I live in Las Pinas and Tagaytay is just about an hour away from us. The irony however is that though Tagaytay is a prime travel destination, I’ve been there only once and I didn’t even have much fun during that first T trip (was still very pregnant then..)… and so, I promised myself that the next time I go there, I should – and I will – have a great time with my family.
Since it’s almost summer, I’m thinking… Should I take that next super fun Tagaytay trip next month? If I would, I want it to be an ultimate intimate bonding experience for our family. I know the must-visit places - Picnic Grove, People’s Park in the Sky, Taal Volcano, etc… but I haven’t decided on where we should stay. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a site which features One Tagaytay and I think this place is THE RIGHT PLACE that I was looking for.
One Tagaytay simply stands out from the rest of the pack because it’s not overstated. It is not too prolific. It’s not too overwhelmingly and insignificantly extravagant and exaggerated. It’s JUST RIGHT, especially for someone like me who doesn’t want to be bombarded with unnecessary luxuries.
I really don’t like places that were merely built to impress. What I hate more are those that build up your expectations through false first impressions, and then let you end up disappointed in the end. I want to keep things simply satisfying and enjoyable.
I’d like… my RIGHT match
If we visit Tagaytay this summer, I’d like to stay somewhere with a nice and cozy room, stylish but not drastically extravagant-looking, to the point that it becomes a bit off-putting, especially when you have kids (or people who want to get drunk) and you’re worried that they might break something.
I’d love a room that has all the amenities and luxuries I’d need – but not too much of it. Cable television is a must, a DVD player, hair dryer, and Wifi access too.
Though we’re out on a vacation, a coffee maker is also essential particularly because I’d need to stay up and ‘on caffeine’ so I wouldn’t miss late night talks where someone gets to be unlucky enough to be in the ‘hot seat’ :)
Though this may not be a must, I also wish – and I’m wishing hard – that the room we’ll stay in would have a private balcony that would give me a good view of everything that is Tagaytay. This is actually quite necessary not just for relaxation purposes, but for the family-photo shoot tradition (“Kodakan” portion) that we adhere to every time we go out of town.
I’d like a nice hotel where the staff is always there, just hanging around, ready to attend to whatever we need - anytime. I'd like people who would treat us as if we were of royal blood – and at the same time, long lost friends they’d welcome with open arms.
I’d like a place with a good spa where me and my hubby could have the best relaxing and pampering massage that will soothe my body and clear my mind. And of course, it should have the nicest resto which offers only the most sumptuous meals, preferably Tagaytay’s finest delicacies. I want my family to have their tummies all stuffed up.
A mini bar, a swimming pool matched with a kiddie pool, and a fitness room are features I consider very appealing as well.
And finally, I’d like a place where we would be secure and safe, far from the hustles and bustle of city life - the noise, the smoke, the busy crowd. I'd like a tranquil refuge where there is peace and complete privacy for me, my hubby and my kids.
Since all of these ‘I like’ features (and more) are in One Tagaytay, I know that it’s my RIGHT MATCH – the haven that’s one of a kind when it comes to offering the RIGHT dose of simplicity, luxury, comfort, fun, recreation, and relaxation.
This is in response to the Hit-a-bargain question: What do you think sets ONE TAGAYTAY apart from the rest of the hotels in Tagaytay in terms of bonding together with family or friends?
