Yella Man[/QUOTE]I stayed their last year, not high class but a decent hotel, not noisy.

They have a good dinner place and also room service.

I did'nt liked the breakfast and switched after a while to golden peak hotel.

But breakfast was same level as grand hotel.

Staying at the best monger hotel in Cebu from tomorrow, not flash but ok.

The kiwilodge in Tudtud st in Mobolo. Ten mins walk to SM and plenty of taxis going past.

Wanted to bring my gf from Manila but she decided not to becos of threats from my ex wife. So im here alone.

News first

Pres. GMA has awarded Asean policital meetings to the cities of Cebu, Mandaue and lapulapu this coming December instead of Manila, So prob would avoid travelling to Cebu early december.

The old Cebu Plaza hotel is reopening as A Marco Polo. Metrobank inherited the property when the Cebu Plaza defaulted on the loan.

There is a large resort reopening on Mactan and another about to get under way which will be either managed by Hyatt, Hotel Intercon or Shererton.

The hotel behind the SM is finally dead as a Sherarton but SM management will try to get it reopened after they finish there asiamall project in Manila. They are looking for a new hotel chain to manage anmd operate the hotel.

(Personally I would love to see Hyatt in Cebu - heres wishing)

Asia Village is now closed and undergoing renovations. Wonder what willopen in its place.

Noticed a coupleof new hotels along Selenas Drive, Northwinds hotel and Crowne Gardens.

I'm staying at the Kiwi Lodge in Molbolo and they now have wifi in the restaurant/bar area and will supply guests with login code so that is a great inducement to stay there in the future and rooms are only 1k-1.2k per night.

BAR HOPPING:

First night went to Love City, SMB 60P and ladydrinks 300P, place is not very exciting and the girls dont smile. Next went to Lonestar and was greeted like a ole friend when i walked in. Barfines a girl who was prob a 7 on looks with other girls there but what a great attitude. She wanted me to barfine her again and she would bring another girl so we could both lick her puke out. My sort of girl but in a trip of reporting decided to try something new. Lonestar SMB 50P and Ladydrinks 135P.
Also checked out Blackhole where there was some party in progressed so didnt stay and went to the bar nextdoor where nobody was interested in getting to know me.
2nd night now. IT was raining quite heavy so ended up at Silver Dollar around 5.30PM. SMB 35P during happy hour and Ladydrinks 100P. During happy hour there really isnt much talent but got entertained by 3 GRO's on a 4-5 reicter scale. As they were only GRO's they only got paid 60P per day so instead of buying them lady drinks gave them 100P each. They really appreciated it as they never got paid on Tuesday night as it was really quiet (they said).

Went to hotel for a sleep and went to Sunflower disco around 11.30pm. I had my meal there and timed it badly as there was a Thurs nite ladies nite show around midnite. So no dance floor action at least for an hour which minimised my chances. Funny when I bought my GF here last time I got lots of looks from FLancers but this time by myself and no one is trying to hit on me. Decided to cut my losses and head to Mango Ave.

As I get to where the taxis wait outside this woman with another more sexy girl asks wether they can come to my hotel and give massage for 500p. I decline immediatly but she works on me. I think the younger girl has promise as i dont want 2 freelancers in my room at the same time with expensive electronics lying around everywhere, so give older woman who now claims she is mamasan 500p for supposed barfine. Take D back to room who warmed up a bit more once we got in the room. Once she gets her kit off she has a flawless and very beautiful body, The service was very nice but no kissing or BJ offered. When finished she asked for taximoney. I thought she meant pay her for her service so gave her 1000P. I think she was shocked as this one could of been almost a freebie. Dont know, something strange going on here.

She slept with me for 2 hours then went home. Her friend rang up (mamasan) and offered herself as a sex sandwich. hmmmm.

But Mamasan never showed up at the hotel.

Now D wants to meet me today but i want to check the bars out along Mango tonight. Guys Should I drill her again or look for some new bait?

Decisions to make. Last night tonight.

