Gottago

Quick update to the club. Was back in Manila and called in on Friday night, when they had a special event on! A lot busier than last time, with the sky at packed for the drag show, karaoke and go go boys. You were given a fluro bracket on arrival which indicated your preference. One level was nude with a cute worker taking care of the towels;) It was so much better than last time! I had a great time. Lots of guys just my type, young, smooth skin with sexy round asses and an appetite for sex. I had a great night and left around midnight completely exhausted. To say it was good for my ego is is an understatement. So many guys I liked liked me, ant a much higher ratio then I’m used to! I only saw one other westerner while I was there, so maybe guys just had a hankering for white meat:) Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely try to align it with a special night here.

The post is a little old but I just tried out Alpha Massage in QC. They advertised it was a pool party with unlimited drinks. I got there early Friday night and was greated by two ladies behind the counter minding a baby. I booked a massage and scrub. i hung out in the wet area for a little while. It was underwhelming. Pretty small with only a few customers milling around. i didn’t choose my masseur, but he was pretty cute. Fully dressed for the duration and no hint of any extra service. Massage was great and the scrub was intense. For a massage place it was pretty good, but there was nothing erotic or sexual about it all.

So went back Friday night. Checked out the address Macaroni21 had hunted down. The building has been demolished and is a construction site, so that was a dead end. I did end up finding it, hiding in plan sight. They have moved (at least once, maybe twice, due to the building they were leasing being torn down). They have taken over the PGHI Hotel on the corner of Alabama St and East Rodriguez Snr Ave. The entrance is around the back in the carpark. I was standing in front of it and couldn’t see it! To enter there is quite a process. Like all saunas in Manila it is members only, so you need to purchase a membership, from one month to a year. ID required. Once that’s done and you pay your entry you go to another person and they list your valuables which you put in a seperate locker. Then your patted down (I guess checking for phones, weapons?) and go through to yet another guy who issues you a towel. From there it’s pretty standard. Over four levels with a single hallway in each level with various rooms branching off. The bones of the former hotel are evident, which doesn’t make it the most conducive for cruising. There is a small bar on the ground floor in the wet area, a large outdoor bar/lounging area on the 3rd floor and a sky bar/karakoe lounge with an outdoor area on the 4th. As for the crowd, there really wasn’t one. Probably around 20 when I arrived at 8.30, getting up to 40 after 10. All local, 20’s/30’s. From conversations with patrons I gather it only gets busy during special events, so it would pay to check out their Twitter feed before you come. still managed to have some fun, the locals are pretty charming but seem a little shy in the public areas. The website gives the impression it’s a bar/cafe with a sauna attached. That may have been true at the previous location, but this is just a sauna (with massage) now. It has the makings of a great place. They could benifit from knocking down some walls and creating a more amenable cruising space. The wet area seems to have just been dropped into where it could fit. If they could attract a big crowd it could comfortably host a few hundred patrons and it would go off! But for now, with only small crowds it’s too spread out with just a single hallway on each for for punters to walk up and down all night. Staff are helpful and hot, I was more attracted to them than the customers. All up, a bit disappointing. I was hoping for something like Nadam Spa in HCMC or Chakran in BKK - big crowds and crazy group action. I don’t think that happens too often here. I think I had a better time at Bath Club due to the much better layout. Hooefully this thread will help out anyone struggling like I did to find the place. Entry is pretty hidden in the carpark. If you have trouble just approach the carpark attendant.

As for my hotel, it’s located in Chinatown and extremely basic, no opening windows, no fridge and no hot water! A review online said the hallways could be used for a horror movie. In saying that, the bed was comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the price was cheaper than the Hrab there. My advice, get a hotel near what you want to see, otherwise spend half your visit in the back of a grab. I’ve travelled a fair bit, Manila traffic is something else. There are very few major roads in the metro area so congestion is a fact of life. In fact I’m in it right now!

Thanks for the info! I got hold of them via Twitter with some further directions. I’ll give it a go tonight and let you know!

Well, I don’t have too much to report:) Only arrived yesterday and fly out for Boracay tomorrow. Heaps of interest on Grindr with lots of guys wanting to meet. I prefer to hit a sauna as it eliminates the catfishing aspect and it’s far easier to remove yourself from the situation when required. While I like getting to know someone and chatting, I don’t want to be constantly hassled to catch up again. Failed to find F Cafe after walking all around the area. I would swear it was in a building that has been demolished (that’s what Google street view leads me to believe) but their socials are extremely active. I’ve reached out to them and hopefully I get a chance to check it out tonight. so when I have up I headed to Bath Club. Registered online on the way (that’s a strange process) and arrived early which wasn’t a problem. Only about 20 guys there, all local from 25-40. None really my type but I played around with a few in the dark maze. They were very interested and didn’t mind playing in a group which I love. only hung around for about an hour as I was hungry and tired. Today I’ll head to the Mall for a look around, maybe a massage at Extreme Touch and then Fahrenheit Cafe hopefully. I’m a sucker for punishment. off to the islands for a few days then off to Bangkok for about a week. any suggestions are welcome!

Gave up on the end and got a grab to Bath Club. Pretty quiet, but an interesting place regardless.

Hi guys. Long time lurker, always meaning to post, now I find myself in need of advice. im currently in Manila and was keen on heading to Fahrenheit but I’m having a bugger of a time finding the entrance. Is there a trick to it? I’ve tried contacting them with no luck. I’m at the address but can only see a number of eateries. The hotel they refer to in the address is nowhere to be found. any advice would be appreciated.
