Girasol Tagaytay — Hotel in Alfonso

Our visit here is unplanned but sometimes unplanned things bears an unforgettable experience.

I seldom write a review on every establishment that I visited and I think this will be my first time 😉

It was late lunchtime and we still searching for a place to eat. I am celebrating my late birthday and my brothers advance birthday. We are so very hungry and all the diners and restaurants in tagaytay were full. So we have decided to eat in a resto where we can park. And thats when we decided to eat here.

FOOD: Superb!!!!! their Garlic Soy Pata is a MUST try.. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤. One order of this is good for 4 servings (for sharing) but sorry, for me it is good for only me 😂😂😂😂. The 6 chocolate muffins, i didn't have the chance to taste it. But on behalf of my nephew who eat all the 6 muffins, I would say it is to die for. I will rate the foods with 4 stars why???its because i want to come back and want to taste all thats in the menu 🤤🤤🤤🤤

SERVICE: Can I give a 4 star.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .....to 1 millionth power!!!! ???

all we want is just to eat because we are so hungry and that's it but the staff make it to another level as if we rented the whole room and have a birthday banquet. 😂😂😂 It's late lunch time and we are only three groups of customer there so all the staffs sing me and my brother a happy birthday with complimentary cakes which when I tasted it, its like i've travelled back in time where I'm eating a pastry made from ube and a sprinkle of coconut meat.. 🥺🥺🥺.

I will make it a hobby of coming back here. It is highly recommended for me if you want a aestethic gatherings, a luxurious style but affordable. This is...

Attended a friend’s wedding at another popular events place nearby and this is the nearest place to stay so I decided to check in at Girasol and this is one of the best bed and breakfast I went to. Located at a more quiet area along the highway, the place is super clean and the staff are very approachable and friendly. They made sure we are comfortable during our entire stay and accommodated us well. The rooms look better in person. We stayed at the Iris loft and wow the rooms are really clean, smells good and spacious. The beddings are hotel quality (honestly better than some hotels). Complete with towels and toiletries. The room has TV with Netflix and Youtube. The bathroom is clean. The main highlight is the breakfast which is definitely one of the best complimentary breakfasts we had. The Tapa is tender and perfectly cooked with the right flavor. My Mom got their bangus which is also good. Serving size is generous. The Great room (where we had our breakfast) has a cozy atmosphere. They also have a very comfortable Al Fresco area and almost every corner is perfect for pictures. Our stay was memorable. Price point (the B&B and Resto) is a bit higher compared to some places along tagaytay but I think it’s worth it considering the top-notch service and excellent breakfast (at par with 5-star hotels - may be better since honestly I’m not a fan of breakfast buffets). Probably the only drawback (for others) is that there is limited view of Taal (but I heard the view on their Sunflower suite is excellent)

Regards to all staff of Girasol. Highly recommended for those who plans to stay in Tagaytay. Will go...

Randomly opted to stop at this restaurant/B&B for a light meal, and was so glad we did. The food was topnotch!

The Spaghetti Bolognese was so good, I reckon it can hold its own against any pasta Italianni’s throws at it.

Same with the Salmon Pizza (which has a generous amount of caviar on top) - it can put any pizza from Italianni’s or Amici to shame. It’s just that good. However, if the salmon was smoked, the pizza might have even been better, good as it was already.

The Greek Salad was also good. We thought it didn’t come with enough dressing, but this is okay as you can ask for more dressing.

The Lemon Mint Fizz drink was also good, and quite refreshing.

Even the free kopek — which you can ask for refills — was delicious.

As for the staff: they were well trained. They knew the menu items and could explain the key ingredients. They were very friendly, warm, and chatty too. The service was quite efficient, with all our orders getting served under the 15-minute mark.

Lastly, they have enough parking slots for several vehicles, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Overall, there are VERY few restaurants in Tagaytay that we feel are worth the drive to and from Metro Manila, but this is surely one of...
