It all started with a lunch buffet, then hubby decided to book for an overnight stay at Taal Vista Lodge. As expected, view of Taal was really very nice. It's one of those weekend getaways you'll never get tired of. Taal Vista lodge looks good at the outside. It's big & the lawns are well maintained. The room though was quite disappointing. We really hated the bathroom which doesn't have a door, separated only by a sink, the bath & watercloset areas have glass enclosures which shows your feet when you use the whitehouse, very uncomfortable because you lack privacy. Another disgusting thing, molds everywhere, the place really needs a major renovation. Even the beddings look dirty.
Breakfast & lunch at the Ridge were average. There were only a few selection & refill was a bit slow. Considering the price, it's much better to go outside, there are a lot of restaurants to choose from.
Overall, we really find the offer a bit pricey because you're not really getting the 5 star treatment you're expecting, & to think we got it on discount because they're celebrating their 75th anniversary. I would recommend other hotels or apartelles which are cheaper but also gives a spectacular view of the lake.
