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

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the lake view from your balcony and found the apartment to be nice.Regarding your experience with the pool and recreational facilities, we apologize for any inconvenience you encountered. As we state in our welcome email, It's important to note that while we provide apartments, the policies and administration of amenities such as the pool are set by the property administration. We understand and share your frustration with the process required to access these facilities as it impacts on our guest comfort, we have raised it with the building management several times however being a local company they are hostile to advise from people they regard as outsiders.

An Average Room but Taal Lake View is Superb
Amazing view of Taal Lake but wifi & TV connections were not good … please get rid of small roaches.

Response from Jazz on 29 Dec 2023
As highlighted in your response our apartment has an amazing view of Taal lake it is also larger than other units in the same building so perhaps you can inform us of what basis you judge it on to declare that it is average. We understand that factors such as wifi and TV connections are essential components of a pleasant stay, and we regret any inconvenience you may have experienced. It is important to note that the challenges with wifi and TV connections in a mountainous location are not unique to our property; they are common issues faced by all accommodations in Tagaytay. As we are not the direct providers of these services, our ability to address these concerns is limited. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.Regarding the issue of roaches, we sincerely apologize for any discomfort you may have encountered. In tropical conditions, managing pests can be a challenge, and we are actively working to address this concern. Our housekeeping team has been alerted, and measures are being implemented to minimize the presence of small roaches.It's essential to clarify that while we take great care to maintain the cleanliness of our properties, areas outside our control, including those adjacent to our units, may vary. We explicitly communicate this in our pre-arrival emails to manage guest expectations. We encourage guests to reach out to our onsite staff during their stay to promptly address any concerns. We regret that we were not made aware of these issues during your stay, as we would have been eager to assist and ensure your comfort.Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate your understanding of factors beyond our control. We hope you consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with an improved experience in the future.

Access Denied
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.

That is incorrect, an apartment was available however you were not prepared to wait while we verified your booking and requested a cancellation. You were provided with a full refund.

For waking up with a nice view
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.

Thank you for your comments. We provide clear directions via email as well as our contact number which is available 24/7. Parking is available at the front or the rear of the building and we have to staff to assist with luggage if requested. Our apartments are cleaned and quality checked before guest arrival and we provide a selection of comforters and pillows in the apartment and would have replaced any if you had raised the problem during your stay. As you have not mentioned what 'conveniences' a hotel offers over an apartment we are unable to comment on specific items however we would like to point out that few hotels in Tagaytay offer full HD internet smart TV or free cable and wireless internet or a microwave. On site you will also find a laundry, a selection of restaurants, a bank, and a 24/7 convenience store. Public transport also stop directly in front of the building so it is easy to get out and about. As the tallest building in Tagaytay you get a spectacular view of the lake. Unlike some hotels which charge extra for a lake view but fail to mention it is obscured by a wall. Regards, Blowing in the Wind

Good views..
Only a good view... Good weather.. Is a sterile and boring place
Response from Jazz on 10 May 2017
As you note the good view from the apartment I assume you found Tagaytay itself 'sterile and boring'. Many people visit Tagaytay to relax and enjoy the cool weather. The apartment comes with Smart internet TV and the complex offers indoor and outdoor pools, a games room, tennis, badminton and basketball courts for the more energetic.

Thank you for your comments. We will look into the matter. Please note that as it is rainy season if the doors and windows of the apartment are left open moisture will enter the room.

Pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The TV is a SMART TV and offers YouTube, Netflix etc as well as web browsing. The apartment comes with a microwave, kettle, refrigerator, free tea and coffee. Many guests prefer not to cook as they wish to sample the wide variety of food available in the local restaurants.
