What is Tagaytay without “Bulalo” (bone marrow soup)? Travelers who go on road trips to Tagaytay and have lunch there always have bulalo for their main dish. In my case I tried all sorts of the bulalo in numerous restaurants in Tagaytay like Leslie’s, Taalenia, Josephine’s among others. During our last trip in Tagaytaty we had a short visit in one of the resorts in Lemery, Batangas. On our way home, we were struck by heavy traffic so since it was almost 2:oo in the afternoon we decided to have our lunch in an eatery along the road side in Tagaytay and we also ordered bulalo.

We discovered that our bill was almost the same as those from well known restaurants in Tagaytay. So to those travelers who are allergic to expensive restaurants in Tagaytay, think again. It will be an allergy relief to learn that prices of foods are nearly the same. It’s up to you to prove this.

It is really my dream to stay in one of the famous hotels in Tagaytay and what else could it be than Taal Vista Hotel. We always stay overnight in Tagaytay but not yet in Taal Vist. We would only stay there to dine and stay for a moment before checking in some affordable hotels in Tagaytay. That’s why it’s a dream come true for me when we finally got to stay in Taal Vista last weekend. It’s my wife’s gift for me for Father’s day. A dream I thought will only be come true if I claimed my disability insurance or lotto winnings.

Taal Vista Hotel is the most popular place to see every time you visit Tagaytay. Your visit in Tagaytay will not be a complete if you will not see this oldest and historic hote. It was named as one of the landmarks of Tagaytay City that is overlooking the Taal lake and volcano.

Every time we are in Tagaytay I always tell my wife that someday I will really stay in this hotel. It finally came true when my wife decided to check in last weekend with me and my son.

For my wife and I, Tagaytay is really the best place to unload de-stress. After a toxic and stressful life in the city, a cold climate and dramatic scenery is all it took to get back in shape mood-wise. This is where we felt peace and we choose to have our dream retirement house here someday. Aside from being a beautiful place, it is also near or only more than an hour’s drive from the metro. This place can really prevent you from using wrinkle cream someday.

As Malacanang declared May 3 as national non-working holiday, we will be having long weekend this coming week. I am sure people are now busy searching for a getaway place and planning for an out of town trip.

Beautiful places to stay includes Tagaytay area and Rizal. These places are cool and away from too much heat in Metro Manila.

A cheap or affordable cool beautiful place especially family friendly, with modern bedroom furniture, wifi, pool or along the beach area is perfect during summer for the family.

How can I get rid of belly fat of mine if you happen to try the foods of Franjetto Hills inBarangay Sampaloc in Tanay, Rizal? Last weekend we decided to bring our Belgian friend to Sierra Madre Resort in Tanay when we happened to pass by Franjetto Hills Hotel and Conference Center on our way to Sierra Madre. We took the other roads from Antipolo instead of the usual road in Cogeo since we heard that the bridge were damaged by Typhoon Ondoy last year. After a visit in Sierra Madre resort we decided to look at Franjetto and maybe to have coffee there since my brother in-law always have coffee there. He is a regular visitor of the place.

Since it was already getting dark, we decided to have our dinner there. We were all shocked after having a try of their tapsilog, chicken adobo and their bulalo. They are all winners in terms of price and taste. A P200 bulalo for me is the best compared to those “bulalos” I have tried in Tagaytay.  I never thought a small area beside its restaurant  can produce the best food for road trippers in Rizal. I thought all the while that it’s just “Mang Vic’s Bulalo” who is also famous in this area in terms of “bulalo.” Now I know where to have a lunch or dinner when I visit Tanay Rizal again.

Chateau Royale is a 15-hectare prime real estate that offers great accommodation and amenities. It is located in Batulao in Nasugbo, Batangas and it is very near Tagaytay. If you want a climate like that of Tagaytay but you prefer more peace and quiet location for your family, I think Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club will fit your needs.

We happened to visit the place and was able to experience its amenities when we spent another long holiday at the Evercrest Golf Club and Resort close by. If you stayed in this hotel, you also have a privilege to use some of the amenities of Chateau like the swimming pool since both resort and country club are owned by one company, the Ever Gotesco Group.

The place is ideal for family activity or relaxation. It is also for company outings, retreats, team-building activities, weddings, business seminars and similar gatherings.

Aside from hotel rooms, it also has log cabins, glass and metal buildings which may be best for retreats or seminars for large groups. There are theaters rooms, swimming pools, restaurants, fishing lake, wall climbing, paint ball, horse back riding trails and obstacle courses.

We really had a great holiday in Nasugbu, Batagas and I am hoping to visit the place again.

Every time we go to Tagaytay, it has been habitual for us to drop by Taal Vista Hotel either to have something to eat or have coffee. We cannot let Tagaytay pass by without seeing the most beautiful view of Taal lake and the volcano. It is really a nice place to relax and have a break after more than an hour’s trip from Manila. It is nice to have yourself refreshed on its American Standard toilet Dine in their cool and elegant lobby really and it can take you far beyond the plate.

Aside from this, the most preferred place to be visited by tourists is Tagaytay because this place is almost historical and cultural among Filipinos.

That’s why I aspire to stay in Taal Vista Hotel one of these days. I hope that with the new discount scheme, I can now experience the elegance and the luxury of this hotel.
