Spent my birthday staycation here during the pandemic. The covered parking is across the main hotel. There is a guard who will assist you. You have to sign a health declaration form & pass through temp scanner & disinfectant mist. A security deposit of 2000 is needed. Clean & used pens are separate. The pool at night is amazing at it has lights. Deluxe Room where we stayed was on L3. Amenities are tv with cignal cable, electric kettle, aircon, ceiling fan, blower, hot & cold shower, complete bathroom toiletries. Wifi & network signal in the room is weak. Breakfast was plated but has choices, filipino, sweets, american. We choose american. I love the waffles, tsokolate batirol & sausage. The bacon was a bit bland. Prices on the Bellissima restaurant is good for sharing. Pizza and pasta are not the best but has big servings. Waiters are very accommodating. Too bad we were not able to enjoy the pool & the scenery because it was foggy due to a typhoon. There is a gym but we did not use it. Downside of the room is you can hear the next room people if they are too noisy. Room has a pool view. No handtowel provided but all other toilet amenities are their.
Will I go back? Yes.

It's a good hotel, the rooms are new and clean and our Executive room had a fantastic view of Lake Taal and the surrounding green hills. The pool is also perfectly placed to catch the best of that fascinating spectacle of Mother Nature while immersed in water.

What actually disappointed me is the lack of much of what makes a hotel stay a great experience, view or non view. The food has a limited menu and the quality would be about OK for a family restaurant or a 2-star restaurant, definitely not for a 4-star hotel.

The pool is very nice but it comes with no amenities. The SPA was closed, because of Covid lockdown. The gym is tiny.

The Customer Service was a mixed bag. Concierge and cleaning staff was corteous. Staff at the restaurant was poorly trained. The few times we ate there we had to repeat our requests them several times because they kept "forgetting". And the place wasn't even that busy.

On the plus side, the WiFi connection was pretty good, I have seen much worse even in larger cities.

All in all, not a terrible experience, but definitely overpriced for what it offers. I would echo a few fellow Reviewers saying that, given the location, Escala has the potential to be the best boutique hotel in Tagaytay. Unfortunately customer service, underwhelming food experience and lack of amenities worth a 4-star hotel spoil the game.

Even with the recent activity of the Taal Volcano and the Corona Virus, we went to The Philippines and had an amazing time. Part of our trip was to celebrate a wedding and the rest was to explore this amazing area. We were beyond ecstatic with both parts!

Highly recommend the Escala Tagaytay for it's exquisite service and features, including the delicious breakfast buffet which boasts local and traditional cuisine as well as a 'made to order' crepe and egg/omelet station. Amazing service, kind smiles and greetings, clean and comfortable rooms made for a great stay.

*Our AC had a leak which was serviced but not completely fixed which would actually be a 4.5 out of 5 vs 5 out of 5. Otherwise absolutely excellent experience.

Second time to stay because my son likes this place so much. Infinity pool overlooks Taal volcano, though not heated which can be a challenge since it ia generally cold in Tagaytay. Staff service is excellent. Lobby is spacious and rooms are accessible via elevator. Check in/out are reasonably fast. Room is reasonably proportioned but my one complaint is the very poor lighting inside that you cannot even see yourself properly in the mirror. They also skimp a bit on toiletries. Shampoos/shower gels are placed in containers which can be easily accessed so if previous guests are unkempt its contents may be questionable. No in-room dining but hotel is close to many restaurants and there is Grab food/Food panda available at night so this was fine.

We visited with my partner to celebrate pur anniversary. The place is superb. Pool is so nice. We also ate at bellisima restaurant and their seafood pasta is promising ❤️ I would like to commend the staffs they are so accommodating and very polite. So far the only thing that I didn't like was the noise that woke me up at around 3am it came from the roof and I think someone was busy upstairs, I heard foot steps. Maybe because we were located at L1. Over all we had a great stay. Thank you.

I like the ambiance, I think the price is worth it because of this, but rooms could improve. some lights are not working, some rooms look old, food is not good, midnight menu is so few yet they dont allow delivery from outside. During feb, the weather is soooo cold so bring jacket (it goes down til 16 degrees) The infinty pool is so beautiful yet a pain to swim in if the temperature is so cold. But it is manageable because of the view.

Awesome view. Too bad they dont have the staff to compliment the scenery. Its like check point everywhere and getting in to your accommodation is like getting into prison. You dont feel welcome. The staff will make you feel that they are after what you pay during your stay-not very friendly. They dont allow you to have guests in your room- as if they dont like their jobs. Linens not even pressed. Directional signs were very confusing. The only nice thing about this place is the view of the Taal lake from your room. Thats just it.

