1. Pick a car (or if nobody drives, you can take the bus)
2. If you decided to bring a car, set the rules; who to drive, who to navigate. If no one knows how to get there, follow the below map:
Or if you are good just by following instructions -- take the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and exit at Sta. Rosa. Turn right at the Silang-Tagaytay Boundary until you reach Tagaytay City Proper. Turn right to go to the trail of eateries, shops and other scenarios OR Turn Left to go to Peoples Park in the SKY.
3. So Peoples Park in the Sky WINS. Its a steep drive towards the considerably highest part of Tagaytay. First stop is the parking lot, filled with vendors, parking attendants and shops for souvenirs. (I suggest you don't mind them) Go straight to that BIG STEEL GATE, you can take a tricycle, we took the uphill hike.
Epic ala SILENT HILL; Dark and Foggy downward hike to the now CLOSED Big Steel Gate Followed.
4. You cannot visit Tagaytay and not drop by to BAG OF BEANS :) Here you'll find the best Coffee Brew and All Day Breakfast Specialties. They also have a great scenic place to blab and eat. You can either stay on their garden setting or their homey-restaurant style indoor setting.
They have a bakery for take-out goodies try their Raisin & Cinnamon Loaf Photo from http://bagofbeanstagaytay.net/ |
6. Did I mention that this was an unplanned roadtrip with no reservations and game plan? Morning is now breaking in, next is where to stay. Tagaytay has a number of affordable Hostels, Inns and of course Bed & Breakfast Places. You can just pick from the below:
There was once a CashCashPinoy deal for this place. They have a Soft Opening Promo of 1250/Room. *Googled Photo* |
Rates starts at 2000/Room. They advertise their Lakeview Veranda with free WiFi *Googled Photo* |
Opposite side of the HighWay and on the other side of the Rotonda. Search Google and you'll see that their rooms are named; i Dream, i Love, i Desire, i Dare. *Googled Photo* |
7. Rise and Shine, its time to drive off and look for a place to BRUNCH. To cut the chase, we ended up brunching at TOOTSIE'S -- and it is no doubt a great choice to end this Roadtrip. Good Food, Nice Ambiance ++ their restrooms has this hotel/spa scent.
Try their KANSI BULALO- JackPot! *Googled Photo* |
