It was a lazy Friday afternoon when I got bombarded with thrilling text messages from my ate slash friend, Jessa. This very cute woman asked me if I want to go to Batangas because her fine brother who was supposedly the one coming with her changed his plans at the last minute. The reservation is a waste if it would not be used so, she considered me and our other friend, Stiff to be her companions. Of course, I would love to! And guess what, so sweet of Ate Jessa for she also invited Dada having known that it is our monthsary that week. It made me more excited then! I do not usually tolerate this kind of unexpected game plans especially that I have a period. However, I miss my friends so bad already since I transferred jobs. I have nothing to do that Saturday and Sunday anyway since boyfie and I still haven't talked about any arrangements yet. Moreover, my wanderlust soul got triggered that it kept on whispering in my head. When I got home, I took the chance to ask my parents. That moment was kinda new because I have to give a short notice to them weeks before when going out, restrictively if overnight, but they said yes right away! Yay!!! I tell ya, mah 'rents have been very supportive! Mama kept on talking about the pieces of bread and fillings from the resort. Paps went here already as well and he made kwentos about his experiences that hyped me so much. Oh, yie-ah. Hooray for spontaneous friends and loving family! 💖 CLUB BALAI ISABEL Club Balai Isabel is a two-year residential resort community located at the very serene Talisay, Batangas. Made possible by the well-trusted Techno-Asia Construction & Development, Inc., they have established four-hectare private subdivision and nine-hectare resort with full amenities -- perfect for rest and recreation. Its position is next to the calming Taal Lake. Thus, to the smallest active volcano in the world, Mount Taal. Aside from its quick access to the ridge of Taal and yummy restaurants, Club Balai Isabel is more popularized because of its very own Aqua Park, an inflatable water park spotted in the waters of the lake. The management is constantly making an expansion for the betterment of Club Balai Isabel which indeed, gives comfort to the ones who want to escape the city living.
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT Upon entering the vicinity of the club, the security guard would ask your reservation name. Then, he would radio it to the admins and let you in. This is one way on how the management handles the people coming in. This is also to know that there are visitors coming to the office. Agree? I guess so. So after a few walks, you would be headed to the office where you would be greeted by the friendly and approachable staff who are wearing Filipino dresses proud and loud. Like what I said, this is where you would pay the balance. The teller would then give a little orientation about the place and voila! You can go to your rooms after since you have the keys already or roam around since you already have the map of the club. While the check-out? Easy peasy! Go to the office and surrender the keys. That's just how it basically goes. THE ROOMS My squad had an overnight stay in Club Balai Isabel. I do not have any expectations for the rooms every time I am traveling. It is just a place to rest and sleep, eh? Well, that's just for me. But to be honest... The room is big enough that it features a small kitchen space and a veranda. It has a smart television and yes, you can bring your hard drives here if you want to watch your favorite movies or series. It has complimentary drinking water and coffee for the guests as well. THE ACTIVITIES There are a lot of things to do in Club Balai Isabel. You can exercise yet have fun at the same time by cycling around the whole resort, swimming in their big pools, trying water sports like jet skis, boating, and more. Would not forget to emphasize the very famous Aqua Park, of course! There are billiards, courts, and even a chapel inside. Aside from these, Club Balai Isabel is just perfect when you want to have some beautiful photos you want to keep forever. Its gardens and viewing decks (and actually the whole resort) are amazingly photogenic. You would enjoy here, I promise. THE FOOD The buffet breakfast is included in the price. You would find your sinangag, cereals, and other favorite morning meals here. The chef can also cook scrambled eggs and tomato-onion omelet in front of you. But do you know what, you would also enjoy dining in at Terraza Café and Restaurant, Isabel's Panaderia and Pizzeria, and Cafe Kumintang! No, I tell you, no -- Club Balai Isabel is not like the usual resort who sells expensive food. In fact, it is priced just right. You can have a hearty meal for as low as 150 pesos! So then, you would truly enjoy your stay here. Happy eyes, happy tummy, happy heart are all-in here in the club! Still feeling surreal as I make this blog post. I never thought I can ever have a spontaneous and happy weekend like this. It all started with a random invite and everything else came like a lightning. My mind is refreshed and my heart is grateful! It is super fun to spend time with people who suck the negatives out of you and refill it with sunshines, unicorns, and blooms. Glad I found the realest people in the world! TY&ILYSM, Ate Jessa, Stiff, and Dada! 'Til the next! 💖 Club Balai Isabel Fairways Drive, Talisay, Batangas http://www.balaiisabel.com/
