Are you tired of resorts that look like hometown hotels? Most hotels overlook a big private lagoon and artificial beaches at Plantation Bay Cebu, a community by design. The low-rise building looks good. Comfortable, well-appointed, and large (46 square meters/490 square feet) rooms include great bathrooms (separate tub and shower, huge counter area). Some rooms feature functional two queen beds, while others offer beautiful king four-poster beds.
This resort offers more recreational activities than any other in the nation, or possibly the world, just 30 minutes from the airport or Cebu City’s core. Scuba (dive sites offshore or 15 minutes by boat), island cruises and picnics, wall-climbing, archery, tennis, pickleball, badminton, Arcade Game Room, Gym, Children’s Boot Camp and daily activities, Botanical Tour, Bird-watching guide, golf (nearby), mall/shopping/gaming (20 minutes), whale-shark watching, and other excursions all day are available.
At this pricing, no resort offers more space per visitor. 28 acres for 255 rooms. Four large freshwater ponds and a 2.3-hectare (6-acre) saltwater lagoon. No one fights over pool chairs; everyone is on the forefront. We explain why leaving responsible older children alone is safe on our blog.
But wait, there is more!

Spa

The spa resembles an 18th-century Japanese hamlet from the Tokugawa era, complete with roaring waterfalls, a creek, and mist. In the main waterfall basin, enjoy a hot spring, mineral bath, or strong hydro-massage. After sweating out pollutants in a dry-heat sauna, pick from massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, or body scrubs.
Even at the world’s most luxurious spas (including some overhyped foreign-owned Philippine resorts), the reception decor is often lacking. A poorly furnished room, smaller than a prison cell, costs a lot for just one to two hours.
How clever! The huge Japanese-style gardens, featuring towering banyan trees and flowing bamboo reeds, and the rustic yet stylish Japanese-inspired decor in each treatment room make Mogambo Springs an immersive experience.

Families with Three Generations
Children can engage in water sports and amusement arcades, while parents can enjoy seclusion. There are numerous facilities designed especially for senior citizens, including tea tasting, physical rehabilitation sessions, and mind-expanding movie presentations in various languages, among many others.
Romance
You’ve decided to plan a romantic getaway. Perhaps even a honeymoon or wedding. Where you go won’t matter if you’re both legal teenagers and you think having intercourse for three days, eighteen hours a day, will keep you both entertained. Well, Congratulations! The only solution to any amorous need is Plantation Bay Cebu Resort & Spa.
Foodies
Many meals are classified. A real American diner, a Mediterranean steakhouse in an Art Nouveau setting, Asian seafood by the sea with seats inside or outside, and a coffee shop with views of the main pool and saltwater lagoon. They all serve excellent meals, some of which they claim are the best. Learn how they can claim that and don’t miss the chance to try authentic Filipino dishes while you’re there.
Corporate Gatherings and Rewards
Unusual team-building activities, a setting that is exceptionally outstanding to impress your participants, and a variety of locations to encourage positive emotions and high energy levels.

Select the Best-of-Beachside Package, which offers two people a daily “spending allowance” of £110 at a discounted package fee. This amount covers two meals and beverages, a massage, and a two-person island excursion. Although too many drunks and gluttons make it truly “all-inclusive,” it’s near enough for the majority of folks.
Young adults without children
Dance classes, whisky tastings, island picnics, and multi-bed accommodations are provided.
Remote workers and digital nomads
Workstations with fast Wi-Fi and lagoon views let you meet deadlines in paradise. Relax with a swim, spa treatment, or fine dining. Long-stay packages with discounts and bonuses make working remotely a holiday.
Adventurers
For your adrenaline fix, try parasailing, jet skiing, and scuba diving. Excursions that involve jumping from one island to another to see beautiful beaches and secret spots. If you can keep up, try your hand at target shooting or archery on land.

Choosing from these 2-hour to full-day customised excursions will please family and friends. Each activity at Plantation Bay is unique, safe, and 5-star, unlike any other resort or guide in Cebu.
- Coral Reef Encounter
Diving and snorkelling are popular at Hilutungan Marine Sanctuary. Search the Jacks and Bat Fishes for Damsel, Parrot, and Clownfish (or Nemos, as in one Disney movie). Tropical fish that are nicer will swim with you or eat bread.
- Bipolar Island Experience
Snorkel with fish, then relax on a sandy beach with calm waves. A great way to spend a day in Mactan’s tropical waters.
Hilutungan Island: Coral and tropical fish-filled marine refuge.

You’ll discover that the laid-back setting, delicious food, and discreet service are ideal for bringing all sides to the table and achieving positive outcomes for everyone.
Elderly people
Although Plantation Bay Cebu has many features specifically designed to appeal to older tourists, its greatest asset is that it is a real community for the living rather than a geriatric community or, as some Filipinos would say, “Pre-Departure Area” (But it takes around 20 minutes to get to the main shopping, dining, and gambling areas.)
For Convalescence, Senior Travel, the Disabled, and the Bereaved

Plantation Bay Cebu is a top choice for older travellers, those recovering from sickness, and those with special needs. For Convalescence, Senior Travel, the Disabled, and the Bereaved.
- The blossoming trees and plants, the sound of rippling water, and the soft sea breezes will all be appreciated by blind people. Don’t look elsewhere if you’re looking for a loved one who is blind or deaf.
- A short ramp leads from the main road to our 17th-century Japanese-themed spa, which offers guided physical therapy and healing massages. It’s similar to travelling to another realm via a magical portal.
- The resort is dotted with numerous covered rest spots. No squabbling with other visitors for space or a quiet location to yourself.
- The best of all remedies and the best way to feel young again is to be surrounded by cheerful workers who have contagious good humour.
- A calm, soothing atmosphere is actively maintained. Plantation Bay Cebu is a world-class peaceful resort. (However, major shopping, dining, and gaming centres are about a 20-minute drive away.)
