By Phoenixguy on Friday, February 17, 2006 - 10:30 pm: Edit |
I'll be arriving Apr 2 myself. I'll post a cell number once I get into town and get a SIM card. Only going to be in town for 1 week, but I'm sure there will be plenty of barhopping going on.

I am tentatively scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend and then about 9 days around July 4th. Will know more later.

Phoenixguy will try to get a cell phone setup as soon as i get there.Ill give you a call and see if we can get together, first couple of beers are on me
By Phoenixguy on Sunday, February 19, 2006 - 09:27 am: Edit |
Mas, just check in on ClubHombre sometime in the afternoon. I'm arriving very early Apr2, and should have my cell # posted on CH by that afternoon (in the calendar section). There are internet cafes all over AC - you can't help but stumble upon one if you walk around a while.
Just be sure your cell phone is triband and UNLOCKED. Most of the phones you get from US cell phone companies are locked so they only work on their network.

Maybe one of you guys can help me out with a few question i have.How are the rooms and service at the Amsterdam?How much are the barfines in Angeles on average?How is Angeles setup for ATM machines?Many of them around?Is it difficult to cash travelers checks?Went to BKK last year and as much as i used the ATM machine i almost miss it as much as the girls
By Ironeagle on Friday, February 24, 2006 - 06:21 pm: Edit |
"How are the rooms and service at the Amsterdam?"
You can see pictures of the rooms in my November trip-report and on their website. My opinion is that the rooms appear to be of a higher quality then other offerings in the area and at a competitive rate. Some of the rooms have king sized beds, rugs, jacuzzis, oak tables, leather couches, etc. I believe all of them have in-room safes which is a must for obvious reasons.
The main factor for me is that its in the middle of the action. There are some bars right across the street. Now you might ask what is the difference between walking 100 feet or taking a trike to the bars versus a much shorter walk. Well, every step along that walk you will encounter every type of beggar and street vendor known to man several times over. This is a huge annoyance in my opinion so I like being in the middle of the action.
There is no pool, but when I stayed at the Orchid, I never really used the pool. I was either sleeping or having sex. Then when I was by the pool, you get a nice view of some hairy chested 60 year old doing a cannonball or are amongst a crowd of loud Australians chanting at a Rugby game.
The service is excellent, however, the women at the front are Filipino. They understand English well enough, but you have to sometimes confirm that they have understood what you are saying. The Swiss Chalet gets props for having a European answer all the emails and you get prompt answers to all your questions in clear well written English.
You wont go wrong with the Amsterdam, except I recommend not getting any of the first floor rooms. Only rooms on floors 2,3 and 4. Some of the rooms have a window that face outside and, as a result, you might hear some noise. The noise is not a loud roar, but a low din. You might not care, though, if you are pounding away at the ladies. The $35/night rooms appear to be the best deal.
As with any hotel in Angeles City, make reservations at least 2 months in advance. The hotels are always 80-100 percent full at any given time. Last minute arrangements might leave you with the worst room in the entire place or no room at all.
"How much are the barfines in Angeles on average?"
1200 pesos barfine + tip. The women consider 500 pesos to be a "good tip". (52 pesos=1 dollar currently)
This price is for all night long time, however, sometimes the women dont always stay that long. They will sometimes make excuses and run out on you. 99% of the time they will at least give you sex. Its difficult to say the percentage of time they will "run". On my trip in March, I had a few "runners". On my trip in November, I had no "runners".
There have been many philosophies put forward on how to prevent "runners", such as playing the sweet guy routine or offering up more money in hopes they will stay. Some guys believe that no strategy will prevent this occurence. You will have to feel each situation out and develop your own strategies in this regard.
"How is Angeles setup for ATM machines?"
There are many ATMs in different places all over Angeles. My cards have always worked, but Im not sure of the computer network they use so all cards may not work. Im assuming that most major bank cards will work.
Its too hard to describe where all the ATM machines are located. The best advice is to ask the hotel staff when you get there. Personally, I just take cash and hide it all over me.
I believe its riskier using an ATM machine then carrying cash on you. The reason is that this would be a likely fixed target for crooks.

>99% of the time they will at least give you sex
Unless you don't realize AC has boatloads of cherry girls (and a first timer might not). You gotta remember to ask about THAT!
By Bigballs on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 03:34 am: Edit |
I should be in AC next Wednesday for a few days before I go to the US. Puerto Galera, well, what can I say, it's by far my favorate place in PI, but then again, having the best looking girl helps too, ha ha.

