Tagaytay is known for its cool weather, lovely view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano, active dining scene with rustic restaurants and coffeeshops. Of course, not to mention its proximity to Metro Manila which is roughly a 2-hour by private car, one can literally and figuratively chill in Tagaytay.
Spending a night or two is also possible especially if the hotel is facing east, and has a nice view of Taal. One such place that fits all of that is Taal Vista Hotel.
I haven't been to Tagaytay for years because I dread the traffic but I can't seem to resist an invite from a smartphone phone brand, not just to attend its grand launch but with an overnight stay to boot. Also, things of the past are almost becoming normal again after being cooped for two years because of the pandemic. So this is really a nice treat. Thank you HONOR Philippines.
So I found myself at Taal Vista just a couple of weeks ago. Check-in time was around 230PM but since there's a lot of us, the lobby at the East Wing was dedicated to our big group and the organizers just gave us the keys to our rooms after registration.
My roommate and I got billeted at the Mountain View bldg., a bit far from where we registered but it was on the quieter part of the hotel compound and is just beside the swimming pool.
Our lovely twin room is spacious and has the usual amenities such as desk, small fridge, coffee/tea set, ironing board, etc.
Like some of the hotels that I've been to lately, Taal Vista Hotel also practice reducing plastic so instead of the usual bottled water, there's hot/cold water dispenser along the hallway. Drinking glasses and a pitcher are provided inside the room. This is also true with body wash and shampoo in the shower area. Thumbs up!
As much as I love to swim, Tagaytay's cool early morning temperature and wind makes it impossible. Haha brrrrr!
