Club Balai Isabel – Talisay, Batangas

bajin — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 09:16:17 +0000

Right on the shores of the world-famous Taal Lake and across from its volcano is a place where you can relax, connect and be with nature. Club Balai Isabel offers an option for an active lifestyle with all the comforts of city living. The resort offers an up-close and personal view of the lake and the world-famous active volcano. It is a mere fifteen minutes away from Tagaytay Rigdge and about two hours away from Manila via SLEX-Sta. Rosa.

For years, Tagaytay has been made famous by its view of Taal Lake and its volcano. However, the lakeside towns never became tourist destinations due to the lack of resort facilities. That is until Techno-Asia ventured into hospitality industry and Club Balai Isabel was born. Techno-Asia’s brand promise of creating lasting relationships and Filipino hospitality translate well into the resort setting, and is the reason for its quick rise to success. Today, Techno-Asia’s vision has grown from a four-hectare private subdivision to a nine-hectare resort.

Club Balai Isabel’s amenities and facilities make it an excellent choice for holidays, corporate events, and special occasions. Enjoy the food served at the Terraza Cafe, take a refreshing dip in the pool, hang out in the cabanas; enjoy more active pursuits such as kayaking and sailing, or take a boat ride and get a closer look at Taal Volcano’s crater on horseback or on foot.

Amanpulo Resort – Pamalican Islands

bajin — Mon, 31 May 2010 11:21:28 +0000

Sitting in the middle of nowhere is a paradise named Amanpulo. It is a luxury resort situated on the famous Pamalican Island, a 5.5 kilometer-long 90-hectare private island among the Cuyo group of islands in central Philippines just atop of the Sulu sea. This island is surrounded by seven kilometers of white sand and coral reefs.

The marine environment around the island was declared a protected zone. Fishing and docking are prohibited. Pamalican has a superb beach, five-and-a-half kilometers long on the side where the resort is located. It is wilder and windier on the other side which is another kind of attraction altogether.

Accomodation

There are about 29 seafront accomodations called casitas(guesthouses) that are a few steps away from the beach and yet still discreetly hidden by the trees for privacy. These casitas, all inspired by the local “bahay kubo” and concieved in neutral colors, are designed by a renowned Filipino architect Bobby Manosa. They are all made out of native materials including the furnitures on its interiors. On top of that, it has cool wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a wonderfully large bathroom space.

Guests can choose to stay in the beach casitas which have the best location along the beach; in the tree top casitas nestled in the branches of large trees; or in the hillside casitas perched on the hill’s summit, offering a spectacular view of the sea.

40 Units
29 Beach Casitas
7 Hillside Casitas
4 Treetop Casitas

All the accommodations are extra ordinary in terms of both size and luxury. The rooms are huge-at least 65 square meters-and bright because of immense picture windows. Beige walls, polished wood floors, interior shutters, designer rattan furniture and beautiful accessories crafted locally, complete the interior design.

The Perfect Beach

Amanpulo’s pristine beaches is the main reason why many people from around the world travel in this small island which is too far from civilization. It’s white sands are so pure and soft as a baby powder. But it’s remoteness is also part of its drawing power that’s why people are willing to travel half way around the world and spend a small fortune just to stay here. Besides, there’s something incredibly luxurious about having a beautiful beach all to one’s self in this age of pollution, overpopulation and over development (yes, we’re talking about Boracay!).

The Stellar Service

For its regular visitors, the best feature of Amanpulo is its stellar service second to none. The resort will give you the impression that in this small paradise, you can have everything. You can have a full American breakfast by the beach, a haircut on the verandah or a Margarita pizza and they’ll all be served to you. Considering that it sits on a middle of nowher – the nearest large city is at least 8 hours away by boats- makes the service even more impressive.

And more than anything, the service here is also very personalized. So much so that they call their guest by the name. That’s an astounding feat considering the number of guests who stays here at any given time.

How to Get There

Amanpulo is accessed by scheduled charter flight from Manila. Guests fly directly to Pamalican Island in a 19-seater, twin-engine turboprop, landing at the resort’s private airstrip. Flight time is about an hour. Actually, the joy of an Amanpulo holiday begins a few minutes before touchdown when you see the clear azure waters around the island.

Since Amanpulo is an ultra exclusive resort, quite a number of their regular guests arrive here via their private jets and yatchs.

Getting There

There are many means of transportation you can take from Tagbilaran pier or airport to Alona Beach in Tawala, Panglao. Metered taxis are the safest. But for those who love adventure, you can opt for the tricycles (motobikes with sidecar) or the habal-habal (motorbikes that can take four people the least).

Always, as usual, haggle with the price before taking the ride. Some drivers, although rare, outrageously charge high fares especially to tourists.

From Tagbilaran Pier/Airport

Take a metered taxi to Panglao Island. Tell the driver which resort you want and they know where it is. Most Boholanos know where Alona Beach is.

Please take note however that taxis charged 50% of the total meter reading when they travel outside city limits. Going to Pyramid will take about PhP380-400. Taxi companies charge you extra (about PhP75 per hour) if you let them wait, in case you want to go back to Tagbilaran City.

Jiayuguan China

bajin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:53:22 +0000

Jiayugan, or Jiayu Pass, is bordered by the Qilian mountains in the south and Gobi Desert in the north. It represents the western starting point of a section of the Great Wall constructed during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The pass covers an area of 33,500 square meters (eight acres) and lies at the base of a narrow valley, and takes its name from one of the surrounding hills, the Jiayu. Commonly referred to as the finest example of its kind on earth, the pass is the best preserved of the Great Wall’s ancient military fortresses.

Jiayu Pass served as a caravan stop along the Silk Road and transit pool for wool, silk and tea linking Mongolia, Sichuan and Tibet. Today, visitors can soak in scenic views of the snow capped Qilian mountains and get a feeel of an ancient and remote China. Locals march around in armor and spar to renact ancient military scenes.
