tourism Tagaytay

[_eRon_]

just finished my tagaytay weekend my gf and I enjoyed touring around tagaytay ..we stayed at mc mountain, the room with the taal view was great; very sparse accomodations though, you just get a king sized bed, ref, local tv but the dvd player made up for it , the service was very good, just looking outside your window and seeing the view was well worth it..had lunch at sonya's on saturday, went to mass at lourdes church on sunday morning followed by touring calaruega then having lunch at tower grounds (sarap ng bulalo at liempo hehehe) before going home, sana maulit next time

I remember the name but I cant remember where it's near. Is it near the batanggas boundary?

P4000 only for 3nights accomodation or 3bedrooms for 2pax in 1 night

 

I have 3 Hotel room accomodations for sale. You can use it as single room for 3 nights stay or 3 separate rooms for a night. The GCs are expiring till the end of November. I found out about this after going through my drawer last night checking on all the GCs I have. I bought these from an agent a year ago and I won't be able to use it so I'm selling it at a discounted rate. Tagaytay for 3nights(I believe it's inclusive of breakfast for 2 will verify first) at P4000.Sunrise Holiday Mansion PM me if interested.

 

PS I hope I posted on the right thread MODS as I didn't see any threads in the advertorials section regarding posts like these. Kindly delete or move if inappropriate. Thanks.

You may use it in 3 different nights sir. These are 3 GCs and 1GC is good for one night accomodation for two people. You may use them whichever way you want.
