Family Time at Twin Lakes Hotel: A Stay to Remember Our family getaway at Twin Lakes Hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the crisp Tagaytay breeze and the breathtaking view of the lake set the perfect tone for a weekend of rest, relaxation, and quality time. Mornings were spent sipping coffee on the balcony, watching the fog gently roll over the hills. The kids splashed around in the infinity pool, their laughter echoing through the cool air, while we soaked in the peaceful scenery. Afternoons meant exploring nearby cafés, indulging in warm bulalo, and taking leisurely strolls through the vineyards. Evenings were all about cozy family dinners, sharing stories, and enjoying the serenity of our home away from home. Here at Twin Lakes, we weren’t just on vacation—we were making memories, strengthening bonds, and cherishing the simple joys of being together. Truly, the best moments in life are the ones spent with family. ❤️ #TwinLakesEscape #FamilyFirst #StaycationBliss

Soft beds, exquisite interiors, every corner is carefully arranged.

We got the most unexpected view from Twin Lakes Tagaytay, Cavite. Don’t worry, the entrance is completely free! There is also parking available on site. It would take a regular traveler normally about 2 hours to reach this site from Metro Manila but it is truly worth it! We bought here from Santi’s Deli and we were just mesmerized by the awesome view. There are numerous restaurants you can see along the vicinity. If you’re looking for coffee, there is also a Starbucks present on site. I suggest taking photos at the left hand side of the venue to get the best view of Tagaytay. You must visit this place as this is a hidden gem. #tagaytay

Greatly recommend this place to everyone looking for a vacation in Tagaytay. Everything about this place is very relaxing Just take pictures and enjoy the relaxing mood and Sonya's hispanic bread is worth the travel to Tagaytay. #bucketlistreboot
