Plantation Bay is the only resort where you can swim for 24 hours. There’s no place like this in Cebu. Taking pictures with your phones is always a good idea. You can see the nice view, pool, and sunshine. Bicycles are also free, and there are many restaurants to choose from. It is such a beautiful place to go to.

I made arrangements with Ms. Olya and found that she was very accommodating and very pleasant throughout the whole process. She assisted me quite well and even made timely follow-ups whenever my reply took a while. Since Kilimanjaro was closed for renovations, we dined at Fiji restaurant. The place was clean and the ambiance was great. We were well-attended to by their staff named Arianne, Kyle, Dan, Anthony, Wayne, and Fretz. The service was superb and they were very patient with our orders. They too were very quick to get back to us should we have additional orders. They also are very professional with their work and even politely turned me down when I handed them tips, even when I insisted. I am very happy overall with our dining experience as the staff largely contributed to it. The food was also exceptional as we had compliments from our guests and family. Thanks as well to the chefs for this wonderful experience.

FROM ACROSS THE WEB

  • Plantation Bay is the only resort where you can swim for 24 hours. There’s no place like this in Cebu. Taking pictures with your phones is always a good idea. You can see the nice view, pool, and sunshine. Bicycles are also free, and there are many restaurants to choose from. It is such a beautiful place to go to.

  • My family just came back from a week-long vacation at Plantation Bay. It was the best resort vacation so far, and all the staff in the resort were so friendly and happy which made my family vacation a memorable one. Also, the rooms were 5-star. We’ll be back!

  • Plantation Bay Cebu is a household name for the time in memory. It features a big saltwater lagoon mimicking the sea in a controlled environment. The staff is warm and accommodating, plus the architecture of the buildings is very Filipino.

    chuacoupleonthego via Instagram, July 2023

  • Thinking of going on a Cebu trip? Want to take a break from your busy life? To the ones that do, this is a highly recommended accommodation. When you open the door to the balcony, you can swim straight into the swimming pool or lagoons. I like the Poolside room. Water activities are fun, and you don't need to go anywhere else. You can take pictures everywhere, and the white bridge at the center is a perfect spot. They have a bicycle that allows you to explore the whole resort. The resort's view and room accommodations are pretty. They have many restaurants to choose from where the food is great, a cafe and a bar of course. Highly recommended accommodation for lovers, friends, and family!

We are all satisfied with the restaurant and the free amenities. Stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking are fun, and bikes are a must in the resort with the cool breeze. These are all free! This place is a paradise, and it is such a charming place.

Still, I'm so happy to see the sky and clouds for my entire stay. The color of the pool is so attractive and looks different every time depending on the weather.
