Plantation Bay Resort and Spa

Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, one of the most visited and popular resorts in Mactan, is open to serve their guests under the new normal. The resort has indeed raised the bar high for Mactan resorts’ compliance and readiness to serve their guests under the new normal.
Aside from the temperature check and contact tracing compliance for guests upon resort entry, they have also put up a plastic barrier on their front desk, hand sanitizing machines all over the resort, and they conduct a UV light sanitation in every room and facility, aside from the usual cleaning procedures.

Thorough corona virus measures

At the entrance, there is a thermometer and an alcohol disinfectant, and you will be able to enter the resort after filling out the sheet.

Machines that can automatically disinfect are installed throughout the building.

Infrared disinfection is performed regularly in the building.

Outdoor facilities where you can play actively

Some of their facilities, including wall climbing and the game room, are still closed and not operational during the pandemic. But kids can still enjoy the other recreational facilities located at the Savannah Park – the tennis court, playground, archery, and many more. They may also make use of the bicycles at the bicycle station to roam around the area!

You can solve the lack of exercise due to the pandemic ♪

Currently, children are not free to play outside in Cebu, but they can play as much as they want inside the resort! There is also a kids park on the premises, so you can play safely.

Also for solving lack of exercise for children!

Restaurants currently available in the hotel

The only restaurant that’s open for now is the Kilimanjaro Café, which serves their guests 24/7. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner, and room service are all available in this restaurant.

Semi-outdoor restaurant surrounded by pool ♪

You may dine inside the restaurant or you may also dine outside with the surrounding view of the lagoon and freshwater pools.

Your Plantation Bay experience will never be complete without trying their restaurant’s pride: The World’s Best Kare-Kare (P1,060 for 2-3 persons). This is a Filipino traditional ox-tail stew in peanut sauce. This is absolutely the meatiest and most flavorful Kare-kare you will ever come across with. This is why this should never be missed when visiting the resort!

Another best-seller is their Twice Fried Pork Belly which comes in 3 gigantic pieces, with a cup of rice, for only P480.

Their chicken salad croissant (P420) is one of their popular snack dishes. It comes with 2 stuffed croissants alongside some traditional fruits. You may order this from their inhouse bakeshop every Friday (Croissant Fridays), as well as their ensaymada every Monday (Ensaymondays). Make sure to call at least a day ahead for orders.

You must also try their latest menu: The Malaysian Laksa.

Lastly, if there’s another thing you shouldn’t miss in Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, it’s their homemade ice cream! Above is a picture of their jackfruit flavored ice cream – a flavor you won’t find anywhere else. Tastes very fruity and uniquely good!

Rooms with a sense of liberation with a tropical feel

1-bedroom suite room

It comes with its own terrace, with a beautiful view of the lagoon.

The edge water room is famous among honeymooners. Here you can go from your room to the water in 2 seconds!

All of their 4 saltwater lagoons are open, as well as 3 of their 4 freshwater pools. The Savannah freshwater swimming pool is still currently under reconstruction and will be ready by the 2nd week of February.

There is also a slider in the lagoon pool where children can play ♪

I also recommend taking a nap in a hammock.

You may also enjoy kayaking around the lagoon.
