I am always in the look out of new place to stay and or new
adventure to try. And of course, summer is the perfect season to try new things
and conquer fears. And that’s exactly some of the reasons why I like and love
coming back to Club Balai Isabel
located in Talisay, Batangas. Every visit has its unique story
to tell. Every visit has a new adventure worth sharing. I remember the first
time I was there, the company where I am working held our annual offsite
team building and this year, Club Balai Isabel will be our host, for the 2nd
time around. It is because Club Balai Isabel always store something new and
exciting adventures, it offers beyond the normal setting. I guess, that reason alone
made the management of the company I am working for entrust its 1,300 employees,
including me, to Club Balai Isabel to have an awesome summer.
On the other note, I was lucky to be one of the firsts who tried the newest attraction that connotes with physical strength and adventure nestled just 2 hours away from Manila – Club Balai Isabel Aqua Park! Aside from the perfect splendid view of Taal Volcano, they revealed what summer feels like at Club Balai Isabel. Well, I assure you that it is an all-out fun and full of adventure, as always!

Club Balai Isabel has the biggest inflatable aqua park in
the Philippines, having an area of 5,000 square meters installed at Taal Lake. It contains giant slide,
trampolines, hamster wheels, human launchers, swan floaters, towers and many
more. It looks like an easy-peasy Aqua Park but boy, I was wrong. It needs all
the physical strength that you have plus a lot of courage to do the obstacle
course. I admit that I had a second thought sliding on the giant slide but it
seems that going down where I used to go up was a scarier than sliding down.
With the help of my friends and P; I prayed, I closed my eyes and voila, I was
floating at the cool water of Taal Lake.
It seems that I need to do this more often to conquer my fear of heights but
nevertheless, everything is a whole lot of fun and definitely, will do this
again.
I did enjoy the inflatables though, it was quite tiring and
exhausting being on it at noon. Just imagine the scorching heat of the sun and
all the energy needed to jump on the trampolines. With that having said, I came
up with these tips to fully enjoy the adventure Club Balai Isabel Aqua Park brought to us.
- Drink lots of water. Hydration is the key to have a wonderful time with the inflatables. I hope that there could be water station nearby.
- You are free from any medical condition and in good shape to run, slide, jump and swim. Safety first.
- Wear sunscreen for UV protection.
- Wear proper swimming attire. I will not advise bikinis as you will do a lot of movement so better come to think of the worst – avoid wardrobe malfunction, better yet, wear rash guard.
- Action camera that can be wet and be soak in the water to document your adventure.
- Seize the moment! Have fun!
