Celebrating New Year at The Pina Colina Resort in Tagaytay

It has been another year, my family and I wanted to celebrate the New Year somewhere refreshing, relaxing and peaceful ;-) We have searched places where we can spend our New Year celebration and our escapades pointed us in the right direction; The Piña Colina Resort in Tagaytay. Specifically located at Tolentino Ulat Road, Barangay Francisco, Santa Rosa - Tagaytay Rd, Tagaytay, Cavite, Piña Colina Resort is one of the more popular family-friendly resort destinations in Tagaytay City. As the name implies, Piña Colina is located atop a hill, with pineapple plantations and lush greens across the landscape. This delightful Tagaytay hideaway has several log cabins, casitas, and suites available for accommodations.  While the establishment has its own restaurant that serves meals, guests may bring in their own food, drinks, and snacks corkage-free. They have swimming pools there, though the water is freezing cold as it is still Tagaytay after all, you can still enjoy a good swim ;

Have you been to Batangas? I have been there so many times already and yet, there are still a lot of great places there to visit. As my being adventurous to seek places aroused me big time, I decided to again, join with strangers to visit say, 3 nice locations within Batangas proper.
