The hotel also has a
free-form swimming pool, the 700-seater Sampaguita Ballroom, the Bougainvillea
Tent, 7 smaller but well-designed and flexible function rooms,
muscle-stretching gym, game room and children’s play area and the tropical
style Ylang-Ylang Spa.
Horseback-riding is a popular activity and, for the more glitzy ones, the
Casino Filipinos a stone’s throw-away. A more popular itinerary for guests
though includes lake tours and a visit to the Taal Volcano.
