Hotel in Gagayan De Oro??

[Fitzy]

i dont know where people get the idea that kingstone lodge is where guys take there rented girls the place is run by 2 englisg guys and there wifes the accomadation is great and the area is safe and as people said you are right next to sm mall


now the best part about kingstone lodge is the ENGLISH FOOD and i defy anyone to find that anywhere else as far as the other hotels in cagayan go yes some are ok but you are downtown in the smog and noise

i should know because i am there at the moment and the fecking chickens


also there are plenty of shortime hotels around cagayan for as little as 100php an hour so why would people want to pay kingstone lodge prices

Nice 1 Dave!!!!!

Great thread, coz I already booked it, and put down PHP 784 lol
Hmmmm, will be a good idea to introduce Roni to English food. A very good idea indeed.
Thank you for that, kind friend!
How long are you there for mate??
Perhaps we can meet up in August???
All the best mate.


Philip, and Roni

I have to agree with Dave, I've spent quite some time up there with Tony King (one of the owners) and the other ex-pats who tend to hang out there, most of whom own properties nearby and I've never seen anything like that going on. I think it would be slightly impractical as Dave says, it's about 5 miles from the city centre and about a mile from SM. I don't think there is anywhere around there where you could find a prostitute, there's only highway between there and SM and between there and the airport. I think that people are just making the assumption that if ex-pats hang out there then it follows that there must be prostitutes there.

Well said my friend, as even my other half asked me if I was like, i quote,' the other westerners'
I think both us, and them have a stigma, I'm afraid!!!
The other day I had to reassure Roni, that I am not like that, and not all Filipinas are prostitutes
When I mentioned that I had been to see her 3 times in the last year she agreed with me
I do however hope she likes our food, as I like hers, as I'm in to healthy eating, with the likes of rice, and fish etc...
On a whimsical note, her Mum when she ever briefly talks to me, insted of grunting, told me that Roni can't cook, and I reassured he that it didn't matter, as I am a pretty good cook myself
Her Mum doesn't like me at the moment coz I'm not yet divorced!
In fact I think that I would be a pretty good Husband, coz I don't mind cleaning, and cooking.
I do however draw the line at changing nappies
We agreed I wd buy them when we have a kid, and she wd change them lol...

Am looking forward to meeting Tony, and his crew, although I'm not the kind of guy to go to the Phils, and look for a fish, and chip shop
