Vista Tala Resort & Recreational Park

It was a good bonding location with my BFF from Cavite and Bulacan. We enjoyed nature at Vista Tala Resort and the good services of its staff and the good food.

Our stay at the resort was less than expected. The overall condition seemed a bit run down, and it was disappointing that none of the water heaters in the 3 rooms we booked were functioning. The lack of internet and cable services further dampened our experience. The absence of amenities or activities made it challenging to enjoy our time there. The restaurant service was notably slow, and while the food was passable, it didn't leave a lasting impression. The saving grace was the natural view the resort provided, which was the only aspect we truly appreciated.

The good about the property is the view and the jacuzzi in the room, but the room and the bathroom facilities are not modern and upgraded, it floods in the floor of the shower, there's no room wifi and wifi in the common areas are so slow. The employees are in a hurry to go home and would not extend the extra mile to help the guests. Nobody will help you with your luggage, you need to bring it to your room on your own. The dining area also closes early at around 8pm plus when we went to the convenience store at around 6pm no body was manning it.

I liked the area where the resort is....peaceful and very green... weather was perfect, a bit windy because of the LPA. The facilities are not well maintained. They could have checked first if everything was functioning well inside the room: hot shower was not functioning, the aircon was not cooling properly and the cable TV (cignal) was not working, water of the toilet was continuously flowing (what a waste of water), I was charged 20.00 pesos per head for preservation of environment, ecosystem upon checking in. But as soon as we reported these, they attented to it and it got fixed, except for the continuous flow of water in the toilet.

Beautiful scenic location high in mountain next to the forests. Listening to the insects especially at night is amazing, something you don’t experience living in the city. The restaurant serves excellent food and the staff here is welcoming and friendly. A visit to Tala River right below the hotels entrance is a must. The river is calm and soothing and the water is crystal clear. You are surrounded by a forest with no noise except from nature.

Needs an upgrade on mount pinatubo

Sixteen of us rented two villas. There were plenty of extra mattresses to set up floor bedding. There was a little problem with one toilet, but after removing the top, you could flush it by pushing down on the buttons. The service was a little slow in the restaurant but I’m sure they’re just recovering from the Covid slump. The hot water for tea is VERY hot! We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant outside and had a great time. We enjoyed swimming in the connecting infinity pools and the hot water showers were appreciated. Every view (room, common areas, restaurant) of the miles of surrounding virgin forest was awesome, breathtaking and pastoral. The evening weather was cool (high 60’s) compared to the 80’s in the flats. There was a cursory inspection upon arrival to make sure that we were not carrying outside food and drink. There’s a small store on site to purchase munchies, beer and sodas.

We had our family reunion here. Booked for 70 people. The place is beautiful. The food was okay. Nothing special. Again, to be fair, the place is beautiful. Rooms were okay too. Lots of insects, but we expected that. BUT DON’T COME HERE. There’s no water in the bathroom. We had a few hours with water.. but it was brown. No hot water too. My kids were crying while showering because the brown water was very cold. They don’t provide pool towels. They expect you to bring the towel from your room and use that again when you shower. They don’t allow guests to bring food.. and that’s okay since they have a mini mart. The food are expired though. The staff are nice. They try their best. Special mention to Ms. Kat, she tried to make our stay as comfy as can be. She sent us a pail with dipper with some water so we had some water in our bathroom. Anyway, don’t come here. Unless you’d be comfortable with no water.

Nice view property is at top of mountain
