Filipina Wanderer goes to Club Balai Isabel Batangas. A 3hour trip from Las Pinas, we took SLEX to Talisay ( see below for direction instructions). This has to be my one of the longest drives I have done, with 3 of my bestbuds it is worth it.

The staff we’re very accommodating. They treated us like a princess. It was drizzling and the Manong Guard helped us to the lobby. Thumbs up!
Our accommodation includes free breakfast. Since we are not really prepared for this trip we had our breakfast – lunch – dinner at their restaurant. The food is fair. They serve different varieties. They have a small kitchen inside the rooms, you may be able to use it.
Due to much excitement, I discovered I have more vain pictures than the place :(sad). Our room was upgraded from Sampaguita Manor [Php5,544 for 2-4pax] to Deluxe Lake Shore Suite [Php 11,825]. Since we only have vanity pictures, I was not able to capture the magnificence of our room. The room is very spacious with fully equipped kitchen perfect for the family outing. The view is amazing too, fronting Taal Lake, which we can go back to Club Balai again. I promise to post more pictures 🙂
The Sampaguita Hotel Rooms is a stand-alone structure composed of 6 rooms that can accommodate up to 4 people each with two queen-sized beds. There is a small lobby in the middle of the structure.

The place look really nice and with a view of Taal. This would really be a good place to wake upin the morning admiring the beauty of Tall Lake and Volcano.
Awww. Anyway, you can come back again to take pictues of the place itself. Make sure to have a tripod with you to get yourself included in the picture =P
Club Balai Isabel is famous because of it’s tranquil atmosphere, a perfect place for wedding reception. The price is hefty but fair enough if you have the scenic view of Taal, excellent customer service and nice rooms.
I’ve always wanted to try Balai Isabel particularly for their amenities. But since we were tight on the budget, my family and I just decided to book at Kabayan Resort.

Nice hotel and an even nicer view of the lake and the volcano. By any chance, do they offer tours as well for their guests going up to Taal Volcano?

I guess they do. Most boat rides cost P1500 to Taal for 4 pax. It might be best to contact the resort for straight details 🙂
