Tired of resorts that look just like city hotels in your hometown? Plantation Bay is built like a village, with most rooms directly fronting an extensive private lagoon and artificial beaches. Eye-soothing low-rise architecture. Comfortable, well-appointed, spacious (46 square meters, 490 square feet) rooms with elegant bathrooms (separate tub and shower, large counter area). Romantic King 4-Posters in some rooms, practical two Queens in others. Just 30 minutes to the airport or the center of Cebu City, yet MORE leisure activities than any other resort in the country, possibly the world. Most of the usual marine activities, plus scuba (dive sites just offshore or in 15 minutes by boat), island cruises and picnics, wall-climbing, archery, tennis, pickleball, badminton, Arcade Game Room, Gym, Children’s Boot Camp and daily activities, Botanical Tour, Bird-watching guide, golf (nearby), mall/shopping/gaming (about 20 minutes), whale-shark watching and other excursions (whole day). MORE space per guest than any other resort in the world anywhere near this price range. 11 has. (28 acres) for 255 rooms. Four large freshwater swimming pools and 2.3 has. (6 acres) of saltwater lagoon. No fights over pool loungers, and everyone is always front-line. Yet, unlike any of our competition in Mactan, safe for responsible older children to be left to themselves; our layout explains why. But wait, there’s more! A superb Japanese-inspired Spa, a resort within the Resort. Hot, cold, and saltwater pools, needle-shower, waterfall, sauna, steam-bath, manicure, hair-trim, and full range of therapies. Four distinctive restaurants — Asian-Seafood by the sea, with indoor or under-the-stars dining; elegant Mediterranean-Steak in a stunning Art Nouveau setting; an authentic American Diner; and a fresh-air International coffee shop surrounded by the main swimming pool and the saltwater lagoon. All serve superb dishes, some of which we proudly say are the best of their kind. Come discover how we can claim that. Peace and quiet assured for all. Toward that goal, telephone conversations and audible electronics are strictly prohibited in the gym, Spa, and most dining venues. Parents are enjoined to ensure their children do not bother others with repeated screaming or crying tantrums, which also endangers guest safety as it desensitizes staff, who might therefore fail to respond to a genuine emergency, as happens regularly in many other resorts around the world. Note: Unlike most hotels, Plantation Bay actually enforces its rules and policies. Ill-behaved guests and people addicted to their phones will thus not be happy at Plantation Bay and should book elsewhere. But if you want peace and quiet, a relaxing break from your high-stress life, we’re the resort for you. And, finally, that rarest hotel quality: Honesty and Integrity. If upon arrival you don’t like what you see or experience, say so in 4 hours and YOU’RE OFF THE HOOK. We’ll give you your money back, help you book elsewhere in Metro Cebu, and take you there for free. (Not applicable to special offers explicitly described as non-refundable.) And if you need to cut your stay short for any reason, we’ll refund your balance (peak periods excluded). Hardly any other hotel in the world will do either of these, because they’d rather have your money than your trust. Book now! See you soon!
