Paradores Del Castillo

Painstaking attention to detail is put into Paradores del Castillo to help transport guests to a time when the Ilustrados’ thoughts turned to something far more important than themselves. Its terrific pasta & halo-halo are timeless though. Don Juan Boodle House is a can’t-miss foodie destination in a surprising locale. Get ready to fight for delicious sinaing na tulingan, adobong dilaw & crispy tawilis. And in a nod to Spain, the paella, chipirones & gambas at Cuchara y Tenedor were superb. To complete the trip, one should drop in at Taal Tees Souvenir Shop. All these are a convenient walk from Paradores. Like its accommodation costs, food & item prices at said places were reasonable. The owner’s passion to keep alive the family heritage & promote Taal’s rich history & culture makes the whole experience possible. Impressive also are the staff who take pride in what they do. Special mention to Manager Suzette & Tour Host Jersa whom my kids loved.

We stayed at Casa de Herencia which was just behind the church. It was decent. Lots of bugs though on the ground floor but the sheets and beds were clean. You can't expect too much from an old house but they did their best to maintain it. The staff overall were very helpful and accommodating though the front desk girl was a bit annoying. The manager also did not want to honor Senior Citizen's Discount for an extra bed we requested, which was a bit off-putting. The breakfast at the restaurant was pretty good. Overall its above average for a provincial stay in the Philippines but definitely not at par with international standards. It is still nice to experience something different in the countryside.

Really nice people and the deck was a great place to drink an evening beer and watch the evening thunderstorms roll in.

My friends and I decided to book a hotel in Batangas as a last minute getaway and Paradores del Castillo is one of the few affordable choices left. We honestly didn’t expect it to be a remarkable hotel but it proved us wrong. It has exceeded our expectations! Affordable stay and yet, we experienced a top notch service. From the very accommodating and welcoming staff, good food, beautiful view of the pool and garden, and peaceful area. Everything that you need if you wish to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The place was truly like little Vigan, vintage beauty with a touch of modern which is the pool area. They also have their own restaurant (Cucina De Jardin) that offers quality food and amazing service. Very recommendable! It was a memorable stay so we’re definitely going back! 🥰

Liked the very old house and cleanliness. Nice bed

Stayed overnight at Paradores Del Castillo. Location is perfect since it is near the heart of the poblacion. Walking distance to most of the places of historical interest including the largest Catholic church in Asia. Staff are extra friendly and courteous. They anticipate your needs The room, as well as the common areas are well maintained and clean. Food selections and portions are excellent. The quality of the food and its waitstaff are comparable to 4-5 - star hotel restaurants.

The Best hotel to stay here in Taal, I’m from Canada but I was born in the Philippines and taal is my hometown and I always see this hotel and wondered what it would feel like to stay in that hotel. The staff are best in doing their work, rooms have a historic feeling but still feels modern, the restaurant has such great foods, the pool with a beautiful view of the garden. That’s all i wanted to say it’s a great hotel

The bathroom shower curtain too short, water going out on the floor.

The facilities is opt for accidents or fall. Ground floors have a lot of uneven payment that will cause accident. I don't know if they ever had any claim from their guests? Likewise, they are the only hotel we encounter limiting bottle of water to 2 bottles for the duration of your stay. The rest you have to pay Php42.00 each. However, their bfast is super great!
