In addition to the usual commonplace amenities, furnishings, and activities (mini-safe, Wi-Fi, toiletries, bottled water, gym, gameroom, yoga), Plantation Bay offers you the unique and the unexpected (free or at nominal cost, except as qualified):

For Everyone:

  • Choice of welcome drink — canned juice or soda, beer, or shot of Tequila.
  • Plush mattress-toppers, oversized 100%-cotton towels, steeping tub, multiple-head shower, ample bathroom counter space, hygienic no-touch washlets.
  • Ergonomic seating in guest-rooms and balconies (not "designer" stuff you can't bear to sit on).
  • Almost-level site layout, with most facilities on a single plane — ideal for strolling, biking, and wheelchair access. Joggers and step-counters: our main roadway is a complete circle, almost exactly half a mile or 800 meters.
  • Internal transportation by electric golf-cart, summoned by electronic call-buttons situated all around the resort.
  • Cable TV with over sixty channels, in seven languages
  • Proactive enforcement of House Rules that limit telephone usage and unnecessary noise throughout the resort, creating a safe and comfortable environment for all, and encouraging direct interaction with real humans in front of you, not YouTube and TikTok.
  • NO OUTSTRETCHED PALMS. No Tipping strictly enforced throughout the resort. We collect a 10% service charge, share it honestly with all the employees, and that's it.

For Adults, the Retired, and the Disabled:

  • More space per guest than any other hotel in Mactan and Metro Cebu. Open areas and relaxing corners everywhere. No need to compete for limited lounge-chair space fronting a single boring pool and screaming children.
  • Complimentary use of electric Personal-Mobility Devices for persons with mobility issues (subject to availability).
  • Complimentary basic nursing services — BP, Glucose, Oxygen reading; wound dressings; OTC medicine.
  • Quick access to major Shopping, Restaurant, and Casino complexes in Cebu City, just 20-25 minutes away by the Third Mactan Bridge. Plantation Bay is now the most conveniently-located resort in Mactan, combining a genuine resort experience with close proximity to downtown.
  • Quick access to challenging mountain golf at Alta Vista Country Club, just 35 minutes away. Again via the Third Bridge, Plantation Bay is the only Mactan resort that can realistically offer golfing; all the other major Mactan resorts are 80 minutes or more from a mediocre city course. (Charges apply.)
  • The ONLY spa in the country that is a real spa, and not just 4 walls in a high-rise, or a gussied-up jungle clearing paired with a starvation diet. Extensive range of physical therapy, massage, and beauty treatments. (Charges apply.)
  • Scheduled or by-request activities for young and old, including: dance instruction; whisky blind tasting; Introduction to Tea; Bingo Night; crab racing; Botanical Tour of Plantation Bay; Bird-Watching Walkaround; fish feeding at lobby; and others.
  • All guest-rooms safely within just a few meters of open air and safety in case of fire (not that we ever had one), and 15-20 minutes from two hospitals with emergency rooms.

For Families:

  • 1.5 hectares (4.7 acres) of private man-made saltwater lagoons, more interesting than almost any hotel swimming pool, safer than the open sea.
  • Four different freshwater swimming pools to suit every mood — 1400 square-meter freeform for general frolicking, with coves and bubble-nooks; 400 square-meter shaded with waterfall and fountain features for a more refreshing temperature; 690 square-meter evenly shallow for young families; and 160 square-meter rectangular for Greco-Roman photo-ops.
  • And of course the real sea, with diving, marine sport, and island adventures straight from our wharf. PADI certifications and re-certifications. (Charges apply.)
  • Biking. Wall-Climbing. Pitch-and-Putt. Archery (real arrows).
  • Shooting range (real bullets). (Charges apply.)
  • Scheduled Family Activities like: Design Your Own Resort (take home your masterpiece in a sturdy gift box); Duct Tape Art; Ice Cream Challenge; crab races; Name-Game Parent-Child Challenge.
  • A resort layout that everyone feels safe in. You would never let your child out of your sight in most resorts anywhere in the world. You will feel different at Plantation Bay. Older, responsible children can be allowed to wander around the resort on their own, just as they could in times past.
  • No child — knock wood — has ever come to serious harm in Plantation Bay. Our staff and our safety protocols have kept our record spotless for our entire history. That's an amenity you can't put a price on.

For Corporations:

  • Unusual conference venues for all needs, — Wall Street Boardroom, Roof-Garden Wedding, Treaty Negotiations, Alpine Chalet, others.
  • Unique team-building activities that require strategic and tactical thinking, and the famous Plantation Bay Duodecathlon, a half-hour excuse to run, swim, climb, guzzle beer, proposition an attractive staff member, and do other silly things.
  • Hearty food and relaxing ambience that make every conference or product presentation a sure-fire hit for the Organizer.

For Lovers:

  • Romantic Rendezvous Package in your chosen hideaway anywhere in the resort. (Charges apply.)
  • In-the-Mood Room Setup. (Charges apply.)
  • All King-Bedded Rooms feature canopied mahogany Four-Posters.
  • Quiet corners in pools (and elsewhere) where no one can see you.

For Foodies and Drinkers:

  • Most 5-star hotels in the US and Europe are content to have one all-purpose restaurant. We have four distinctive restaurants presenting a range of dishes from the world's favorite cuisines — Italian, American, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Vegan, plus USDA Prime and Japanese A-5 Steak.
  • All four also offer different dishes that represent Philippine cuisine at its heartiest and most satisfying, from the World's Best Kare-Kare to The Real Adobo to an Incomparable Ube Ice Cream made from scratch in our kitchens.
  • A short but carefully-chosen wine list, featuring "best-buy" sparkling wines from Spain, Australia, and Italy, plus "not cheap but worth it" Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon. No Petrus or Opus One, but a few quite decent (and popularly-priced) reds and whites from California, Australia, and Spain.
  • Instant Craft Cocktails, each with our secret riff on the usual — Vodka Martini, Margarita Hermosa, Boulevardier. . . Made in batches in advance, so available within just a few minutes.

Commitment to Diversity:

  • Guests from all over the world (how about Iceland, Kazakstan, and Kuwait?), of all ages and backgrounds, all faiths, and all personal-preference identities.
  • Respect is given to all, but respect in return is expected for our staff and for our other guests.

Why so affordable? Plantation Bay offers well-maintained, up-to-date rooms and facilities, more leisure activities, and warmer, more genuine service than any other hotel in the country. But we don't have to advertise (our past guests do that for us), and we don't have to pay 10 % of our gross receipts, plus another 10 % of our net, plus shared overhead, to an international hotel chain just to use its name. We pass these considerable savings on to our guests.
Some hotels offer "free" breakfast, but obviously this is built into their room rate. Hence, the breakfast is not really "free"; rather, it is "compulsory". Our room prices do NOT include breakfast. Every day, you can choose whether to have a big breakfast, a small one, or none at all, and pay only for what you consume. Our daily buffet theme breakfast is priced at P 1,200 Nett * (smaller children half-price), while a plated American, Continental or Filipino breakfast costs P 520 Nett *. Pancakes cost P 420 Nett *, and a cup of brewed coffee to take away costs P140 Nett *. If you book direct, all the registered occupants of the room can enjoy a full breakfast buffet for a flat extra fee. That flat fee is not advised for only 1 or 2 occupants, but recommended for 3 or more. After selecting a room type, click the prompt to choose this option.
