Tagaytay Easter Events 2017

If Baguio is nearer, I’d be blogging about Baguio Easter Events. But we can only do Tagaytay if ever we decide an out of town Easter event. It’s cold and an outdoor Easter event is very promising. So here we are with Tagaytay Easter Events. Surprisingly, there are more than 5 hotels/resorts in Tagaytay that will be having an Easter event this year!

Tagaytay Easter Events 2017

First on the list is Taal Vista Hotel Easter Event, because we already stayed on this hotel and we’re looking forward to spending another night or maybe two!

Not in the area of Tagaytay but another hotel/resort that we have stayed and having an Easter event is Chateau Royale Hotel Resort Spa. This resort is huge! And the rooms are big too. We will be back super soon.

Ticket is only 399 Pesos and includes kiddie meal, games and prizes from sponsors. There will also be an award for Best in Costume (female and male). I am guessing you need to be a guest to join this event.
