Dinner and drinks at Tagaytay

When you are out with your friends everything is done in a fun way. So after our selfie sessions in Venice Piazza with no plans where to eat we decided to chill in Tagaytay. When I say chill we literally chilled.

We took the route from Mckinley -  C5 -SCTEX exit Sta. Rosa. Toll fee is 175 and headed to a bar but we have no parking so we had dinner first at Mer-Ben’s Tapsilogan.

It was really cold and the bowl of Bulalo we ordered is not enough to keep us warm. We were not ready, so our protection against the cold is minimal.

Mer-ben’s Tapsilogan is recommended for being affordable Silog meals ranges from 75-95 but being delicious? Its okay I mean nothing special it’s not amazing, not bad, not that good, maybe it was too cold that my taste buds numb.

After dinner we went back to the bar. We had coffee and bought head gears for protection and our boys just had a few drinks, the cold bothered us too much so they only had a few drinks. We chilled at a bar called Gatbucks just behind Starbucks along Aguinaldo Highway. 

It was so fun talking about our past experiences, the moments we had a few years back and planned out trip to Baguio.

This is our acclimatization to Baguio and I think the weather helped us acclimatize.

Anniversary in Tagaytay

Vouchers are booming at the moment and I am getting addicted in voucher window shopping when I came across into an interesting offer.

Cash Cash Pinoy is offering a 2D 1N accommodation into one of their log cabin rooms for 4, for only 1999 with Breakfast. I called the resort and they said it was valid, it was my first time to buy vouchers and the room is available for our Anniversary.

The pictures on the website are real. The place is beautiful; we were tagged along by my niece and little sister. I felt that I should take advantage of bringing them for a more sulit vacay. More gastos but sometimes it's more fun to be joined by more persons.

We left home at 4am. Slim does not like traffic so we had to leave early and by 6am we are on the hill to Tagaytay. We had coffee at Mcdo, Breakfast in Mushroom Burger and strolled Tagaytay since check-in time is 12noon. I bought KFC bucket meal for our lunch and snack but we have left over's so we ate it until dinner. (Tipid tips)

The kids rode horses; we visited Chapel on the Hill, Caleruega and by 10 am on our way to Nasugbu to get to the hotel. I wanted to steer away from a long line of people checking in so we headed to the hotel.

The place is awesome! Good thing we went early so the check in counter is not long. We were placed in a room too far from the restaurant and pool, they offer a car service at the resort anyway we had no choice so we took it. We tried walking to the lobby but it is too far maybe 5 minutes car ride?

The room is nice though, they had so many cabinets. I deserve a tap at the back for a job well done. Staycation is awesome!

The pool with real sand

Comfy beds

I think this is good for 10 just add mattresses

We let the kids swim and had our us time at the resto, then off to bed early.

 The morning after we had a basic breakfast, we went on a little tour.

Orchardium, they hava a mini zoo

Fishing area

Rock climbing area. 60 ft

This is a good retirement place; I think they offer that too.


It was nice that we celebrated our Anniv here and Tagaytay will always be my Pinakamalayo-malapit na getaway for me.
