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

Dude, don't know where it is exactly. But always keep the name in mind when in Tagaytay.

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.

If you use as a single, do you have to stay for the 3 nights straight or can you break it down as in 3 different nights not consecutive?

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.
