Anniversary Surprise

It came as a surprise. Saturday, June 11 was supposed to be just another weekend for us, staying with ate Joy and her family. We attended an event in the morning when she told me to get ready because we are going to Tagaytay for an overnight. At first, I thought we would just be sharing a family room, since this "biglaang-lakad" was very unplanned. But then, the manager of the hotel that we heading to texted her that we would be in a separate room and that it is ready and apologized for the double room she was placing us. I'm like, " what? why is she apologizing? She's giving us a big favor and she's saying sorry? ".

It was one of the greatest anniversary gift for Waldy and I. We've been to Tagaytay many times, but this was our first overnight stay! We were so excited to see the place, and boy it's amazing! View Park Hotel has one of the amazing view of Taal lake. Its not easy to find since the place sits just across Picnic Grove.

I think, the room we stayed-in that night was their double-room. Like all hotels, its equipped with a phone connected to the reception, a cable TV, hot and cold shower, etc. I loved that the bed smell so good that I immediately felt the need to sleep since I only had 2 hours of sleep the other night. I also love the fact that the place has a serene vibe, even though it is located near the highway. the noise of the vehicles passing by never bothered us.

We also enjoyed swimming in the pool which I expected to be cold since hey, its Tagaytay and the weather is always cold right? But surprisingly, the pool is warm enough that even my toddler swam for almost 2 hours, We were also given complimentary breakfast buffet of traditional Filipino almusal such as sinangag, daing na bangus, tapa, longganisa egg, coffee and some western dish like pancakes, toasted bread with jam and fruits. Our belly was so full that we skipped lunch that day.

Thank you so much View Park Hotel for having us. It was such an wonderful experience and a very amazing anniversary gift that we enjoyed so much!
