I've been to Islands Finest (more than once) and although the costumer service is outstanding (communication, receptionist, refreshments, rooms), the providers and their service are quite a ways to be on par with their current rates. In terms of quality, I'd say they're probably positioned between SU and CCE. I haven't given up on them, but they're going to really step up their game if they want me back. As far as I'm concerned, SVIPS is still king.

(I didn't post any reviews because I try not to post reviews of providers I've seen only once --the proverbial benefit of the doubt--, unless they're absolutely incredible or absolutely horrendous).

Thanks for the update; I was highly doubtful that a new agency could justify those prices. My real fear is that svips sees them operating with those prices and decides to raise to match, which is basically what happened when BOA was in town (they had private bathrooms with showers in every room so they could justify charging a bit more IMO - having one shared bathroom sucks).

Hopefully they either find a way to earn their high prices (free bottled water isn’t going to cut it lol) or lower them to something at least approaching market rates. Definitely want to see them stick around as we need all the options we can get.

Ya, I can’t say their business model does anything for me

From the other post, they explained their girls are 100% real (something I expect from an agency anyways) but services won’t be listed and have to be discussed with each girl

I understand YMMV, but if some things are a no go regardless, I have no interest in paying $300 to find out once I get there, or worse having already paid...

I am much more concerned with Bait and Switch service than I am Bait and switch girls. I can always walk when the door opens if the girl doesn’t match the ad with my money still in my pocket

Agencies need to take some lessons from BOA. Services are listed that are included and extras are listed with corresponding price. Class Choice sorta figured theirs out as they say GFE/PSE are included in the rate and each girl has a list of services, but is then implied that some services are extra and the phone girl doesn’t know which ones or how much

Can be frustrating

Hey guys! Stay tuned for updates coming soon! We are in our "soft opening" phase still. Lots of new girls coming soon! Website coming soon! Very soon you will be able to come in and choose (in person and see each girl) from a stacked line up. If you have came in and weren't happy with any of the women, keep checking and take a look at our website as we have about 4 new girls starting in the next week! We will be constantly adding more after that, so eventually there will be the perfect selection for everyone ! We will be evolving constantly! Only been open a handful of days , maybe 2 weeks tops, have some patience please! When you see us start to advertise on PERB is when you'll know we starting to really get things dialed in! Working out all the kinks at this point still . ����

As cool as having girls line up sounds, I’d probably find it awkward choosing one over the others, or perhaps deciding on neither.... Just have good quality, untouched photos on your website and lots of them

If using Leo, don’t lump 4-5 girls in the same ad

Have a clear list of services on a sub menu of a girls profile, what she does and what she does not do. We all get it’s YMMV, but I don’t want to end up in a room with a $300 girl and find out DATY is an extra or not available. Bonus points if you take BOA’s lead and list the cost of the extra

I'm visiting Victoria soon and like the idea of choosing a girl on the spot. This is the norm in Edmonton with the multitude of walk-in studios with Caucasian SP's. I sometimes make a booking to guarantee a girl I want to see, but usually I just walk in and choose from the day or evening line-up.

If you go, let us know how it went please. I would try the line up once for sure, but to each his own.

I did the lineup in Vegas and Australia many years a go and it was fine. I think it would be a bit uncomfortable if you did it in your hometown and the lineup had several women that you had seen before. Of course as always it is an individual thing.

Hey Robert. We had written on the ad that the picture wasn't actually them . They last minute had wanted to work so we rushed to advertise for them. Then as soon as the photographer had edited out their tattoos (to protect their privacy) we changed the ad and posted the photos of them. The girls don't line up all at once. One at a time comes into a private room with you, introduces themselves and then walks out and the next girl comes in. After all the girls have walked out and met you, the receptionist comes in and asks who you would prefer to see. This is very much the norm, everywhere BUT Victoria . Seems like a more normal procedure in any type of industry to see what you are about to spend your hard earned money on...

I too saw the ad and did not see any disclosure that the picture was not them. In fact I took care to analyze it carefully before I commented “busted”. Why bother even posting fake pictures then saying they are fake on the ad instead of not posting it in the first place?

Ok, fine, but don’t do this in lieu of extensive photos and lists of services on your website

I don’t feel the need to have conversations with girls and then reject them based on what they don’t offer, or something I don’t like about them

Anyone whos been to a strip club and has to constantly reject lap dances because your waiting for a specific girl to come by makes it kind of a buzzkill feeling

I may be interested in a 2 girl lineup/meeting if I couldn’t decide based on pics and profiles, but I wouldn’t want to see the whole house if I’d already narrowed it down to 2

The only benefit I can see from this is if a girl was in need of some “business” and she found the client attractive she may decide to increase her inclusive services to make the sale

Could be a competitive advantage for some clients in a Ymmv situation

Coming from Vancouver, the businesses that offer lineup are not all that, they are usually FS joints disguised as massage parlours and the best girls are always busy and not available for the lineup so you end up getting a lineup with the "leftovers" or the place advertises 10 girls working and you only see 2 in a lineup because they lied just to get you in there in hopes that you will chose one of the 2. The escort agencies in Vancouver at the 300$+ range don't offer a lineup, the pics are exactly how the girl looks so no disappointments when you see your girl and their services are standard for all the girls working there which means that you know exactly what kind of service you will get from each and every girl, no guessing, no surprises. An example would be the 1122 or West Coast Angels.
Also this, it had never been my impression that all the girls are in house for their entire shift... Some are, but when I book it seems the girl may be out and about, the receptionist gives her a text about a pending appointment, then I get a reply from the receptionist when the girl will be available. (Usually 30 minutes to an hour) if I’m looking for right away as to give her time to get there

Making them sit there all day to be available for “lineups” with no guarantees of any actual appointments seems like a waste for the girls and would suggest they might have a hard time retaining them if this is a strict practice

That's also been my experience with the MP scene in the GTA; you're almost never getting the top girls in the lineup as they're busy enough with bookings that they don't need the walk-ins. Getting to see a line-up is actually really nice if you're just dropping in spur of the moment without an appointment - you just knock on the door, see who's available, and go for it if you see someone you like. One of the things that frustrates me about the Victoria scene is that it's really tough to be spontaneous; if you unexpectedly have a couple of hours off and want to see someone the pickings are slim as the agencies often can't accommodate short notice appointments so you end up desperately trolling leolist. Having an agency that specializes in walk-ins is a good idea in theory although I don't know if Victoria is busy enough to support it. Also I know I've harped on this before but pricing still seems too high - if I'm desperate I'll pay a premium for short notice service but for scheduled appointments the rates are just too high for me to consider.
