    The overall concept is great but the execution could be way better. First of all, the staff is great and I commend their overall service (5/5 for service and the staff alone). Secondly, the site itself was nicely built with a beautiful pool in the middle and heated tubs behind. Several amenities like toiletries, cooking utensils, and etc were provided. Finally we lit a bonfire to top off our last night. However I can only give 3 stars because there were several issues. First, they seem to be saving fuel and restricting the flow of both electricity and water. Electrical flow to appliances like the refrigerator, microwave, water kettle and SPECIALLY air conditioners seem erratic and would die down and come back alive again. The AC was basically dead all morning up until late night so be ready to be drenched in the morning sun’s heat. The refrigerators are not cooling down the drinks at all. Water kettle takes ages to boil, and the list goes on. They only turned up the electricity at full blast after several calls and complaints. They would also cut off the water supply and we had to call them up again so that they would restore it. Second, the tents were also not well maintained. In one of the mattresses there were thousands of live ants. Luckily the kids who were sleeping on it didn’t get swarmed. They did clean and replace the mattress. Overall we had fun, but they could just sort out the issues with the ESSENTIAL things above, it would have been a 5/5 stay.

    Dubbed as the first glamping dome in the country, it is a balanced combination of relaxation and adventure. It is just 20mins away from Tagaytay. The road from the hi-way is an off-the-beaten path that the entrance may seem difficult to find. It currently features two air-conditioned domes with a private natural pool. Dome 1 is bigger and a thousand more expensive than the other at Php7,500/night. It is complete with 2 beds, couch, microwave, personal ref, electric kettle, water dispenser, dining area, and own comfort room. We ordered food upon booking for P250 per meal each person. They prepared a boodle feast for dinner that includes grilled liempo, fried tilapia, ensalada, and fresh coconut juice. It is a plus that they grow their own vegetables and fruits. The staff are very approachable and accommodating. They also prepared our breakfast extra early as we have to travel back to manila at 6:00am. Another highlight of our stay is the bonfire. We made campfire s’mores wearing our pajamas. Aside from the well-maintained dome, the whole area is surrounded with lush greenery. Don’t be surprised if you chance upon frogs at night. This experience is far from the usual. It is a great break away from hustle and bustle of the city. Booking is available through airbnb.

    We reserved Dome 5 and opted for Set 2 of the boodle feast Place is very serene and quiet. Enjoyed the cold deepwell water pool alot Definitely worth the stay to relax and disconnect. Advise though Bring mosquito repellant they will attack you late in the afternoon. Specially if you go for a dip on those times.

    Overall it’s a good place to just escape and be close to nature. Pros: It’s a different stay concept of living inside a dome Has an outdoor cooking area Done is air-conditioned(via small window AC) but found it sufficient enough to cool the dome. You can hear the birds, insects and everything the flora has to offer from inside your dome. Cons: Location is easy to miss. Suggest you familiarize yourself with the entrance by watching the video. No hot water in bathroom No Wi-Fi and barely any internet signal on your phone. If you are expecting to stay connected for work or other emergencies then keep this in mind. There is no phone in the room to connect with staff so you are on your own once you have checked in so make sure to ask whatever questions you have when meeting staff at the gate. Most domes have access via patchy path and includes climbs. You need to have certain level of fitness to access this if you plan to carry bags/personal belonging. There are lots of bugs, lizards, frogs and other insects all around (including bathroom). If you are sensitive to this then avoid this place all together. There is no bonfire in your personal dome area which is a shame as it is usually one of the highlights of camping and considering this is glamping you would expect one. There does not seem to be any limit of when the music goes off in domes so if you have someone who likes to party all night then the domes are not soundproof so be mindful if you are a light sleeper. Upper part of dome is transparent and there are centralized lights around which don’t go off in the night so you will have ample of light in the room all night. Carry a eye mask if you think this is a problem. There is no other activity you can do apart from dipping in the plunge pool in a apparently natural water(which seemed very cloudy) so most of our family didn’t get in it. Bring cards, board games, etc to kill time. The concept is great but for the price we paid there was a lot left to be desired for.

