[prettymish98]

Sisses, favor please. Pano commute to bag of beans, mushroom burger, sonia's garden at pink sisters from keni po? Sorry ha andami hehe...tia!

[pinkberries]

^^^ Thanks sis.  sana maging okay lahat pati ang weather pag bisita namin dun.

[chesk]

thank you sisses sa mga nagreply. pero hindi ba sayang yung bayad sa the boutique hotel kung sa gabi lang kami mag stay dun kasi syempre sa day mamasyal kami sa labas.. gusto ko kasi magpa spa (any suggestion kung san maganda or may libre spa sa the boutique  ?)

[matetreyes]

sis meron sampler (10 min) facial or foot massage. all their spa services are done inroom. wala sila separate na spa but they provide separate massage beds.

kung spa, nurture spa is one of the bests. or there's seri-asia in summit ridge too

[pinkberries]

ang daming discounted rates for Tagaytay hotels  sa mga group buying sites, pati na ang Taal Vista.   

[switlemonade]

may naka try na sa inyo sa Theodore hotel ? how was it ?

[chesk]

same question.. how's theodore hotel? discounted kasi sya sa ensogo.

[pinkberries]

^room looks good sa website nila but i haven't tried it yet.  i booked a room na today using ensogo voucher. 

was about to buy yong sa Taal Vista (pakyaw) but I was told by the reservation agent that she can't book my desired date today, kasi launching date daw nila sa pakyaw sept 13-22 and redemption is oct 2-nov 30, 2011.  she suggested me to call back on oct 2 for the booking.     fixed ang gusto kong date, di pwede na by oct 2 ay malalaman ko na fully booked na pala sila.   so sa Theodore ako nagbook ngayon.    mabuti at may other options sa ibang group buying sites. 

[switlemonade]

^ i booked one din sa Theodore using Ensogo, will use on Oct 1. will try the Whimsical room i hope its okay

location nito? from rotonda, before may magallanes square to dba?

[matetreyes]

yes before magallanes square. beside The Boutique lang, right after Pamana Restaurant. Pag nasa Olivarez na kayo, super lapit na

[mama squeak!]

@switlemonade, The Theodore is right beside The Boutique. Coming from the rotonda, mauuna ang Theodore. Hubby and I stayed at their Suite last January. We had a great time. Sarap din their breakfast! Di ko lang nagustuhan yung spa service nila. It's nothing to get excited about, ordinary lang kasi.

I'm a bit upset about this Theodore Hotel deal. It is indicated on the Ensogo website that it is valid from Sept.20,2011-Sept.20,2012. Bf and I will be having a vacation this December so I paid for the voucher and emailed Theodore asking for a reservation for Dec.22-23, they didn't reply and so I asked my sis to send them an sms for the reservation since December is still 3 months away it's impossible na wala na sila agad na room. They replied to my sister and said that the voucher is invalid for the whole month of December kasi busy daw! To my disappointment and inis I called them up kahit na long distance and then they told me the same thing. I told the operator that how could that be na puno na agad kayo ng December eh September pa lang. And it's not indicated on Ensogo that hindi pala sya pwede ng December.Should have I known then I could have just booked in Agoda. I already emailed Ensogo about it and hopefully they will just return my money back. Sayang din kasi yung 3k kung mapupunta lang sa wala.

[switlemonade]

^ sis.. parang limited lang ata sila to 2 Standard rooms lang for Ensogo users eh. kasi kame nagpapabook for Oct una sinsabi nila meron pa then pag sinabi ko na under ng Ensogo wala na daw, kasi limited lang to 2 rooms for Ensogo..

sana lang na indicate nila na excluding the month of Dec.

[chesk]

because of that im hesitant now to buy vouchers at ensogo, especially pag hotels. ayaw na ayaw ko yung im being ignored lalo na pag nalaman nila na ensogo user.

[pinkberries]

^^^ oo nga, sayang din naman yong 3K   

what i usually do if i have a fixed date in mind, i always call first the hotel if that date is still available using a voucher before buying it.  They're nice naman in telling me whether it's available or not, based from the 3 hotels I inquired before.    Except na lang yong sa Pakyaw deal for Taal Vista, who suggested me to call on a certain date,  which I find it odd.

[babyjapnurse01]

I wanna avail of vouchers sana para ibigay sa parents ko kaso when I heard about stories nga ng ganyan na usually hindi priority ang mga may vouchers, pinalagpas ko nalang yung mga cheap deals hehe!

Especially sa Tagaytay, mukhang malabo na they would prioritize people who use vouchers especially when you want to book a weekend, kasi kadalasan puno talaga sila pag weekends, but at least sana they indicate sa website kung may available or what or tumawag muna to confirm dates before purchasing para walang hassle.

[^Vain_Chiq^]

I adjusted the date to January 3-4 and travel plans just for this voucher tapos I asked my sis to call them again aba puno na din daw ang January 3-4. I'm super disappointed. I don't know if Ensogo will refund my voucher but if ever pwede ba ibenta na lang yung voucher even if its under my name?

[chesk]

P6500 pala yung cheapest room sa Taal Vista. Gusto ko sana dun kasi may pool kaya lang mahal pala. 10K kasi budget namin ni BF para sa celebration ng anniv namin this November, kasama na dun yung hotel, foods and activities sa Tagaytay. Any suggestion sisses? TIA

[chesk]

sisses, need your comments asap! 

based on your reviews and my research, here are the hotels that got my attention:

TAAL VISTA HOTEL - gustong gusto ko sana dito kasi may pool at ang gaganda ng reviews kaya lang tapos na yung promo nila na discount for sm advantage users by November. November kasi kami punta sa Tagaytay ni BF.

The Boutique - gusto ko din 'to kaya lang mahal, hindi na kaya ng budget namin. tapos yung cheapest nila, walang veranda na overlooking di ba?!

The THouse - nice ambiance daw. Pero namamahalan ako kasi wala naman akong special na nakikita sa place na ito tapos hindi din sya overlooking.

The Theodore Hotel - wala ko interes sa hotel na ito nung una, kasi name pa lang wala ng dating. But nung nakita ko na 50% discount sila sa Ensogo, nagkaroon ako ng interes. from 6K naging 3K+ sya, and i viewed their website and ang ganda. pero i just have some questions sa mga nakapunta na sa inyo dito at sa mga nakapag stay dito using Ensogo vooucher..

1. Overlooking ba ito? kasi nakita ko sa website nila na yung deck na restaurant/dining area overlooking, i just want to confirm with you girls, and pwede ba tumambay dun kahit sino?
2. have you encountered problem using ensogo voucher in staying/checking in in this hotel?
3. how's the room, sisses?

if you have any suggestions na ok na hotel na below 5K yung price, please let me know. thanks!
