Perfect Hotel for a Quick Business Trip

The hotel islocated in a very peaceful location. Having a car is highly advised as the resort is huge. Staff from the front desk to the restaurant were all very nice. The rooms were more than enough for one human being. Breakfast was plated but tasty. I highly recommend the milk fish.

Perfect Disconnect from City Stress

I had some meetings in Calaca and decided to stay the night in Canyon Woods. I was not expecting much from previous reviews and I was surely IMPRESSED with what I saw. Check In was very efficient with knowledgeable staff. The room itself was clean and modern. The bed was comfortable and air conditioning which is a must was strong and cool. The best thing about this hotel is the view during sunrise. You get a glimpse of the sun with the Taal Lake as your background. The breakfast was plated but very good. The bangus fish meal is highly recommended. Overall! Pleasantly surprised. I will come back with my family to enjoy the various amenities this resort has to offer.

Dirty towels, limited toilet paper, our room was wet all the time. It was rainy for the 2 days, we have lots of water on the floors close to both doors of the balcony. Not going back again !

Highly recommended

The place still has its grandeur amidst the need to have some of the facilities renovated. Some of the facilities are closed like the indoor pool and fun area.
The people are friendly

Lovely big bed! Enormous shower - and a bathroom upstairs as well as downstairs. No fridge or WiFi in the rooms - would have been nice. Drinking water would have been good to have.

OVERALL THE PLACE IS NICE AND CLEAN, THE ONLY THING THAT I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH IS MY ROOM REQUEST WAS NOT GRANTED, I REQUESTED THAT MY ROOM SHOULD BE LOCATED AT THE HIGHER FLOOR BUT THEY GIVE ME A ROOM THAT'S LOCATED AT THE SECOND FLOOR. AND THEY DON'T HAVE A COMPLIMENTARY GOODS OR CAKE FOR BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS I EVEN INCLUDE IT TO MY REQUEST. BUT THAT'S OKAY. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A CAFE' WHICH YOU CAN BUY A CAKE AND THE SECOND OPTION IS TO GO AT TWIN LAKES IT'S THE NEAREST PLACE TO BUY THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED AND FOODS THAT YOU WANT.

Nice place and what we liked most was the Jacuzzi and heated indoor pool. However, in terms of service, there was early cut off for food order and bar like 9PM.

Our room was upgraded to Executive because the room we booked was not available upon arrival. Awesome room with great view. Kids really enjoyed the spacious room. Though during the first night, the tv in the room as well as the hot and cold shower and the phone as well didn’t work but was fixed the next day. Staff were really accomodating, respectful and helpful. I commend Kuya Ferdi(shuttle bus driver) for being so happily showing us the whole place. He is fantastic. There’s alot of nice things to do. My kids enjoy fishing and swimming and climbing the ropes and the table hockey. Definitely we will come. It was an amazing two day stay.

I requested for a queen sized bed but they gave me a twin. I mentioned that this was noted at hotels.com but in order for me to get a queen I would have to pay more. Also we did not have hot water in the shower which was dissapointing. Place was old. But it showed a lot of character. I could only imagine how it looked at its prime.

Old and shoddy

Facilities are old, most are out of service. Only plus is the outdoor pool, sauna and massage. Indoor pool is not heated and too cold. You have to rent a swimcap. Too far out, nearest establishment is about 30min. Limited menu in the clubhouse (the only source of food) and it closes at 10pm. Good for 1 night stay only.

Relaxed.

I requested for a room that has the best view and Im happy that it was granted. We had a great stay at the hotel. The facilities and amenities was good. However, our room has poor signal to think that we were at the 6th floor already . Im not happy with the buffet though, when I asked the front desk clerk what they were serving at the buffet he said american menu, i was expecting of some bacons,waffles or pancakes, but there's none. Soup doesnt taste good also. Filipino dishes taste obviously good. But I think they should improve thier buffet menu. But all in all, i was happy during our stay especially to their pools. Thank you Canyon Woods! :)

Overall our stay was ok. The view was spectacular. The hotel staff were attentive and accomodating. However, the maintenance of the hotel facilities and amenities should be improved(eg. Electronic door locks, hot/cold water supply, restaurant/cafeteria service). Would still go back to thos beautiful place.

If you want a place to relax overlooking nature then this is the place for you. The way to the hotel is crazy since we used waze and as per the hotel manager theybalready contacted waze to fix it because we got lost, literally! Anyway, the hotel is very nice, people are very accomodating, the indoor pool is nice but the jacuzzi didnt serve its purpose that much coz the water is cold, the room is very clean and surrounding is very quiet and we had a great view, the food is bery generous in serving and people at the restaurant is very nice and the view \"wow\" lots of pinetrees! Highly recommended for IG peeps since theres a lot of good views!

It is just okey.

The tagaytay road going to hotel is under repair. I think before 2pm someone texted us to take the route to batangas. In short the driving is too long. We arrived at 5pm and asked them what happened to the tagaytay road going to the hotel. They tell me that it is under repair since last year aug 2016. I tell them they should inform the guest so we a choice if we still like to book the hotel. Anyway, when it comes to the food, it not good i think they should hire a good chef. Taste and quantity of the food is not fair to the price. Well if you book this hotel you will see what i mean. The place is nice, few people only.

A quiet escape from reality

It's more or less 3-4 hours drive from manila, and around 30-45 minutes away from Tagaytay. The place was something else, it was surrounded by pine trees and as soon as you entered the gates of the resort it felt like a secluded place and that added to it's charm. Upon checking in, we were given a map and list of activities we could enjoy (not all of it was free) during our stay. The staff at the front desk at that time was very friendly and answered whatever questions we had. Room service food was okay, huge servings but the taste was nothing special. although I was disappointed by their house keeping, we called to ask for them to clean our room twice and still no one came to clean the room, we had dirty plates and we didn't want them stuck in the room the entire stay. we ended up just asking them to take the playes away and that's the only time someone came up, nobody actually cleaned the room. The airconditioning unit in our room was working but it looked old and it's case was broken. the guest comment card that was in our room was from the last guest they had seeing as it had a review already written in it. The place was something else, if you're lookinh for somewhere secluded and quiet then this is the place for you

there are three swimming pool but only one which is located at The Peak is no surcharge.
If you want a buffet breakfast you will pay for additional amount which is not necessary because breakfast is awful.

A pleasant stay on a Holy Week break

This hotel was great. Liked the Indoor swimming pool, children's play area and swimming pool at the Pavillion. There is a free breakfast for two ala carte style but we upgraded to a buffet breakfast for Php 100/head plus Php 175 for child below 6 yo. It was great. The buffet lunch was also yummy. The only downside i saw is there was no wifi connectivity in the rooms, and the phone at our room (705) was not working.

Disappointing

Imagine a huge timeshare operation that is mostly deserted. The main hotel is poorly designed and very dormitory looking. Staff was mainly focused on a convention gathering which seems to be their main source of business. Facilities were very old and the location is eons away from Tagaytay. Breakfast was supposed to be included but you have to pay a \"supplement\" for the buffet. Huge grounds, but hundreds of summer residences that are completely deserted - place was eerily lifeless.
