We went to this resort in August and did not stay due to time constraints so this review is for the restaurant only and does not include any review of the rooms. The place was empty when we got there. The staff were nice enough to let us order food and show us around. They let us use the facilities and our kids played basketball while waiting for our orders. The food is delicious and was freshly cooked! We would have stayed but our itinerary have changed and we had to head back to our hotel in Pasay. The pool could use some cleaning. There were some trash in the beach area. The staff are the friendliest I've met and will definitely come back here in the future.

Atmosphere: Since my girlfriend and I were the only people staying there, it was super quiet and romantic. The staff had informed me that a huge group of individuals had left, and we were solo... So for the few nights we had stayed it was super quiet. Staff: Being used to where my girlfriend lives (4 walls and a roof) it was way above average. Everyone we came into contact with was super friendly, and always had a smile on their face. Room: Has the basics. Soap, water, toilet, AC, and bath. Bath consists of a toilet room with shower and sink, with a drain in the middle. Ladle and 5 gallon bucket to fill water and wash/rinse. No hot water in bathroom/"Shower" is available. Better be used to cold baths/shaving! Entertainment: Above the view of Lake Ta'al, what other entertainment do you need? If you're there with a big group, they have a karaoke room, and two other roof-top halls to use. First-floor they have an open area to view the water and a pool table. I enjoyed most of my nights there alongside my lady while getting my butt-kicked at pool. Front-Desk staff has numbers and connections to get you transported where you need on the lake. Eats: Simple menu was available for breakfast/ lunch/ dinner, and I always stuck to the Filipino breakfast set because of where we were at. My Filipino girlfriend said the Tapsilog was among the best she ever had, and believe me, she is a very picky eater. (outside of her 62 year-old mother's cooking). Upside: Views of Lake Ta'al!!!/ Quiet and Romantic/ Super friendly staff/ Pool. Downside (Personal Opinion): Would not trust waterfront area for swimming because all of the rusty rebar stick-ups right off of the pier facing the lake, and do not know how dirty the water is... a little run-down to call it a "Resort". All Aside: I would most definitely stay there again. Being from Texas, I don't care about swimming in the lake, or the other negatives. It's a room, on a lake, with a volcano in the middle... gotta see the sights, and I wasn't sleeping on the ground, while being eaten alive by mosquitoes!…

We stayed four nights here and by the end of the stay we felt that this was the best place in this lakeside community despite the nightly noise from the neighbouring basketball or civic halls. Our review is measured by what we saw in the area which is a small fishing lakeside resort that seen better days. Nonetheless we came and did what we wanted to do ie trek up to the Taal volcano lake and also to experience rural Philippines. The website pictures are dated. Most weekends are full of families with children enjoying themselves in the pool. During week days, we were most probably the only guests for breakfast & dinner which was excellent home food cooking! Transport back to Manila was best using the bus at Taygatay (up the mountain from VK Villa Khristalene Resort) and it was a comfortable 2 hour ride and costing no more than 200 Pp for two people plus our luggage. …

Cockroaches in bathroom and bedroom, breakfast ok but not good, the bed the most uncomfortable in the world. Air con worked sort of (bit noisy). The price 3000p I can get a room in central Manila for 2500 with brand new bed air con etc. The extra does not pay for a nice view. Left after the first night. A big disappointment. Oh and yes the pool looked really dirty, there’s a dead bird in a birdcage in the garden. The staff doing their best but the “kitchen” way too small and filthy. Thank goodness the videoke was not turned on! Oh and the bathroom floor was stained and dirty.

The hotel has excellent location, on the lake, with the view, in a quiet place... And that is all. We were outside the top season and... The place looks neglected. The rooms are basic and poorly maintained. The grounds are in the state of neglect. The pool is in need of repair. Food was just basic. The management should take a lot of effort to make this place what it could be... And hard work it would be... The staff tries its best, but that will not be enough to make the place look inviting and to be the place of choice in the area... Even the Internet is very poor...

We’ve book the suite for our family outing, however, when we arrived, electricity is on and off and generator is not working! We asked for the refund and decided to go home since we will not enjoy our stay there as the staff can’t do anything to their generator and no exact time when the electricity will return..worst thing is without electricity, there’s no water as well!!! Swimming pool is not so clean and the staff are not accommodating! I think the management needs to take a look at it as the resort had a good location..Major improvement is needed..this is such and epic fail as we planned this vacation for a long time, We never imagine that the resort is far different from what they feature in their website...

Small basic rooms but... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! A gorgeous setting like this, lakeside, at £28 per night gives it five stars on its own. Add to that the cleanliness, friendliness, good food and highly attentive service, we have no hesitation in recommending this establishment. Will definitely return.