By Phoenixguy on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 09:55 am: Edit |
And I forgot to mention you need to ask if they're menstruating. Another AC "gotcha" seldom encountered in other locales.
By Gregorio on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 12:58 pm: Edit |
Wow, the barfines are now 1700 total???? Seems like not so long ago 1000 LT all inclusive was the order of the day. WTF happened?

hunterman started going.... :-)
By Porker on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 07:36 pm: Edit |
From what I've seen/heard, DM pukes more pesos than Hunterman...
By Ironeagle on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 05:40 pm: Edit |
Gregorio,
It seems like the price has risen a lot, but it only has risen slightly. You have to take into consideration the devaluation of the peso. Go to this link and it will make more sense. In the year 2000, the peso was at 40 pesos=1 dollar. Now its at 52 pesos=1 dollar

I will be in AC the 2nd of May about noon, probably just overnight, maybe two. Then I'm back to my little island, Biliran. Will be making monthy Cebu runs.
Phowa, send me a text or call. This will be my first visit to AC in a year without my girl in tow, shhhh.

I an going to AC for the first time in september and looking for someone that can take some time and show me around a little .
By Ironeagle on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 05:59 pm: Edit |
All you need to do is check into the hotel, walk across the street and there will be plenty of women who will be glad to show you around.
By Phoenixguy on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 07:34 pm: Edit |
When you going? I'm likely to be back there the first week of Sept. But IE is correct - check into any of the hotels recommended here (Central Park is my personal fave) and you won't be able to walk out the door without being propositioned. After sundown - just walk toward the neon lights.
Once you get there, AC really is the simplest mongering destination on the planet. Just be sure to ask if a girl is cherry or menstruating before bar fining - that's something you don't usually have to deal with in other places.
By Mongerx on Thursday, July 06, 2006 - 11:03 pm: Edit |
I will be in AC around Sept. 22-30. If your dates overlap shoot me a PM and we can try and hook up. AC is real easy but there are still some fun to be had off the usual obvious well beaten path.
By Mongerx on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 09:37 pm: Edit |
I have decided to come to AC for a short trip July 28 - Aug 3. If you want to meet up drop me a PM.

MX
I thought you were all hung up on China and burned out on AC.
Missin those sweet lil pinays eh ??
By Mongerx on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 10:32 pm: Edit |
Hehe, I always love the sweet Pinays. It's the bar and party experience that is kind of drifting away from my budget and preference. As I have said I think the talent in AC is better than I have ever seen. Plus how could I pass on the opportunity to hang with Porker. Now I won't be the cheapest guy in the bar! Plus I am probably deluding myself that I have shaken off most of the MX regulars and I will be back to the old days of running rampant through lots of new girls.
Also, I had my wingmen back out of my trip to China at the same period. So I decided to swap my Sept. AC trip for one to China. It looks like I will be doing AC and China trips on alternating months for the fall.
So it looks like AC in one the every other month rotation with China, while Jakarta remains strongly entrenched in the monthly rotation.
I look forward to seeing you in Oct.

I'm planning a trip to AC for the new years. This will be my cherry trip and the reports here have helped me plan alot of it and even helped me make a buget of sorts. Now I'm just looking for someone to hang with while I'm there. It can get a bit boring if your just soloing the whole time. I plan on staying about 10 days and figure that it will be butt wild in AC at that time.
I've been to the PI a few other times but almost all of it spent in Cebu. There was one other thing I was interested in and thats that girl Mara. The last report that i read she was at Nifty's but had moved on so if anyone knows if she's at another bar or just left all together plz post it. I won't have a cell phone while there but will be staying at the Orchid Inn. Also any other recommendations or advice would be great.
So if your going to be in AC during the New Years lets hook up and rip it up. Later all
By Phoenixguy on Sunday, August 13, 2006 - 08:39 am: Edit |
I was in AC last New Years and will hopefully be there for the coming New Years as well. In any case - you need not worry - you won't find yourself alone for long in that town. As for trying to track down one specific girl...I'm betting you'll forget all about her about 15 minutes after hitting town.
By Khun_mor on Sunday, August 13, 2006 - 03:06 pm: Edit |

Mara scored an ATM boyfriend and is no longer in the game , at least as of July. These things change fast in AC however . Stay tuned for updates.

Hey guys me and my brother are leaving on a trip to Lapu-Lapu philippines in november. Can youall tell me some good bars to go to. Also I don't understand the barfines,and don't know what fields and perimeters are. Please help.
By Khun_mor on Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 08:14 pm: Edit |
UMMMM
Field's and Perimeter are nowhere near Lapu Lapu.
I believe that's a city on the island of Cebu not Luzon - a trike is not going to get you to AC.
If you do ever get to AC Fields is the street where the "higher class" go gos are . Perimeter is just the extension of Field's Av outside of town. All one street.
Barfines are a fixed amount of money paid to the bar and include payment to the bar and payment to the girl to compensate her and the bar for leaving work early. Anything else that happens is between two consenting adults and need not necessarily cost you any more money.
Enjoy -- but WTF is in Lapu Lapu that draws you there if you know nothing about the Phils ??
By Bigballs on Thursday, August 31, 2006 - 09:55 pm: Edit |
Hmmm, maybe his bro fell in love with a chat girl from Cebu? Never fails to meet at least one guy that is going to meet his virtual fiance' on every trip. Most never even heard of the bar scene in PI. Yes, I do my best to educate the poor bastards, but some men you just can't reach.
