A few weeks ago, my friends and I had a spontaneous overnight getaway to Club Balai Isabel Resort. Club Balai Isabel Resort is a top-notch resort in Talisay, Batangas. It is only 2 hours away from Manila.
All guests are required to drop by the Front Desk. This is where you can get your keys, deposit your valuables and book your spa service or other activities.
Club Balai Isabel is a big compound so it has a variety of accommodations to offer. It is estimated that their maximum capacity is around 800 people. You can choose from so many types of rooms as well as villas and cottages that are recommended for groups.
I really appreciate that everything is well-maintained. At night, all the trees are lighted so you can roam around leisurely.
This is our 2-storey room with 3 queen beds, 2 twin beds and 1 single bed on the first floor. We also have a TV dresser and a cabinet. The rest rooms both on the first and second level are very clean. They provided a complete stash of toiletries: lemongrass soap, shampoo with condition, toothbrush and toilet paper. Clean towels are also provided.
We had complimentary water and coffee. There's a mini fridge under the kitchen counter and an electric kettle.
There's a private veranda overseeing the landscape by the Terazza Cafe.

12 Things You Can Do on Your Overnight Stay
After settling in on your cozy accomodation, here are my suggestions on what you can do on your overnight stay.
12. Take a picnic
11. Take a stroll
Club Balai Isabel has a beautiful landscape. There's also a butterfly sanctuary.
My favorite relaxation place is Tagong Gubat. The place is very serene.
Coming from the city, the environment it offers is calm at peace and in tune with nature.
Taking a stroll here will surely bring you a soothing feeling.
10. Try the obstacle course
If you're with a big group, you can challenge each other with the obstacle courses.
9. Rent a bike
There are many bikes to choose from. There's even a double bike.
8. Go for a swim
Club Balai Isabel has 3 swimming pools. This is the largest one.
The second largest is closer to the Terazza Cafe and the lake.
7. Day dream by the lake
Although it's a lake, they placed some sand so it feels like a beach front.
Indeed, one of the strongest points of Club Balai Isabel is its Taal Lake View.
Take time to chill here.
If weather permits, you could also catch the sunset.
This is my first time to see Taal Lake from Batangas... I usually see it from Tagaytay.
6. Pray
Inside Balai Club Isabel is the Spousal of Mary and Joseph Chapel. Many Catholic weddings have taken place here.
Every Sunday at 9 am, there is a mass.
5. Play Ball
Club Balai Isabel has a Basketball Court and a Tennis Court. They also have Billiards and Darts.
4. Avail of their spa service (600 php/hour)
You can book a massage service to take place on your room or on their spa near the Butterfly Sanctuary. If you want a hard pressure, I highly recommend Alice. I was satisfied with her service.
