We arrived in the afternoon at around past 3 pm and were immediately sent to our designated rooms after a quick chit chat in the front office. Their front office is situated in front of a vast literal playground. It is an actual playground for basketball, volleyball, open area and play place equipped with swings, see-saws and slides. Great for outdoor activities and team building workshops.Great for kids and kids at heart as well. The casitas were equipped with one common bathroom and a kitchen area plus a sala that can also be made into another room were spacey and suitable for groups and families. As for the premiere and junior villas were equipped with one common bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and dinner table good for 4-6 pax. For our junior villa, where we were checked in, there are 2 terraces on both sides of the villa. It is situated on the second floor equipped with veranda/porch lights. Bathroom has a bidet, sink, bath tub and hot and cold shower. They provided us with a shampoo dispenser and an individually wrapped soap. The junior villa can accommodate up to a maximum of 8 pax since the 2 beds per room with pull out beds under each are found in the 2 bedroom villa. The view on the left side of the villa are pineapple farms whereas at the back is a landscape and parking area where the new villas are built. It as quiet all throughout our stay since the place prohibits a lot of noise and partying which was great for retreats and R and Rs. Breakfast, dinners, lunches and snacks are served at the Garden Cafe. There's unlimited brewed coffee in the morning and hot and cold water from 2 water dispensers at the restaurant. In front of the villas, is another wide space for family or group activities great for picture taking and simply just for fun with the kids and again, kids at heart. Facing this area, on your right is a separate parking lot with a high fence maybe to limit where the people go to avoid accidents when guests are parking their vehicles or arriving/leaving the premises. Two very cute and homey rabbits roam the whole area. Sometimes, you find them in the parking lot, playground area and cafe gnawing on fresh vegetation and grass. Staff are friendly and approachable and are on duty 24/7. Also, the cafe and villas are equipped with wifi. The breakfast was composed of scrambled eggs, 2 pieces longganisa, rice, 1 banana and unlimited brewed coffee with sugar and creamer. Snacks were tuna sandwich and water on the first day and pansit with bread and pineapple juice the second day. Dinner was superb composed of fish fillet with curry and herb sauce, grilled liempo with either sweet liver sauce (Mang Tomas) or vinegar, and grilled chicken with herbs plus rice of course and melon juice for drinks. Lunch the following day before we left was composed of spicy caldereta, steamed tilapia with tomatoes and onions, grilled eggplant with sauteed shrimp paste, chilled sweet fruit salad and iced tea for drinks. 15-30 minutes away from Our Lady of Manaoag Shrine, Picnic Grove and People's Park in the Sky. 15-30 minutes away from Sonya's Garden, Alfonso, Summit Ridge, Bag of Beans, Taal Vista, Rowena's, Fruit Market and Mahogany. Generally, it was a very pleasant visit. #may2018...
Read moreTwo days prior to intended stay, I sent sms to them asking about room availability. I promptly got a polite phone call to inform and confirm the details. appreciate this kind of gesture.||||During our stay, they allowed early check in with possible additional per hour charge depending on our check out time. This kind of flexibility is great specially for a family with kid/s.||||The 2BR deluxe room is spacious. You can request type of beds per room. There's cable TV in the living area; both rooms have a/c, one also with fan. Dining area sits 4 plus there are arm chairs available. It is indicated though that cooking utensils/facility are available but upon checking, I would rather not use them. Still not bad since they have room service (from their resto), with additional 15% charge. Food is not outstanding but not bad. Bulalo is melt in your mouth though. Do order it!||||Spa is reasonably priced. My mom had the massage in our room, while my husband and I had it in their spa area. Same price either way.||||My kid looooved the playground. it is sloping though so one has to be careful that the kids dont trip over. We didnt try the pool, but looks OK.||||What we love with this place is that it is relatively nearer (just after Ming's) and far from the hustle and bustle of Tagaytay proper. On a busy weekend, this is...
Read moreIt's a great place for family bondings, barkada bondings, corporate team buildings and even wedding events. The place is big enough to hold wedding events, they have accomodations that is very affordable which starts at 3,100 for standard room w/o bfast and 3,300 with bfast and as high as 5,800 to 6,400 with bfast for their 2 bedroom units. They have a huge parking space for the cars. An open grass space with swings and slide for the kids to run around and place. Also they have swimming pool to soak in and enjoy... Their service and foods are at par with hotels but not too pricey, they also serve signature food dishes which is native to their place, like "tinapang salinas, crispy tawilis" and the likes... All in all, i wasn't expecting a superb food, service and place that offers cozy, relaxing, intimate and yet cozy place for family, friends and corporate teams that can enjoy their stay... I highly recomend this place... It ticks all the boxes in my list. service, food, ambiance, proximity, cleanliness and most importantly price... I would definitely come back again and recomend it to my friends and family... thank you PIŃA COLINA! i have enjoyed my stay... I'll see you...
