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.
