For our 18th anniversary, James and I went to Tagaytay to spend a night away from it all 🙂  We went to Discovery Country Suites and had a wonderful stay and it was a perfect way to celebrate

We try to go on non peak days so we do not compete with others in everything – room, food, etc etc – and it is much more peaceful

It was December 18, so the place was in Christmas mode.  Being the former vacation home of the Tiu family, it is a very cozy home.  So it is just like going to be a big house and staying in one of the rooms 🙂

 You can rent the whole house for a family vacation, for a corporate retreat, for a wedding celebration – for a very reasonable amount

Welcome drink

The Resident Manager, Jonahs Virrey.  Doesn’t he look like John Lloyd?  🙂  People here and abroad all approach him and wanting to have a photo with him thinking he is John Lloyd 🙂  Thank you Jonahs for taking care of us during our stay

 Library of books, DVDs, games and video games which you can borrow

Our room was in the basement so this is like the family room of the house 

Each room has a theme

We got Nara – which was Japanese.  This is one of the biggest rooms in the house

Oh my gosh!! Our family photo! 🙂  Just like the Discovery group to add a personal touch to everything.  Suddenly I missed my kids when I saw this photo! haha!! 

Outside our room is the garden and there is a jacuzzi which you can use

 In the lot beside, they are building a Starbucks 

This is a photo of one of the rooms

When we arrived, the bathroom was dimmed….How romantic 🙂 

brighter 🙂

Go outside the door of your room and you have a small gate 

That leads to your pool! Super nice!!!  

It’s not a private pool – once you are out there you share it with your neighbors 

Love Indian textiles!!!

Good morning 🙂

Going out again to see it in the morning

Talk about saving the BEST for LAST! We arrived at our last stop and we did not want to leave anymore!!!  We only had two nights left and we arrived at Udaipur and wow, what a beautiful resort!!

Bindi and drinks

The General Manager of the resort, Vincent.  We were happy because we would see him all the time making sure everything was okay all over the resort.  We did not see any GM in any of the other places we stayed in

I loved this console table with candelabras

Going towards the pool

How beautiful!!!

View from the pool!  They say Udaipur is the Venice of the East

Long hallways to the room – we have to give atleast 5 minutes to get to and from the room

Villas – you have access to a semi-private pool which you share with your neighboring villas

Going to the hotel shop and coffeeshop

They have feeding in the morning, around 1030am.  You have to go through the gardens at the back – you may even see peacocks in the garden if you are lucky 🙂

Took a peek at a suite

Living room leading to the bathroom, the master bedroom and another door to the dressing room

Our room 🙂  A unique door which has a door before the door and then curtains for privacy 🙂
