General Information

I liked the Marriott so much, it's the only place in Cebu City that I've stayed at. I think I've racked up 70 nights there in the past. It was $56USD/Night, guess it's gone up, but if I were to spend a couple of nights in Cebu, I'd try to pony up the money. After all, I could cut back in Davao and stay at the Apo View for P1,100 I think and Cherry Blossoms in Malate at P1,500 when in MNL.

I loved the breakfast at the Marriott and would check their buffet late afternoon to see if I was going to eat dinner there; if 3 or more of the entrees were interesting, that's where I'd eat. Also, it's a "friendly" place.

X Man, I think I know one of those girls at the Kan Iraq. In certain chat rooms she goes by the nick 'Yummy.'

Your story about the Robinsons counter girl brings up a good point. The last night of a trip isn't for wining and dining and other kinds of foreplay. It's the time to get down to it or move on, especially if an early departure is looming. Now if you're setting her up for a subsequent visit that's another matter...

Holiday Plaza is the name of the place across from there. I've never stayed there either but I've heard good things from people who have. I think the restaurant on top is more like your basic lechon manok place. The girls would probably like it.

Another quirk of the Midtown is the fact that it's popular with church groups. I remember certain Sundays escorting my catch of the previous night downstairs and these matrons in their Sunday best would be crinkling their noses when the elevator doors opened.

Found this report today on the living-in-cebu forum:

"I took a buddy of mine down to Kabatingan (basketball court) last night, and it seemed as though most of the girls were acting very high. My buddy and I observed that many of the girls had needle marks on their arms.

My guess is that the girls are no longer doing alcohol and shabu, but are now doing some other drug or some other form of shabu. Being such a poor area I would also guess that they are also sharing needles. The situation was so scary that my buddy and I just left. I just wanted to warn everyone about our observation. Where there is needle use, there are also highers incidences of AIDS, hepatitus, and many other problems. I have taken many buddys to kabatingan before to give them the "tour" , but I will probably not go again, needle use is just too scary for me."

Sounds really bad, and a little bit sad too since Junquerra offers the cheapest girls in Cebu.

Can anyone confirm the impression given in this report?

Mahku, I don't know what a "basic lechon manok place" is, But I have dined many times at the Holiday Plaza rooftop restaurant. Their food is excellent. I recommend it highly and go there whenever I am in Cebu.

Gentlemen:

Somebody mentioned a basketball court which is close to the notorious outdoor "meatmarket" near the fight, fuck or go for your gun area near Colon Street in Cebu.

My advice is to avoid like the plague (which you may surely cach) the trollops you find there.

Many of them are the oft times fatal "Ahkyat Barko" which literally translated means "Ship hopper" the lowest form of prostitute in the Phils.
Their MO (method of operation) is to have the Badjao boatmen take them out to whatever ship docks in the harbour and sneak aboard and boff all the sailors who are not able to go ashore or dont have papers to do so.

These girls have a high incidence of disease and especially aides and syphyllys to my knowledge as they usually they get it from the seamen from all parts of the world, africa, asia etc.

These bitches are also hand in glove with pirates and smugglers and dope dealers. They often scout out the ships that will be passing through the malacca straits or thru the "backdoor" area of Sulu Tawi Tawi see what cargo they carrry etc and sell the info to the bad guys or are put aboard by the bad guys anyhow for intel. They would think nothing of ripping you off and taking your wallet etc they work with pimps(Bugao) and pimps are always dangerous.

They are prolific in Cebu to my knowledge and a few operate in CDO city and of course they are prevalent in Davao. Lots of disease with these girls....avoid them cheap pussy means aides.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Yes and yes.

You're welcome

I arrived in Cebu on Monday, December 26th. I am staying at the Raja (old Garwood) on Fluente Circle. They really cleaned the place up. I stopped staying there a few years ago because it was getting run down.

A word of caution. I have a habbit of walking from Fluente Circle down to the bars on Mango Ave. I was appoached by a lot of Lady Boys plying their trade. It is a very dangerouls proposition to pick women off the street (sometimes you wind up with something other than a women). Beware

I suggest avoiding Cebu during the Holiday season. All the regular clubs on Mango Ave are terrible. Few women and, in many cases, more men than women in many of the bars. It seems most of the girls go home to the provinces for the holiday. I was told by a number of girs in the Lonestar that the bars will be closed from December 29th to January 2nd.

The Lonestar did have a number of girls, a lot of them told me they came from other clubs to work there. However, the management is very pushy with ladies drinks. The girls approach you in teams, then the waitress shows up about one minute later. Its annoying.

