Hotel Dominique Tagaytay

We spent our weekend at Hotel Dominique Tagaytay and used the coupon We got from Ensogo. For only Php 2,600 per night for a Deluxe room accommodation for 2 inclusive of use of Videoke Room plus 20% discount on food and drinks, massage and extra person rate at Hotel Dominique, Tagaytay.  Good think we went to Hotel Dominique Tagaytay after the long weekend as there were not to many guests so We got to enjoy the amenities and had a good nights rest.  Rooms were clean and very spacious.  Food was okay but they have big servings. We only spent an additional Php 500 for food and use of the billiards table.  The pool is not that big, but is clean and relatively safe for children.  However, the water is a bit cold. The rooms are well ventilated and acoustically set-up as you could hardly hear passing vehicles along the street.  Overall had a great stay at Hotel Dominique Tagaytay and will definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Rooms are spacious and clean. The floor is not carpeted though, so be careful with your toddlers when they roam around the room.

Play billiards when you when its raining outside or if you just want to relax and don't feel like going outdoors.

This deal from Ensogo comes inclusive of 2 continental breakfast w/ choice of coffee and hot choco.

Paradizoo Theme Farm

Paradizoo Theme Farm which is the 2nd half of voucher We've got from MetroDeal is just about a 15 minute drive by car from Residence Inn Zoo.  But don't worry as there are shuttle buses that take visitors from to and from Residence Inn Zoo and Paradizoo Theme Farm.  Paradizoo Theme Farm is a 7 hectare farm which has farm animals which you can feed, an organic garden, a butterfly garden, and a honey bee farm among others.  There is also an infinity pond where you could go fishing.  Unfortunately, the fish were still too small during our visit, so We weren't allowed to go fishing.  You can buy eggs, vegetables, crops, and honey which are organically farmed and harvested at the Zoo. The Staff are friendly and are willing to walk you through the various attractions or answer whatever inquiries you may have. Overall, the Paradizoo Theme Farm is a fun learning experience.

Experience life on the farm by feeding the farm animals.

Visit the Butterfly garden and learn and see how caterpillars turn-out into beautiful butterflies.

Check-out the honey bee yard, learn about bees and how honey is made.

Residence Inn Zoo Tagaytay

We used the voucher from Metro Deal worth Php 190 for a zoo adventure at Residence Inn Zoo & Zip Line Ride and the Paradizoo Theme Farm.  Original price for this deal is Php 399. Good thing we went there after last weeks long weekend so We got to enjoy the place less the crowd of people.  The weather was also cooperating as there was mostly cloudly skies with ocassional drissles of rain.  This made moving along the zoo cool and comfortable. 

The Residence Inn Zoo gives you the chance to experience feeding the animals hands-on... Bird seeds are worth Php 10 per pack.

You could also feed other animals such as goats, horses, and monkeys with fresh fruits and vegetables. This is a great learning experience with your kids as they get to interact with these animals on a personal level. Fresh  vegetables and banana are worth Php 20 per pack.  Our kids enjoyed it so much that we bought atleast Php 200 worth of feeds.

Enjoy the view of Taal Volcano by riding the Zip Line and cable car, which is free from this promo from Metro Deal.

Take a break and enjoy some cotton candy and cold drinks.

Take a crack at wall climbing for Php 100.

Go horse back riding for Php 50, which is good for 3 rounds.

Meralco Development Center Antipolo (MMLDC)

Recently had our company team building activity at Meralco Development Center Antipolo(MMLDC) which was conducted by Guthrie Jensen.  It was my first time to actual go to MMLDC.  The size of the place was huge and ideal for conducting company activities such as team buildings and parties, they even hold venues for birthday parties and wedding receptions.  The landscape and facade are eye catching and easy on the eyes.  The training rooms are well ventilated and carpeted with comfortable chairs and adequate audio and visual equipment.  The grounds also have provision for outdoor activities, unfortunately it was raining all through-out the training so We were forced to do our activities indoors.  The sleeping quarters were clean and well kept.  Free Wifi connection is also available in the rooms.   Had a good nights sleep and woke up feeling well rested and refreshed.  Food is okay, but portions are small, maybe it was because of the package our company selected.  Staff are courteous and friendly which made our stay more pleasant and relaxing.  Too bad We only stayed for 2 days and 1 night, so We were not able to enjoy all the facilities of MMLDC.  

The landscape, flora and fauna gives the place a serene and relaxing environment.

The decor inside is nostalgic and shows parts and pictures of old Manila and how Meralco and its founders contributed in building the Country.

The rooms are cozy and clean with free Wifi connection.

MMLDC also has its own Aviary with a collection of exotic birds.  You can also take pictures, interact and watch the bird show.
