2015 Taal Vista Christmas staycation

The iconic Tudor style architecture of Taal Vista Hotel
This was our second Christmas staycation at Taal Vista Hotel at Tagaytay.  Love the cool, nippy weather during the holiday season.  Booked two adjoining rooms at the Mountain Wing, with each room having a queen bed and a single bed.

After check in, we went out to buy take out dinner (two large pizzas and Charlie Chan pasta) at Yellow Cab then dropped by Robinson's Supermart to get some water and snacks.  The evening was spent wandering around the hotel premises - lobby, ballroom area, lakeside wing and the children's playroom where the kids had a blast.

The breakfast buffet was held at one of the ballrooms.  Last year's breakfast was at the patio side of the restaurant which was a bit cramped.  The ballroom venue for breakfast was definite imrpovement.  We loved the breakfast!  I stuffed myself with danggit (local dried fish), champorado (chocolate porridge) with dilis, and longganisa (Filipino pork sausages)!

Until next Christmas Taal Vista!

Main lobby
Cramped in one room while waiting for the other room to be ready.
Adjacent rooms were provided as requested.
The Mountain Wing rooms are a bit dated but very clean.
Take out pizza and pasta from Yellow Cab.  Lots of Intel memories at this place.
Exploring at night with these two Doras :)
They had a mighty fun time together.

Sofi enjoyed the tub that night.
It was a cheerful and bright morning.
They now have this signage for photo op purposes!  Check out the small Taal Volcano, just above the hashtag signage.
Breakfast at the ballroom.  Loved the Filipino breakfast fare - champorado, danggit and longganisa!
