Tagaytay hotellia

Plussat: Everything. We have a nice stay celebrating my Birthday

Plussat: The hotel gives access to one of the best and most unobstructed views of Taal volcano. Despite the clearly aged infrastructure, the room and other facilities are spotless. Staff are very kind and helpful.

Miinukset: Breakfast was a nightmare, we were not accommodated inside the dining area so we had to settle to sit outside in the lobby in order to eat at our preferred time. Chaffing disks were not refilled, thereby heavily limiting our food choices. Staff were very kind though.

Plussat: Hotel location, room size and amenities

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Room interiors looked old and dated. Buffet breakfast is uninspired.

Plussat: The view

Miinukset: Shower room gets flooded when you use them. The hotel is not handicap friendly. They only have one elevator for the whole hotel guest and staffs use the same elevator.

Plussat: The buffet breakfast and the view. The hotel personnel were nice and very courteous.

Miinukset: The safe in our room was broken and bathroom sink had to be fixed.

Plussat: Most of the staff were great, many of them remembering our name by the second week which added a personal touch. The location is great, with public transport easily accessible as were nearby restaurant and shops.

Miinukset: Room was dirty when we first got there (dust on shelves and floor), had to keep asking for a hand towel almost every day, which was taken away for cleaning despite leaving it on the towel rack. Food a little bit on the expensive side, but plenty of good restaurants close by.

Plussat: Great views and spacious

Miinukset: Not really clean and poor menu for dinner

Plussat: Engineering staff. Food.

Miinukset: Limited recreational facility.

Plussat: clean and affordable

Miinukset: none. everything was great!

Miinukset: Two bulbs directly over the bed were not working

Plussat: The location was convenient since I had a hearing in Calamba on Friday and then I attended a wedding the following day in Tagaytay.

Miinukset: The bed sheets were not clean and the wifi was malfunctioning. We had to call several times to fix the wifi but the bed sheets were not changed at all. The elevator has a very toxic smell which triggered my asthma.

Plussat: Location and a small cake that they prepared for our anniversary.

Miinukset: The smell of the room.

Plussat: Hotel staff are really accommodating and super friendly! They have a parking space if you have a car with you. There's a pool and gym if you like to use them. The family room we booked is big, super clean, and very comfortable! Food selection for breakfast buffet is small but they are all really good! I will definitely consider going back here for our next staycation :)

Miinukset: Location is a bit far by foot from groceries or convenience stores, and if you are planning to commute to and from the hotel, it might be a little harder for you.

Plussat: i booked standard room and they let us stay in the room with view and balcony, the bed are so comfy the view is so relaxing. food is good as well, the staffs is very accommodating and polite

Miinukset: there are mosquitoes

Plussat: Place/ Location. Breakfast, two thumbs up except for the coffee. Staff smiles, the little things :)

Miinukset: Wi-fi was slow. Pool was dirty. Bees inside the restaurant. Coffee was not that good.

Plussat: Breakfast,service and amenities

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were very attentive in hotel and restaurant. Always had a pianist to play both in restaurant and in lobby. Made for very nice ambiance.

Miinukset: Buffet breakfast used to have more selection. Understand that they just reopened after taaal eruption. The staff attentiveness more than made up for it.

Plussat: I like how they were very helpful. Was able to upgrade my room for a view. Staff was very friendly and kind

Miinukset: WiFi connection was weak. Upgrade because room was in the basement and had no cell service

Plussat: we liked the temparature of the aircon even though it was a little humid outside, the aircon was able to give us a comfortable temp. Location of the hotel was also so good. it was very near restaurants and convenient stores! we didn't have to get our car.

Miinukset: Some of the parts of the hotel were under renovation. also, we noticed that the paint on some walls and doors are already peeling off. not a big deal, but it would be remembered by guests too.

Plussat: Nice location and both lake and mountain view are accessible.

