Awesome property!!
This was an amazing stay experience. ABSOLUTELY beautiful place, many and diverse amenities and activities. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. Amazing spa facilites. Only downside is that it is located away from Cebu City itself with it's airport and ferry terminals. That location adds 1 to 2 hours travel time (and costs) to those locations as well as other "day-trip" excursions off-property.

This Resort sent a threatening email to me after i made the booking. Instead of thanking me for my pricey booking. Instead of appreciating my business they emailed me : ".....please cancel your booking and try another hotel...we will enforce our rules..." Ive never seen such arrogant, & communist-style greeting. They allow korean tourists to be noisy in dinning areas and outside in recreation areas meanwhile telling me to get off my phone. Their pricey meat patty came with no buns. They always serve food abscent of water like other resorts. Due to all these flaws this resort is far from a 5 star resort.

Resort was very clean, and the spa was amazing. We visited during the off season, so they seemed to be somewhat short staffed, and many amenities were closed. The lagoon and pools were great but there is very little beach access, and the beach is not the best for relaxing.

The layout of this property around their saltwater lagoons was excellent. The ability to slip into the lagoon and enjoy a swim from your own private deck was awesome. The evening view over the lagoons was delightful too. Every activity was easy to access (archery, shooting, billiards, bikes). Spa and massage services were excellent. Food selections at the various restaurants and room service was delicious. Every staff member was exceptionally polite and gracious to us. Will definitely return for future stays in Cebu.

This property is very well laid out around the central saltwater lagoons. Our room had a deck with stairs right into the lagoon for swimming and relaxing after hours. The "Shower Tower" was phenomenal. Probably the best you will ever experience in a resort or hotel. Restaurant and activity options were abundant and enjoyable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat on future trips. And will be returning for a 2nd stay later in the week.

Plantation Bay had always been a favorite getaway of mine. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The facilities are beautiful and peaceful. I love the fact that they always encourage family time and put down cell phones when possible. They also discourage noise so all guests can relax. I stay at this facility every year. Though pricy compared to other hotels, it is worth every penny. Always leaving this hotel wanting to come back. I didn’t want to leave. The lagoons and pools are large and beautiful. Open your door and step right into the water. This place is heaven to me. ♥️

Check in was smooth and staff seemed very friendly. However we had some issues: 1. One of us wasn’t feeling too well and only wanted soup for breakfast that one of us will bring to her in her room since soup was not in the room service menu. The staff at the restaurant told us that for them to make that provision, their nurse had to assess our companion first. Just to order soup. They eventually relented and prepared when we told the restaurant supervisor/manager that 4 of our groups were doctors and didn’t that was necessary. Otherwise our friend would have been charged for the soup and the medical assessment. 2. During our first day I was told the the complimentary drinks in the fridge were refillable, then took that back when asked for refills on our 2nd day. 3. I understand that they want a ‘quiet area’ for the entire resort, but to actually confiscate my cellphone when I tried to bring it inside the gym when I forgot to bring my EarPods think was too much 4. They charge 50Php for a small bag of ice cubes when it’s free in almost all hotels I’ve been to. 5. Because we were a large party, we were told that we need to personally go to the restaurant to reserve, pre-order, and pay. It’s not enough that you call to reserve or order by phone. You have to go to the facility. I’m not sure why they can’t charge the meal to the room.
