Entourage and Guest Accommodation: Yellow Coco Tagaytay

Package Deal: Overnight rental of 4 villas
Package Price: Php8,000/night (Grand Villa good for 12 pax); Php6,000 (Apitong villas good for 8 pax)

The Best

When we arrived at around 11PM in the evening, we woke up Rose, the caretaker, and she is still accommodating when we asked her if we can check-in even if it is late. Read the horror story of Rosemont Garden here.

Liane was allowed inside the room so I can say that this is the best thing about Yellow Coco.

The Good

Very nice location, about 5 minutes away from Colossian Gardens and 10 minutes from Caleruega. We liked it because the villas are cheap considering that the location is in the heart of Tagaytay City. Breakfast included.

The Bad

The beds are quite small for two, the blankets are thin and the bathroom could use a better water heater. The rental does not include gas for the stove, which you have to pay Php150 per small tank of LPG.

The Ugly

We did not stay long enough to see anything ugly.

Rai and Marc’s recommendation: If you are on a budget and/or travelling with pets, we recommend this villa.

We had a very nice trip to Tagaytay yesterday with my bestfriend Roy, and of course Liane. Supposedly, my Maid of Honor is to join us but, oh well…

Anyway, we dropped by Rosemont Garden and Yellow Coco to see our preparation venues before the wedding. Bom and I have finally decided that we will both stay at the Rosemont Garden for the preparation and the rest of his family members and entourage will have to stay at the Yellow Coco. Rosemont Garden also has a good view of Mt. Taal from the balcony, and has a cool breeze coming from the lake side of the house. Each room has a bathroom, but only one has a bathtub, which I like because I plan to submerge myself in a relaxing bath the night before the wedding. But the TV, oh, the TV, it is missing! Luckily, Yellow Coco offers an LCD TV with DVD player, in place of a bathtub. Both places are value for money and provides a very relaxing place, exactly what we need to balance the huff and puff of our wedding =)

We also took Roy and Liane to Caleruega for a quick look to what this beautiful place has to offer. Roy immediately noticed the unpaved road going to Caleruega, and I assured him that his car can take it. Liane also crossed the hanging bridge for the first time with Roy holding her leash so she won’t run after the dogs we saw at the park.

Before heading home, we also stopped by to see if the flowers had bloomed at Colossian Garden, but unfortunately the plants are still recuperating from the summer heat. Though we noticed that they placed more lanterns and the net-like decoration looks like it is cleaner. Then there was a chicken running for its dear life, and it was when we discovered that Liane was chasing it! Bad, Liane! But very funny. =)

So, without much ado, here are the photos from our trip (I apologize for the lousy pics, we have to rush going places because Liane cannot stand waiting for mommy Rai to finish her photoshoot).
