The Clairvoyant and I have our favorites when staying in Tagaytay. These include Sonya's Garden and Nurture Spa. We have also tried Hotel Dominique, which is near the Pink Sisters' convent and the T House, which is along the way to the Picnic Grove. Of course, there are many other options when staying in Tagaytay and with accommodation costs ranging from the very cheap to the prohibitively expensive. There are also the old reliables such as the refurbished Taal Vista Hotel, the Days Hotel, and the Estancia Hotel. I would like to caution people about relying on the internet for reviews because each and everyone have different tastes and preferences. Everyone would have his or her idea of what is acceptable and what has value for the money they spend.
Two weekends ago, while relaxing at our nest in Singapore, we decided to try 8 Suites, which is operated by Fat Jimmy's. The reviews were quite satisfactory and we were aware that it was a relatively new B&B that is quite off the beaten track, so to speak, considering its location (it was further from the national highway and already near Tagaytay Highlands). We were impressed by our suite room and the view was just marvelous. It was more than what we expected to see. The food was also good and dinner was just right for two hungry stomachs (we had an early lunch that day).

As we did in past visits, we made it a point to take note of other hotels in Tagaytay. We are looking forward to maybe finally trying out the Tagaytay Country Suites or maybe one of the new boutique hotels in the area. For research, we are asking our friends who have tried these places as we would have a better gauge of what to expect as we know our friends' tastes and preferences.
