Enjoying Tagaytay at One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites

Tagaytay has been one of the more popular and favorite destinations of both Filipinos and foreigners because of its breathtaking view, food finds, and the cool climate. Not to mention, it is just situated around 1-2 hours drive south of Metro Manila, the capital of the Philippines. I recall vividly of our short impromptu trips to Tagaytay from school, when my college friends and I feel like escaping from the hustle and bustle of school and the metro. We would just enjoy the view, and the food, of course!

Just recently, I came from One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites in Barrio Sungay, Tagaytay City. We were invited by Tower Lounge Steak Bar, one of the dining places in One Tagaytay Place Hotel. From Sta. Rosa or Greenfields South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) exit, you turn left (going to Picnic Grove and Tagaytay Highlands) once you reach the junction in Tagaytay. One Tagaytay Place is, less than 800 meters from the junction, to your left.

One Tagaytay Place Hotel boasts of its Penthouse suites. This is the one-bedroom Penthouse Suite which is good for 4 persons.

Tagaytay's Taal Vista Lodge Buffet Meals

Just recently, we drove a few hours down south to Tagaytay City to try Taal Vista Lodge's dinner buffet meals. For a little more than 800 pesos a person, I think it was expensive for what the International Buffet at that time had to offer. The food wasn't that great. The desserts, even worse. I only liked the Blueberry Pannacotta and the Banana - Jack Fruit concoction. Overall it was okay and, sure, it was very filling. On the contrary, the breathtaking sight and the ambiance was romantic and just perfect for a date.

Here are the food we ate, or at least what I had.


Tagaytay City is one of the destinations people go to for a quick escape from the city life and busy environment of Manila. It's a little bit cooler compared to Manila, because of its altitude compared to the Capital.
