4-Star Hotels in Calabarzon, Philippines

Staffs are awesome and politely greet us every time. Only cons was the play area and gym.. very outdated and aiecon was not funtioning well. We stayed in panoramic room. It was awesome.

Very nice hotel with great views of Lake Taal, rooms are clean and well maintained, they were remodeling some rooms and repairing the steel along the roofline which added some additional noise but they were very considerate about the hours of doing necessary maintenance, the only downsides were the pool closes at 8pm when the city belows lights are very visible and the views would have been great if we were able to use it. And the restaurant was not well stocked, several of the choices we made were not available

Ponter Fino hotel is my favorite hotel for staycation. However, during my stay on Jan 1, 2026, they checked me in so late. Later than 430pm. The reason was there were still guests in the suite room assigned to for late checkout which I think was unreasonable. They coudn't even find alternative room for me. Worst case, they promised to deliver my luggages (although they said attendants were busy which I understand) However, it took unresonably long enough knowing there are attendant / staff who seemed to be free and just volunteered to deliver them only when they saw me carrying the trolley. So I refused to let them carry my stuff and pushed them all by myself from the lobby to my room located at 2nd floor so still need to carry all of them upstairs (back and forth). They offered late yes but out of ego, disappointment, and dissatisfaction, I told them don't help me and I'll do ot myself.

We are an OFW family traveling with a child and senior parents, and overall we had a pleasant stay. The place is very family-friendly, with plenty of activities for kids such as an indoor arcade, outdoor playground, and both a kiddie pool with play features and an adult pool. One of the highlights for us was the on-site farm—our baby especially enjoyed the horseback riding experience. That said, there are a few areas for improvement. The rooms are decent, but the air conditioning felt too cold and somewhat outdated, making it difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature. The arcade area also lacked air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable for our child. The farm could use better maintenance, as there was a noticeable smell, and some of the activities like feeding and horseback riding felt a bit overpriced for what was offered. The horseback ride itself was limited to a few rounds in a small circle, which may feel repetitive for adults, though our child still enjoyed it. We also noticed that the obstacle course was not well maintained, with some mosquitoes around the tire obstacles. The location is a bit tucked away within Tagaytay, and we found the roads somewhat confusing, which made it challenging to navigate at first. Additionally, dining options on-site were a bit pricey, so we opted to eat বাইরে at nearby bulalo restaurants, which were quite good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the family-oriented amenities, but there are several areas where improvements could enhance the experience further.

I recently decided to have a spontaneous staycation at Sotogrande Batangas (April 11-12) just to relax, and I’m honestly flabbergasted! At first, I was a bit hesitant because the location is quite secluded, but the moment I stepped inside, all my doubts vanished. ✨The Ambiance: Ang ”nakakayaman” vibes ng Lower and Upper Ground floors are top-tier! Everything looks high-quality, from the furniture to the color palette. Sobrang relaxing sa mata. I also noticed they have a specific room for kids (perfect for families waiting for check-in/out) and even a dedicated room for nail services. You can really tell they designed the place for ultimate rest and relaxation. ✨The Room (Superior Twin): I booked a Superior Room with twin beds and grabe, I couldn’t ask for more! The bed was so comfy and clean—the moment I laid my tired body down, ayaw ko na bumangon. The room features are complete: television, stable Wi-Fi, excellent airconditioning, a mini-bar, and a total highlight—a bathtub! Napakabongga at napakalinis. ✨Facilities & Dining: The pool area is very relaxing and well-maintained. It was heartwarming to see families and kids enjoying themselves. As for the breakfast buffet? Hindi biro ang menu nila! Every dish was delicious. Maraming salamat sa masarap na pagkain! ✨The Service (The Best Part!): What truly sets this hotel apart is the quality of service. The staff provides a very welcoming vibe, from the security personnel to the front office. A huge shoutout to Sir Josh (Front Office Manager) and Ma’am Cess (who assisted me during check-in/out). Napakaganda at napaka-welcoming ng vibes nila—they really know their job well! Sotogrande Batangas surpassed all my expectations. If you're looking for the perfect place to recharge, this is it. Thank you for the wonderful experience! I'll definitely be back.

Seda Nuvali truly exceeded expectations from a smooth, check-in to a hassle-free check-out, with every process running like clockwork. Our spacious suite room was perfectly clean, featuring plush bedding, a separate shower and bathtub, high-speed Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches like complimentary water and coffee and tea selections, perfect for unwinding. Service was impeccable throughout, highlighted by an outstanding breakfast buffet with fresh Filipino and international options, including customizable omelets and healthy juice stations. The staff’s attentiveness shone brightest with our group of persons with disabilities (PWDs); they proactively selected accessible seating in the pool dining area, with ample space, making everyone feel truly cared for. Located in the serene Nuvali estate, it offered easy access to nearby malls and greenery, providing the ideal calm retreat as we prepared for my son’s wedding. Outstanding value, eco-friendly practices, and top-notch facilities make this a standout choice for families or events.

Host is very accomodating

We stayed for Christmas eve. They have a lot of activities for the kids. Face painting, cinema, foam party and card making. Free snacks and juice and giveaways too. Their rooms are clean. Good food! Three restaurants inside to choose from. This is our second stay already.

The place was nice and good for family or barkada staycation. Staff are very friendly and approachable. Amenities are cool, they have play area for kids, teenagers, and adults. They also have warm pool!!

The location itself is very nice. Really 'monticello', a small mountain. It is easy to find, if driving, Hotel Monticello is between the Tagaytay-Nasugbu road and the Mendez road. This hotel is between the highway and the normal way (if you call it that). Not very new, actually the hotel is a bit old. That is its downside. But still okay with us. Just five floors high, the view is already magnificent. Or maybe where you are situated. Mind you, the white orchids that greet you when you come in are all very nice and very healthy! Overall, Tagaytay is a cool region, and it is windy. so even without electric fan or aircondition, the air is cool. Take a scroll down at the pool area, pass some time enjoying the air, or be misted with the light drizzle, now that's something!
