Club Balai Isabel is a huge resort with different types of accommodations to suit your needs and before getting inside, the guard at the entrance would check your booking status and verify with the front office before they let your vehicle in. Our booked accommodation was a lakeside suite room but we were upgraded to a lakefront suite, which was just great.
Regular capacity is 2pax and maximum capacity is 4 with an add on of 1,500 pesos per additional head with buffet breakfast included. What's even nicer about this room is its facing the beautiful view of Taal Lake. It has a small kitchen but all hotel rooms does not allow cooking. You can do cooking when you book for Villas instead. We rested for a bit, washed up and took naps and then suddenly the toilet bowl started acting weird, it wont flush. We called maintenance to fix it while we went out to have dinner and then came back only to find out our CR is getting worst .... yes its disgusting and they cant fix it! We demanded a transfer to a different room and they have no choice but obliged. The only available rooms were the more expensive suites in the Malvar building. We cant helped but be awed with our new room, that little bumped a while ago proved to be a blessing, from our original booked accommodation of 6k a night, we are here now enjoying an 11k worth of daily stay. God is great!

.... and its even more lovely when morning broke out !!!
Our Malvar 401 room has a loft with 2 queen size beds and a bed with a pullout on the main level. A maximum of 6 pax can occupy this room. One large balcony facing Taal lake and a regular sized balcony on the side.
3 days is not enough to fully appreciate the place, it's quite huge. The only activity I had the chance of doing was swimming in the 2 pools and of course eating and sleeping. There are actually 3 pools within the place but the other one is quite crowded due to the fact that the main dining area where buffet eating were being held is housed in there.

Kumintang Pool |
Kumintang pool is the largest among the 3 pools and they are open till midnight, the 2 pools close a little earlier. I couldn't resist the chance to go night swimming, it was necessary to clear my mind and that night was just perfect, the moon peeking, the lights twinkling and the atmosphere was very inviting. I was ready to go by myself until I was able to entice one friend to join me. The right swimming attire is a must though, no shorts and no tshirts allowed and a number of lifeguards were manning the area checking every nook and cranny and of course assuring the safety of their guests, which was just what they need to do.
