Sunrise Holiday Mansion

The Resort and Its Setting

Sunrise Holiday Mansion is an independently run timeshare property affiliated with RCI, set in Tagaytay, a municipality in Cavite province roughly 60km south of Manila. Tagaytay sits around 600 metres above sea level, which gives it a noticeably cooler climate than Manila and the surrounding lowlands — one of the main reasons the town has long been a favourite weekend escape for Filipinos and visitors alike. As an RCI-affiliated resort rather than a branded chain property, Sunrise Holiday Mansion has its own character and management, while still giving owners the option to deposit their week into the RCI exchange system.

Tagaytay: The Area and What to Do

Tagaytay's main draw is the view: the town rings the edge of the Taal Volcano caldera, looking out over Taal Lake with the volcano itself rising from the water. Boat trips across the lake, viewpoints around the Picnic Grove, and the gardens at People's Park in the Sky are all within a few kilometres and make for easy half-day outings. The cooler air means outdoor dining and walking are comfortable here in a way they often aren't at sea level, and many visitors build a stay around an early start to catch sunrise over the lake. Manila itself is about an hour and a half to two hours away by road, so a stay at Sunrise Holiday Mansion can work equally well as a highland break on its own or as a side trip from the capital.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Sunrise Holiday Mansion can list it for resale or short-term rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of prospective buyers.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a big-brand transfer desk. Instead, transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, so before agreeing a price, both sellers and buyers should confirm directly with the resort: the transfer fee for putting the week in a new owner's name, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale. These details vary by property and aren't published figures we can quote here, so treat the resort's management office as the source of truth before any deposit changes hands.

What a resale buyer gets is the week itself, under whatever usage rights the original owner holds — it does not automatically include RCI membership or banked exchange credits, which are generally separate and tied to the member's own RCI account. Anyone buying with exchanges in mind should ask the seller whether the week is currently enrolled with RCI and what's needed to set up exchange access after the transfer.

Practical Notes for Renters and Buyers

Renters drawn to Sunrise Holiday Mansion are usually after the Tagaytay climate and the Taal views rather than resort amenities in the beach-resort sense, so it suits travellers planning sightseeing around the lake, volcano viewpoints, and Picnic Grove, or using the resort as a cooler base within reach of Manila. The dry season, November to May, is the most popular stretch for outdoor plans, though the altitude keeps temperatures mild for most of the year. Anyone exchanging in through RCI should check availability and booking windows with RCI ahead of travel, since access depends on the exchange calendar rather than a fixed booking system.
