Mothers' Day Treat at Kimberly Hotel Tagaytay

 
We were looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy Mothers' Day in Tagaytay and found just that in Kimberly Hotel.
 
The hotel is tucked some 3-4 minutes away Tagaytay's busy Aguinaldo highway. 
 
It is not crowded nor noisy, which means honest to goodness relaxation time for you and your family. 
 
We stayed in a premier room with 2 queen beds. 
 
Room is clean and lived up to our expectations. The free buffet breakfast was just okay for me, but my dad loved it and went back for more than his usual servings.

We were greeted by Mr. Crab.  My youngest was so thrilled to see it.  He got a little upset, when I told him I will be needing Mr. Crab in the bathroom soon.

The hotel has a pool.  The size was good enough, however, I was dismayed that it wasn't heated. 

The cold water ain't stopping my boys though!!!

There is a play ground at the back of the hotel. This kept my kids occupied for a full hour. 

Kimberly unlike most Tagaytay hotels has the luxury of space.  My kids enjoyed running around the well manicured lawn.

There are so many things to do inside this hotel,  you need not leave the hotel to enjoy Tagaytay.  There is also a fitness and recreation center at the hotel's ground floor, which guests may use for free.
 
 
 
The hotels lobby is huge with high ceiling.

Rockpoint Hotspring Resort and Spa

 
 
It was a hush-hush weekend getaway for a family of 4 (consisting of  12 adults, 3 kids and 1 baby) for a budget a little under P5,000 inclusive of set breakfast. 
 
We got ourselves an overnight family room airconditioned-accommodation in Calamba Laguna's Rockpoint Hotspring Resort and Spa.  
 
We were travelling with oldies (shh! my mom is going to kill me if she reads this) so the decision to go to a hotspring was not by accident!   
 
We had a very good deal and I am happy, Rockpoint did not disappoint us. 
 
The resort is gated with a 24-7 guard for added security and an ample parking space.
 
Staff were friendly, accommodating and attentive.
 
Food was okay.  If you are not satisfied there are plenty of fastfood chains and Pinoy restaurants a few blocks away. 
 
The place ofcourse is not 5 stars, but you would obviously get more than what you paid for.

It was unfortunate, we never got to experience their spa :)  maybe next time!