I am not cheap and readily buy a girl a drink, I just don't like being goaded into buying drinks.

The only good spot I found was the Silver Dollar. It has always been one of my favorites. You can sit back and enjoy a beer. No pressure to buy. Met a girl named Sara who was very proficient in the sack.

Again, avoid Cebu during the Holidays, its dead as a door nail.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Cebu Midtown do guest, but the in house massage service was a BIG disappointment. They will only do hand jobs and want 1000 Pesos for it. When I asked for everything, the girls told me the hotels has a strict policy against this and will do checks on the girls should they go all the way. The girls pleaded poverty and begged that I allow them to do a hand job, and they even turned down double or triple the money for sex with a condom. Be a little careful because I found the neighborhood around Cebu Midtown pretty scary at night. Take that Taxi.

it'd been nearly a year since i'd been to cebu (last year's sinulog), so i was looking to returning. a short christmas story:

i usually stay at the marriott (not terribly remarkable, but ok gym, decent location next to ayala mall, and more-or-less reasonable rates).

anyhow, thursday i head out with a local work contact to harem... didn't see anything particularly alluring, so we head over to sunflower, where we had a decent time drinking and dancing, but didn't get hooked-up (a little too busy drinking, i have to admit).

friday night i head over again, and by early am, am talking with a 22 year old from mindanao, but lives in alcoy. she's small, slim and firm - just the way i like them. i invite her and a couple of friends to breakfast, then convince her to come to the hotel with me.

she's very shy, and seemingly pretty nervous... turns out she's a virgin -- a 22 year old vrigin! at first i can't believe it, but it's true. dang, it's been more years than i can remember since i had one of them!

that night, the deed couldn't be completed (jeesus, couldn't even get it in, and she was in pain), but she was pretty receptive to other attentions. the next day, i started slowly, and when she was obviously completely up to speed, start in slowly. it takes a while, and it's not long before she's obviously enjoying it.

every time it gets better and better, to the point it doesn't take much to get her sopping wet and ready to go.

what a christmas present!

I just got back from 3 weeks in the Phils (4 days Boracay, rest Cebu).

While in Cebu, I stayed at the West Gorordio for 1680 pesos in an Executive. Large Room with balcony and bathroom has bathtub, which is a great plus. I was with my filipina GF, so not sure if girl friendly (probably ok, though). Breakfast included (can have it delivered).

Also, try the Mango Park Hotel. Standard room (1200) has two single beds you can push together, Deluxe (1400) has large bed (I think queen). Room not as large, but has pool on roof and breakfast also included. A little friendlier atmosphere. Take the 13c multicab to Ayala for 7 pesos. Also, a KTV bar walking distance, couldn't check out b/c I was with my girl.

I stayed at Dave's Strawhat Inn and Villa Camilla. Both were cheap. Villa Camilla was more expensive around 2500 pesos, had pool and right on beach.

Dave's was homier with nice rooms (smaller though), but a short walk off beach.

Billpsu mentions the Raja (not sure of spelling).

This place just opened Dec 15 and looks beautiful. The lobby is outstanding. Really nice spiral staircase going up all eight floors. I looked at the two cheapest rooms and wasn't particularly impressed. Cheaper ones (about 1900) have no window. The more expensive rooms might be really nice if they took the same care with the rooms as the took with the lobby.

Currently staying at Holiday plaza. 1900 includes buffet breakfast. I really hate the toilet paper dispenser....kind of like in a public toilet. Otherwise I'm happy with the place.

I'm using the Internet cafe in the mall. Good connections, good computer, but very cramped. Anyone have a Net cafe recommendation?

Walk out Holiday Plaza , turn left and walk down Ramos St in southerly direction towards down town direction , turn first bitumen road on right , its called Arlington Ponds , about 150mtrs down Ramos from Holiday. 100mtrs along Arlington and down at end of Arlington you will find McDonalds on your right , however turn left into Osmena Blvd , not right. 1 min walk down Osmena heading once again towards down town southerly , and building on left before hospital is an inconspicious building , enter and youll find an air con internet cafe with lots of space , 'luxury' chairs , run by koreans , including korean female students there from time to time. standard p30 per hour rate. not many people there during day , can be busy at night incl. girls but always enough computers , about 60 in all , at a guess. open 24hrs would you believe.

X man:

Check out any Cafe de France, half way decent food (Baked goods) and all of them have an Inet with decent machines. I used the one in Robinson Plaza, very cnvenient as there were a few wandering ladies hanging around eying up old foreigners, you could get on the inet, chat, have a girl met you at the cafe, size her up during a coffee and decide from there, cheaper too that Untopia, like P25 hr for a web cam
