Courtesy of online coupons, my girlfriend and I were able to experience the luxurious lifestyle of members of The Village Sports Club in BF Homes Paranaque. The recently opened Sports Club boasts 3 Swimming pools, 2 Badminton Courts, a Basketball Court, Tennis Court, Futsal Court, and Football field. But to play sports is not the only reason people join this exclusive club, members also get to enjoy and relax in their private Gym, Sauna, and Spa.
Membership costs 455,000 pesos for 1 nominee but 675,000 pesos for 2 nominees. This is excluding the other fees such as for court rentals and other amnesties.
But we were able to experience being a member for a day for 400 pesos each and we documented our journey to The Village...
The Locker Room looked more like a spa than a fitness club.
Hotel Showers! The best!
Entrance to Sauna and Steam Room.
The Gym is actually not as impressive as Fitness First's gym, well mainly because a lot of equipment for hardcore body builders are missing.
The big machine called "Kineses" actually costs 500,000 pesos - enough to buy myself a gym at home.
The view of their courts. Very impressive with Hanes as their sponsor.
Basketball Court. Quality of court is Great because this was registered under FIBA which probably says it all. Wooden court, well ventilated, nice ring/board. Only downside is few people can watch from the bench.
Failed attempt to picture the futsal court. Floor is non-slip type and size is okay. I like the use of Nets surrounding the court since you don't have to chase for the ball if it goes outside. Again, downside is there is no bench.
Badminton Court. A bit dark because no one was playing on this side. Good quality courts although there are only 4 courts to be used at a time.
Outside there was a football field. Grass might not be in the best condition. Field is a bit small. This will only cater to 5-aside or 7-aside football at most.
Failed attempt to picture Tennis court. We could not go in to take the picture. Only one hard court. The court looks good since it's new, but personally do not like outdoor courts because of the extreme heat or constant rain here in the Philippines.
Olympic sized pool but its only about 6 feet.
Also a place for the Kiddies to play and swim.
Extreme sports lead to extreme hunger. This is where people can eat. Kulinarya Restaurant which overlooks the entire swimming pool.
The Menu... Priced just right, and taste is surprisingly good with the ones we've ordered. Although more variety needed since these are only for snacks. Pizza is a bit overpriced so we did not order any.
Beverage... Did not order any because of all the swimming prior to eating.
Her order... Pasta Aglio Olio (P150)
Cheapest in the Pasta Category - Capers, spanish sardines, and full of olive oil! Taste was okay but a bit too oily for me. Good for one person only.
His order... The Village Burger (P160)
Their specialty burger - with crunchy potato chips at the side. I loved the meat! Did not care about the rest. Looks big but is good for only one person.
This Village experience was awesome! The facilities were new and hi-tech, food was good, and the place was very private and relaxing. I would definitely come back for all this. But with the membership price you pay and all the fees for the different facilities... Is it worth the price?
