Secluded, quiet location away from the main highway traffic
快速了解: A budget-friendly photo studio disguised as a condotel where you pay extra for every amenity.
@lutein05 的评论: I honestly fell in love with the artistic vibe here. It feels like a slice of Greece right in Tagaytay. The library was my favorite spot to just disconnect, and having a kitchenette in the room made our family stay so much easier. A total hidden gem.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Beautiful for photos and relaxing for a night, but the 'hidden' costs for pool and parking frustrate many.
Reality check
The rooms can smell musty due to Tagaytay's humidity, and the pool water is often freezing cold.
Your main goal is taking Instagram photos
You need a quiet place to work (Lea's units often have 300Mbps fiber)
You want a self-contained staycation with a kitchen
Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean grout, but watch out for weak water pressure and slow drainage.
Maintenance: Common areas show wear (peeling paint, rust). Unit interiors depend heavily on the specific owner.
Linens & towels: Standard residential quality. 'By Lea's' usually provides fresh, decent towels, but not luxury plush.
Odors & scents: Can be musty if the room hasn't been aired out; humidity is high in Tagaytay.

预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the pool free?
No. For 'Residences' guests (Airbnb/Agoda condo bookings), there is a fee of P100-P150 per person.
Is parking free?
No. Condo guests typically pay P250 (motorcycle) to P300 (car) per night for overnight parking.
Is there WiFi?
Yes, 'By Lea's' units specifically advertise 300Mbps Converge Fiber, which is much better than the building's public WiFi.
Can I cook in the room?
Most 'Residences' units have a kitchenette with a microwave and kettle, but heavy cooking is usually prohibited.
Is it pet friendly?
The complex is generally pet-friendly, but you must confirm with the specific unit owner (Lea) as policies vary by room.
Is the pool heated?
No, and it can get very cold, especially during 'Ber' months or early mornings.
内部人士建议
✨
The 'glass wall' pool is smaller than it looks in photos—go early (8 AM) to get a shot without people.
✨
El Cocinero, the Spanish restaurant inside, is legit (Chef trained in Ibiza) and better than most tourist traps on the ridge.
✨
Bodhi Library is free to enter; you don't strictly need to buy coffee to browse books, but the waffles are cheap (P65).
