Accommodations and Grounds

Plantation Bay Resort and Spa sits on 11 hectares of landscaped grounds with 2.3 hectares of saltwater lagoon. Most rooms directly front the lagoon, offering 46-square-meter spaces with separate tub and shower. The low-rise, village-like architecture ensures that every guest is always front-line to the water.

Dining

Four distinctive restaurants serve meals across the property: Asian-Seafood by the sea, Mediterranean-Steak in an Art Nouveau setting, an authentic American Diner, and an International coffee shop. Themed breakfast buffets rotate daily, featuring Filipino, Mexican, Italian, and Chinese cuisine. All outlets use fresh ingredients, with pastries, bread, and ice cream made on-site daily.

Wellness and Spa

Mogambo Springs Spa is a Japanese-inspired facility with hot, cold, and saltwater pools, a needle-shower, waterfall, sauna, and steam bath. Guests can access the spa for a 500-peso entrance fee and choose from a full range of therapies including body scrubs, wraps, and couple massages. The spa also offers a floating sound bath and meditation session for additional relaxation.

Activities and Entertainment

On-site activities include archery, wall climbing, tennis, pickleball, badminton, a firing range, and an arcade game room. Water sports range from kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the lagoon to scuba diving at offshore sites 15 minutes away by boat. Evening entertainment features themed dinner nights and live music performances by resort staff.

Family and Children

The resort offers a kids' club with daily craft activities, a children's playground, indoor play area, and a children's boot camp. Family rooms include bunk beds with a video game console for up to six guests.
