I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a quiet and fresh cool breeze of air but it’s summer time here in Philippines, and so there’s only two places that popped out in mind, Baguio City and Tagaytay City. (
The day came, check-in time is 2:00pm. So I and my boyfriend decided to depart from our house at 9am. We ride a DLTB bus in LRT-Gil Puyat bound to Calatagan Batangas, dropped off in Magallanes Drive. It’s a 2 hour travel, we arrived at exactly 12:00 noon, perfect time for lunch. We dropped off in Magallanes Drive, just accross the Magallanes Square, there’s a lot of restaurant overviewing the Taal Volcano. We ate at Rolando’s restaurant, unfortunately without the perfect view of Taal volcano because there’s a lot of restaurant that is blocking the area. Even not a perfect view but has a sumptous menu. I liked the fruit platter and chicken inasal.
At exactly 2:00 pm we arrived at the hotel, upon check-in we just showed the booking confirmation from agoda, credit card used and a valid ID. Check-in takes a little while, room was not yet prepared, they are still cleaning. We waited for almost an hour. Ms Princess, the frontliner, apologized for the wait and explained that they are fully booked that’s why they are too busy. While waiting to enter our room, we explore the area. There’s an ample parking space, a manor cafe, manor spa, and a swimming pool. Expect that globe and smart reception is quite slow and some area with no signal. Just ask for their wi-fi password so you can still communicate with your friends and family. Which we badly need to connect in internet so my boyfriend can still work on his laptop. While he’s working, I am also busy figuring how to post here in steemit. And I finally written and posted my very first story —When in Calaguas. Yes, I posted my first story here right on my birthday.
For only P3,087.11, we had the twin bed standard room with television, aircon, personal refrigerator, hot and cold shower, slippers, and the highlight—-free breakfast buffet and I will surely return for their complimentary one hour full body massage, very relaxing and rejuvenating. We also enjoyed swimming on their pool early morning of May 14th.
I should say that this place is a good home to those looking for a quiet and peaceful place. Thank you Team Tagaytay Wingate Manor for making our stay worthwhile.
