Hey bros! Don't even think about asking the Indon-Chinese receptionist at Hotel Paradise whether she will accept booking. You are asking for trouble, haha. I already stated in my previous sharing that she is
NOT APPLICABLE for booking. Means don't even harbor any thoughts about it. Seriously, she is here to work a decent job as a hotel receptionist, not as a prostitute. So please treat her with respect, ok? We are here to have fun, not to look for girlfriends. Besides, can you manage a long distance relationship? What if she's already attached, or even married?
For me, I would not even try. It's just like you see any damn chio mixed blood receptionist anywhere (not just in hotels and shopping centers only), would you just approach her and ask, "Hey Miss, do you accept bookings for sex services?" What would her reaction be? You guys should know the obvious. So if you decide to stay at Hotel Paradise for upcoming trips, and you see her at the reception, just smile at her and she will kindly assist you. Just oogle at her SYT looks, her silky long hair, and keep smiling at her.
Bros who are interested to know which hotel I always stay? OK, I shall share my hotel info.
Shangrila Hotel. Basically it is a 3-Star hotel owned by a Chinese towkay (boss). Chinese receptionists, Chinese driver, and majority of the occupants are Chinese uncles in their 40s-60s. I was brought here by the uncle on my virgin trip. He shared a room with his second wife upstairs. 5-Storey, and no lifts. All climbing stairs. Rooms come equipped with queen sized beds, TV, air-con and bathroom. Cleanliness always well maintained. Room rates are $20(150K) for standard room, top up $3(20K) for bathroom with bathtub. Really good budget hotel with benefits of Chinese speaking folks and complimentary breakfast every morning. Location wise, near to the ferry terminal too.
I need to share a very important info. It almost slipped my mind. Always make it a habit to deposit money at the hotel reception upon checking in. Yes, every hotel provides such services. This is to ensure that you have enough money to pay for the room, the boarding pass, and seaport taxes before you leave Balai. I learned it the hard way once and will not allow it to happen again. Once bitten, twice shy. Based on how much you are paying for the room over how many nights, add 18K for boarding passes and 60K for seaport taxes. You can deposit more money if you like anytime. Don't worry, the hotel won't run away with your money. Trust me, all of my friends have agreed that my suggestion always worked. Better to be safe than sorry right? If you are on a tight budget, you will have a good excuse not to tip your booking girl that much if she is demanding, before she leaves the next morning. You can even show your almost empty wallet to her.
Just don't mention anything about the deposit. Cover your own ass.
