The departure was around 9am and we arrived at Tagaytay City proper at around lunch time (there was a traffic due to high density of tourists prolly because it's Valentine's day). So instead of going straightly to the hotel, we changed our plans and decided to dine for lunch first at Leslie's Restaurant - one of the highly recommended restaurants for people visiting the area.

                                          Of course, our favorite main dish - Beef Kare-Kare



So after having our scrumptious lunch, we took the advantage of taking pictures because of the restaurant's view of the Taal Volcano. And when I say "we took the advantage", we really took the advantage. lol Here are some proof:

Picture taking's done!!! Time to go to our accommodation. ☺

As I was searching for a not-so-expensive hotel in Tagaytay, I tried looking in Metrodeal. I haven't bought anything yet from the said site but I took the risk (knowing that we only have few days left before our anniv). I was hooked by this hotel named The Mediterranean House because of its affordable price. When I checked their website, I found out that the facilities were good. I also read some reviews and a lot were positive ones. That's why I called the hotel immediately and after a minute or two, we're already booked! ☺

About The Mediterranean House

This place is ideal if you really want a tranquil spot. It's kinda far in the city itself because this is already part of Nasugbu, Batangas. According to them, the place is just a 20-minute drive from Skyranch, Tagaytay.

To be honest, I didn't expect that much when I saw the facade. The only thing that entered my mind during that time was, "Ooohhh, eto na yun?". Yup, I was such a meanie that time but I've proven myself wrong. There's so much more inside the hotel.


                                                              Poolside Area with Jacuzzi

Too bad I wasn't able to take pictures of every area/facilities. :( Anyway, you can refer to their website (linked above and detailed below) and I can assure you that what you see is what you get. ☺

Btw, below are our FREE breakfast c/o the hotel.

Likes and Dislikes about The Mediterranean House based on my observation:

Dislikes

• The room that we've booked wasn't big enough for 2
• There was a build up of water inside the bathroom (due to poor drainage)
• Unusual setup of room. Normally the television sets are placed at the foot of the bed, but here it was placed at the side of the bed (it's kinda hard to watch lol)

Likes

• The staff and the owner were really polite and courteous. They really attended to our concerns immediately. (I would like to commend Ms. Annalyn, the owner and Sir Nelson, the staff who accommodated us) ☺
• Stable Wifi connection :p
• Ambience
• Cozy place
• Good food!! ☺☺☺
