Hotel berhampiran Mango Grove - Kawayan Cove, Nasugbu

We avail the summer promo of Forest Crest. We availed the Skylight Deluxe room with complimentary Breakfast and 1 time snack for two and 1 AVP ride for 15min. The room is spacecious. It has small sala with televesion and a cable box. A round table with 2 seats. A long marble table and a mini ref and of course a toilet and bathroom. I requested for a King size bed but the biggest size they have is a queen. The facilities or should I say the room in general was not maintained. There are debris of small cement on toilet sink falling from the ceiling. Top layer of the cabinet is dirty. No shampoo/soap holder inside the shower. The shower has build up of water calcium. Inconsistency on hot shower. Even if you set it to hot, after a minute, the water becomes cold so you have to wait again for water to become hot. The bath towel is a bit smelly. Its like it was not dried under the sun after the laundry. Poor internet connection. No phones, you need to call the reception via mobile phone. There are number of activities you can do on the hotel. You need to pay though but the price is not expensive. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. We ate to their Italian restaurant. The Salmon is overcooked and the chicke is dry. Need to improve their cooking skills. During breakfast, the hotel is not that strictly implementing social distancing and wearing a mask. It should be, you wear your mask when getting food at the buffet table and remove the mask when seating and eating on dining table. Hope they improve the implemetation of health protocol. They also have spa and indoor pool for those who wanted to avail massage.

The room had an “old musty” smell when we entered. I think it came from the room being old and the smell of salt water. Good thing there was an Air purifier. The massage Service in the hotel is very good and relaxing. My husband, daughter and I all enjoyed it. Food was okay. Staff were friendly.

The vibe in north wing is everything I needed. Additionally, foods are exceptional for the price. The pool was okay, although the kids wished to stay a bit longer but it’s too cold for them. 😂 Nevertheless, thank you so much for making our birthday extra happy.

Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of the Philippines, Taal Vista offered us a truly memorable stay. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a sense of tranquility that permeated throughout our entire experience.

Celebrated our birthdays (Me, my partner and my sister) at Hotel Kimberly. Initially, i booked for 2 rooms good for 6 pax. They called a day before and told me that they will upgrade us to their Guesthouse villa as they are fully booked. Glad i accepted the offer as the villa was so beautiful and big, good for 15 pax. We love the place, good for families with kids, my son loves their farm and was so happy with the activities such as animal feeding, horse back riding. They have heated pool as well. Staffs were very nice, friendly and accommodating. Will definitely recommend! Thanks so much again!

We spent a night here due to a nearby wedding. This was one of the few hotels with 2-bedroom options for our big family (6 in total). The good: great staff, especially front desk breakfast was really good, no bacon but it's not a luxury hotel. location is unbeatable with a supermarket and good selection of restaurants downstairs and across the street less than 5 minutes from sky ranch, good place to take the kids Room is large, plenty of space, beds were firm and quite good. Great view from the balconies looking out to the lake/volcano free parking in front and under the hotel Hotel has fantastic entry and exit points from the main road the meh: - The AC in the master's bedroom was blowing probably 25C air. Staff went up to check and the first one insisted that it was cold. The rest of the unit was doing 19-20C. That room you can immediately tell was NOT. We had to call the front desk again for it to be checked and after 2 more trips they finally figured the AC condenser was broken and it needed a freon recharge. By evening the room was getting cold. For a big repair they did it quite quick so kudos to them still. - The room had a stove and a kitchen but ZERO kitchen utensils. No spoons, forks, plates or even glasses. Not to mention no cooking equipment. What was the stove for? There was a microwave though, and the ref was working well. - There was a TV and a cable box, but no cable service until 9am the morning of our departure. I know this isn't the hotel's fault, but it's worth noting that providers in the area might not be reliable. Service was out for an entire day! Also, only the master's bedroom had a cable box, the living room did not. It was just a TV with no connections whatsoever. - The water pressure of the bathroom bidet is terrible, with no way to adjust - Hotel has free internet but limited to first three devices. So our family of six was half with and half without. The stay wasn't terrible by any means. We'll most likely return here in the future, given the room's size, but we'll probably be better prepared the next time.

