Environment/Ambiance/Food: MC Mountain Home Apartelle is the best bet to stay when you're in Tagaytay and on a tight budget. The place is homey enough for a good and relaxing stay. At a rate of Php 1, 900, we were surprised upon seeing the King-Sized bed in our room. I especially love their comforter. ^_^ Their Standard Room, as expected, is not that big, but they do have a closet. It's quite disappointing that they don't have cable channels (I don't know if it's just in our room) and TV signal is not that good. Bathroom in our room is not too squeaky clean but it's tolerable. At least they have cold and hot water in the shower. =D They have complimentary soap, shampoos and toothpaste but no bottled water so you might want to purchase one outside, or if your stomach is not sensitive, you can just ask one from the receptionist. These are just some of the improvements that I wish to see on my next visit. =)

With regard to their food, there's really nothing special with their breakfast. The usual tocilog, tapsilog, etc. One downside of staying in MC Mountain is that it's far from Tagaytay's scenic spots like the Picnic Grove, Palace in the Sky and the like. But good news is, it's very near the ever famous Sonya's Garden, Caleruega Church, Antonio's and Bag of Beans. There are no convenience stores near the area so better buy what you need when you are in Olivarez . Jeepney or bus ride from MC Mountain to Olivarez and vice versa is approximately 10-15 minutes.


Staff: MC Mountain's staff are friendly, especially one of the owners Mr. Daniel Crisostomo. He and his wife Mrs. Adora are very hands on in their family business. We were only able to meet Mr. Daniel and he was really accommodating. He even takes pictures of the guests. Mrs. Adora, on the other hand, sounds really friendly over the phone. The owners' congeniality, I believe, is the best asset of the hotel.


Price: Rates start at Php 1,900-Php 2,880.00, depending on the room. They have the Sunset View Room, Taal Volcano View Room, Sunset and Taal View Room, Standard Room and Deluxe with Twin Bed Room. Their rates are quite affordable considering that they are situated along the highway and very accessible, especially if you need to attend a wedding at Caleruega, want to visit Sonya's Garden or have a dinner at Antonio's.
