Overall, a memorable stay- I held back feedback then so as not to spoil the moment.
Pros:

I admire how attentive and warm the F&B team was, how the FO team kindly offered a discounted upgrade ( though i declined the offer ) and how well you accommodated our welcome note request and small cake for our July celebrant,we'll definitely come back, just for Taal View next time instead of Mountain View.

Cons:

I do have a few points of feedback I felt were worth raising:

1. Directions to the room: We had a hard time finding our room and got lost ,we only later discovered there was an entry pass near the pool. It would help if a staff member could guide guests or provide clearer directions to their rooms.

2. Room condition (Mountain View): I've stayed at your Taal Lake View rooms before and they were superb. This was my first time in a Mountain View room, and I was a bit disappointed ,the bed felt quite old; despite the clean white linens, you could really feel the springs underneath. It was surprising to experience that at Taal Vista.

3. Door lock: The room didn't have an additional manual lock (the kind that prevents the door from being opened easily from outside).

4. Room scent: When we entered the room, it had a slightly musty/old smell. A light hotel scent would have made a nice difference.

5. Food storage request: We stayed 3 nights/4 days. On our second day, I asked the Front Office if the kitchen could hold our leftover, almost-untouched food in their freezer until check-out, since the in-room fridge wasn't cooling properly. Unfortunately, this wasn't accommodated, and we ended up having to throw the food away. It would be appreciated if this kind of request could be accommodated in the future, even with a waiver or indemnity form for guests who prefer that option.

6. Make-up room service: I requested a make-up room by placing the card on our door knob on day 2, as we had a busy schedule and left some scattered papers in the room. When we returned, the papers were exactly where we'd left them,only the bed and bathroom amenities had been changed. I wasn't sure if this is your standard for make-up room service, but it was unexpected.

It was ok. Awesome views tho!
Pros:

The location was amazing and the outdoor areas overlooking the lake were fantastic. Cannot describe how awesome the view was. The restaurant staff were friendly.

Cons:

We 'upgraded' our room to the newly renovated lake view wing and unfortunately there were many dodgy things in iur room. Electrical socket hanging off the wall, exposed wiring and the smell in the bathroom (possibly glue of some sort). I think we caught the reception staff member on a bad day, it appeared as if he did not want to be there nor helpful and didn't really care whether or not we upgraded our room after he had offered.

Cons:

Bathroom needs to be remodeled due to safety issues. No proper drainage: water from shower flows into the whole bathroom floor making it wet and slippery after showering which is unsafe especially if you have kids and elderly around.

Pros:

I like how the staffed welcomed us, they were so accommodating, and the view of the taal volcano was stunning.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that they gave our room to another person, when we arrived at the room on the screen was flashed another persons name, i tried telling the reception but we were given the wrong room but the lady told us it was just a system error, then when we arrived the day after at the buffet breakfast we told the staff our room number, and they called us "Ms. Lacibal" which was the name flased on the screen, there too many ants on the floor and it was was always dirty like it was never mopped, the other morning when i switched on the tv another name was flashed on the screen "Mr. Mabilangan". We never felt welcome inside the room. We were welcomed by the flying ants though.

Great Experience
Pros:

We stayed last June 25 in a superior room (305).. the room was clean and cozy. The entire hotel has a fantastic view of Taal Volcano. The staffs were very approachable and welcoming especially to Nikko and Fahad for their exceptional service from the moment we stepped inside the hotel to checking out. These two deserves to be commended for a job well done. Thank you Taal Vista! We will definitely come back soon! 🥰
