Tagaytay (Thread 9)

[glacy_rein]

^try to use agoda booking sis, be aware lang sa lugar deceiving kasi na malayo like kung nasugbu part na.

[honeycrushed]

sis iheartkulot, i stayed in tagaytay haven before.  ok naman yung place kaso not for the romantic. motmot style ang rooms with windows/terrace nga lang.  if you're willing to spend a little more, taal vista has a promo parang 3,500 lang. 

hubby & i were there last weekend, we stayed at Lee Boutique.  Got the room for 2,500. Ok naman yung place since malapit sa kabihasnan.  But it's not for me. We did not get the room we booked, hindi pa ko nasatisfy sa way na hinandle ng concierge yung concern ko. 

Anyway, maraming ok na hotel sa tagaytay. If you want a room with a view, you have to spend a little more.  For budget trips, I heard Keni Po has good accommodations.  Also, I checked out Lazea Inn sa deals before, malapit lang din.  Pero sis kung commute kayo, I suggest you get the hotels along Tagaytay-Nasugbu road para hindi hassle mag commute.

Hi sisses, anong hotel or inn ba sa tagaytay ang pwedeng i-book for day tour? kasi balak namin mag tour sa selected places then foodtrip sana then we want to have a room pang relax lang. or pwede namang if resort type sya room yung ibibigay samin hindi basta cottage lang.

Recommended Accommodation Casa Mara Tagaytay : "A sanctuary. A perfect getaway. It’s not your usual accommodation as you will feel rightly at home."

Try nyo, super love namin ang Place, laging binabalikan. Good Location (near tagaytay city market), tahimik ang place, super bait pa ng owner (mr&mrs Raul Dizon) Vacation Home nila pwede rentahan, nap aka HOMEY ng place, super mura ng rate (550/pax) pwede pa tawaran;)  hindi strict sa oras ng check in and out, mabait din ang caretaker nila, pwede magrequest ng kahit anong kailangan 
 pwede gumamit ng utensils at may kitchen para magluto or magpaluto at mag BBQ sa garden 

last visit naming sa Casa Mara this holyweek, nandun kami 5days, 4nights, paid only 4,500 (super discounted for 4 adults and 1 kid, super age na ng check in sa DAY1 and super Late Check out sa 5th day) nakakatuwa since andun din nagbabakasyon ang owner, hinahatiran pa kami ng libreng food na niluluto nila, super bait talaga.

kaya sa mga naghahanap ng mura but magandang place na pag stayhan sa Tagaytay, Try nyo po CASA MARA

Nagwalk in kami dati sa tagaytay. Napunta kami sa Pink Hotel sa may mendez dahil fully booked na at mahal yung iba . Mura talaga siya pero overlooking naman ng taal volcano but the place is so so lang. Super budget hotel lang talaga. https://foursquare.com/v/tagaytay-pink-hotel/4fa5ac31e4b05483071c8ed4

[assie]

Mabait talaga si sir Raul Dizon (owner)
Hindi naman nakakatakot yong place sis. Pwede request nyo na yong malapit sa kitchen na room sis, good for 2 lang talaga yon. Yong sa hill kasi 3 double beds ang nandun. Pero mas gusto namin dun kasi mas tahimik. Pwede nyo tawaran ng 1k yon. Madali kausap yong may ari ng casa mara:)

[pretty_B]

sis zen1820, i replied to your pm na. :*

sis assie, naku. kababalik lang namin from tagaytay. sa 5R rooms na kami nagstay sis. kasi 8pm na din kami nakadating sa Tagaytay. and di ko talaga kabisado pa kung nasaan yung casa mara. sabi ko nalang since magkakatabi naman mga budget inns sa gawi ng 5R at least makakapili pa kami. ayun. Maybe next time try namin dun. natakot kasi si bf eh hehe. may iba naman ba kayong nakakasabay na nagrerent dun? like...how many rooms ba ang meron sila?

[mharickar]

yung josephine's ba malapit lang sa picnic grove? plan kasi namin ni bf na mag day tour.. at gagawa pa lang kami ng itinerary.. 

[honeycrushed]

thanks sis assie for introducing casa mara. i'll book here for our next team workshop.  the place looks relaxing. and for the price, ok siya ha 

sis mharickar, magkalayo ang picnic grove and josephines, nasa magkabilang panig ng tagaytay sila. picnic grove is on the way to palace in the sky, while josephines is near sky ranch.

We had a weekend stay at Tagaytay for my birthday last April. I booked a room in Taal Vista Hotel through Agoda and it was a good stay naman. We arrived super early and we were so happy na they allowed us to do an early check in at 11am instead of 2pm. Taal Vista is very accessible to lots of places, plus it's just beside Sky Ranch. What I didn't like lang is that super rinig namin yung family na naka-check in sa room beside us. As in, we can hear their conversation about EVERYTHING, wala na sila naitago samin. Nakakairita lang kase kaya nga you choose to pay more for a more expensive hotel is because you want privacy. Eh ewan ko lang kung talagang yung family sa kabila eh walang concept ng privacy.

[honeycrushed]

^ aawww that's too bad sis.  i have never stayed at taal vista but wanting to kaso hesitant ako to get the mountain view rooms thru agoda baka it's too far. but my friend recommends their spa, the best daw ang massage.

[twelvth_goddess]

^Aside from that naman everything na was ok. Siguro natapat lang kame sa super loud neighbor. I'd still stay at Taal Vista pero gusto ko din try Lake Hotel next time.

sis mharickar, magkalayo ang picnic grove and josephines, nasa magkabilang panig ng tagaytay sila. picnic grove is on the way to palace in the sky, while josephines is near sky ranch.

so kung pupunta kami for example sa palace in the sky ng morning and afternoon sa sky ranch naman, medyo malayo ang ibbyahe namin sis?

[cheezecake]

^sobrang bilis lang ang Tagaytay kayang kaya ang 1 day, pwera na lang kung balak nyong akyatin ang Taal Volcano ayun half day na kaagad yun.
