Blowing in the Wind - Lake View Apartments

Tenía lo necesario. Buenas vistas al volcán (sin niebla).

El edificio y el apartamento tenían un problema importante de humedad. El olor era muy fuerte y desagradable, y estaba impregnado tanto en las sábanas como en el sofá, lo que hizo que la estancia resultara bastante incómoda. También tuvimos problemas con el pago de la reserva. Durante nuestro viaje hemos estado un mes reservando alojamientos en Filipinas a través de Booking y no habíamos tenido ningún problema con nuestras tarjetas. En este caso, tras varios intentos fallidos, el alojamiento nos ofreció pagar mediante GCash y finalmente acordamos realizar el pago en efectivo. Lo más incómodo fue que, varios días después de haber pagado, la reserva seguía apareciendo en Booking como pendiente de pago. Tuvimos que contactar con Booking y aportar las conversaciones mantenidas por WhatsApp y una fotografía del comprobante para demostrar que el alojamiento ya estaba pagado. En conjunto, tanto el problema de humedad como la gestión del pago hicieron que nuestra experiencia no fuera satisfactoria.

The views

Looked a little tired. Staff at the complex not very helpful.

It’ s really good , Awesome place but unfortunately the weather is not good on my time there. Thanks

Cooler weather, great view & good value accommodation.

Everything. Accessibility, completeness of appliances and support

N/A

Excellent in all aspects.

The early morning jog around the grounds is invigorating, with the clear, refreshing air. We spent our time relaxing on the balcony and watching the steam rise from the volcano, feeling as if you're floating in a sea of clouds as the mist engulfs the building and countryside. The dramatic red sunset is breathtaking, and the thunder and lightning at night are like nature's firework display. As for creature comforts, the apartment was well-equipped with a cozy bed and sofa, a smart TV, and a microwave and kettle for snacks. There is a 7/11, Pizza Hut, and a bank at ground level. Both sides of the complex boast shopping arcades with various shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. Across the road, you'll find even more dining options, and a short walk takes you to the amusements at Skyranch. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and unforgettable stay.

Wifi could be slow at times but that is to be expected in the Philippines. We came to Tagaytay to escape emails and phone calls so it wasn't an issue for us. If you are someone who wants to be plugged in 24/7 buy mobile data but as this is a mountain range that may not work.

The Head security Guard,was really rude. That is why ,I will not stay there again.

The best part was the lake view balcony. The apartment was nice . The deal breaker is the ridiculous process required to use the pool and recreation facilities. They wanted us to walk half a mile to the farthest part of the property to pay for the pool. For that reaso we will book elsewhere next time

Excellent view in the apartment, really good location with many things to do, and a Robinsons quite close. We really Enjoyed our stay, thank you Sara! The bed was comfortable. Great quality stay.

The iron does not actually plug into the outlets. No hotplate/stovetop so if you enjoy cooking, the rice cooker is your best bet.

Nice view!

Firstly, the view is breathtaking. You could stare out from the balcony for hours. The location is great. Shops, restaurants and cafes surround the 5 tower blocks. 10+ minute walk to Sky ranch. The apartment itself has all the amenities you could need including smart TV, WiFi, rice cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and a large table to eat dinner on.

The check in process is not as simple as a hotel. Took approx 30 mins, but overall was fine. The shower pressure was low. Would be nicer if the water came out faster. The WiFi was on and off. The majority of the time it would work but when you settle down to watch Netflix and it took over an hour to load, it was annoying.

Amazing view of Taal Lake but wifi & TV connections were not good … please get rid of small roaches.

This is the terrible experience i ever have with booking. Com. I booked and paid for the room and after 6 hours driving we arrived at the apartment the property management said our booking was canceled without my permission. We were outside on the road for 7 hours to find a room to stay. Its was a long public weekend in Philippines all rooms were full booked, we end up got a very small very old apartment (this was under grate of my stardard for hotel room),and checked in at 9pm. This was a real nightmare for our holiday. Its ruined my holiday in Tagaytay.

I like the view from the bedroom. They also provide bath towels and dental kit and also tissue. The price is very affordable for the place like this.

Honestly the place is really good. What we didn't like is the pillows smells bad. Seems like they haven't change the cover for a long time. What we did is we covered it with bath towels so we won't smell it. And also the couch same smell as the pillows. It also indicates here when I booked that the unit is located at tower 1 which we prefer coz it's closer to the pool area. But they gave us a unit located on tower 5. So we decided not to swim anymore.

The cleanliness and the view from the condo was outstanding

The Wi-Fi was intermittent. not satisfied with Wi-Fi.

the view was nice you can the taal volcano and nice and clean place will go back here again soon when im going back to Philippines ❤️

nothing at all theres free coffee and i love it 🥰 i like ambiance of room looks cozy at all

Location and view were wonderful

everything with the condo was excellent.

