Sonya's Garden used to be a private vacation sanctuary, but was later opened to the public. Walk-in guests can buy organic vegetables, herbal plants and baked items at their Country Store, and may even try to have reflexology or body massage. However, prior reservation is required for dining and overnight stay.

The ambiance at Sonya's Garden is so rejuvenating.

Photo hobbyists will enjoy practicing shots or experimenting with their lenses. There are so many interesting subjects in the beautiful town of Alfonso. Most establishments are photographer-friendly, even to those with dlsr, unlike other places that tolerate only photographers with point & shoot digicams.

Whenever we have Balikbayan relatives and friends, we bring them to Royale Tagaytay Country Club to savor any of the local foods they've missed: puto bumbong & bibingka with salabat (ginger ale), "dirty" icecream (the only difference, the ice cream is clean), and halohalo...Even our foreigner friends liked ouur halo-halo and ube icecream!

By the way, at RTTC Alfonso's, you make your own halo-halo, so you get to choose the ingredients and quantity you want.

Royale Tagaytay Country Club (RTTC) is a perfect get-away for us whenever we simply want to laze or relax in the massage chair, or have a professional massage by a trained masseuse; enjoy food without me doing the cooking; or play golf, badminton and bowling; practice some photography experiment; attend an intimate mass at the chapel on Sundays; swim in its cool swimming pool, etc. I like RTTC because it is not as big as the other country clubs so it is less crowded even on weekends. On weekdays, it's like having the place all to yourself. The staff are friendly, treating you like a member of the Royale family, and generally efficient.

RTTC is for members only, but non-members can go there if sponsored/referred by a member.

Not because we call it a farm it would mean raising goats, pigs, chicken and that sort of animals, yes we do have vegetables and some well thought and planned fruits which can many times supply our large family of 12 children. Below are photos of the bedrooms, the casual or everyday dinning room, a regular bathtub.(Sorry, I hope I don't look bored, was just resting my chin on my palm. If you notice the chandelier that was handmade by one of my sisters who lives in Los Angeles. Cheers to All!
