Plantation Bay Resort and Spa

The saxophone at night was awesome. Breakfast was great... especially the Philippines. Staff were lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. Pools are great, and the diving course was made simple, switching from the pool straight to the ocean and back.

A Relaxing and Scenic Stay at Plantation Bay Resort and Spa Plantation Bay Resort and Spa offers a truly serene getaway that combines breathtaking lagoons, world-class pools, and exceptional hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the resort's unique layout, which revolves around stunning man-made lagoons that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Whether you prefer swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the water, there’s something for everyone. The expansive pools are equally remarkable, perfect for both relaxation and family fun. The accommodations were spacious, well-appointed, and designed to make you feel at home. The rooms reflect a classic colonial aesthetic, with modern amenities to ensure comfort and convenience. Our balcony offered gorgeous views of the lagoon, which made for peaceful mornings and magical sunsets. What truly made our stay exceptional was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Every request was met with a smile, and the level of care they provided added a special touch to the experience. Their dedication to making each guest feel valued is truly commendable. One highlight of Plantation Bay is the sheer variety of activities available. Whether it’s taking a dip in the lagoon, trying out water sports, or exploring the beautifully landscaped grounds, there’s never a dull moment. For those who want to unwind, the spa offers a range of treatments in a tranquil setting—perfect for anyone seeking relaxation. While the resort provides plenty to keep you entertained, we recommend venturing into the local area in Mactan. It’s safe, affordable, and a wonderful way to experience authentic Filipino culture. From vibrant markets to delicious local eateries, there’s so much to explore just a short ride from the resort. The only downside to our stay was the quality of food and the pricing for drinks.

I liked that their shuttle within the resort is available 24 hours.

Food was excellent but limited to basically one restaurant. The room was clean, quiet and spacious. We were given a couple of options on the building locations. The bed was very old and lumpy "completely worn-out." The staff was first-class.

The property was absolutely stunning! The amenities and opportunity for visitors is not extensive but well thought out and fun for everyone in the family! It reminded me of my time at Disney World in Florida in the United States! The landscaping and attention to detail in their architecture isso well thought out and developed for sure! The staff were incredibly professional and well-versed in the entire property and needs of families and couples making their special memories with their families and journeys across from their own countries! Everywhere we went we were greeted with hospitality that is unmatched to anything that I’ve experienced, and I’ve been all over the country in the states as well as the world! I don’t know what I come back again, but I am certainly recommending this to all friends and family It was time for sure!