There’s no breakfast. The location is good because near in supermarket, and restaurant.

Vacuum the sofa. So many particles.

Taal lake overview

1. No internet 2. Bed is uncomfortable to use for sleeping 3. We can not use properly the toilet seat as it is being blocked by the washing machine 4. No cable TV 5. Parking is with a corresponding high fee

Great view

Apartment was very nice, great views and clean.

Had to pay extra to be use pool or any other facility. Security won't let you in to reception on arrival unless you already know the room number. The shower did not have any hot water, it was an electric shower with a plug, this means there is a fault in the thermostat and or heater element. When reported the agent said that as water came out of the shower that it worked. Ignoring a fault on an electrical appliance that involves water is frankly dangerous. Also who wants cold showers every day.

Love the ambiance and staff 🥰

One of the best locations in Tagaytay. It had a view of Taal.

Elevator traffic is the worst. They could have built a bigger one to accommodate the whole building, considering that it’s such a huge tower. Since we booked last minute, we got a room on the 21st floor. And aside from the traffic from the elevator, the elevator itself appeared so unstable that triggered my anxiety and had us transfer to a hotel nearby. We just stayed for 1 night instead of two that we booked. I suggest that you get a room in a lower floor and plan ahead! Another issue was toiletries. If you’re planning to stay here, make sure to bring your own. I understand that this is not a hotel and room service isn’t expected but i was hoping at least to get new sets of toothbrush. Although towels and shampoo were provided, they gave us opened / unboxed toothbrushes. :(

excellent location. Close to the restaurants but there is not so much to do in the evening! I would recommend it for a day trip. It is easy accessible and busses from and to Manilla stop like 1 minute walking away from the property.

I am a remote worker and i picked it because of the Internet on Location! But it was like non existing at all so that blew all my business appointments.

Everything

Long wait in the elevator

We were at the 21st floor room and the view was so great. The place was so clean and smells clean as well. Also, the T&B are very clean. Kitchenware are complete. We were assisted by ate sarah and she was very helpful. The bed is so thick and comfy that it would hug you and make you sleep good. Haha. They have towels too. They have free coffee, toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo. We didn't use it because we already packed our own. For the whole experience, it is not like staying in a condo but in a hotel because of the completeness of things to use. Keep it up. For those who want to relax and have a great staycation, book this one and you won't regret it.

I would highly suggest that you upgrade to broadband/fiber internet connection since the connection from the prepaid modem is too slow. Nevertheless, we were there to disconnect from the online world. Hehe. So overall, it was still a great experience.

Location

Lobby was full of real estate agents. Lift was a bit busy.

this unit was on the 21st floor of a high rise building, the view was breathtaking. it faces the Taal Lake and Volcano. the unit is well equipped to be able to prepare some meals and enjoy coffee on the balconyThere are lots amenities in walking distance. grocery, hardware, McDonald’s, restaurants

had to pay extra for underground parking

I had a great time with my family at Blowing in the Winds Condo - it was amazing stay. Thank you for hosting us!

the place was really clean and organized but the problem is there is no wifi. but over all the view was amazing also

Fantastic view, friendly staff, good facilities nearby. I will definately go back to this beautiful place

It was clean. will definitely come back for another stay.

The room was clean and I love the view at balcony. Full equipment, 7/11 just in the building, restaurant just across the road. But the pillows has a musty smell. Staff were helpful

When we arrived the staff didn't have authority to allow the guests to check in to this "Condotel" due to some administrative problem so we left for another hotel.

Super appartement. Schoon en in prima staat van onderhoud ,vriendelijk personeel en vriendelijke bewaking. Foto’s zijn recent. Alles aanwezig tot tandenborstels aan toe,iedere 4 dagen schoonmakers daar ,en weer nieuwe handdoeken . Er zijn er circa 8 aanwezig om te douchen Goed internet en sommige programma’s op tv Engelstalig . Enige nadeel of voordeel je kan er niet koken.

It's my first time to book an apartment for a business trip. I still prefer a hotel for the conveniences it offers. It was not easy finding the unit. The room is in good condition, smelled nice but the comforter and pillow were a little smelly. The parking is far off so it was ok for exercise but not when it's raining or you need to carry some things to the room. The best thing about it is the view of Taal Lake from the balcony. It makes it almost worth all the trouble. I think it is more suited for a family trip.

Great

Only a good view... Good weather.. Is a sterile and boring place

We had a nice experienced with the daughter enjoying the swimming pool and also fast internet inside the room.
