Vanilla Suites, Tagaytay
October 24, 2009. A hidden gem was discovered in Tagaytay.
Most hotels were fully booked that weekend. There were 2 more rooms available at a certain bed and breakfast hotel, price range PHP 7,000 -8,000, which include all the pampering works. If the reception weren’t snooty as usual (first visit here was the same), a room would have been booked. Decided to take a chance elsewhere and while going around, like an answered wish, we chanced upon Vanilla Suites.

All three rooms were quite inviting. I liked the Garden suite but to spare 1K, opted to get the Classic suite. It was as cozy and dreamy. We were served our welcome drinks in the room while we settled in.
I didn’t want to leave the room but we had dinner reservations at Antonio’s. We were back a little past midnight and the ambience was the perfect setting for a long relaxed sleep.
The next morning, it was good to go out and feel the Tagaytay breeze. The morning was lovely, the sun giving a tender peck on the skin. There’s a short patch leading to a swing on the lower area and we decided to take a walk before breakfast.
Breakfast was served by Rosso Café | Ristorante (same management as the one in Manila). The friendly service was professional, efficient and accommodating. Vanilla Suites is also accepting wedding reception among other events. The packages are quite reasonable. It’s worth a look for those planning to wed soon.
After the breakfast, we rested and scheduled our cold stone facial and massage.
I see batman too.
By 12 noon, we were ready to check out. With a reluctant goodbye, we thanked the staff and promised a return.