I was just speaking to the owner of Kiwi Lodge, and he told me to tell all my friends to book first if coming to Cebu, as in the next month all moderate cost accomodation is sold out.

Not sure if he also meant higher end accomodation.

Actually preferably a nice hotel near the beach that WILL allow you to take girls back no problem!

Thanks,

WW

Asiafloyd, did he say why? I don't mean to question anyone's integrity, but isn't that what a hotelier WOULD tell you. I can't remember how many hotels I did a walk-in (checking prices) and was told that there was only one room left.

I was under the impression that March is low season. Does anyone know something I don't?

X[/QUOTE]X With all due respect When do you think Philippine Elementary,High School and College Students start their Summer Holiday???The Hotelier is on the level,Cheers

Thanks CL, I assume you mean that many Filipinos will be traveling during this period and therefore booking rooms will be more difficult.

Hmmmm, I wonder how many would stay at KiwiLodge...

Anyway, I'll be in Cebu next week. Maybe we can meet up.

[QUOTE=X Man]Wanderlust is spot on about the ladies. I can't agree with him on the Mango though. It's a good hotel, but inconveniently located.

From Midtown you can walk less than five minutes to: bars, numerous restaurants, conv. stores (water), pirated DVDs, fruit sellers, laundry, shopping mall (in same building), coffee shop, Internet cafe,etc.

From Mango you'll need a taxi for these things. (Yes some of these services are provided by the hotel at twice the normal price.)

BTW, If anyone is going to Manila, I recommend you take a look at my Paco Park Oasis Hotel (ppoh) review, which includes photos of the rooms. You won't be disappointed.

X-man,

I was assuming that a guy WOULD take taxis. I never walk. Not because of safety but because I'm always in such a damn hurry.

And taxis here are as cheap as any other place on earth. I mean what's one dollar to 1.5? Walking is great if you have some free time.

[QUOTE=Cebu Local]The girls at the massage parlor of Crown Regency Davao are not that great though,6-7 if your luckymostly 5-6 though.Does Mactan have a Wild orchid branch???[/QUOTE]

I'm glad someone else said that. I know people have made a big deal out of that message parlor in the past on here. For that reason I figured it MUST be a GREAT place. When I go with a girl from a bar it's always a GF experience.

At the current Crown Reg my first I lucked out. There were more unattractive girls than I've seen at other bars with the exception of silver dollar and bar that is behind Papion. Lot of chunky girls.

2nd time I was really surprised. It was sometime in the afternoon and I don't think there was 1 that was a 7. It's far out of the city, and I taxi way out there and after taking a hard look walked out.

The 3rd time I did get pretty lucky. There was a 7-8 who was new working there so wasn't hardened and it was more GF.

Actually, that girls something of a female monger, whatever that means, and I ended up getting together with her out of work and she was up for a fuck 24-7.

First, didn't see it here, but there were quite a few raids about a month ago. One of Mama Sans is on trial with punishment of "life in jail" or so my bar-girl girlfriend (I don't visit her in the bar) says.

More importantly, on 2 nights over the past 2 weeks the bars won't allow bar-fines! What are all the guys doing in there buying ladies drinks with no take outs! what a tease. I actually paid a bar-fine for a "new in town" girl from Bantayan (to go with her for the 2nd time) and she had to meet me at a parking lot 1 KM away. Funny as shit. Fealt like a drug deal. She told me that 2 guys in the bars people thought were cops....where indeed...These busts are happening from MPs from manila.

Other peice of news is a large-ish bar opened around the corner from viking. I asked the waitress if they have bar-fines, she said yes, and I bought a beer. 2 minutes later as I was checking out the scene she came back and said no bar-fines because of all the cops looking around to bust.

if you are here on vacation I feel sorry for you. The bar scene may not be an option. I'm going out tonight for first time in a week and I'll see.

Oh, and other small peice of news, the Federal State of Emergency seems to effect people I know here about as much as the weather forcast. No one ever follows the weather forcast and don't really give a flying fuck. The weather will do what it will do. The corrupt fucks in Manila will ruin peoples lives as they have since People Power 20 years ago.

Cheers
