Days Hotel (Part 2)
by victorwkf
This part 2 shows you some photographs of the rooms at Days Hotel, Tagaytay. Essentially the rooms are nice and comfortable, but quite standard and nothing really fantastic. The air-con is not centralised and located in the room, so you need to adjust it yourself. Sometimes the air-con can get a bit noisy. There is a balcony outside each room where you can sit and watch the beautiful view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano (see the travelogue section of this VT page for the photographs taken at this hotel).
TAGAYTAY HOTELS: Tagaytay Newest Bed & Breakfast
by longbathan about Andanita Lakeview Hotel & Coffeeshop (TAJ-owned)
Best because the location is deeper into Metro-Tagaytay away from the crowded Tagaytay city center. But the Taal lake and volcano view is still fantastic and breath-taking. The themes of the rooms are unique-they have indian/mediterranean themed rooms. The rates are relatively well-priced. But they have this huge presidential room (almost 75sqm) called 'Maharashtra Suite'-indian interiors. They have their own spa (Green Mountain Spa) and restaurant called TAJ of Tagaytay offering indian and mediterranean cuisine, we love it!!! The Spa is great, we like the 'philippine hilot' and body scrub and most of all the foot reflex.
Best of Both Worlds at EVERCREST
by AusPinay about EVERCREST RESORT- PEACE & QUIET, Cheap Food!
IF you're going to Tagaytay City, in the Philippines,you might consider staying at Evercrest Golf Club Resort- it is between Tagaytay and Batangas so you are close to both lake, Taal Volcano views, beaches, shopping,restaurants,etc..
My family and I stayed there last Dec05 and it was great- especially the food prices in the restaurant are unbelievable!,Plus, no extra room service charge! Imagine pancakes and eggs for 55 pesos , that's less than 2 Aussie or US dollars! They have a varied menu with international and Filipino dishes.
The general ambience? If peace and quiet is what you like, no crowds, then this is it! Friendly, warm and efficient, that's how I can sum up their service.
Don't be put off if it is a golfing resort. The guests are usually at the golf courses anyway!
Hire a private car/van if you are with family members/kids as it is better. The rate is not too high, around 1,500 pesos a day. Negotiate if you want to include the driver too.
Here's the website:http://www.travelph.com/resorts/tagaytay/evercrest/
There's olympic sized pool, jacuzzis, etc, plus the fab golf course whether you are a golfer or not.
How to get there via public or private car/van:
The area could be reached from Metro Manila via the Coastal Road or the South Superhighway. BLTB buses from Pasay, Metro Manila having a destination signboard of Nasugbu or Balayan ply the route passing Tagaytay City. If going through the South Superhighway, take the Carmona exit and drive down through Silang up to the entrance of Tagaytay City.
Travel time : 1 1/2 to 2 hours' drive from Manila.
Btw, the best time to go there is not during peak season though they were quiet right after Christmas. Weather is relatively cooler too. Instead of going to Baguio City, this is the nearer alternative to a mountain climate that is just easily reached by road from Manila.
Cheers and happy trip! Great room service and very reasonably priced food menu
Big bath tub- my two kids and I can fit inside!
(By the way, we had a discount there as my sister gets bonus points for being a regular customer.)
Home away from Home
by acoropeo about CasaMara
If you're looking for a Vacation home in the cool city of Tagaytay, CasaMara is a perfect getaway for people seeking respite from pressures of living in the metropolis ideal place to relax and unwind. Its a 2-storey rustic house with an annex, a beautiful garden, 2 gazebos and a lookout! It can accomodate 12-20 pax. The house has a fully equiped kitchen, a TV, stereo and DVD player. For outdoor dining, there are 2 gazebos and a gas bbq grill! Sleeping quarters of the main house are on the 2nd floor and overlooks the sala. There are two sections and bathroom. There are also sleeping quarters in the annex ensuite! I am sure you'll enjoy staying in CasaMara as much i did! The house was built by the owner himself who is an architect. its a rustic place inspired by the Filipino Bahay Kubo. There are lots of sitting areas for relaxation, solo meditation or group bonding. Its really like a home away from home. The kitchen is fully equiped, with the The Tagaytay City Market conveniently accross the street.
Right on Lake itself
by victorcklau about San Roque Beach Resort
The owners are very friendly and helpful, and they have this guesthouse which has 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms which we rented wholly for the 10 of us. When they saw that we were a little cramped, Lita offerred us another room in the adjacent building FOC. You can have them arrange lunch, dinner etc at their little resort, and they even have their own banca boat to take us to the island. All 3 rooms are air-conditioned but only 1 worked well - hope they have rectified that - hot water ok but water pressure a bit low. The guest house cost us Peso 6000 per night and we had all the privacy we wanted. The best thing about this place is that it is right on the waters edge. The sunrise and sunset is nice with the waters and Taal in front of you. They have a open aired but covered hall which you can use FOC and we used it for our dancing and dining. Just too bad that it is not as cool as in the Tagaytay city itself as this is located in Talisay.
