Plantation Bay Resort, Cebu nestled in the south

Found on www.goodnewspilipinas.com

Since opening its doors to guests in late 1996, Plantation Bay has already received and entertained over 250,000 local and international visitors. Sitting on 8 hectares of secluded grounds, yet only 40 minutes away from downtown Cebu, it's a place which makes guests feel as though they’re in another world, and they offer a new flavor to life. In other writers’ words, it has the “clean elegance of colonial-plantation architecture.”

It's no surprise that guests say Plantation Bay is one of the best resorts they’ve ever been to. The resort provides airport transportation then welcomes guests with a drink. Its amenities include mineral water, bicycles and selected recreation equipment, children's activities, and dinner entertainment for guests. The staff speaks many languages in addition to English and the local language: Japanese, Korean, French, and Spanish. International visitors feel right at home as a result.

Whether guests are a barkada on a road trip to see the Philippines, or a couple on a lavish honeymoon, there are beautifully designed rooms to suit every taste and budget. Rooms are 46 square meters in size, significantly larger than those found in similar hotels. There are pleasing oil paintings and prints in each room, which also has a remote-control TV, mini-bar, electronic safe, and air-conditioning. Then there are the bathrooms, which any woman will love: spacious, with stone and marble finishes, a separate shower and deep tub, hair dryer, and extension phone. If that weren’t enough, 24 hour butlers are on duty to serve guests. The best part is that every room (not just those in the brochures) has a beautiful view!

In addition, the staff of Plantation Bay believes that good food is an essential component of good hospitality, and works hard to offer guests a stimulating choice of international dishes at reasonable prices. There are several restaurants open there to satisfy all tastes.

Plantation Bay's famous waterways, which are the largest privately owned waterways in the world, feature more surprises and places to hide away from the world. If water activities are not on a couple's itinerary, there are so many other activities to choose from: sports, shopping, eating, etc.

The best part of it is that Plantation Bay also boasts the foremost Philippine spa: Mogambo Springs. It has a restful atmosphere and treatments comparable to those of leading spas worldwide. With treatments ranging from the kind of pampering guests are accustomed to in resorts and spas, to the outright divine rejuvenating ones, it's even better to discover that couples can share spa treatments together.

Looking for a wedding reception venue? Look no further; Plantation Bay offers various packages to suit every need and every occasion. The best thing is that there is NO TIPPING at Plantation Bay. All guests receive the highest standard of personal attention without ever having to worry about when, whom, or how much to tip.

If you’ve never been to a No-Tipping resort, you just don’t know what you’re missing. Why not find out?
