On March 2-3, 2013 I took my kids to Cebu for a short get-away. Courtesy
of my friends at “Plantation Bay” (Des and Geli), we stayed in the resort for
the weekend. It was my second time to stay in Plantation Bay and the resort
continuous to amaze me due to its picturesque ambiance.
We arrived early Saturday morning and we were picked up from the airport.
Their very competent staffs will assist you as you exit the airport terminal. They have
several fleet that will assist you and your family or if it will be your Company
Outing, no worries; they have a bus to accommodate your group.
We arrived early in the resort, although we requested for an early
check-in, our room is not ready yet so we were advised that we can use the
facilities while waiting for our room. We left our luggage in their designated
staff, and off we go to Explore Plantation Bay.
We spend the morning taking
pictures, the place is 360 degrees picture perfect. Pristine waters, lush
greenery, wide array of food – they have 4 excellent restaurants, Kilimanjaro Kafe - international menus and local Cebuano dishes; Fiji- seafood and Asian specialties; Palermo - tapas and pastas; Savannah Grill - fast food favorites such as your burgers and fries.
We had our lunch at Fiji and enjoyed our seafood platter, the rest of the
day we spend enjoying the pools. Yes, they are surrounded by swimming pools.
Take your pick! Fresh water pools or salt water pools. We managed to try all
the pools except the Windward since it was under maintenance at that time. You
should not miss the giant water slide!
My kids enjoyed the complementary bicycles around the resort. They never
get tired of biking! I myself tried the Kalesa ride around the resort, it’s
relaxing while enjoying the scenery. The resort had a lot of special lounges
that you can just sit and relax , read a book or just enjoy a quite moment.
They also have themed dinners with grand presentations nightly, each night
have different theme. I particularly enjoyed the “Sahara Nights” with the belly
dancing and more. Check the schedules during your stay and reserve early.
They can also accommodate company outings; they have several function
rooms that will suit your group requirement and don’t worry about the food –
they have the best food choices and in large servings. Our groups is around 60
people, and we manage to arrange activities around the resort with the
assistance of their very accommodating staffs.
