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.
Everything is good. One ride from SM Bacoor, tatawid ka lang. Didn't expect that they got their own Netflix account free to be used unlike sa Iba na ikaw ang need mag login. Other things were working fine. It's just the bathroom shower Lang sa room namin, di buo ung water na nalabas. Nasa isang side lang sya. But still working Kaya walang problema samin. Didn't expect din Na malakinang standard room. Babalik kami dito. đ
I recently decided to have a spontaneous staycation at Sotogrande Batangas (April 11-12) just to relax, and Iâm 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.
âšThe Ambiance:
Ang ânakakayamanâ 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.
âšThe Room (Superior Twin):
I booked a Superior Room with twin beds and grabe, I couldnât ask for more! The bed was so comfy and cleanâthe 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 highlightâa bathtub! Napakabongga at napakalinis.
âšFacilities & 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!
âšThe 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 Maâam Cess (who assisted me during check-in/out). Napakaganda at napaka-welcoming ng vibes nilaâthey 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.
Taal Vista is a good place to stay when youâre in Tagaytay. Thereâs nothing more relaxing than getting an unobstructed view of Taal lake while having breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, Taal Vista offers a variety of food such as Filipino staples, salad, and bread, among others, which I really enjoyed. The rooms are not new but are clean well-maintained nonetheless (kudos to their cleaners who clean the rooms everyday!). If youâre after a serene place, this is the place to go. But if you want newer facilities, then you might want to consider looking for another hotel.
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!!
We stayed here last Holy Week 2024 for 2 nights. The location is good and easy to find. The restaurant needs a bit of improvement when it comes to tables and chairs and the ambiance and also the food choices. There were no pastries and cakes and no other coffee choices.They only have brewed which didnât taste good. The room was nice and huge including the bathroom but it needs brighter lighting. Overall it was a good stay but itâs not really place to be going back to. We just tried it.
Comfortable bed, hot shower, and a nice buffet. đŻ We had a great two days at this hotel. The food at their Emerald CafĂ« and Kimsuy Chinese restaurant, was excellent. The employees were really kind and helpful. The drawback is that the hotel is two decades old, and some of its components are degrading. Perhaps renovations will restore the hotel's magnificent facade and make it seem like it used to. Over all we appreciate the staff, and the room rate it was very reasonable for a suite.đ
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
Positives: friendly staff (maybe too friendly); quite clean both in and out of the hotel rooms; there were barely any guests there when I checked in, and with a window-less room, it actually made for great sleep hygiene; a positive for those tired travellers that need a good nap.
There's not a lot in Bacoor and the roads leading to Cavite and in the Manila direction have the most appalling traffic that I've experienced; but it is a short ride to the Manila airport (min 20 minutes by cab) , making this a potential airport hotel.
The safety deposit box didn't work at first, but to the staff's credit, they replaced it very quickly. Unfortunately, the hot water just wasn't present during shower time.
Buffet breakfast was okay, but it was a smaller selection than what I've seen at other hotels. As a vegan, I barely managed to find enough options.
Despite some positives, I do think the hotel was overpriced. For instance, I only paid about $20 extra for my stay at the City Garden Grand Hotel, in its prime location in Makati and superior facilities.
Great

Very Good
This place is literally a hidden gem. It's a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place is a holistic detox sanctuary. The food is healthy and delicious too. It's perfect for a short escape from the city.

I stayed at this hotel with my 2 kids to unwind and keep them entertained, and it was a wonderful experience. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The pool was well maintained and clean, which my kids loved. In-room service was excellent - special shoutout to Kenneth, who was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist us, even helping when the kids wanted ice cream. Breakfast was enjoyable and good, though the waffle was a bit hard. The parking attendant and shuttle driver were both accommodating, making our stay even more convenient. Overall, this is one of the friendliest hotels we've ever visited, and we would definitely recommend it for families. The only downside was that the room was not soundproof, so we could hear some noise from other room.
Highly recommend. This is my second time here. 2023 was my entrance. And 2025 is my exit. Â Still â excellent service. Â Friendly staff. Excellent amenities- I got massages this time. Itâs perfectly located to head into Lipa City. proper. Â You definitely get your moneys worth.
I had a wonderful stay at this 4-star hotel. The front desk team was friendly, professional, and very accommodating from the moment I arrived. They made everything easy and comfortable. What impressed me most was how willingly they assisted with a special request. I needed to interview the Food & Beverage Supervisor, and the staff quickly helped arrange it. The interview went smoothly, thanks to their support and coordination. The F&B Supervisor was kind and informative, and the overall experience was better than expected. The staffâs warm attitude and willingness to assist made my stay truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and outstanding service.
Our time at Club Balai Isabel was nothing short of amazing. The serene atmosphere, breathtaking lake views, and well-maintained amenities made it a perfect place to rest and recharge. We felt so welcomed by the accommodating staff, and every detailâfrom the rooms to the serviceâmade our stay comfortable and enjoyable. It was a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and enjoy meaningful moments together. Truly a memorable experience weâll cherish and gladly return to.
Malinis at connected to nature. Nakakahinga ka ng maluwag. Kung trip niyo hiking at swimming recommended. Ung paakyat baba niya na excercise ung lungs at heart ko. Ung room is clean at may gamit na rin like sa mga hotels. Mini ref, electric kettle, tv, towels and hygiene kit. Kung nakalimutan mo toothbrush mo meron din. đ€Ł If you need additional mattress, available sin pero may charge. I asked nang tahimik na room, so dun kami sa tahimik. At huni ng ibon at toko maririnig mo.
We enjoyed our stay very much that we even want to extend, however, my children already have their classes the following day. The place is so relaxing and plenty of instagramable place within Cintai Corito.We enjoyed the buffet included with the stay and their amenities (swimming pool). Will definitely rwcommend Cintai Corito to our friends and family and will surely comeback soon.