If you want an accessible getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, I recommend Nurture Wellness Village. Book a room and treatment at the same time to maximize the time for you to disconnect. Note I found prices on Agoda cheaper than booking on their website so make sure to shop around. Pros: (1) Excellent spa staff. Massage was relaxed and therapists did their jobs well. Massage package for couple was in a room right under our room so easy to schlep over for a nap after the massage. (2) Gardens are relaxing and breezy. Not too big but enough to enjoy for an overnight stay. (3) Toiletries actually nice and from the aromatherapy brand they also sell in their shop. (4) Farm to Table restaurant has good, reasonably priced food with great service. Cons: (1) In this simplified world of express checkins and checkouts, I found their procedures very fussy - so much filling out of forms and signing of documents! The payments to different services are not seamless; if you eat at the resto you can’t charge to your room at the end of your stay. (2) Was in a room near a staff building and boy, were the staff noisy! Could hear them laughing and talking so loudly afternoon to evening, despite guest accommodations being quite nearby. So much for relaxing! (3) Rooms are clean and generally well maintained. However, the rooms are starting to feel dated and old fashioned (and not in a good way).

The room was very basic and small with hardly any space to walk around. However, it was at an acceptable level of cleanliness. The walk area around the main building is nice. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were served a complimentary welcome drink and breakfast the next morning. The only downside is the location. At the time of booking, I didn't realize it would be so far outside. There are hardly any fast-food restaurants within walking distance so had to take the tricycle.

We stayed at the hotel to attend a wedding a few minutes away. Hotel staff were generally friendly and helpful. The welcome is warm, though the individual standing guard at the gate could be a little more friendly. The hotel property is spacious and has a great view of the Taal lake, with the obligatory IG fixture on their lawn. It's obvious that the staff has experience in taking photographs of people and the scenery. Parking is ample, but not shaded. So the sun does beat down on vehicles. Best to keep the windows slightly open to let out the hot cabin air out. The hotel room is well equipped. Clean and functional. Room is well appointed. The pushbutton curtain is a welcome detail. Half finished renovations have marred the view from the balcony, but if doesn't totally ruin the overall experience. Noise suppression is a problem, as you can hear echoes from the lobby quite easily. The card receptacle was either disconnected or not working, as it did not shut off the electronics when the card is removed. TV viewing is juggling with two separate remotes instead of a universal one. No compendium in the room. Bathroom is clean and equipped with amenities. The Bathtub drain mechanism though needs to be attended to. Hot water is not as much as desired, but it does serve its purpose. WIFI in the room and around the hotel are not the greatest, for casual surfing and social media postings it's ok. Breakfast was ok, with the usual fair you find at other hotel properties. Pancakes could be better. The offerings didn't feature much local specialties. It would be good if the coffee is what Batangas was famous for. Sugar substitutes also would be nice. Waitstaff seems to not have a common theme in terms of uniform. At least they were prompt and present went needed, not dragging their feet when working. Unused furniture cluttered the corners of the dining space, making the audio equipment near the open gangway painfully out of place. The pool is beautiful. Not temperature controlled, but placed well enough to be under the sun most of the time. Not much space to go sunbathing. Clean towels are provided. Even though it's not a deep pool to begin with, there is a 'lifeguard' on duty. he could be a little more cheerful and approachable. Bathers though are in full view of the dining guests. So expect to be observed by the people inside in case you have a shapely figure. Safety signs are not that obvious. The Rules and Regulations poster could do with an update. It would be nice if the room had a compilation of literature that would recommend places to go to, places to eat nearby. A local map even. The hotel needs to clean up in terms of polish.
