In between switching jobs, Marlon and I took a short trip to Tagaytay and decided to have an overnight R and R at The Boutique B&B. It's been a while since I wanted to check out the place and this is my chance.
As we got there, the staff assisted us right away with checking in and then choosing our toiletries. This is inclusive of what we paid for in the room. Marlon chose the Melon mint soap, and I had Lavender. We also chose Lavender for the shampoo, conditioner, and the room scent. The basket also came with 2 toothbrushes and toothpaste, loofah, laundry bag and bedroom slippers.
We had dinner served in our room from Hawaiian barbecue. I loved the ribs. It was soft and tender and its sauce was just right. We didn't know that it will be that big that's why we ordered the pinaputukan na (i don't even remember the fish) which I don't recommend.
We chose the iescape room which was the cheapest among the rooms at The Boutique. It has warm brown and beige tones. The bed has a lot of pillows in it but there was a pillow bag in the room if we don't want to use it. The bed was just right.
We were served native snacks of espasol and chocolate dip with iced tea when we got in the room. I think the chocolate dip was a good twist.
Each room has a flat screen tv with dvd player and speakers where you can plug your ipod. We also borrowed 2 dvds from their collection.
There were also complementary bedside nibbles of shingaling and yema which we really liked and placed in the side table along with the magic 8 ball.
We had a serving of coleslaw which was just ok.
We had our midnight snack of hot chocolate and heart-shaped oatmeal cookies which came with a nice quote and a rose on the side. We were so full Marlon didn't get any and I had it all to myself.
Breakfast in bed was the best part. Just check out our breakfast tray. Aside from our orders, we had the complementary bread with jam, Mango with cottage cheese, multigrain cereal, fruit juices and hot chocolate.
Marlon had the Corned beef bulalo. This was very tasty and was perfect with the egg and garlic rice. I liked it a lot as well.
I had the pancakes with bacon and eggs. I liked how unique the heart-shaped pancakes were and I enjoyed that they placed grapes on it too. The servings of the bacon was very generous.
We couldn't finish the whole thing.
We had our 10 minute foot massage after breakfast. It was ok.
Too bad it was raining, it would have been nice to hang out at the viewing deck of Hawaiian barbecue.
Overall I think the Boutique B&B is a good place to relax and unwind. Every peso we spent was worth it. I think we should have tried the other rooms which should have a view of taal. I would want to come back to this place when we have the chance.5
