not a good vibe. I asked one of the three bartenders what the barfine was and she had this deer in the healights look. Never did get an answer. I do not think I will return any time soon.

Just wondering if anyone has checked out the original Silver Dollar on Osmena Boul. recently, is it still running on a portable generator? I checked out this place three times in July and it was going downhill fast. The quality girls left soon after the fire, leaving only the older girls and the place is a mess with a billion cockroaches running around. Go there in the evening and sit where Chris and John have there little metal names placed on the bar, and look on the floor or on the bar, and it will be crawling with roaches. The only reason to go here is the cheap and cold SML.

I haven't stayed in the Sarrosa Hotel but know people that have and it is fine, good value.

A short taxi ride from Ayala and a pretty good location to be honest.

These bars are just a few blocks up the street from the Mango Square bars/discos (where the young locals hang out for live band). About 5 bars all right next to each other next to an intersection. Vikings, Sister's, etc. Across the street is a large white church (Iglesia Ni Christo, see pic) and several more gogos with dancing girls. On the Viking/Sister's side, the barfine was p1700 in each bar. The only exception was that in the one next to Sister's, it was an extra p1000 (p2700) if you took a girl before 11pm? 1am? Can't remember the exact time. Almost pulled a stunner from there one night till they tried to tack on the extra 1000. I was a bit steamed as the girl said p1700, the mama said 1700, and during the drink the girl said she was desperate for a barfine, would do anything I wanted, and stay not only till 10am as I asked, but all afternoon if I wanted. I told her to go get dressed and send the mama over for payment. They both came back and said p2700, sorry sir we forgot to mention early extra payment. C-ya.

One of the girls I pulled was from Vikings. P1700 was the barfine. Sessioned once in the evening and morning, and I gave the girl p100 the next morning for taxi after we had breakfast, about 10: 30am. She never said spit about a tip, and asked me to barfine her again that night. I did return to Vikings the second night, she was all over me, preventing me from getting another girl, so I left after one drink. No tip is needed unless you are feeling generous.

At Sister's bar, a few doors down from Vikings, I took a young spinner, p1700 again. We left the bar around 10: 30, hit Sunflower disco and caught some live band and a nightcap before heading back to the hotel. Good session, but no tip, she ran early, leaving after we went to sleep, sneaking out at 3:30am. Had agreed in the bar to stay till 10am. Story on this runner later. While she was changing clothes in the bar (out of her bikini), I asked the mama if a tip was necessary in the morning. "Up to you sir, if you like. " Just that. I did not plan to tip her more than the 100 as usual.

At one point I went across the street from Vikings to check out the bars there, they are very close to the church. Nice place, small, about 10 girls. Two were chatting me up (no LD), and quoted p3000 for the barfine. C-ya, have to get back across the street hun.

I've had 6-7 girls now from the Mango/Vikings side of the street in the last year. So far:

1 runner recently as mentioned.

2 stayed much later. One just hung with me till about 4pm. One went to the beach with me, stayed till about 5pm (very happy girl).

The rest stayed until 10am as asked.

Tip is always p100 for taxi. In the case of the girls who stayed longer, tip also 100 for taxi, but also breakfast, lunch, starbucks in the afternoon. I would say this about your friend: its possible the girls are just asking for the tip IN THE MORNING. Just say no; tell them they should have discussed it in the bar before leaving. If your normal tip for good service is p300, give them that. Pinay are good at making cano feel guilty. Stick to it. If the girl mentions she wants a p1500 tip while you are chatting her in the bar (like they do on P Burgos St in Makati), you are obligated to give it to her the next day. But I have yet to have a Mango/Vikings girl mention a tip, for anything. I would hazard a guess that the girls at the high-priced place across the street by the church do this regularly (maybe that's where this big-tip thing is coming from).

There was a TV station in the hotel that was playing advertisements repeatedly, and SD had a commercial. Mention the commercial to the bartender on your first visit, and your first drink was free. So I took the taxi there. What a dump. There was a fire previously? Its the one not far from the large Crowne Regency hotel? Its dark, skinny, hot (evap cooler and fans, not air con). 4 working girls inside, 2 chatting each other, one walking around, one danced a bit. They were all 5-7 scale quality, even in the dark. Finally the walker sat with me. There was only myself and one other customer. Neither of the two bartenders bothered to come take my drink order. I asked the girl if she could get me a san mig. She did, the bartender brought it and put the bill in front of me. I asked if it was free, since it was my first time there and saw the commercial. He asked me to pay for it right then, and said my second drink would be free. Jeez he didn't even wait till I was done drinking to collect the total. I paid, and was ready to walk as soon as the drink was gone. It was so hot I was feeling the need for fresh air. I asked the girl chatting me how much the barfine was, I think she said 3000-something (last part unintelligible, the music was loud). I said, "Three thousand what? " She nodded her head yes. Didn't bother finishing the beer. Gone.

I did a quick trip to Mango Ave. couple nights ago.

Drinks: p80-100

Ladies drinks p150-200

I went to almost every bar and Vikings looks the best. However, too many Korean and Japanese customers. Girls told me that they prefer them since they spent money like no tomorrow. Americans like myself come after them. I have noticed that girls flirt with the asian tourists first.
