Of all the days to pick, we went to Tagaytay on a weekend the TAAL volcano was emitting ash. Left…read moreManila on a Friday early morning and the drive was smooth. We were a party of four with friends vacationing from the US. We booked in advance at booking.com.... the hotel was delightful. Clean and spacious. The lobby and the rooms we chose were overlooking the volcano. Of course, when we got there, the steam/ash from the volcano was covering the view. Nevertheless, the hotel has much to offer. We checked in at 2pm. The guests were few as we were allowed to check-in early. Normally, it's a 4pm check-in with a 2pm check-out. After relaxing at our rooms for a couple of hours, we decided to do the SPA. Best decsion we did that day. By the way they have an ice cream 'caritela' at the lobby . You must try the chocnut flavored ice-cream... the avocado too! All four of us truly enjoyed The VEDERA SPA. We did the 60 minute body scrub and 60 minute massage for 2800 pesos each. That was rejuvenating and relaxing. Our skin felt smooth and soft after the scrub and the massage, solid excellence - you can tell the staff are well trained therapist. Not just fly-by-day masseuse. After the massage, we had dinner indoors due to the ash fall. There was simple entertainment with a female singer accompanied by male guitarist. Pleasant tones I say. Even sang our requested songs. Come morning, the buffet was scrumptious. Tiny fried fishes were a favorite at our table. 'Tawilis' I believe. So many food options and they had TAHO!!! My childhood breakfast food...how wonderful was that! The buffet had all-american and filipino dishes. Oh and the steam/ash died down in the morning. Giving us a great view for breakfast. The concierge, counter staff, servers as well as the spa staff were great. Real assets of this hotel. Everyone was in smiles and ready to help at all times. Our young server even took amazing pictures of us. BRAVO ESCALA, keep up the good work.

During Easter Sunday, my husband and I wanted to find someplace special to spend the afternoon, so…read morewe decided to drive up to Tagaytay -- one of the Philippines' most beloved resort and tourist destinations. Tagaytay sits high in the mountains overlooking Taal Volcano and Taal Lake, offering some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. The elevation gives the city a much cooler climate than Metro Manila, which honestly is part of the appeal. After the heat and traffic of the lowlands, arriving in Tagaytay almost feels like stepping into another world entirely. The views overlooking the volcano are absolutely spectacular. Taal itself is fascinating because it is one of the world's smallest active volcanoes, sitting within a lake, which itself sits inside a larger volcanic caldera. The entire landscape has this dramatic beauty to it when viewed from the ridge roads and hotels perched high above the lake. For our Easter brunch, we chose the famous Taal Vista Hotel, which has one of the prime viewing locations in the area. The buffet itself was wonderful. There were many distinctive offerings ranging from Filipino dishes to international selections, along with a large assortment of desserts and breads. Everything felt fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. The service throughout brunch was also excellent -- attentive, warm, and polished in that distinctly Filipino way that always makes guests feel genuinely welcomed. But honestly, one of the most memorable parts of the experience was the entertainment. Throughout brunch, there were traditional Filipino folk dancers and performers moving through the dining area performing cultural dances in vibrant historical costumes. The music, movement, and dramatic presentation added so much atmosphere to the meal. It transformed brunch from simply eating into something celebratory and immersive. After we finished eating, my husband and I wandered outside to stroll along the viewing areas overlooking the volcano and lake below. The weather was absolutely beautiful -- cool breezes, soft clouds drifting over the mountains, and that peaceful Tagaytay atmosphere that always makes you want to linger a little longer than you planned. It turned into a truly lovely Easter Sunday together.

We had the most awful experience at this hotel--so bad that we decided to leave mid-stay. Upon…read morearriving, we discovered rubbish on the bedroom floor, water leaking in the restroom, internet not working, lights out of order, and an air conditioner that dripped directly onto our faces while we slept. Despite reporting these issues at 8AM in the next morning, by six in the evening nothing had been addressed. It took multiple phone calls just to get the floor cleaned, and the other problems were never fixed during our stay. The hotel itself was filthy, with trash in the hallways and dirty linen everywhere. Even the restaurant floor was very dirty, and the breakfast was both poor in quality and had to be ordered the day before. Adding to the disappointment, the spa was closed for the holiday season, and the hotel manager, which we asked to speak to several times, was apparently on holiday too the whole time--or simply unwilling to speak with us. When we arrived the second night and parked in the same spot as before and instructed by other security, a security guard came aggressive and screamed at us to move out because it was supposedly a reserved area "do you understand me". We ended up parking 800 meters away in pouring rain, which was the final straw that convinced us to leave. Making matters worse, none of the hotel's contact numbers given and across the internet works, so it is nearly impossible to reach anyone for help or an update on our refund. We requested a refund when we checked out early, but we still have not received any reimbursement. Overall, we strongly recommend that you save yourself the stress and avoid this hotel. The combination of poor hygiene, absent and unresponsive management, aggressive security staff, and terrible customer service makes it one of the worst accommodations we have ever experienced.

I have to say, I was impressed with not only the customer service, the free breakfast in the morning, but the entire comfortable feeling I had being in Tagaytay for the first time. It is a bit far from the malls but it is only a jeepney ride away. Want to give special shout out to Rommel (I think one of the managers) who made sure our stay here was the best (which it was). All friends and family visiting from the states, I recommend this place (Penthouse). The only thing I recommend - for how often it rains, I would consider building a shelter for the pool. Outdoor pool seems impractical for the unpredictable rain, fog and cold breeze.

Rooms inside the hotel are very spacious and fitted with a grand view of Taal Lake and the Taal Volcano. Inside is a restaurant served by Barrio Fiesta (a popular restaurant from Manila) which prepares Filipino delicacies for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The hotel also provides many conference rooms for events and meetings, as well as a large ballroom and reception area for weddings, debuts and other special events. Additionally the hotel owners have a private chapel next door to accommodate any of these events. Today we celebrated a family reunion and the hotel was able to accommodate a party of over 30+ in the restaurant. We were also able to have a tour of the hotel and the chapel next door which fortified the 5 star rating that guests claim for Hotel Alta D' Tagaytay

Me and my family found the place very cozy and homey. The place had paintings, frames, designs, and other trinkets that made it feel like a house. Their bathrooms were also very clean.We later found out that it was a family owned hotel and restaurant built in honor of the parents. Because we were in Tagaytay, we had to try their Bulalo. It was the kind of Bulalo that you know is pure beef, no beef cubes used. The vegetables were fresh, the meat was tender and the broth was delicious. We knew that we found one of the best Bulalos in Tagaytay. Other than Filipino dishes, Morielli's also serves Gourmet Sandwiches, Italian Pasta and other cuisines. Aside from the food, the experience was very personal because the staff was engaging and we read about the family that owned the place and the very sweet Father-and-Son chefs. After our meal, the staff handed us cards/certificates that had our names on them, what it meant, and our qualities as a person. It was really touching and heartwarming indeed. After that, I just wanted to check-in and stay for a few days. This place felt like home; relaxing and very personal. Even if we just stayed for lunch.
