Urban Suites Tagaytay: Our “Couples Retreat Getaway” experience + giveaway

Since Ian got a new work, we seldom see each other. We both got busy at work so we’re thinking of having a break and need to unwind. Luckily, Ms. Irish Arbo PM-ed us on our Facebook page telling us that she will be sponsoring us a 3D2N ACCOMMODATION. Guess where? In Tagaytay! So timely that we immediately accepted the offer.

ABOUT URBAN SUITES TAGAYTAY

SMDC Wind Residences

It’s a family business who owns condo units at SMDC Wind Residences. They now have a total of 5 units from Tower 3 and 5 with different designs and setup. They got their first unit last 2016.

Click here to see their five units.

They purchased these because it’s their dream to have a house in Tagaytay but they decided to open their units for daily tourists who wants to experience Tagaytay without breaking a budget. The people’s favorite is their Minimalist Condo because of it’s cozy feels.

Urban Suites Tagaytay is located at Tower 3.

SERVICES

MASSAGE

Our package consists a free massage so we didn’t wasted any time. We got pampered for atleast one hour. Wooo! The massage was really good and relaxing! We almost fell aslept. LOL.

The only photos I got during our massage. HEHE.

They have a massage room but according to our source, it has only 2 beds so most of their customers request a room service. It costs 500 php per head good for 1 hour.

BREAKFAST

In our package, it has complimentary breakfast for 2 days! What I loved about this was they delivered the food straight into your room. This is life!
