The hype
Guests are universally blown away by the views and the peaceful isolation, often calling it a 'reset' button for the soul.
Narra Hill
$150-250/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a secluded, nature-wrapped sanctuary with killer Taal views where 'unplugging' isn't a choice—it's a requirement.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Unobstructed, panoramic views of Taal Volcano and Lake from almost every room
- Two stunning pools (infinity and plunge) that feel carved into the jungle
- The 'modern kubo' architecture that balances rustic charm with boutique comfort
Snel Overzicht: A breathtaking hillside retreat that forces you to relax because the WiFi is nonexistent and the road to get there is terrifying.
Beoordeeld door @marwin_says: I stayed in the Kubo 2 Suite and it was pure magic. Waking up to that misty lake view while sipping hot Barako coffee was the reset I didn't know I needed. It feels incredibly private and cozy.

Reality check
The food gets mixed reviews—some find the set menus expensive for the portion size—and the bugs (it's a jungle) can be intense at night.
- You are a couple seeking absolute privacy and romance
- You want to disconnect completely from social media and email
- You appreciate sustainable, nature-integrated architecture

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the road really that bad?
Yes. It is a steep, single-lane winding road. SUVs are recommended; skilled driving is required.
Can I bring my own food?
Snacks and water are fine, but full meals are generally not allowed. Alcohol has a corkage fee (~P300/bottle).
Is there a restaurant on site?
No. They have a kitchen that prepares pre-ordered set meals only. You cannot walk in and order lunch.
Are pets allowed?
It varies by room. The Premier Suite is sometimes listed as pet-friendly, but the Balcony Room is not. You must verify with the host before booking.
Is the pool heated?
No. The infinity pool is unheated and can feel cold, especially during the cool Tagaytay season.
Is it good for kids?
Not really. The steep drops, lack of entertainment (TV/WiFi), and quiet atmosphere make it better suited for adults.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Order the 'Cassava Cake' if available—it's a guest favorite and often cited as the best part of the meal.
- ✨
The 'Balcony Room' is the most secluded, located at the very top, meaning fewer people walk past your door.
- ✨
If you hate the pre-set menu, eat a heavy lunch at Twin Lakes (15 mins away) before checking in.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'organic greenhouse' on the property is a lovely, quiet spot most guests miss.
💡You might encounter large spiders or beetles in the bathroom—it's part of the 'living with nature' deal.
💡The plunge pool near the Kubos is often warmer than the main infinity pool.
💡Mobile data is basically dead zones for both Globe and Smart in certain pockets of the property.
💡The staff will help you carry luggage, which is a lifesaver on the stairs—tip them well.
