Jerellt and I initially planned of going to Batangas for a beach
outing - either Virgin Beach Resort or Palm Beach Resort.
Unfortunately, the latter was fully booked and Virgin beach was quite expensive (sa totoo wala kasing pool dun :p) so
she just told me to have a Tagaytay get-away instead. Coincidentally, the hotel she wanted
us to stay in was the one that I already chose for my own Tagaytay
adventure (selfish ako bakit?). I haven't been to Tagaytay via bus and that's all what I wanted to try.
Good thing though that I haven't made any reservation yet. Hihi.
Our room also has a veranda with a view of a subdivision. Hihi.
The hotel
also has a swimming pool that looked so deceiving in Internet pictures. Some
just made it look so big but it wasn't! Pede lang magbabad pero di ka makaka swim. The hotel also noted that the pool
opens at 9am but there were already people before the indicated time. Some guests
were also not wearing proper swim wear that is so unhygienic. On our next day, we had
the chance to try their pool since there are fewer people using it. And it became
lesser when it started to rain. Hihi.
Overall, I liked the hotel and the experience. The
receptionists were nice, the staffs were polite, the room and our bed were so lovely. But here are the things I didn't like: the empty boxes of toothbrush, the smell of cigarette smoke along the
hallway plus the super mini swimming pool.

Anyway, we went there riding my friend's car (di ko talaga ma try ang commute, sosyal na friend ko ngayon). :p We
met past 9 in the morning and reached Tagaytay early before 11am. We haven't
had a hard time looking for the place because there were signages along the
way plus Boyps printed a map plus Je brought her laptop and downloaded some directions from the internet. Also, the label outside the hotel is quite huge to miss.
One Tagaytay Place is more of a condo-type hotel. We approached
the receptionist and ask if they allow early check-in but they weren't. So we just
had our lunch first and a quick tour at the Cliff house (on separate post). We were back at the
hotel at exactly two in the afternoon and checking in was so easy. We were served with welcome
drinks while waiting for our room keys. We were asked to deposit Php 3000 (for
the 2 rooms) upon check-in which is reimbursable during check-out.
We booked two separate rooms. Boyps and I had a deluxe twin
room while Je reserved a "more sasyal"
one bedroom suite. Hihi. Our room has 2 single beds, a cable TV, tables, drawers and cabinet, bathroom with hot and cold shower. The hotel was also equip with a strong Wi-Fi connection. Password is given along with the room card key.
The bed and pillow are so soft, the sheets smells so good, that it gave me a very good night sleep.
We just watched TV all day. Boyps and I went to Je's room just to chat and watch TV again. Bwaha
Complementary bottled water and coffee sachets were also provided by the hotel. We also have refrigerator, a thermos, glasses and cups with saucers.
The bathroom was clean and spacious enough. The hotel has provided free toiletries, bedroom slippers, and hand and body towels.

ReplyDeletegrabe nu? 1 year na nakalipas.. well almost.. hahaha.. uu wait =)) sabay na sa buffet nung dinner hahahaha..
DeleteFree overnight stay & free cocktail buffet? Ito ang expereince namin ng husband ko na nanalo daw kami sa puregold ng overnight stay & we asked what is this trick or gimik they said "no financial obligatios" we came all the way to batangas to tagaytay (raining) para ma-avail namin ang accomodation kono, tinanong namin kung maaavail ba tonight ang sabi ng contact person -marketing assistant/ ibang number- receptionist/ travel agent iba-ibang number ng phone na ok u can avail it but not directly sinabi na ung gabing yon! Grabe free 1 spoon of spaghetti & 1 spoon of carbonara un lang! pagkatapos sabi i-to-tour kami ng 90 mins to 2 hours ( para mapagod na ung mga ininbitahan nila at magcheck-in- mgt strategy na bagsak/no good!) So the receptionist habang kumakain ka pa sasabihin Ma'am /sir tapos na? how ignorant /bastos to asked you while u r still drinking their water. Tapos ito-tour kayo sa mga small rooms na 6800 ang price the cheapest tapos dadalhin ka sa 10th flr to show their swimming pool kuno (yucky) pero 2nd flr palang i asked the girl this time again (in-person not by phone call or text na kung maa-avail ba namin ang free accomodation for couples daw bla! she said no maam after 15 days! So i told her I'm done with this bullshit i don't want to go to the next flr & i want to talk to ur manager, she said i will call her she is in ortigas daw??? DI pa namin alam kung magkano lang ang worth ng gift cert. baka 10% lang out of 100% ex. 6800/rm.the cheapest daw. Ung ibang inimbitahan nalugmok din sa nalaman nila they came from laguna, batangas, cavite ung malalayo talaga para di na makauwi kasi ang schedule nila 5:30 pm to claim daw kuno sa GC at tatanungin ka pa pagfill-up u pa lang ng form sa Puregold kung financilayy stable ka, what ur job, business etc etc.. Ung iba may dala pang bata. Umalis kami pagkatapos ng complaint sa kanila. Kaya itong ginagawa nila sa tao to promote their hotel bagsak lalo kasi naging pasikot sikot pa sila parang mga thieves na mapanlinlang!!!! Tell this to ur friends & family if Puregold tell u to get ur receipts sa supermarket at pa-pifill-upin kayo ng fomr lahat ng ito ay FUCKUNG BULLSSHIT! ANG NAKIKITRA NAMING MGA GUEST (SELDOM/SMALL) UNG MGA CHINESSE NA NALOKO NILA AT TAYONG MG PINOY ALAM NA...TOO MUCH PRICE TO A VERY SMALL RM AND LITTLE FOOD AND BAD SERVICE. MGA MANLOLOKO!!!TSK..TSK...
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone see if u will not publish it ( bad comments about ur fucking hotel)! bunch of BS. We will publish it in fb then!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I apologize for I was not able to publish your comment immediately because I'm too busy with my work. I'm so sad with your experience but I just don't understand why you are so mad. I just want you to know that I am not related to One Tagaytay Place, I was just a GUEST, so for any concerns, kindly direct it to them.
DeleteThanks!
Dear Anonymous Commenter - Just so you know, this is a personal blog! The blogger is just writing her personal experience of the hotel. She is in no way related to the hotel and its owners. If you have complaints, direct them to One Tagaytay Place. Is that hard to understand? Isip isip din kapag may time. Post kasi ng post ng hindi nag-iisip! Asa ka pang mabasa to ng nirereklamo mo?!
