10/10
I was looking for a quiet place with great view of the Taal Lake so I could spend a couple of days with my elderly parents before returning the the US. I narrowed down my list to 3 places: the Taal Vista, Lake Hotel and Carmelence View. Boy am I glad I chose Carmelence View! I based my decision after reading the great reviews about the place. The room is very clean. The place is very private and you feel like you are in your own private rest house. The view of the Taal Lake is awesome! And again very private unlike the usual hotels. You will feel like you are one with nature (the fog will even enter your room when you have your floor to ceiling sliding windows open. I just wished the Family Room or Sky King was available because the units have better layout with stunning views of the lake. The staff is genuinely friendly and eager to help make your stay as wonderful as possible. I like the daily breakfast on the patio. Glo and Cristina are wonderful hosts! I consider them hosts because that's how you will feel around them. The place is also great for family reunions. I will definitely recommend this place and will surely be back.
