The building is pretty.. the only thing I don't like about this place is the guy in the pool area. He was the person in the hotel in charge of the pool side bar, towels and etc.. when we asked for extra pool towels due to their towels were too thin and it's gets wet easily, he made comment saying we were asking excessive amount of pool towels. He was watching us the whole time at the pool, moved the lounge chair in front of the bar and watched us swimming which made me feel uncomfortable. He's rude to the guests. This place is okay, nothing special. I will not come back here next time.

One last note on the hotel front desk. Bells were provided per suite but there must be an in-room telephone for the immediate needs of guests.

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.

Customer service is excellent. All the staff we came across with was great. Andrei at the front desk was welcoming however there was a snafu with breakfast buffet with the lady at breakfast check in. The lady had us down for 3 adults and 1 child when Andrei charged us additional 2,000 pesos per day for our child and was counted as adult due to our child's age. Anything above 12 is considered an adult. They didn't inform us that during booking. With the additional charge, we were told the price was inclusive of the breakfast buffet for the days we are here. The housekeeping staff was excellent and amazing. They came by several times to bring us towels, slippers and toiletries. There was also a water refill station outside our hotel room. Our room had an excellent view of the Taal Volcano. Our room also had a pretty balcony with table and chairs. Breakfast buffet was delicious and replenished throughout the time we were having breakfast. There are plenty of variety and food options for buffet from fresh fruits to waffles, pancakes and the traditional Filipino breakfast. There's too many to mention. They served classic Filipino traditional breakfast along with American, Chinese, Korean and Mexican style breakfast. They also offered a variety of freshly squeezed juices and breads. Along with freshly brewed coffee, hot chocolate and tea. Oh the icing on the cake were 3 men serenading you with live performance and instruments on hand. Will share our experience at Taal Vista Hotel with all our friends and family when we go back home.

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.

The balcony door was broken, but I decided to overlook that until I stepped into the bathroom and found flies. And it didn't stop there. The faucet was corroded and broken, and mold and mildew covered the shower & shower doors. Also the shelving was stained and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I went downstairs to speak with the receptionist, and asked if I had taken pictures or video. I just looked at her and asked for the manager. He asked to look at it together and looked surprised when he saw the room himself, he called the housekeeping manager to ask what happened. Both of them looked stressed. I pointed out the mildew and told them that doesn't build up in days, it takes weeks, so this room clearly hadn't been properly cleaned. While we were talking, I also noticed every door in the room had visible staining from who knows what. They had no explanation, so they offered to move me to another room. That one was just as bad, so I walked out of the hotel. Since I'd booked through my credit card company, the hotel couldn't refund me directly that day. I ended up filing a formal complaint with my credit card company, and I was refunded through them instead.

The hotel was pretty, the room was cozy and comfortable, the food was great, and nothing beats staying in a hotel in Tagaytay that has a lake view.

I guess that's what a lakeview does to the listed price.

I also saw on their website that the hotel is pretty quirky, and being the artsy traveller that I am, I took a quick liking to the place. When I got there, the photos did not do justice to the hotel. It was so adorably pretty, with so many interesting items and conversation pieces, I could just stay in the lobby all day. Well, not really. Their rooms are beautiful, too. Spacious, neatly laid out and with amenities like day beds, an iPod dock, etcetera. They also have a spa, which I of course tried. I like the thought that in such a small hotel, there's a spa and you can have a massage done, cross the hallway or climb a flight of stairs and you're right at your room. Another feature I like about the hotel is their dining and lounge area at the back where you can play board games or read books readily available, while eating or having a cup of coffee, with a nice view of the Taal Volcano and Lake, of course.

The great landscape and the rustic vibe gives off that laid back nature that you can only experience in the province. What's also great is the cold weather in Tagaytay if you're really sick of the humid and polluted Manila. You won't even need to turn on the AC but you need to bring an insect repellent to shoo away the bugs that might seep through. It's also one of the few hotels that makes you appreciate the Philippine culture because of the interior design and the materials used. It's like staying inside a museum. The place is also perfect for reading because of the fresh air and the nature that you can overlook. Their breakfast is also to look out for. If only I could stay here and not return to Manila anymore.

The herb roasted chicken is definitely my biggest recommendation here, as it's so delicious and smells amazing. Their binagoongan rice is also excellent, and goes well with your meals. Our party was mixed with both a la carte and their prix fixe classic menu that already had set courses, which ended up confusing our table a little bit (how to tell your lola they can't eat my bread...) so I recommend sticking to one type for all if possible. The servers kept it under control though and were friendly, had good rapport with our family, and kept everything refilled. We came on a weekday lunch and it was empty, and felt like we had the entire venue for a private lunch - highly recommend if you're able to come during the week!
