Our Taal Vista Hotel Staycation

What joy it was when I had a staycation in Taal Vista Hotel with someone special. After picking up Sue at the airport, we went straight to Coastal bus terminal where we got a ride going to Tagaytay. Got off the other side of the "forked" road. From there, we took a tricycle going to the hotel.

We arrived at the hotel around 10pm. Good thing valet service picked us up by the gate. Checked in and settled in our room.

Hotel lobby..

The room was just gorgeous! Ours was located at the Lake Wing. Talk about an overlooking view of the Taal Lake. But that was enjoyed the next day; for now, it was more of the city lights.

Although tired from the trip, me and Sue went out to grab something to eat. Our initial plan was to go to McDonald's which is just across the hotel but unfortunately it was closed for renovation. We decided to have bulalo in Don Juan Bulalo Restaurant. Good thing it's open 24 hours. Perfect meal for a cool weather.

Back in the hotel, we simply tugged ourselves in bed while watching television until we fell asleep.

Rise and shine!

View from our room's veranda..

What a beautiful day it was to wake up with an amazing view by the veranda and a beautiful lady by your side. ^_^

After taking that much deserved bath, we went down to Cafe Veranda for our buffet breakfast. The day's menu was a mixed of Filipino and American cuisine. We had danggit, sausage, omelet, soup and lots of bacon. I was also introduced to the Cafe's chef, chef Edwin. He prepared us tawilis as compliment. Yum!

Breakfast was satisfying plus the factor that area was facing the Taal Lake view.

After that hearty meal, we went around the hotel premises and explore.

I was planning on taking a dip in the pool but I decided not to and just chill by the poolside because of the cold, foggy weather.

It's almost an hour before checking out, we went back to our room, fixed our stuff, freshen up and checked out. Time flew so fast that the our stay seemed short yet we enjoyed our stay. Hope to come back for another relaxing staycation at Taal Vista Hotel.