View is gorgeous both night and day, from many locations in the hotel, including the lobby, pool, and the resto.

Food is excellent quality, including dinner and the breakfast buffet. There is entertainment at night. The breakfast includes a fine selection of Filipino dishes as well as a salad bar, eggs to order, etc. Only missing some decent breads and pastries (there's a toaster but no bread!) , beyond just the Pandesal varieties that are offered.

The room is a good size with a pleasant balcony in every room, and has very comfortable bedding. A kettle is provided in the room, but you have to request and wait for cups and coffee making packets (low quality) to be delivered. This may be a COVID hangover?... it seems unnecessary and cheap move for a 4 star hotel.

The shower is awesome. I do really dislike the endless bottles (plastic waste - 10 tiny bottles). Please consider moving to dispensers like international chains are now moving to for some time. The amenities though overall are generous. A fan and aircon are available, not were not needed in November.

Service throughout is excellent - you are greeted everywhere by all staff. Best in Philippines I've experienced.

This hotel opened in 2016, with a bold and novel architectural design maximizing the use of the stunning lake view. It is just starting to show some minor wear and tear, with a few patches to the outside walls and paint, worn decking around the pool, etc. Also an ugly corner with rubbish piled up - the windows at the end of the floors. But this is very minimal so far. I hope they have a program and budget to repaint and maintain..... at the prices charged, this should be affordable.

Can't wait to stay again!

August 19-21 accomodation. The view of Taal Volcano was undeniably stunning; however, the overall infrastructure left much to be desired, as it appeared poorly maintained. The paint on the walls and surrounding structures seemed to be fading, giving the place a neglected appearance. Additionally, the pool, while aesthetically pleasing at night, appeared dirty and cold during the day, raising concerns about its hygiene. I was particularly reluctant to use it, fearing potential health risks due to its apparent lack of proper maintenance.

We stayed in Executive Room 203, which was spacious and well-appointed, yet we were dismayed to discover a cockroach on the floor beneath the TV. Furthermore, the air conditioning unit not only looked outdated but also seemed unclean, which added to our discomfort. I promptly contacted the front desk to report these issues, but it took them 20 minutes to send someone to address the problems—a response time that I found to be unacceptable.

The breakfast buffet, however, was a redeeming feature, as my wife and children thoroughly enjoyed it. Nevertheless, I was unpleasantly surprised when I was asked to pay an additional fee for one of my children, a charge that was not disclosed to me at check-in but was only brought to my attention upon checking out. This felt like an unjustified charge, and to make matters worse, I was also billed P150 for a water bottle, despite having only consumed the complimentary one provided in the room.

Overall, I found the experience disappointing and would not consider returning. I would prefer to explore other accommodation like Taal Vista should I visit Tagaytay again.

Stayed for two nights in a Prestige Room, was spacious, nice furniture, bathroom had a great bath (shower area is in need of a steam clean).

For such a premium room price, I would have thought a capsule coffee machine would have been a nice touch, instead we were provided cheap, poor quality instant coffee (see pic).
It's a pity the room wooden floor was so scratched in places, easily rectified if only someone had thought to use furniture feet protectors?
I think the hotel is either showing its age or has poor maintenance practices, needs a paint, refurb in areas (see pic).
We did not swim in the pool, it looked dirty and in need of cleaning (see pic).
The management or owners are to blame, someone simply needs to walk around with a critical eye and an allowed maintenance budget, this place could be SO much improved.

Bellissima, was fine, nothing special.

A highlight is always the staff in Philippine hotels, great people, good service. Special thanks to Jonath (restaurant), April (Spa).

The view is almost unbelievable, breathtaking, we were in awe throughout our stay (see pic).

Check out was unusual, we were asked to take a seat while our room was checked. I've never ever ever experienced this, to my mind, embarrassing and somewhat rude and leaves a negative exit experience.
When asked why, we were told this was in case something was left in the room,
but let's be honest, if this was the reason, it would be offered as a courtesy option not a hotel policy rule regardless. As adults we're quite capable of leaving a room taking all personal possessions with us, so in honesty it's to check for room damage or theft, blatantly masking as a customer service, maybe it's been a problem here?

Would we visit again, maybe, I'll keep an eye on the reviews for any progress on above.

Salamat
