We celebrated the 49th Wedding Anniversary of our dear parents at Taal Vista Hotel’s Veranda last December 22, 2018. Being The eldest, we do the honor of planning and taking charge for this. It was actually almost Christmas so we thought of celebrating it as a family get-together.

I booked a superior twin room for an overnight stay for three because others do not intend to stay overnight. Click here for our staycation blog.

We were seated at the right side of the reataurants where there is a view of the lake. (yes, partly since there were lots of trees). The place was not crowded compared to other eat all you can restaurant.
