I was in Cebu for 8 days between November 7th and 19th, plus 4 days in Cagayan de Oro where I was meeting a girl I met on the web. I don't have anything to report on Cagayan since I was with the net girl almost all the time.
Hotels in Cebu: First I stayed in the Marriot. It was 3300 per night with breakfast. The main advantage here is it's walking distance to Ayala and a short taxi ride to SM, Sunflower Disco and the clubs around Fuente Osmena. There's a good gym but the pool's a little lackluster, like a Motel 6 pool or something. There's no problem here bring back girls at any hour.
The last 3 days I stayed at the Waterfront Lahug. 3100 with breakfast. This is considered the best hotel in town. But there are some disappointments: aircon wasn't working very well, no coffee making facilities, things in the room generally threadbare. Also they make you pay 200 to use the gym. I've rarely had to pay to use a gym anywhere in the world if I was a guest. The pool was very nice. I had no problem bringing girls back, but the time was always before 10 pm. It might be a different story in the wee hours. Maybe somebody else has experience. Location is a little farther from most things. Sunflower Disco is practically next door however. And across the street are a group of restaurants and ordinary bars that look good for meeting non-pros.
In Cebu I was also quite busy with girls from the web. But I still had plenty of time to get out on my own. I got to most of the usual uptown bars: Firehouse, Silver Dollar and all the bars around Black Hole. Every bar I went to had the best selection of girls (for my taste!) of any of my recent trips. There were several girls in each place that had good attitudes and personality plus petite, firm bodies. Bar fines were 600 to 700 and the girl usually got around 1000 for short time or 1500 all night. Some bars like Dimples have a bar fine of 2000 that's supposed to include the girl's fee also. I didn't actually take from there so I didn't see how well this works. Black Hole does have a few attitude queens and girls that only want Asians. But even excluding them there is plenty to choose from.
I think quality was better at this time because the college semester was just starting so girls needed money for class. Also, Christmas being just around the corner is helping. I think it really pays to find out when school is starting and time your visits accordingly.
As usual there's plenty of eye contact from girls in the mall. Unfortunately I was always already accompanied when I was there. Do be careful if you're hitting on salesgirls in SM department store. Security is on the lookout for horndog foreigners. An American friend of mine said they're even using security cameras to catch guys hitting on girls. If you're interested in someone try leaving a business card with your phone number on it.
One last thing: A sunset trip to Tops with a bottle of wine does wonders to loosen up 'nice' girls. Also try walking back from the top down to the main road to catch a ride back to town. This stretch of road, about 1 km or so, is dark and spooky and will have her hanging on your arm.
