Tagaytay

[bikerpat]

Anybody living in Tagaytay?

How do you find it. General ides of the place.

Accomodation prices (rental), things to do, environment, weather, shopping, colleges, is it near the sea or beaches, restaurants/bars, ex-pat's there etc....

Any advice welcomed?

Regards

Bikerpat

Pat, we don't actually live in Tagatay but i do go there once a week to deliver. Takes around 90mins from on our house depending on traffic and what horn/siren i choose to use that day!

Like everywhere else it has its pros and cons.
Accommodation prices in the last few years have skyrocketed due to it becoming very popular with local and foreign tourists. Renting outside the City can be cheaper depending on which direction you choose to live. There are large numbers of expats living in the town and surrounding area's. Most are yanks, brits and germans.

The climate at the top of the hill (actual town) is slightly cooler than the surrounding areas. It also rain more!

Plenty of shops and restaurants which tagaytay is famous for. Not cheap if you are planning on living in a tight budget.

Your nearest beaches are in Batangas which is around 1 hr from there. The sand is not really that great and if you want to enjoy some really nice beaches hop on a boat for an hour and head over to Mindoro.

What type of college course are you looking for?

The climate where we live at the foot of Mount Banahaw is similar to that of Tagaytay. No expats but much cheaper and the real Philippines :smile:

Josephines restaurant is a must GO! We had the most lovely dinner there last year and it is worth every penny. I dont find Tagaytay exciting really as after two days we have been round the tourist spots already but I love the weather there.

Thanks for that. I see on google where you live. Would there be any colleges where my girl can do some business admin studies near where you live. Typically what are rental for a furnished apartment on say a yearly lease where you live?

Anybody recommend Kalibo. Seems to have a lot going for it. Airport, beaches, educational facilities, near Boracay, rentals seems reasonable. Any views?

There are colleges within 30 mins of where we live. Rent on a nice furnished apartment for a year is around 60,000php. Not much nightlife!
