Review of Taal Vista Hotel

Whether you are visiting for the first time and desiring a great view of Taal or reliving the nostalgic moments of disappearing into the fog, Taal Vista is worth at least a night's stay.

Although the establishment was fully booked when we went, the staff remained courteous and welcoming. Guests also have a discount and private entrance to the Sky Ranch.

We booked the lake wing which still looks very modern even though renovation was completed years ago. I am very excited to see the outcome of the renovation of the mountain wing. Hopefully the renovation will also give the game room its much needed facelift.

Although the weather prevented me from taking a swim, the view of Taal along with key photo spots made the stay memorable. The highlight of this particular trip for me was waking up in the morning and having my mind perplexed by the vast selection the hotel provides for its breakfast food. On a day when the weather is more cooperative, coffee lovers can enjoy sipping a cup of Batangas coffee while soaking in the view of the lake.

I have yet to try Taza but I am confident that it will not disappoint. Perhaps I should visit again on their 80th anniversary.
