Yes please make sure you have a room before touchdown..... my last trip there was weekend last minute decision and I had to spend more than 3 hrs going from hotel to hotel to find an available room..... and it was the off-peak season and very very wet weather.

I have 3 trips there coming up the next couple of months and I have confirmed my hotel reservations oredi....... must be kiasu from now onwards

agree with your post 100%, bro! but not with the signature hahaha!

most hotels in ac don't require a deposit for reservations so no harm at all to book first.

Only downside they have no pool but it's a steal for that price right on fields I think.had stayed many times on walkabout balcony room opposite and saw many Korean in and out of Bangkok hotel.

Bangkok as pointed out is a bit racist coz it is opened by Korean with his Pinoy wife. Used to have a fantastic massage centre there with damn good Spa facility till they tear it down and convert to a bar..WTF rite?

The room is really small if compared to the one I have at Royal Amsterday. Passable la. But for the price and location, nothing to complain. The front desk girl is cute and very friendly too! (maybe I can speak a bit tagalog here and there) so I manage to get her attention most time. But then the Koreans turn me off big time when I am in AC.

If I ever go AC again in future, I will go during weekday to avoid crashing with the Koreans coming for their weekend R&R from the shipyard at Subic. Nowaday, I prefer to go Manila where the quality is better (cost more though) or meet up with the ex-pub girls who used to work in Tanjong Pagar or try my luck dating girls in DIA. The investment in TP Pubs last time somehow paid off once in a while in Manila. heee

hahaha: Victory Liner and Philippine Rabbit ..

Ask whoever with you to drop you in the Tarlac Bus stand ...

And .. it is just a stone throw from Angeles anyway ..

you can negotiate about 2,000 peso if you want taxi .. bus is about 90 peso, if I remember my time, I came from Baguio to Tarlac, ran to AC to collect something .. to head back to Manila ..

Same shit for bus from Manila, Philippine rabbit to Dau is 90 peso or 120 ? (I took Fly the bus all other time) fly the bus is 600 peso, and taxi (yes, I did take a taxi from AC to Manila, as I had to meet up somebody urgently .. ) cost me 3,000 peso, fixed by the travel agency just near the Atlantis opposite side the row of trikes .. in one of the row of agencies .. driver never asked a peso more .. proper system, and no grumbling when caught up in Manila jam ..

Abang Steve: I envy you .. I could only date a receptionist from ABC, never had enough pera to book myself in there ..

Spicy - even Phoenix- tell them, or you will get mild, and their super spicy is lame compared to what you get here .. so fret not ...

Another suggestion - if you are craving for Spicy stuff ..

Head to Mustafa, pick up the pre-cooked food, and about 2$ a pack for biryani, curry, and a lot more .. .. all you need is to microwave it .. !!!

My GF is hooked on spicy things, and she needs a dozen of the packs, when somebody is heading to Manila

Spicy food I recommend thaibaht restaurant on perimeter just next to candy bar.not really authentical compare to thailand but that's the best thaifood I can find in ac.the menu is suitable for our Asian taste bud just tell the server to inform the chef(thailady boss)cook it for khun Thai spicyness instead of farang ang mo and u might find yourself blowing fire later.

Tequila reef off real street on fields serve good mexican food.jalapeño and hot sauce dishes makes my barfine jump later and complain her pussy is on fire.

Cheers

No bro....it's abt SGD $ 170 for a room with own bar & striptease pole dancing bar in it......
ok bro tks for the info

there's some nice restaurants, cafes opposite the pagcor casino. tried mr frosty for pinoy food. very gd, large portions. p800 for about 4 dishes for 4 pax. it's next to marlim mansion.

fortune hongkong seafood was another.

swagman hotel has a restaurant tat has decent asian - pinoy, thai, indian - & western. very hot wait staff too!

all these places are in the Diamond sub-division. 3-5 mins by trike fm Fields. P50 if you're alone.

there's also a spa next to the gym. p250 for 1-hr clean massage. i had a male masseuse. no complains!

other than that i had my chow at SM Mall. food court at the back on level 1 and plenty of restaurants serving anything u can dream of.

Ok bro tks alot..shall head towards ur direction

You still asking sia?

The first time i came to AC i could not find spicy food.

So i started walking around with tobasco sauce...... extra hot version.....

so u gotta be creative in that sense...

There are two places i can recommend:

1) Emericos on Fields.... Serves fantastic curry. And if you are not Malay and eat pork you can even try their Pork vindaloo eurasian dish. Ask for extra spicy

2) Steves curry at Phoenix hotel... also recommendd by etsys

if you got any other places to head to please let me know as well

Hmmm ok, detaisl noted..tks alot bro

Yeah, been to a few of those mentioned.
Pink Pussycat was a good place while it lasted. Good stage shows with all nude gals in cages. Beers were very cheap during happy hours and good times at the bar. Can't remember BF too many from there as selection was so-so but made up for with good attitudes.

Rumours closed and was renamed (can't remember what) then that one also folded and moved to Subic.

Ah, that brings back very good memories. If you like AC now (excluding the recent raids) then those earlier times at that web site were 10x better. There use to be so much nudity that I sometimes want them to have some clothes on so I could have something to take off later.
Also back in the days, it was all about performance and attitude. NO such thing as runners as it was more the opposite. Hard to get rid of them in the morning. Ironic as it may sound, it turned out that in the past I was the "runner" as it was the only way to get away from her so I could pick another gal later

Bus from /to Manila with a/c cost about 130 more or less and cheaper ones without a/c but also may stop more often along the way. So Always avoid the bus with passenger windows open as they don't have a/c. Pay the few extra peso and enjoy the ride more.

Didn't know it is now only cater to Koreans. Last time I stay there was maybe 3 years ago and it was not bad. Good location and ok prices for its prime location. The Koreans could be just as bad as the Japanese on how they treat "others".
