A very welcome change is the complex built by Robinson's Land collectively called Summit Ridge. Aside from the hotel, it's a very convenient stop as the shopping or mall area has several restaurants like Gilligan's, Razon's, Shakey's, Hap Chan, Starbucks, etcetera. There are also specialty stores at the second level for other needs. What I like most about Summit Ridge is that there's a supermarket (Robinson's, ofcourse) where we can get last minute or emergency stuff we fail to bring to an out of town trip. There's also several stalls (tiangge) in the open area selling an assortment of items from clothes, shoes, souvenir items and even delicacies. For those who do not necessarily intend to purchase anything and just need a toilet break, you'll be glad to know that theirs is quite spacious and kept relatively clean most of the time.

Nuvali is a great place to stop by if you're heading to or fro Tagaytay. It's also a great place to…read moretake your family, pets or barkada during the weekends. It's the perfect balance of an urban and rural atmosphere. This property emphasizes on environmental sustainability which I believe every city should adapt. There's greenery, fresh air, a lake and a shopping center. Solenad 1 is the first strip mall of Nuvali where the lake is located. You can have a boat tour around the area, feed the coy fishes and eat by the lake. There are bike lanes as well for leisurely or exercising purposes. With the countless activities, shops and restaurants you can choose from, I can definitely see this place being incorporated in a lot of peoples family days or weekends.

They have clothing, shoes, lingerie, accessories, skin care, scents and even snacks. The company that made Bench has also brought some international clothing brands in the country. Their biggest Pinoy outlet store is located in Nuvali; it offers not only your favorite Bench products, but that from the other Bench brands and franchises as well such as Kashieca, Aldo, Human, Celio, La Senza and my favorite, Mothercare. All of these at a mark down price. Bench is affordable enough in the malls, even more at this outlet store. I like buying baby clothes from Mothercare and though the Mothercare section here is too,small, it's still a good place to buy your babies' clothes and things. Some items might be a little outdated, but they're all still in good condition. As it is with bargain stores, you just have to have the eye and the patience to spot some awesome finds.

If nothing else had gone right with hotel this lady ensured I would have left with a good impression. Fortunately everything about the hotel was exceptional, and I don't give praise lightly. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service in both bar where we had lunch and restaurant where we had dinner. Food was beyond good and great value for money and service in both places attentive and efficient. Room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I could go on but suffice it to say I was very pleased with my stay, and although short and sweet this time, I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

I also received 10% off my total purchase so definitely was a great buy and great deal. Thank you Kultura Butik. We will be back in Tagaytay next year when we come vacation in the Philippines.

This is why it was such a delight to discover Kultura Butik during my latest trip to Taal Vista Hotel. I found souvenir items that were specifically made for Taal Vista and Tagaytay, which were obviously geared towards tourists. For a frequent visitor like me, I was particularly delighted by their selection of bags and pouches that had beautiful and funky graphic prints, resembling and inspired by traditional weave patterns of indigenous tribes form all over the Philippines. Despite having several pouches and coin purses that haven't been used in my cabinet, I couldn't resist getting one. Well, not for myself, but as a "gift on reserve" for those times when I'm suddenly invited to a birthday party and I have no time to buy a gift. Again, pushing for "our very own" with every chance I get. Hooray for patriotism! Hooray for local talent! Hooray for me and you!

This cozy, well-designed mall fits the relaxing vibe of Tagaytay perfectly. It has a nice mix of stores, from popular brands to local shops, so there's something for everyone. The dining options are excellent, with plenty of choices for casual meals, coffee, or desserts. The outdoor seating areas and greenery add a refreshing touch, making it feel more like a garden than a typical mall. The mall isn't too big, so it's easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed. There's also a supermarket and a cinema, making it convenient for both locals and visitors. Parking is usually easy to find, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Whether you're looking to shop, eat, or relax, Serin Ayala Mall is a lovely spot to visit in Tagaytay!

Indeed, this mini mall (let's call it that) is only two floors, and most of its second floor is occupied by the Hypermarket. Don't get us wrong, though. We actually like it here. It the closest mall to where we live (it actually stands on the entrance of our subdivision, Citihomes, so we have to pass it on our way to school or work and back home). It has made grocery shopping and film viewing, among other things, so convenient for us. Aside from Hypermarket, this SM Center has Watson's, National Bookstore, CD-R King, Bench, Penshoppe, Preppy, Mendrez, Get Laud, Blue Magic, Rusty Lopez, Oxygen, Unisilver, etc., for your shopping needs. Meanwhile, for the foodies, it has Greenwich, Domino's, Max's, Chowking, KFC, Mang Inasal, Jollibee, Red Ribbon, Pizza Hut, and Goldilocks, etc. It also houses a few hair and nail salons, a massage service, skin clinics, a music store, a sports store, a courier service, and an Internet cafe. What is also great is that this place is a techy haven, with Globe, Smart, and Sun shops, as well as so many stalls and stores for mobile phones and computers and accessories. The mall is currently in the midst of a huge renovation, which probably means it won't be a mini mall for long. We don't look forward to the heavier traffic this will bring to our little part of town, but we can't wait to have more shops to explore when the construction finishes.

The lighting? Probably a combination of these and countless other factors. The District Imus is no different. And I like that about this mall. That this mall has some of my family's favorite restaurants has also placed it on top of our weekend list: it has Blackbeard's Seafood Island, Gerry's Grill, J.Co, Starbucks, and of course, Sumo Sam (!!!) Apart from its nice layout, which creatively divides the mall to sections (there's an area for food, an area for shopping, and area for groceries, etc.), one of our primary reasons for always coming here is we can bring our dog along. Yes, even inside the selling areas (the grocery, the department store, etc.). They do require canines to be placed in a bag, though, so it's definitely a blessing that my pooch just weighs around five to six kilos, otherwise, I'll just leave him home (which he hates).
