A Visit at Dreamland Arts and Cafe

We were looking for something worth going to Tagaytay when my boyfriend first came back here in the Philippines. Since Tagaytay is just one bus away from where we live, we decided to go to this new place that is just starting to get famous, the Dreamland Arts and Cafe.

Th place is just walking distance from Tagaytay Rotonda. Dreamland is also just a stone throw away from the new McDonalds in Tagaytay.
(You'll see their signage on the right side of the road if you're coming from Rotonda)
If not for this, we wouldn't know that we are already there. 

Dreamland Arts and Cafe is just a small and dainty looking cafe. 

(Dreamcatchers everywhere)
They have this place allocated for photo ops, I'm not sure though if you are allowed to dine here. 

You'll also see their menu right outside the cafe.



(i think they have already updated this one)

We decided to dine outside as it is a bit hot inside, I think the place merely rely on the cool breeze of Tagaytay though i'm not that sure if they have air conditioner as when we went there the door was kept open.

 This is what we got, to be honest, nothing is so special on their menu, and it is also a bit overpriced.


It's also free to borrow Sungka, you just have to approach them so they can give it to you as in our case, they are keeping the shells with them. You may opt to use this one, but after eating when we roamed around the place, we found out that there is a built in Sungka board with chairs inside for those who wanted to play maybe while waiting to be seated. They also offer paper and coloring materials for those who would want to do some arts and doodles.
Aside from being a cafe, they also sell some trinkets like these below, and more.

This is the stairs on the way up. As much as we loved to, we really want to dine upstairs because the vibe is actually nice, you'll just be seated on the floor, and there are Christmas lights around, but unfortunately, the tables are all taken by different barkadas, which obviously would stay a little longer than usual so we just stayed outside. 

Based on what I have read, this cafe does not have internet connection for guests as it aims for you to bond with whoever you are with in the place and enjoy instead of being too focused on your gadgets.

Tip: Go there on weekdays or if weekend, earlier than lunch or dinner time so you can get the seat that you wanted. :)

How to get there:
  1. If you're coming from Manila, you may ride a bus going to Tagaytay.
  2. Option A:  Tell the driver to drop you off at Olivarez Terminal.
  3. From the terminal, ride a jeepney going to People's Park, (P8.00/head fare) and tell the driver you are going to Dreamland.
  4. Option B: When riding the bus bound to Tagaytay, tell the driver to drop you off at Tagaytay Rotonda, and from there you may just walk your way going to the Cafe. It may take around 5-10mins. walk  (which is not really a problem with the cool breeze)
NOTE: Don't be deceived by tricycle drivers offering you a ride going to People's Park, it will just cost you a lot more than the P8.00/jeepney fare


Over-all rate for the experience:
Place: 4/5
Food: 2/5
Service: 4/5

You may visit them at:
Dreamland Arts and Cafe
Purok 157 Tagaytay- Calamba Road, Tagaytay City

Hope this helps!

Late Summer Beachin' at Casa Angelina, Zambales

Image
Can no longer remember when was the last time I updated my blog. I've been so busy that I forgot to put up some stories here. Anyways, just a few months ago, we learned about this so called Casa Angelina, from the town of Cabanagan, Zambales. I know it may not sound as familiar as San Felipe, San Narciso, or San Antonio, but this place is also perfect if you are after peaceful vacation away from the city life. Casa Angelina is owned by the husband and wife tandem of Roy and Joanne. They personally assist the requests of the guests. It only has 4 rooms, 2 are garden view, and the other two for the ocean view. According to Roy, they prefer to keep it that way so the guests can feel the exclusivity of the place. Each room can accommodate up to 7-8 guests comfortably.  (garden view rooms) (This is the first bed you will see when you open the room. They have an additional double deck and bunker bed. Too bad I forgot to take pictures of them.) Their comfort

Vista Tala: Home Away from Home

Image
We just recently went to Vista Tala in Bataan. Another place we found perfect to de-stress and unwind from the busy life we all have at work. With just 3 1/2 to 4 hrs away from Manila, Vista Tala is situated almost at the top of the mountain that's why you expect a really cold weather and a very poor if not no signal at all - perfect if you want to get away and relax for a period of time. We went there on weekday so there's actually not much people except for those that are there on a day tour. We were a bit late from their usual check-in of 2pm. Good thing they are not that strict in terms of check-in period. Since we arrived late, we decided to rest for a while and do some picture taking since its nearly sunset and the weather is getting a lot colder we opt to swim in the morning instead. Look at the view <3 You'll be provided with Wi-Fi Passwords but this only works when you are in the swimming pool area and not when you are inside the room. Ever

Antipolo's Best Kept Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa

Image
Its been more than a year since I last updated my blog. A lot has happened by then. I focused more on my work, my boyfriend had worked overseas and a lot more. So when he came back, okay we're now back to our usual dates and mini adventures. :) Prior to him coming back, I was already looking for places that we can go. One recommendation I got was this place in Antipolo called Luljetta's Hanging Garden. Right after my boyfriend got enough rest and catching up with his family and friends, I booked a reservation right away.  We thought its a bit far knowing its Antipolo, and we're coming from Cavite. However, we got there faster than we thought we would. The place is already a bit famous in the area so no need to worry that they may take you somewhere else. We already paid the package that we got before going there. We were informed that there's really a lot of people who goes there on weekends so we might come there and get nothing out of it if we do walk-in. W