Plussat: The hotel offers a perfect view of Taal Volcano, and just a few minutes walk to Robinson’s mall, Bag of Beans, Starbucks, Bars and other restaurants.

Miinukset: Since there were few tourists, breakfast buffet was not available but there are alternative restaurants in the area that offer breakfast buffet.

Plussat: Nice view , huge room and toilet spacious, friendly staff

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Breakfast was so good, my grandkids love their pancakes and the chef was funny that makes them enjoy it, location was great it was near to everything like shopping, foods, playgrounds

Miinukset: too windy on our first room that we can hear the wind and the door next to us was banging it keeps opening/closing and that disturb our sleep, but on the 2nd day of our stay they move us to another room and it was a great quiet room.

Plussat: The location is great. The view of Taal was spectacular.

Miinukset: We were on the 9th floor, it was windy when we stayed. The only issue we had was that the window and door seals facing the window needed serious replacement. The seals did not keep the wind out and the room sounded like a wind tunnel.

Plussat: Amazing location on top of the ridge, easy to get to and well presented. Very clean and the staff were nice (which wasn't a surprise, seeing it is The Philippines!!!) Breakfast each morning was amazing, and it was easy to access transport. Thanks!

Miinukset: Gym wasn't functional whilst we were there - looked like it hadn't been used for a while either.

Plussat: All rooms faced the crater lake. Conveniently located next to a small mall with a grocery store, restaurants and a Starbucks. It was just across the street from the edge of the crater.

Plussat: Activities you can do around the facilities are very good and family oriented.

Plussat: The breakfast was great. They have a lot of options and all of them were delicious.

Miinukset: There was no fitness facility

Plussat: Activities for family members, heated pool and courteous staff and outdoor facilities.

Miinukset: Add more Food and drinks to the menu. Bedings and pillow should be change . Somebody should check on the scent and condition pillow stinks .

Plussat: The kiddie pool

Miinukset: The hotel is very nice

Plussat: Near our wedding reception

Miinukset: Bed is hard to sleep on. Only 2 pillows. Woke up so early due to noise (construction on the 2nd floor & vacuum cleaning on the corridors)

Plussat: The place is best for kids, they love the animals!

Miinukset: The pool was too cold to enjoy.

Plussat: Like the serenity of the place

Miinukset: To improve breakfats food choices

Plussat: Amenities and rooms are perfect. Staff are very courteous, welcoming, and attentive to the needs of the guests. Hassle-free check-in and out. The whole place seems to have been kept in good shape, with scenic spots and sufficient open area where guests can walk leisurely/jog around safely.

Plussat: The room is perfect! The surrounding is quiet..very good for relaxation and destressing from work. Staff are courteous.

Miinukset: Calls to guests should be limited as sometimes it is disturbing. Guests normally make the calls if they need assistance. They are there to get away from the city life so they need to be left alone.

Plussat: I love everything about this property.

Miinukset: Probably the only negative thing is the wifi connection to our room.

Plussat: Anya Resort is accessible from the highway but secluded enough so you can't hear the cars/passing by. The resort has plenty of parking. The lush green scenery is surely a sight for any weary traveller. The room is clean and quiet. The staff were helpful and charming (always greeting you with a smile). Love that I am able to take meditative walks around the resort. Bonus: fast wifi and eco friendly resort.

Plussat: We loved the food (you get a free breakfast every day) the rooms, which were immaculate, the landscaping, which was beautiful and clean, and most especially the staff! They always greeted us with a smile and made us feel really special, from the front desk staff all the way down to house keeping and gardeners. Everything was amazing! Thank you so much Anya for an amazing experience! We'll definitely be back!

Miinukset: The room service and laundry service was over priced in my opinion, and they have a rule of no outside food on the premises, which means you have to eat out or in their restaurant for every meal, which can get really expensive, especially if you are staying for a long time like we did.

