staying in Tagaytay Econo Inn
by santeria01 about Tagaytay Econo Inn
The inn was ok for budget-conscious travelers like me. I was given the budget room (which is located on the next building, their Kaye Ryan Grill Restaurant). It has its own T&B, cable TV and stuff. The accommodation also includes breakfast and Media Noche (New Year's eve dinner). No pool, good facilities, view of the Taal lake is fantastic. I expected full breakfast though, which they didn't have. I was informed of a continental breakfast, which should at least have some sausages or bacon, but I found out that they offered only coffee and bread and eggs. So I had to buy the sausages. Sadness. :-(
Their Media Noche was good though. And they had cocktails during the countdown. So that counts for something. :-)
Very artsy cafe
by santeria01 about Java Jazz Cafe
So my nose was too cold to the touch, we decided to have a coffee-somewhere; anywhere! And we chanced on this quaint little coffee shop a few blocks from Tagaytay econo inn. The shop has a homey and artsy ambiance, really relaxing. :-) It has wood furnitures, there are also two small japanese table where we can sit cross legged! And all over its walls are paintings that must be made by the owner of the cafe. I took the "Cafe de Tagaytay" - a concoction of brewed coffee with white chocolate. Yum! My sister had an espresso and my mom - a chocolate fan like me - took the "Tsokolate-eh". Pancake is not so good though. But the ambiance and the coffee made it all up for me.
Jeepney rides are Cheaper!

Going to People's Park in the Sky, Picnic Grove, Good Shepherd Convent (for pasalubong!), Tagaytay Econo-Inn, Royal Taal Inn, Keni Po, Aroma Apartelle, Amora Rooms, 5R, Devt. Academy of the Philippines, Japanese Garden, Tagaytay Gymnasium... go to the jeepney terminal @ Olivarez (just a wee bit before the Olivarez Plaza if you're coming from Manila). Take the jeep bound for/with the signage People's Park in the Sky.
Going to Bag of Beans, Caleruega, RSM, Mi-Jo, Leslie's, Starbucks, Kitaro, Josephine's, Parc Royal, Tagaytay Int'l. Convention Center, Mushroom Burger, Rancho Ferva Lodge, Taal Vista, Residence Inn, Tagaytay City Hall, Mahogany Market, 41st Division USAFFE site... take the jeeps bound for Nasugbu or Mendez.
For those who want to get the freshest beef to take home, you can go to Mahogany Market.
At the Olivarez Plaza you can find there's a drugstore, grocery, photo supplies shop, ATM/banks, ukay(thrift shops) and fast food restos.
At the People's Park in the Sky, there are restos, souvenir and food shops. When going back to Olivarez from there, wait for the jeepney going down the park. The driver will drop you off at the terminal, then from the terminal, you can get a ride going back to Olivarez.
Although you can ride a tricycle, they ask for a higher fare. 3X the jeepney fare, actually.

I visited Tagaytay twice, but never stay at night. I know you can find rooms for about 1500 pesos, in front of picnic groove, just negotiate. I suggest you to have a lunch at Sonya's Garden, that is about 500 per person but wonderful place for your anniversary, make a reservation by phone. Check the tips about Tagaytay. The most expensive is not always the best.

Your P5th can already book you in a premiere rm w/ view of Taal Volcano & Lake at Tagaytay Econo Inn, or a nice rm at Days Hotel, or a cozy rm at Boutique B&B.

i found a hotel that is less expensive, is keni po hotel nice?
Re: please help me!!
by winkypinky
oh sure thanks. and for your information, we are not cheap.
Re: please help me!!
by cyndymc
I haven't heard of keni po. You know, if you have a private vehicle, you can just drive along Aguinaldo Hi-way in Tagaytay and check out the inns first. We pass by Tagaytay almost every week on the way to our clubhouse in Alfonso, and I noticed so many new inns and B&B, some with signs of their rates (below P2,000). You might have to make advance reservation though if you plan to go on November 2 because many people go to Tagaytay on the weekend of All Saints Day.

Why not try Taal Vista Lodge? They have a promo that is just within your budget. Or Robinson's Summit Ridge Hotel.It is along the National Highway, has its own supermarket and with a number of restaurants you can choose from without leaving comforts of the hotel.
Re: please help me!!
by winkypinky
