LIKERT SCALE

Tagaytay’s overall appeal scored 2.6 out of 5, showing that while it is attractive, many of its sites are quite similar to one another. Most of them rely on the same main feature—the view of Taal Volcano. This makes the city appealing but not very unique compared to other destinations that offer similar views.

The most appealing sites are Nurture Wellness Village, Taal Vista Hotel, and People’s Park in the Sky because they add something extra, such as wellness experiences, historic charm, or panoramic views. Meanwhile, the least appealing sites—Tagaytay Haven Hotel Mendez, Hotel Montecillo, and Aroha Tagaytay Hotel and Restaurant—do not stand out much and offer fewer unique attractions.

In terms of access, the city scored 3.2 out of 5, which means most places are fairly easy to get to. Visitors usually find directions clear, and the locations are not too hard to find.

The main issue, however, is the heavy traffic along the main highway, especially during weekends and holidays. Despite this, places like Sky Ranch, Ayala Malls Serin, and Cabezera Ridge View Restaurant are rated easiest to access because they are centrally located and well-known. On the other hand, Praying Hands, Puzzle Mansion, and Hotel Kimberly are harder to reach, which lowers their scores.

Tagaytay’s attractions are mostly modern, with an average score of 1.8 out of 5 for historical significance. This indicates that the city is more of a leisure and nature destination rather than a historically oriented one. However, some sites stand out for their age and cultural importance. These include Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church, Taal Vista Hotel, and Picnic Grove, which have been around for decades and are part of the city’s history. Newer places like Hello Café, Amega Hotel, and Fora Mall scored lower because they are recent and lack historical significance.

The city does fairly well in providing basic needs, with a score of 3.4 out of 5. This means that services like electricity, water, communication, and sanitation are generally reliable.

The best-rated sites for utilities are Nurture Wellness Village, Hotel Carlito Tagaytay, and Tagaytay Haven Hotel Ulat, all of which are known for being well-maintained. However, popular attractions such as Sky Ranch, Picnic Grove, and People’s Park in the Sky scored lower, likely due to older facilities and the large number of visitors that put pressure on utilities.

Onsite facilities in Tagaytay received an average score of 3.1 out of 5, showing that most destinations provide good amenities to make visits comfortable.

The highest-rated sites are Amega Hotel, Casa De Miguelitos Resort, and The Lake Hotel, which are known for their well-developed facilities. In contrast, the lowest-rated sites. Mer-Ben Tapsilogan, Praying Hands, and Mahogany Market offer fewer facilities, as they are simpler and cater more to locals than tourists.

Most sites in Tagaytay are privately owned, which explains the low average score of 1.5 out of 5 in this category. This shows that tourism in the city depends largely on private businesses.

Only a few places, like People’s Park in the Sky, Praying Hands, and Picnic Grove, are under government or public management, making them more accessible to the general public.

Tagaytay’s surroundings scored 3.3 out of 5, which means the city offers a pleasant environment overall. The cool weather, natural scenery, and green spaces give visitors a relaxing atmosphere.

The best-rated sites for surroundings are Tagaytay View Park Hotel, Taal Vista Hotel, and People’s Park in the Sky, which are all located in scenic areas overlooking Taal Volcano. In comparison, Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church, Fora Mall, and 7twenty7 American Diner scored lower because their locations are less nature-focused and not as scenic.
