I have been living here in tagaytay for 2 months now, the view from the place I rent is spectacular, this is a good place for fresh fruit and vegetables, good roads, easier access to travel abroad, but dumaguete has better dive sites near by, also if you need to extend your visa , you need to go to manila, my helper said dumaguete (pelinky)market is a bit cheaper, some great restaurants here also, josephines seafood is top class, bag of beans for english pies and great bread, too many to list. like dumaguete they are building a robinson, and nearby sm also, to open in a year or 2. more shops in dumaguete than here, but you can always go to greenhills in manila for that, about 90 mins away. it is quiet here during the week, gets a bit busier when the manila crowd come up for the weekend, not as many foreigners here as dumaguete, I like it here and so do my helpers but I have fond memories of dumaguete too, more comfortable climate for me here, mind you taal volcano is unpredictable, but so is life, anyway both places are good for different reasons.
