The Amazing Plantation Bay Resort in Cebu, Philippines

Imagine, a resort with over five acres of swimming area plus the sea! The beautiful, high-end Plantation Bay Resort in the Philippines is designed to resemble a colonial plantation village with plantation–style buildings situated around the four saltwater lagoon pools and four fresh water pools.

Guests are picked up at the airport and there is free trolley service connecting the different parts of the hotel plus on some days a horse and carriage is also used. Guess what?  There is absolutely NO tipping. 


There are several great restaurants including Kilmanjaro Kafe which is open 24 hours and Fiji located on the water serving Pacific-rim specialties. They have special themed buffets serving roast pig. You will never run out of things to do.  Beside the pools there is snorkeling, diving, kayaking and other water fun activities.  Guests can play tennis, miniature golf, take a cooking class, fire a variety of weapons, and try wall climbing. The list goes on and on.  Events and activities are advertised on TVs located at the entrance to all buildings, on the internet, and TV. 


The zen-like spa is a great place for a massage and to spend the whole day.  They have several hot-water spas and more. In the evening a violinist/saxophonist plays in various areas of the property. The property is very walk able with cleverly worded storyboards explaining the names of the accommodation units and trees. For more information check www.plantationbay.com.
