Taal Vista Hotel: A great place to stay in

[Djerms]

Just needed to post my comments on this hotel after reading some negative feedbacks.

Upon entrance, the guards greeted us and guided us to the parking area. Parking space was adequate and safe. At the front desk, the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Was even surprised that one of them told me that they have a promo of only P4,100.00 for the overnight stay, which includes breakfast for 2. I was prepared to pay the original price (quoted thru phone conversation and reservation) of P5,500.00. It put a WIDE smile on my face knowing that I have extra money to spare .

The place was not that crowded so we really enjoyed strolling and enjoying the view of taal at the view deck.

Breakfast was also good. Not that special but above par .

We enjoyed the place...the best view of taal, very friendly and helpful staff, and a nice comfortable room.

p.s.: I think its a good idea for them to make their parking fees expensive at 100 petot (this is free for booked guests) for the booked guests to enjoy more privacy and security.

By the way, they are expanding their hotel...

On our way home, we decided to visit talisay via the rough road (testing my dmax..hehe). Thanks to Afrasay for the directions and for directing us to Aling Gloria's kainan...sarap ng fud!

Was even surprised that one of them told me that they have a promo of only P1,400.00 for the overnight stay, which includes breakfast for 2.

sir djerms,

hanggang kelan po ung promo na P1,400??

thanks!

[Innova_Boy]

Yeah, until when is this 1400 promo??


WBR,

[ssaloon]

+1 on the promo. sobrang sulit yun!!

[junnquinto2006]

how can we avail of the promo?

[Djerms]

Sorry for the typo. Its P4,100 and not P1,400. Hehe. Sulit pa rin IMO considering the nice pool, the nice view, the good clean room and the spacious loaction.

Holy Crap! Okay lang basta ***y ghost hehe.

Parang masarap yung Aling Gloria's kainan. Paano ba pumunta dun? The last time I went down to Talisay the road was well paved, or is there another way? Sarap mag food trip. Thanks in advance.

[NightRock]

dati ang susunigit ng mga Staff dyan?? under new management na ba yan?

ok na rin, save ka pa rin ng php 1,400.00 sakto na pang gas puntang tagaytay...

Landlord: May way na all paved road at may way din na dirt road. I opted the dirt road para naman mas sulit. hehe. Ang entrance nung road is at the back of the Rotunda if youre coming from aguinaldo hway.

evs_13: Tumpak. May kaunting sukli pa pang chibog. hehe.

Taal Vista is under Fuego hotels. I think its also owned by SM. May nagsasabi dati na masusungit ang mga staff pero para sakin, they are one of the friendliest. Consistent sila like the other fuego hotel, Pearl Farm in Davao.

Djerms: ang tapang mong dumaan doon sa Old Talisay Road a . Ako never ng dumaan doon na walang ka-convoy, grabe ang experience namin dyan, hair-raising talaga. saka sobrang kipot ng daan pag may kasalubong. at pag minalas sobrang tulis ng mga bato para sa gulong. haaaaay

Thanks, I've always wondered saan papunta yung road na yon. Masubukan nga at maka kain ng tawilis atbpa sa Talisay.

Haven't spent more than lunch at Taal Vista. My last visit was about two years ago, and before that perhaps at least 3 more years. Based on my last visit, they had improved Taal Vista Lodge and made it into a Hotel. Based on the coffeeshop, it seemed like a Makati 5-star resto. Relatively Makati prices, too, though.

Hey there Djerms

Glad you enjoyed your accomodations.

Had the same experience myself.

It's really nice place.

I'm curious about Aling Gloria's. Can you give us directions?

I'd like to visit it the next time I'm there.

:regards:

Hardcharger: Napakadali lang magpunta kila Aling Gloria from the rough road to talisay, just turn left when you reach the main road. Mga few steps lang andun na yung sign ni Aling Gloria sa right side. Ang sarap ng tilapia. Ang laki pa. Good for 2-3.

Landlord: Nung nagpunta kami, wala na tawilis. Dapat daw early morning magpunta kasi yun ang time ng hango nila. Mabilis kasi mabilasa ang tawilis according to the caretaker.

Bunge: Medyo malalaki nga ang mga bato pero okay lang. I just kept my fingers crossed. Pero it'll be a piece of cake for our resident offroaders. Hindi nga umangat gulong ko sa lupa. hehe. Basta wag lang siguro magtatravel dun at night. Nakakatakot. hehe.

Sana maaga kayo at naka pag boat ride and hike to the crater ng Taal volcano. Ganda din dun sa rim ng crater where you can see shrimps na kulay orange pero buhay pa. Tilapia din pala kinain ninyo...sarap nun lalo na pag well done...teka gutom na ako.
