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 ;-) Use of the pools at Piña Colina is free for stay-in guests. The pools are open to the public, so you can use them for a fee if you aren’t sleeping over at the resort.
The adult pool is 4 to 5.5 feet deep, while the kiddie pool is 2 to 3 feet deep. Kids using the pool must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
What more exciting is that they have an elevated Jacuzzi.
The resort has an elevated jacuzzi that gives you a beautiful view of Tagaytay. It can accommodate up to ten people. If you plan to stay there, advice the reception at least an hour before so they can prepare the Jacuzzi for you. Again, it is freezing cold so an hour at the Jacuzzi is soooooooo refreshing.
Piña Colina is currently beefing up its other on-ground facilities, including a game room with a billiard table, Ping-Pong table, and video games, an obstacle course for team-building sessions, inflatables, a trampoline, as well as areas for basketball and volleyball.
If you’re planning to visit The Piña Colina Resort, there are number of ways to get there:
Through Public Transport Via Aguinaldo Highway
From Manila, take a bus (Baclaran-Roxas Blvd., Cubao, Pasay, etc.) going to Tagaytay Rotunda/Olivarez via Aguinaldo Highway.
From Tagaytay Rotunda / Olivarez, take a jeepney going to City Market in the corner of Calamba Road and Sta. Rosa Highway. (Or from Tagaytay Rotunda / Olivarez, you can already take a tricycle directly to Pina Colina Resort. The tricycle fare is around P60.)
From the City Market, take a tricycle going to Pina Colina which is about 5 minutes away.
Through Private Transportation via SLEX
From the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), take the Sta. Rosa exit. Turn right after the toll booths going to Tagaytay.
After 20 – 25 minutes, along Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay Highway, slow down after you pass Ming’s Garden on the right side of the road. Drive for about 350 meters more.
When you see the big, green Tagaytay Haven Hotel signage, turn right on the road just before the signage. There is a blue & yellow waiting shed on the corner.
After turning right on this road (Ulat road), go straight until you hit a road on the left. Turn left on this road. It’s an uphill climb going to Piña Colina resort which is on the left side.
Through Private Transportation via Aguinaldo Highway
From Manila, take the Coastal Road going to Tagaytay via Aguinaldo Highway. You will traverse through Bacoor, Imus, Dasmarinas, Silang, all in Cavite. The drive will be for an hour to an hour & a half.
When you reach the Tagaytay Rotunda near Olivarez, turn left going to Picnic Grove, Tagaytay Highlands or People’s Park.
Along that road, when you hit the traffic light with Tagaytay Econo Hotel on the right and Tagaytay City Market on the left, turn left on Sta. Rosa Highway.
When you see the big, green Tagaytay Haven Hotel signage, turn left on the road just after the signage with a waiting shed on the corner.
Go straight on this road until you hit the first road on the left. Turn left on this road. It’s an uphill climb going to Piña Colina resort which is on the left side.
You can avail their Standard Room, DeLuxe Room and Premiere Studio all good for 2 persons. They also have 2 Bedroom DeLuxe which is good for 2-4 persons and or course The Casita which is good for 6 persons.
We have quite a big family so we have rented 2 Casitas.
We really have a great time at the Piña Colina Resort. They have their own share of great fireworks during the New Year celebration. We’ll sure be back for more.
Cheerio!
