Last June, our very small team from the company I worked in decided to have a little outing out of town. There were a few choices considered, but we have certain criteria for where we want to go to. Number 1 – the place should have a swimming pool. Number 2 – it should have a beach. Number 3 – it should be near Manila. Luckily, Tali Beach in Nasugbu Batangas was available to us..
Tali Beach
Tali Beach actually resides on a private subdivision/community. Only owner’s or guests can go in. As for us, We rented one of the houses there, and were allowed in as guests of the Los Balcones beach house.
We got to know Los Balcones through one of our officemate who has been there a few months back. She was raving about the cliff and the beautiful beach house, that I researched it myself after she told the story. Unfortunately, this place is very expensive if you’re thinking of group that are 20 or less. The place is mostly rented for special events.
We got in touch with the beach house’s manager and booked us a weekend at the place for our outing. By this time, I was already encouraging my office mates to jump at the cliff. I really wanted to. 
Los Balcones
Going at Nasugbu, we all went in batches, car pooling to anyone who can take us in.
Entering the Tali Beach, we were halted by the guards on the gate of the community. Like was said, tali beach is a private community. The beach house’s manager already let the guards knew of our arrival.
It’s a few minutes drive before the house, and we already were starting to get excited as the houses we passed by were beautiful. Wishing the houses we passed by is as beautiful as the place we were going to stay in – and it was.
The Beach House
When we arrived in the house. We were immediately awed by the beautiful scenery from the house’s balcony. It was a view of the sea and the sole swimming pool of the house.
The house has 2 floors, and 5 rooms and lots(!) of entertainment items.
They have a wooden monopoly and scrabble play set.
A foozball table which we violated too much while we were there. It was so fun playing that thing.
And a poker set, which we forgot was there, and didn’t even use!
Near the kitchen is the ”Main DVD Home Theatre” system, which has this huge HD flat screen tv. We actually planned to bring one of our office mate’s PS3, but didn’t know if the tv was HD. So there you go, bring your game consoles! hehe
They also have a mini slot machine, a billiard table, and a piano. Need I say more?
We even set up some music through their centralized sound system, which can be heard through the whole house. They also have mic with that sound system.
The rental fee for Los Balcones includes house helpers, for when you want certain foods cooked. We gave them a tip for their services.
There is also a mini bar near the kitchen, but the drinks are not for sale. Bummer.
The Rooms
The house has 5 rooms, I wasn’t able to picture all rooms as I didn’t even realize it was that many. All rooms were just plain room, each room has it’s own bathroom, but there is a common cr downstairs.
The master room was the best room of the house. It has a big bed, a tv, a bath tub. Our boys stayed in this room. Their only complain was the bathroom door is loosely locked,and you can easily be seen from outside. At least that what they told us.
The cliff
One of our office mate, who told us about this place, did her jump on this cliff when she first went here. Unfortunately, she has her monthly visitor so she didn’t do it this time. I was kind of hoping she’d jump first so I could see how to do it. (and if it’s really safe). I’m not very good at swimming, I took a swimming lesson two years ago, and still not as confident as I want to be. Plus the height could possibly post a problem to me.
We went there the morning after we arrived at Tali Beach, it’s about a 5 min walk from the beach house. The water is on it’s perfect height. The afternoon before it was low tide, and people were scared too jump because of that. But that morning when we got there, we found our boss already doing jumps from the highest point. I didn’t believe at first but when he did it. I was so impressed, and decided I will do it. I should do it. This will possibly the last time I’m at this cliff.
So there were three brave souls. J*g, K**n and me. 2 boys and me, the only girl. I watched the two boys first. They know how to swim so I asked one of the boys to wait for me on my jump.
I did it. Two times even! It was my first time to jump on a cliff, and swim on the sea without a vest. It doesn’t hurt at all, except on the initial impact, but I didn’t even feel that as painful. There were even this couple (not with us) who did their couple jump. We don’t have pictures of the jump, we have videos instead, hehe.
There was a lower part of the cliff, which some of my office mates jumped on. It was so cute cause the girls jumped on the lower part and our boys would just rescue and dragged them to ground after. Awesome team work.
After that we went to the beach to do actual swimming, since the wave in the water near the cliff is getting a bit violent. I again loved the water in Tali beach. It’s white, not fine sand, but definitely better than most beaches in Batangas I’ve beent to.
The afternoon before, we did some ridiculous jump shot near this landscaped area near the cliff, then waited on the sunset. Didn’t brought my camera that time since I thought I would be jumping then.
We left the place at around 2, but were allowed by the owner to stay until 5 pm. Gorgeous place.
Oh, before we left I used my awesome
GF2 to capture some crazy GIF’s of our team