    The concept is very unique. I loved the interiors of the dome, as well as how well the pool was landscaped. My only complaint is that I started to feel itchy after a few minutes in the natural pool. I guess unchlorinated pools aren't for me. So just a tip I guess, is for those with sensitive skin, maybe try to avoid spending too much time in the water. Other than that, the experience was quite pleasant and the caretakers were always ready to assist.

    Definitely one of the go-to places of our barkada whenever we wanted a quiet time away from the busy metro. Will for sure come back and can’t wait to try their in-house restau, Diné. ✨ Rooms are spacious. Staff were accommodating and helpful. Good place for a barkada getaway.

    One of the best glamping experience I had!! Their service is commendable since the “ates” are just always around to help assist. You’re really are in a separate/isolated space with your dome, although the idea is a bit scary, it is actually refreshing. The domes are air-conditioned so there’s no issue with heat, the pool is very cool, and surprisingly clean. We were told that the pool is a natural pool - no chemicals and uses natural filtration from plants which is unique and environment friendly! Animals are allowed to roam around so expect chickens, cats, and dogs to pass by your domes every now and then. Although a bit far from the main road, it’s really really REALLY peaceful and luxurious overall! Will definitely go back again, especially now that they have in-house food with their restaurant.

    1. Dome 6 didn't meet my expectations based on the photos on socmed - as they are not quite updated due to the following status of the area when we arrived: - more than 50% of the globe lights on the trees were not functioning - insuffient lighting at dining, kitchen, and pool area, making it uncomfortable to take a dip at night - sheets and pillows outside the dome smells like it was not washed for a long time already (realizing that when we woke up the next day, 3 dogs are using it as beds) we were not able to enjoy this area - walkway from kitchen to dome is quite narrow, my partner was hit by the cactus - bed had a weird "dugtungan" at the middle making it uncomfortable to sleep on that area 2. Food: - We had to wait more than an hour from the time we ordered breakfast until it was served - Too pricey 3. Overall facility - Insufficient lighting along walkways (you won't be able to enjoy walking around to be with nature) - very narrow and slippery walkways - no railings and safety provisions - not worth the price (even if I got it on a promo)

    A nice air-conditioned dome room (can fit up to 8 people), a cooking/dining area, and a small pool to soak in. I can't comment on the restaurant and their food since we brought and cooked our own food. I'd rate this 4 stars during summer, and cool but dry months. Pros: - The dome is hotel quality. Just enough space to hang around in after eating and soaking. A tiny aircon (at least during this June) was enough to keep 8 people Cold. Soft beds. - The bathroom isn't too bad too. Plenty of space to place/hang your towels. No hot water though. Body soap and shampoo/conditioner included. - The kitchen is stocked with a fridge, stove, BBQ area, and enough cooking and eating utensils. Drinking water also included. - The pool, at least the small one we got, is really only meant for soaking in for adults, but might have enough space for children to swim in. Great way to cool down during summer, might be too cold in other times of the year. - There's a bonfire area near the parking lot. We weren't in the mood to go all the way there during/after the rain. Might be a nice place to hang out during cooler and dry months like December. Cons: - The road to get there is tight. Can be a hassle if you bump into another car going the opposite way. - We went during the rainy season. I don't recommend it because of the termite queen swarm after a heavy storm, and our dome's dining area covered by a thin foldable canopy is NOT meant for rain. The whole area is a mess afterwards from the rain and dead termites. Not the most fun environment to dine in. The cheaper price during rainy season is justified! - Minor issue with our dome's door installed upside down. - No Wi-Fi. Phone signal and data is like, 1 bar. - No TV, which is fine for me. - Not much of a view except being surrounded by trees. - Some well behaved stray cats and dogs. A problem if you mind them. - No room service if that's what you're expecting.

    This is such a different experience for me and my family. If you want to have a Quik get away from the city all you need to do is pack your bags and do Glamping. It will only take 2 to 3 hours. I really like the natural swimming pool. This is really be camping with air-conditioned room or shall I say domes. You can bring your own food to cook and drinks. It’s nice to ask for a bonfire at night. Please bring your own citronella spray for insects.

    The concept of staying in a dome and indulging in a refreshing dip in a natural pool amidst picturesque natural surroundings is truly an exceptional and calming experience. The writer describes it as a highly invigorating experience. The staff's exceptional hospitality, accommodating nature, and kindness were greatly appreciated and contributed to making their stay even more enjoyable
