Paradores del Castillo

Large family meal ( 12). Good welcome and efficient friendly service. Food came quickly and was hot! |Yes I know I am in Philippines and other dishes ordered were all local but I went for a thin pizza and it was excellent- exceeded my expectations. |The Filipino food all disappeared so we can take that as a very good sign. |All in all very good food and nice setting too. Would return .

The place truly captures the essence of the town of Taal, making you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. The view from the balcony perfectly showcases the beauty of the town, adding to the nostalgic experience. The service was excellent as well, with the staff accommodating our requests promptly and efficiently.

A Charming Stay at Paradores Del Castillo – A Step Back in Time! Our group of 11 had the pleasure of staying at Paradores Del Castillo from February 7-9, 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotel perfectly blends history and comfort, with each room beautifully furnished in 1800s style, adding to its charm and authenticity. One of the highlights of our stay was the warm and attentive staff, who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made us feel at home. Another standout was the delicious food at Cucina de Jardin—every meal was a treat, showcasing fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a unique historical experience, Paradores Del Castillo is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Lovely old building with delightfully renovated rooms and a shady garden. Taal is a pretty place to wander around, with some nice restaurants. We were unable to visit the eponymous volcano at the time of visit, so do check its activity beforehand.

The place is pleasant, quaint and has lovely well preserved heritage structures. Staff was accomodating and well mannered. Food in their restaurants are at par with Manila standards. Although our friends ,who stayed in the annex bldg, did not get to sleep because of noise from basketball court which had very late till early morning games.

Sobrang ganda ng place! Very relaxing. The place gives you the feeling of being proud to be a Filipino. Though a heritage structure, they have a very refreshing outdoor swimming pool with a view of the Balayan Bay. They serve buffet breakfast for an overnite accommodation.

Great place to stay in Taal. Great view of the lake and across town of Lemery. The location is near the national historical sites of the traditional houses.

If you're into historic classic places and experiences. Then Taal is a place to visit. Where else to stay to complete the experience? Paradores Del Castillo, the tagline A Place In Time really matches the time you'll have in this hotel. An old house turned into hotel with old times feels but with modern comforts of a hotel. Their restaurant offers Taal local delicacies which are a must try. Tapang Taal, Suman Taal, tawilis, Maliputo fish, etc.

My family is from Balisong, but moved to the US decades ago. We came to this place to visit family and stayed at this beautiful hotel. Authentic Filipino heritage is well preserved here from the decorations to the architecture. The rooms are charming and all have air conditioning. The views from our rooms were immaculate. Breakfast buffet with traditional Filipino food was delicious and the service was warm and inviting. The surrounding streets had rows of heritage homes turned into museums. And a short walk to the historic Taal Cathedral built in the 1500s. Visiting this place felt like a stepping into a Time Capsule. Our stay was magical. Highly recommend.