Plussat: Good facilities, room is nice and spacious, staff very friendly

Miinukset: Food service by the poolside was very slow. We had to follow up 3x even if there were barely any customers during that time, and waiters barely go to the lower poolside area

Plussat: Ambience, location, receptionist was nice.

Miinukset: Just wish that the pool is heated so guests could still enjoy it during cold days. Also could add more massage therapists to cater to all the guests.

Plussat: we like the weather in tagaytay

Plussat: Serenity and simplicity of the place.

Plussat: Friendly accommodating staff. Niceroom.

Plussat: I booked for our wedding anniversary, We like the bed, very soft and comfortable we had a good night’s sleep. :) The staff are really nice, courteous, friendly, all smiles everytime they see us. We liked the massage except for the oil

Miinukset: Breakfast is limited, not buffet and took them a little while to serve the food. I remember i requested for some anniversary deco on our room but they did not do it. Overall, it’s a pleasant stay.

Plussat: I like the location- it’s peaceful for those who want to ralax and unwind. They have a pool which i think is useful during summer season. The bed is comfortable and rooms are clean.

Miinukset: We had a hard time coming in and out of the property -the gate was closed and the guard was always sound asleep to open the gate. And there’s no front desk during late night/early morning check out -the guard will call the front desk for you if you have concerns or if you’ll check out early cause nobody’s answering. But i still love the place though. I just hope they’ll do something about this matter.

Plussat: Pool was small but ok, big parking space, good location

Miinukset: Tagaytay is a very cold , automatically you should have hot water in every hotel and accommodation but this hotel didn’t have Staff is not very attentive Breakfast is not the best Not ideal for families

Plussat: Staffs are very nice

Miinukset: room and items should be found inside the room doesn't match the description (only things you can find is teacup, instant coffee, wated heater, toiletries, that's all!). Loby is great but moment you went up to floor where rooms are located, halls and lightings are too old and not well maintained. WIFI IS NOT WORKING. Price doesn't match with the quality of the place.

Plussat: The bed is very comfortable

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nothing, the place was nothing like the web site showed.

Miinukset: It was a dump, pool no towels, the door to the room was warped and would not closed well and the safe could be picked-up and you could simply throw it off the balcony if you were thief and the front desk was clueless when I pointed this out. Not done yet: the gym has no aircon, no water, a TV rack but no TV, no towels and all the equipment was rusted beyond belief, the air con in the room (next to the bed) leaked so much water onto the floor, the phone was poor quality and you could not hear the front desk when you called, 1 bath towel and no face towels unless you asked for it, a coffee pot but they do not offer coffee to their guests?

Plussat: The breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The ambience is great. It's self-satisfying.

Miinukset: The breakfast is not buffet. I expected it as buffet just like other hotels.

Miinukset: Just one key provided

Plussat: Perfect place to get away on the busy city life.

Plussat: The serenity , the weather and everything inside the resort.

Miinukset: Breakfast. Adding more food selection maybe

Plussat: What I really like are the hotel staff very accomodating as soon as you arrived. The room that was given to us is more than that we expect. The breakfast is superb. We like it a lot. We will definitely come back.

Miinukset: I like the property a lot however the restaurant Siglo I got a little disappointed with the serving of their food especially the chicken inasal, I was expecting big parts because the picture shown on their menu has big parts but when it was served it was chicken breast part that was cut into small pieces. I didnt enjoy it.

Plussat: Ambiance and safety Food is so delicious

Miinukset: All the staff from security guard up to the Managers are warm and very friendly

Plussat: The staff, sobrang galang and mababait..

Plussat: Quiet place near Picnic Grove

Plussat: filipino cuisine not available my kids want it but american still good for adults not for my kidos

Miinukset: after booking with credit card they still take reservation fee which was refunded after out. not inform about that luckily have extra money to deposit

Plussat: Staffs

Miinukset: The towels are all over used and needs to be change. The rooms are clean but ac are not working properly.

Plussat: breakfast is ok though a bit pricey.location is nice also.

