One-of-a-Kind: Immersive. Inclusive. Exclusive.
Yet Only 20 minutes from Cebu's New Downtown
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.
Money-Back Guarantee! Only for Direct Bookings through this website, if upon arrival you decide you're not happy here, say so within 4 hours of checking in, and YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK. We'll give you your money back, help you book elsewhere in Metro Cebu, and take you there for free. (Not applicable to special offers explicitly described as non-refundable.) And, again only for Direct Bookings, if you need to cut your stay short, we will minimize your financial loss by giving you your choice of an equal number of roomnight credits, or a 50% refund for your unused days. Click here for details.
The Plantation Bay Room and Restaurant Satisfaction Guarantee. We would like all our guests to feel they made the right choice in coming here. And most of our guests do, so we can afford to be liberal with those who don’t:
Immediate change of heart after checking in. (Applicable Only to Direct Bookings. This guarantee does not apply to bookings explicitly described as non-refundable, including those for peak and blackout dates, and certain promo-rate bookings.)
If after arrival you do not think you would enjoy your stay, please advise us (by calling a Duty Manager or the Front Office Manager) within 4 hours of checking in, and we will do the following:
You must, however, actually come. Our normal policies apply to no-shows and reservation cancellations made prior to check-in.
Early departure vis-à-vis the number of nights reserved. (Applicable Only to Direct Bookings via This Website):
If you shorten your stay after at least one night during a non-peak, non-blackout period, we offer two options to minimize your financial loss:
This policy does not apply to peak or blackout dates (approximately 30 days a year) that require full advance payment—no refunds will be issued for early departures on these dates.
Unsatisfactory food. For every diner in our outlets (excluding dinner shows and open buffets), if after consuming 25% or less of any dish or drink you are not completely satisfied, please advise our staff and there will be no charge for it. (We will of course offer you alternatives.) Please do this instead of just grousing about your meal later, when we can no longer ascertain exactly what the problem was or whether any staff member warrants correction.
Just 30 minutes to the airport or the center of Cebu City, yet MORE leisure activities than any other resort in the country. Click here to learn how we can make this claim.
Plantation Bay is ideal for senior travel, many kinds of disability, and for all persons recuperating from illness or grief. Click here.
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. Click here to learn more about our food.
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.
Stop, and SMELL the roses (figuratively).
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.
Room Occupancy
The hotel has generous limits for the maximum occupancy of our various rooms. These limits are for guest safety and comfort, as well as to avoid excessive wear and tear. Please respect these limits and do not entertain visitors or bring extra persons into your hotel guest room except for brief periods during the day but not later than 6 PM, or this will occasion an Undeclared Guest charge of $100 per person per day.
Friends and Visitors
While of course you are welcome to invite local friends and relatives to see you or dine with you at the resort, for visitors who wish to use the lagoons, swimming pools, or other leisure facilities there will be a per person charge of $25 nett per person (children aged 0-12 are charged half) per day.
Should the hotel discover that your unregistered visitors are using the facilities, a $100 fine per person (regardless of age) per day will be charged. Use of our facilities for registered visitors is from 9 AM to 5 PM.
Bringing in of Food
Plantation Bay is a 5-star resort and not a public picnic ground or beer garden. Guests are welcome to bring in moderate quantities of food but not so much as to constitute a party or a picnic, which would adversely affect the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the resort. Pre-cooked food in pots or plasticware is explicitly covered by this policy. Except for snacks, such food should not be consumed outside your guestroom, and not on your balcony. If, in the hotel’s sole opinion, you have brought in or consumed an amount of food in excess of “moderate”, corkage charges will be applied. A Cleanup and Trash Disposal Fee of $200 per room per day will also be imposed.
Smoking and bringing in products with lingering odor
There are designated smoking areas spread around the resort. Smoking and e-cigarettes, durian, kimchi, and other products which leave a lingering odor are not permitted in guest rooms, balconies, building common areas, and any areas used for dining or relaxing. Failure to observe these prohibitions will occasion a US$200 per day or occurrence special cleaning charge.
