1st Anniversary Celebration with Mi Amor

After three years, I'm back to this blog!

So, my recent escapade involves a two-days trip on Tagaytay with my J to celebrate our first anniversary as couple. Taal Volcano not really visible because of the fog.


Purchased a voucher online for an overnight stay at Hotel Dominique*. We head to the hotel to leave our backpacks first since we have to visit some places before checking in. The Front Office staff was very welcoming and pleasant to accommodate our request.


Check-in process was quick. FO staff requested for P500 for the key card which was refundable. One of their staff carried our things and assisted us to our room. Eventhough it's near the highway, the whole place was peaceful and relaxing.


Comfortable room and cozy ambiance. Has a veranda overlooking the other side of the hotel premise (cabanas, casitas, etc.) Some of the amenities inside the room were cable TV (not flat screen), aircon, mini-ref, SDB, coffee cups, water kettle, drinking glasses and condiments tray. Bathroom was ok but needs improvement.


We had Filipino Breakfast via Room Service and it's delicious. We requested for complimentary bottled water and it was given to us immediately.


No water coming out of the shower around 11:30 AM (while we were preparing for check-out) so I had to call the Housekeeping regarding it. Problem rectified after 10 minutes.


Overall, I can say this hotel is commendable when it comes to their staff and service.



Places we visit:


Ina ng Laging Saklolo Parish Church

Picnic Grove - P50 entrance ticket is not worth it. We just bought Tshirts instead.

Dining Experience*:


Lunch @ Josephine's Restaurant - Food ok. Service was bad. Staff weren't welcoming and attentive. Ambiance and view great. 

Dinner @ The Grill by Antonio's - Food's good specially their Chicken Inasal. Service also good. Ambiance average.



BTW, thumbs up to Loumar's  Buko Tarts!
