Estancia Resort Hotel in Tagaytay is one of the places that people should visit if they want to be relaxed and enjoy the scenery of Tagaytay. It is close to nature and to the metro. It is a picture-perfect place; it can transport you to Santorini in no time because the place was inspired with Greek architecture. 

 I will tour you..

This me on a vacation mode. So lazy to strike a pose.

We were assigned to Executive Suite; it is a little bit far from the Main building so we felt excluded. Haha But good thing they offer golf cart to ride if you don’t want to walk. The room is amazing. It is huge. Inside the room it has an aircon, refrigerator, flat tv with cable, bathroom with bath tub and a balcony with nice view. It is quiet and you can hear the sound of the birds chirping. They offer free soaps, shampoos, toothbrush and shower gel to use. They also offer massages if you want to feel more relaxed but it is not free. They charge for Wifi access and it is expensive. So I just stayed out of social media for a while. 

For free breakfast, it is buffet. Don’t forget to bring the coupon before eating. I enjoyed the breakfast. They offer different variety of food. Moreover, if you want to use the Jacuzzi and sauna, you should schedule the time you want to try those amenities. 

I will give them 4 out of 5. They have a nice place for a 3 star hotel. I will give them 5 if they have free wifi access.

Family outing will always be a fun bonding activity with our love ones. I really enjoyed our 3 day staycation at Estancia. Not every day we have chance to be with them because of work and other stuff. My extended family lives in Cavite while me, my mom and my sister lives in Manila, so this is a perfect time to bond with them. I grew up in Cavite with my grandparents, that’s why I am their favorite grandchild. Joke. Hahaha (assuming?) Anyways, we had a great time spending time with each other. We should not neglect our families. We should spend time with them every chance we have. Friends come and go but our family will always be there no matter what. 

Me and my sister doing the selfies shot in the mirror. haha

The sky shining on us. This is the time we arrived at Our Lady of Monte Maria, Alfonso, Cavite.

This is it. Instead of having Visita Iglesia, we just visited one (1) Church and it is here at 

Our Lady Monte Maria.

Many people visited the Church too.

The path to the station of the cross. The hard way. haha

Look at life size Station of the Cross 

Another Station. The Crucifixion.

Just took a photo of a random tree. It looks like the Hundred Acre Wood. haha

It’s been a tradition to our family to have a Visita Iglesia during the Holy Week or Lent. To those who do not know Visita Iglesia, it is the visiting of different churches, it might be one, seven or fourteen churches. For us we mostly visit seven churches. Last 2011, our route was from Cavite to Tagaytay. Last year was along Laguna. Today, I will post about our last year Visita Iglesia.

Forgive me if I can't remember the names of the other Churches we have visited. My memory is failing me and google too. hahaha

Here are the Churches we visited: 

Parish of Sta. Rosa de Lima -- Sta. Rosa Laguna

Candle lights

St. Augustine Church -- Bay, Laguna

St. John the Baptist Parish Church -- Calamba, Laguna

Oh! Sunlight...

Station of the Cross

Angels

Visita Iglesia is usually held during Holy Thursday. While visiting the churches pray the station of the cross. Find your inner peace and feel the presence of God in your life. Always remember repent and be save. By the way, if you know the other churches I have post here, don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks! :)

• Our Lady Monte Maria, Tagaytay
• Churches in Cavite
• Churches in Cavite to Tagaytay
• Kamay ni Hesus and Other Churches in Quezon

The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences is a place to relax and to appreciate art at the same time. Creative minds and artists have displayed their own works at the corridors and rooms of the hotel. They also have an art gallery in the hotel. Unfortunately, I haven’t visited it during our stay. One night is not enough to enjoy the amenities in this hotel. They have friendly staffs that are willing to help you anytime. 

We stayed at “The Picasso Loft” according to their site: 

Exquisitely styled in white and grey tones and furnished with the latest and most complete amenities, this 93 square meter loft makes for a great VIP room or a place to house your traveling family. Reserve early, as there are only two of these exclusive luxury suites, both located in prime areas on the 8th floor.

Wow! When I read it, I felt we were so lucky to have the Loft for 50% off. Hahaha Thank you for my skills to convince my friends to avail the promo and to my researching skills. Oh gad! I was a little bit stressed when to booked the date of the event because of our different schedules in our work. Event organizing is really stressful career I can say! Lol 

My tour will start now… 

The corridor at 8th floor.

Elevator - They have a small elevator. haha but it is nice.

Look at the refrigerator with overprice drinks. hahaha 

You can also cook. They have electric stove, microwave and heater for water.

Table counter/ Bar! :)

Glassware and dinning table.

Stairs to the bed.

Ta-da! Bed with television, phone and an ipod ducking station.

The bathroom! Huge with separate bathtub, shower and toilet bowl. They have a lot of

free shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes, soaps, toothpastes and lotions.

Too bad I don't have the luxury of time to enjoy this wonderful bathtub.

Our view at the 8th floor.

If I will rate them out of 10 I will give them 9 because everything was perfect except for the breakfast. Our accommodation have an inclusive two (2) free breakfast, me and the birthday girl was the one who availed it. Hehehe The food was good. It was a buffet but I don’t know why the bacon and other choices in the menu isn’t eat-all-you-can. No unli bacon for me. Hehehe But overall everything was good.