Miinukset: The pool is quite far from our room.

Plussat: The staffs are All friendly

Miinukset: I like the location, I Wana given a room upgrade without extra charge

Plussat: I pretty much liked our stay in general. Everything was great, the room was clean and they accommodated our room request. The facilities were nice too, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: We weren't really able to use the keycard in unlocking our hotel room door and had to ask for help from reception because the panel that unlocks the door has a weak battery. Even so, the staff was really cordial and helpful everytime we asked them to open our door for us.

Miinukset: The staff tried to lie to us, in order to change room for the cheap one while I paid for the most expensive one. All of this for not to work in the expensive rooms house because we been the only one there. After they took us to the cheap rooms he even said this one is the most expensive while I was already in this hotel and I knew what is the best rooms. I will never return to this place again.

Plussat: Our stay was excellent with a good room, good service and good views from our room.

Miinukset: When making the booking, booking dot com said the terms were payment on arrival. The hotel actually took full payment from our account 10 days prior to our arrival of $1700 and when we arrived the initial room offered did not meet our expectations. However on payment of an additional $200 we got what we wanted.

Plussat: The location and ambiance are very good . The friendly staff specially the security guard Marlon was very much appreciated. We enjoyed the small malls and stalls and the "Kubo Restaurant" and appreciated the efficient service of waiter Melvin.

Miinukset: Nothing to complaint of except the low pressure of the shower head.

Plussat: easy access to parking lot

Miinukset: everything old dirty rooms ( not worth for its price ) stinky bathroom ( flush isnt working ) picture posted below is our room window view

Plussat: Rooms are spacious... recommendable..

Miinukset: Pool is not well maintained during our stay.

Plussat: Staff in general are friendly, especially the security guard, he is so friendly.

Miinukset: The whole facility needs major upgrade seriously.....

Plussat: Location. Amazing view. Home comforts.

Miinukset: Food could be better.

Plussat: Relaxing and clean and quite.

Miinukset: Not enough parking and they don’t serve food at night.

Plussat: I’ve been a frequent guest of Joaquin’s Bed and Breakfast. Their garden rooms are my favorite, simply because it gives me that unobstructed view of Taal Lake from sunset to sunrise the next day. The room is spacious for two, cozy and private, hence, all the quiet you need to relax and rest. Plus, the signature smell of lavender mixed with eucalyptus is such a sensory delight every time you enter the room. Another thing I love is their “silog” breakfast offers, my personal favorite is the Tawilis, a fresh water sardine, endemic to Taal. Unfortunately, due to over-harvesting they no longer offer it. In the several times I’ve been to Joaquin’s, it is always unavailable. But still, there are other yummy choices such as dangit, tuyo, crispy and boneless dilis, all served with 2 eggs, garlic fried rice, and choice of fresh coffee or hot Choco. It may sound simple, but if you’re having it while the sun is rising and you catch the last moments of fog lifting above Taal Lake...that breakfast is awesome! Their staff are genuinely nice and friendly, they give you the space you need but are readily available when you need them. I really hope that all the staff at Joaquin’s are ok, especially right after the volcano eruption. We are looking forward to going back there again, soon.

Miinukset: That the Tawilis are gone. And that I always miss out on queen bed’s availability.

Plussat: I like the bed being so comfortable, I just want to sleep all day. The essential oil smell is very relaxing. It got a spectacular view. Breakfast was ohhh so good. :)

Miinukset: The heater in the shower is not working well, we kept on adjusting the temp, it's either too cold or too hot. Maybe because it is old, it would be good to have it checked and cleaned. The faucet in the sink is very small and short. Also, there were some mosquitoes flying the cr due to the open outer window, must have a way to ensure clients are safe from mosquitoes.

Plussat: The rooms were lovely. Great view.

Miinukset: The location is a little out of the way. You need to catch a jeepney to get anywhere.

Plussat: I like the staff, the breakfast, the location, the view.

Miinukset: None.
