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. Just 30 minutes to the airport or the center of Cebu City, yet MORE leisure activities than any other resort in the country. Plantation Bay is ideal for senior travel, many kinds of disability, and for all persons recuperating from illness or grief. But wait, there’s more! 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. A Japanese-inspired health and relaxation Spa unlike any other, a resort within the Resort. Hot, cold, and saltwater pools, needle-shower, waterfall, sauna, steam-bath, manicure, hair-trim, and full range of therapies. MORE space per guest than any other resort in the world anywhere near this price range. 11 has. (28 acres) for 250 rooms. Just a bit cooler, literally, than all other resorts in Cebu. The central lagoons act both as a heat sink and a solar reflector; dense landscaping provides shade and releases heat by evaporation. Fewer insects than most tropical resorts. Environmentally-neutral bio-attractants and mechanical traps. Take the time to notice the many subtle and unexpected delights of Plantation Bay – the cooling shade of a majestic Philippine acacia, original art and evocative architectural details in our dining outlets, quiet corners for smooching or meditation, a Lobby that whispers in travel metaphors, gargoyles hidden in rockwork, daily-changing theme breakfast buffets, custom bathtubs built for two, informative and witty building and botanical signage, a Margarita that’s better than any you’ll find in Mexico, a rare style of understated service no longer found except in aristocratic Old World homes. . . And the actual changing fragrances of jasmine, dama de noche, frangipani, palo maria, and other flowering plants and trees. Plantation Bay is a Non-Smoking property, but comfortable, lighted, ventilated smoking kiosks are conveniently located near key outdoor walkway intersections. Peace and Quiet. Unlike most hotels, Plantation Bay actually enforces its rules and policies. Ill-behaved, self-entitled people, and Telephone Addicts will not be happy here; please book elsewhere. But if you want a real break from your high-stress life, we’re the resort for you.
