Paradores Del Castillo

The place is pleasant, quaint and has lovely well preserved heritage structures. Staff was accomodating and well mannered. Food in their restaurants are at par with Manila standards. Although our friends ,who stayed in the annex bldg, did not get to sleep because of noise from basketball court which had very late till early morning games.

When we first arrived i was concerned about the hotel, but after goinsude and seeing the heritage i was sold. The room is good, the bed comfortable. Swimming pool is great. The food delicious and the staff delightful A little overpriced but given the staff and the food it is well worth staying there!

We stayed at Casa de Herencia which was just behind the church. It was decent. Lots of bugs though on the ground floor but the sheets and beds were clean. You can't expect too much from an old house but they did their best to maintain it. The staff overall were very helpful and accommodating though the front desk girl was a bit annoying. The manager also did not want to honor Senior Citizen's Discount for an extra bed we requested, which was a bit off-putting. The breakfast at the restaurant was pretty good. Overall its above average for a provincial stay in the Philippines but definitely not at par with international standards. It is still nice to experience something different in the countryside.

Great place.

Liked the very old house and cleanliness. Nice bed

Painstaking attention to detail is put into Paradores del Castillo to help transport guests to a time when the Ilustrados’ thoughts turned to something far more important than themselves. Its terrific pasta & halo-halo are timeless though. Don Juan Boodle House is a can’t-miss foodie destination in a surprising locale. Get ready to fight for delicious sinaing na tulingan, adobong dilaw & crispy tawilis. And in a nod to Spain, the paella, chipirones & gambas at Cuchara y Tenedor were superb. To complete the trip, one should drop in at Taal Tees Souvenir Shop. All these are a convenient walk from Paradores. Like its accommodation costs, food & item prices at said places were reasonable. The owner’s passion to keep alive the family heritage & promote Taal’s rich history & culture makes the whole experience possible. Impressive also are the staff who take pride in what they do. Special mention to Manager Suzette & Tour Host Jersa whom my kids loved.
