Travels

I know you deserve this, so here are 7 royal ways to reward yourself, King and Queen of Twin Lakes!

Full week of non-stop work, huh? Bet ‘ya yearning for a nice and comfy and restful weekend. Yep, I feel you. And I also feel you don’t want to go far from the city else you may not want to come back anymore. Haha! Same here~ Well, I know a perfect place somewhere in Tagaytay. Hello, Twin Lakes Hotel!

Tagaytay has been the go-to “bakasyunan” of the people in Manila for decades now, and no matter how heavy the traffic is there, we just don’t care. All people want is to stay away from the giant buildings for once and escape the heat and not-so-fresh air we’re experiencing the whole year within the urban area.

Hey there! My name’s May and you can view more about me here.  I travel a lot for both work and leisure. Thanks to being an auditor and a content creator and, of course, to my love for travel, I barely feel I’m actually at work when traveling. And if  I’m actually off work, I usually am with friends or family, discovering places and trying out new food. I’m juggling three jobs – the two mentioned + being a single mom. You think it’s easy? Of course not! But what glues me together is my passion and love for these three. More about my story here.

I love sharing what I know and how I do things, so if you haven’t read these yet, visit the following pages to view:

About Twin Lakes Hotel Tagaytay

Twin Lakes is one of the best-planned and tourism estates in the Philippines, I must say. Being a subsidiary to Megaworld, we know that Twin Lakes is not just a classy name but a first-class development that offers excellent quality of facilities, dining, and services. And because we are solid fans of everything classy ~ahem~ we guarantee that we really enjoyed our stay in this fancy castle in Tagaytay!

Twin Lakes is a 1,200-hectare tourism estate housing European-inspired hotel, residential clusterwhich is composed of three mid-rise condominium towers named after grape varieties: Shiraz, Merlot, and Chardonnay. What makes it more a must-visit is my personal favorite, their Twin Lakes shopping village where you can find a wide options of food and restaurants.

Located along Nasugbu Road, Twin Lakes has a very easy access to all that are looking for a great escape away from the city noise. The hotel rooms in Tagaytay City each feature a balcony with a majestic view of Lake Taal, a unique crater lake with a smaller volcano in its center. All 126 air-conditioned suites come with amenities such as HD cable TV, bathtub, coffee and tea makers, and safety deposit box.
