Kid Activity: Swimming at Tagaytay Haven Hotel

The main reason we chose to stay at Tagaytay Haven Hotel Mendez was because of their covered pool. One of the purpose of our out-of-town trip was for the kids to go swimming before summer officially ended, hence the planned beach getaway.

The hotel's covered swimming pool is located at the basement, the same level as the carpark, and is accessible from the lobby/reception area via a staircase. There is an entrance fee of Php100 per head paid at the reception area, which is already good for the whole day. A door is separating the swimming pool from the carpark, which opens at 9am and closes at 10pm. Sometimes, if the lifeguard is still available, they extend the swimming hours up until 12 midnight, mostly during weekends.

Sky Eye of Sky Fun at Sky Ranch Tagaytay

After our buffet breakfast, courtesy of the Tagaytay Haven Hotel, we went to Sky Ranch to try out the Sky Eye of Sky Fun Amusement Park. Now that's a lot of skies that it's quite confusing, I know. Sky Fun is the name of the amusement park located inside Sky Ranch Tagaytay, which is a leisure park located beside Taal Vista. The Sky Eye is currently claimed to be the country's tallest ferris wheel at 207 feet, surpassing MOA Eye's 180 feet height. It has 32 air-conditioned gondolas presenting guests with a breathtaking view of Taal at over 2,000 feet.

The Picnic Grove Tour

From Maryridge Good Shepherd, we next went to the nearby Picnic Grove. This is a very famous place in Tagaytay that boasts of spectacular view of Taal, with minimal entrance fee. We initially planned to have our packed breakfast here, but since we already did, we just roamed around the picnic grounds.
