Just back from AC ....
Central Park (Steveski has given the contact details) has the most friendly staff and a great place to stay if you can get a room. Even now its 'low' season the hotels are pretty packed. If you can get a room there would recommend the New Amsterdam Hotel - right in the heart of the 'action' and the best resurant in AC (for both value and quality).
Still nitelife .... barfines 1200 Peso (840 Bhat) gone up a bit from 1k - inflation and weak peso - but this is for all nite and if you barfine in afternoon - thats a hell of a lot of ****ing!! Still a tip is usual. Smaller outfits towards Clark have 1k Peso barfines still and if your early can find some very high quality hotties. And if your an insomniac or your girl lets you down Doll House is open 24/7 !!!
Totally different 'feel' to Phuket and absolutely nothing to do except drink (lots) and **** (lots) .... worth a side trip but much longer than a week and the liver and **** has probably taken enough abuse.
PS: North Luzon highway from Manila to AC is completed and takes about 90 mins now- taxi pickup from hotel will be 2100/2400 peso. Manila sucks and unless your asian not really worth the effort.
